Just like the listing says, a pet friendly house outside of town but easy access. Location and house were beautiful. Furnishings and kitchen appliances higher grade. Saw lots of wildlife. Would stay again.

Lovely home in beautiful setting. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend for any family wanting to stay in Durango area. Home is fairly close to Durango and after a day of shopping, taking a train ride or sightseeing, it’s a wonderful place to return to and relax!

Three generations of our family stayed in this wonderful home. It was perfect for our family of 7, ranging in age from 8-76. The house is lovely, had everything we needed, well-located to Durango and surrounding area. We enjoyed the outside dining area and yard with pretty flowers in bloom. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to stay near Durango in a beautiful, quiet setting. We loved our stay in this home.

This house had plenty of room to give everyone space to themselves but the best part of this property is the large, spacious and outstanding backyard as our dogs loved it as did us! Great to look out and enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks taking it all in! Saw deer and turkey several times. The yard is very well maintained and fenced in so you don’t have to worry about pups being outside enjoying themselves. Plenty of kitchen items for home cooking as well. Bedrooms very spacious and master bedroom upstairs is a great getaway. The drive into Durango was a short drive that was very scenic. We’d book it again when visiting Durango!

We stayed in this beautiful home because it was supposed to be fully fenced and pet friendly. The owner did allow our 2 mini schnauzers, but we had to walk them down the driveway to the road to use the bathroom everytime. It was supposed to be fenced but I couldnt let my dogs out because I can't control when and where they will pee or poop. The house does have a small beautiful yard and flowers and a great porch to sit out on at night.

Beautiful house with beautiful yard including visiting deer, The house was a little further from town than I realized but just had to plan to take the time to get places . The house is well stocked with everything you need except for condiments which seems standard after Covid. The deck overlooking yard is a great place to relax and BBQ.

We always prefer to stay a bit out of town, more in nature, and this house was perfect. It has everything you could want and more.

Property is beautiful and quiet with lovely views and remote feel while still being close enough to Durango. We mostly used the large kitchen (really nice!) and the two main floor bedrooms. The large king size master (which was very nice) was too far away from the other rooms to work for our family with very young children. Hot tub was nice and easy to access.

This home was in a great neighborhood. We were a family of 6 and we had plenty of room for all of us. Loved the foosball table and dart game. Rick was so kind to shovel the snow for us in the morning. We really appreciated his kind gesture. Would love to stay again. Loved the hot tub too.

The house is great, very spacious and well taken care of. The kitchen living room area is a great place to spend time making memories. I would recommend some blinds, it gets a little creepy at night when its pitch black outside but the lights are on inside. Overall everything was great and the host communicated well.

We loved this property! It had everything we needed and more, stocked with all the little amenities like lotion and bath salts. Our family of five relaxed here while we spent a few days skiing at Purgatory resort which was an easy drive. The hot tub was great and game room kept the kids happy.

Once i got the check in figured out the stay went very smoothly! House was clean and kept, we found our rooms comfortable, house was spacious. Views were incredible, saw deer right outside the front window. Neighborhood was quiet and house easy to find. Hot tub was ready to go and relaxing, just ask for more towels to have for hot tub then showers but not hard make work. Would definitely stay again as it's a beautiful property with a quick drive to wherever you want to go adventure. Thabks for the stay!

We stayed two nights and had the most wonderful time! There were baby gates placed strategically that was so comforting with toddlers running around. The house was so beautiful, cozy, and clean! The photos dont do the house justice. We loved all of the windows to enjoy the snow and the owners made sure the walkways were cleared for our arrival. Also the upstairs master bedroom was huge- pleanty of room for our two kids to stay in there with us. The dowbstairs master was also bigger than we realized too and the third room had two beds perfect for our friends kids! Lots of space:) Would 100% stay here again!

We loved the house but we loved the setting even more: the fenced yard with a lawn and boulders and aspen trees amid pines was just what we needed to get away from it all. The dogs loved everything too. We are eager to go there again

Our stay was amazing. This property is beyond amazing…you don’t have enough stars to rate it appropriately. It is accurately described in the property description but neither nor the photos nor the verbal description can really capture the beauty of the property or the location. When we arrived the view from the enormous balcony was enough to justify the cost, which is low for the value of the experience. Rooms are enormous. The kitchen is amazing, and because this house is obviously a home as well as a sometime rental property it is truly fully furnished. The outdoor space, with the amazing views, almost makes you feel that the outdoors are encroaching into the home. We had daily stare-downs with the deer and the wild turkeys who blissfully walked into the back yard right below the deck! The artwork inside the home is wonderful, all of the appliances were brand new, beds were comfortable, linens good quality. It was just the perfect place. I know I’m gushing. This place deserves it. About the only complaint I have…and I’m only bringing this up because I feel I ought to have at least one is that the instructions on the use of the electronics for the entertainment could be for more expansive. It’s kind of a complicated system. I would go back in a New York minute.

Property is exactly as advertised. The fall colors were popping and we had a wonderful time. Town was only a few minutes away and we really enjoyed our dinner at Fired Up Pizza. We also enjoyed making dinner at the house. It is so quiet and peaceful. Lots of hiking trails close by. Strongly recommend Gudy's Rest if you like awesome views!!

This property is a rare gem! It is located 15 minutes from downtown Durango and is easy to get to and from. Rick was very proactive and responsive in providing updates about the property and in providing the best directions for getting to the property. The house is located in a private development and provides a secluded and peaceful location in the hills - a very restful and wooded location. The house is in beautiful condition and is fully stocked with all the things that renters might need. The kitchen is ideally setup and excellent for our needs as we generally cook-in on our trips. The house is spacious and in immaculate condition. As a bonus, Rick has a number of this photographic works framed in the house. He has an exceptional eye and we enjoyed contemplating an appreciating them. If we are to travel in the Durango area in the future, we will definately seek to contact Rick first.

This is one of the BEST properties we've ever stayed at! Absolutely perfect in every way. Rick is a fantastic host. The well stocked home is convenient to restaurants, but we have no idea why you would ever want to leave. Thank you ... we will be back.

We've stayed at many rental homes- this is one of them that we could imagine buying to live in one day. The home itself is artfully done. The property is gorgeous. Country living- but super close to Durango. Our family of 4 (two kids under 7) and another couple had plenty of room. The kitchen was spacious and great for entertaining. Hot tub was a treat. Owner was helpful and clearly knows how to make the experience easy. Will definitely stay here again!

The house was well designed with a very comfortable layout and well fit-out. The kitchen was stocked with high end appliances and utensils. We enjoyed being out of the city and enjoyed watching the deer and wild turkey in the yard below the deck. Rick's photography was throughout the house and it was fantastic. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Durango is halfway between our scattered family and this home was perfect for us. It sits on a beautiful secluded piece of the mountain, yet only a short 15 min drive to town. The home has two masters, each with an en-suite bathroom, one on the main floor, the other on the 2nd level, which also has a game room complete with foosball and dart board. Much detail has been put into the home with lots of space for privacy and great shared space. Our favorite place: the large deck!

This house is just what our family was looking for. The spacious home has plenty room for everyone to spread out (and then some). The kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need for your stay. Situated on a cul-de-sac, this airy home provides lovely views, and it feels secluded, yet is conveniently close to town. The big bonus is all the lovely, inspiring art photography that fills this home. Thank you so much, Rich for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful home.
