We loved our stay and this house was in the perfect location to mountain activities and traveling to downtown. The house was very clean, easily fit our entire family, and the property manager was very responsive. The pictures don’t do this property justice and we will be back.

The pictures didn't due justice to the home. The kitchen was extremely well stoked with pots,pans,bowls and cooking utensils. Home was clean and bathrooms were spotless. Every bedroom had it's own bathroom and the 4 main bedrooms all had a deck of the valley and the mountains. We were 4 couples but the house had beds to support 17. There was so much space that every couple had privacy.

This fabulous "home" was shared with our family consisting of 3 generations and 1 dog. It was beyond amazing and exceeded our highest expectations. Everything was perfect. We were confident we could get immediate assistance but never needed to ask. It snowed 18" (yeah!) and all driveways and sidewalks were cleared straight away. It was stocked just like your home would be and the furnishings and decoration were beyond anything we have ever experienced. Finally, I must mention that the home was perfectly suited for a dog with a wrought iron fence around the back. Thank you so much for the opportunity to have a wonderful family vacation in your beautiful home.

Our family of 16 have stayed at many rentals over the last 10 years and this one falls in the top 3. Floor plan is perfect for 4 couple who all want their provate room and batheroom. It's like having 4 primary suites under one roof. Bunk room was great for our teens and the little kids bunked with their parent's. Common areas very spacious for eating, games, football watching, fires and hanging out after a full day of skiing.

Reviewer Comments:
The views and the porches were fantastic. Loved the table outside and the den and kitchen were great. floorpan was a little funky but good for our large group because of our size. The house is a little tired in spots and needs some attention. The dryer in the laundry room on main level did not work and one of the sinks in the master bathroom was leaking and we could not use. Parts of the house were not as clean as expected.

Reviewer Comments:
Large spacious well appointed house. The location was very private and convenient enough (20 minutes to Durango downtown, 35 minutes to Airport), and close enough to 550. The views were great. The rooms were large and our party of 14 could spread out easily. Beds, linens, utensils were of good quality. Cleaning was exceptional. Owner Brad was very helpful and came by to acquaint us with the house and the area. He later came by to bring an air bed that we needed for a part of our stay. Overall, good service by the Property management company and the owner.Two opportunities for improvement:1. The two ACs are underpowered for the size of the house. In July (mid to high 80s), the upstair rooms were very hot during the day and not enough comfortable during the night. A few fans were there. But definitely needed more fans, at a minimum. 2. Depending on your preference, the Master suite could use more privacy for the shower/bath area. No doors or much of a screen/wall.Overall, you can't go wrong with this house.

An amazing family Christmas vacation is what this house and owner Brad gave my family. With breathtaking views and plenty of space for my 3 grown children, spouses, and 4 grandchildren, we made memories of a lifetime. The pictures do not do the place justice. The kitchen was well stocked with good cookware, dishes, silverware and provided everything we needed to cook some terrific meals. The large yard offered lots of space to play in the fantastic snow we received the second day. My Texas grandkids loved building the 6ft snowman. The spacious layout of the house offered plenty of room for everyone to have their own private space and bathroom while also providing several large areas to gather as a family to eat, play games, and make S’mores. Although the snow and ice provided a little challenge getting out of the driveway one day, the owner himself plowed the snow and helped us Texans get out to the road. We loved that it was not directly in town, but was close enough to enjoy all that Durango has to offer. You will not regret renting this house. We will be back!
