the owners of this house clearly are not trying to maintain this home or update it to a comfortable use. Our experience is that they wait for complaints before addressing the needs of the home

Property worked out well for our quick last minute ski trip. Property was clean and well located.

Awesome place to spend time in the mountains.
We had an amazing time

The property is in a beautiful peaceful location. Clean, well stocked and comfortable. We loved our stay here!

The deck with a lovely view (and a sighting of a bear!) was our favorite part. The house was roomy for the four of us, the furnishings were comfortable. Our one complaint was that the kitchen wasn't very well equipped -- a coffeemaker, but no filters, for example.
4.1
Quiet and secluded
We loved our time at the Wren’s Nest. We saw a bear from the back deck (!) and made friends with the chipmunks. Perfect location to feel like you are in the nature part of CO, yet a quick drive into the town of Durango.

Chains & 4 wheel drive required for the driveway. Bring your own steak knives.

Very clean property. Exactly as presented in photos. No unpleasant odors anywhere which was a pleasant surprise as it is quite old and dated. Beds are very comfortable. All the appliances work great
Beautiful views from every window, quiet neighborhood, feels very secluded. The driveway is incredibly steep and the snowplow gets there whenever it does so take heed to the forewarning to have a 4wd and chains
I would suggest the owner take some time to organize the kitchen - there is a shortage of normal sized glasses , no steak knives, no sharp knives and no knife sharpener. There is an over abundance of plates, pots, multiple coffee makers , multiple food processors . Could use more in the way of tongs, spatulas and large serving utensils. And a bit more household supplies - we were a family of 5 for 8 nights and cooked all our meals there so ran out of trash bags and dishwasher detergent.
It is great to have 2and a half baths. They notified us ahead of time there would only be 9 rolls of toilet paper so glad we brought extra .

The property is in a great location. Needs some updating inside and cleaning of spider webs around the inside of house. There were a few stains on carpet and beds but overall clean property.
Bathrooms were on each floor, which was nice. Views of aspen trees and lake were beautiful!

Overall the experience was great. It was unfortunate that the lake was unavailable this summer. The house was dated but in good shape.

lovely house in the aspens
Love the location. This house is extremely clean. Awesome view of the stars at night with all the open windows in living area. Chipmunk were fun to watch. Bring bug repellent if outside a lot, the misquotes come out in the evening and early mornings due to the surroundings. Appliance are dated but work effectively. Furniture is also dated, a little broke down, but still comfy and clean. Ready to come back. We were the 2nd guest in this house, had some issues, but management was quick to respond to needs.
