We enjoyed our time in Durango and to come home and relax in a nice quiet space was wonderful. Put girls loved watching the deer each morning while eating breakfast. The location is very convenient to downtown and all the local activities.

Good amount of parking for larger vehicles, and secluded. 3 bedrooms that sleep 6 comfortably. Nice linens and toiletries were very appreciated. We would definitely return.

The property was great. We had a little hard time finding it but your directions were good. We just took a few passes. The house was comfortable and suited our needs. Beautiful location.
Our only suggestion would be to turn up the hot water a little and find a way to increase the water pressure. The shower needed warmer water with more water pressure.

Great location in Durango and close to everything. Roomy house with a nice patio, kitchen, and living room. The one bathroom was a bit small though. Very clean and good communication with Vacasa.

This was a perfect place for my family of four to use as a home base for our trip to Durango. The property was exactly as shown in the listing and central to all our excursions.

We took our adult children skiing for a week, and this house suited our needs just fine. The only glitch was the electronic door lock didn’t work when we arrived late at night. It took a little while, but we eventually got the code for the lockbox containing the keys.

The most troublesome issue was a very offensive odor permeating the "cabin." We opened all the windows to get in some fresh air. Despite the fresh air, the odor persisted through out our 4 day visit. It was strongest in the front room near the sofa and bar stool area. We never could figure out the source. Also very disappointing was a non-working fireplace. It was chilly in the evening and morning so we were looking forward to using the fireplace. The front yard was un-mowed and had sprinklers on a timer to insure the long grass was always wet. I would have turned them off but I didn't locate the timer until our last day. The master bedroom bed sagged in the middle. The yellow sofa in the front room was wallowed out so it too sagged very low when occupied. The only good attribute was the location.

Great location, nice place for sure. Only issue was a mouse...or two....and an odor that we finally located to a mouse corpse. Very good and clean except for this.....which, for a girl's trip group, became an unnerving couple of nights.

This cute clean home served our needs very nicely. Would rent again.

Poorly maintained. Front door deadbolt couldn’t be locked with key, door handle (only way to lock door) very loose. House had an offensive odor which was sorta masked with heavy air freshener (applied just before check in). Reported these problems immediately, no effort made to fix them. Owner was aware of the deadbolt, handwritten note inside about the deadbolt not working.
VRBO surcharge is 30% for various fees and taxes.
Last night’s Hampton Inn’s surcharge was 14%.
The property overall was seedy. Does have a nice bathroom and beds. Kitchen and living room dated. Front porch is the best feature . Good location.

This property was perfect for our family. Right by town but far enough out to be nice and quiet. We very much enjoyed our stay.

The house was great however we didn’t enjoy getting woke up every morning around 6:00am with the sprinkler hitting our windows

When we first arrived, we had a little difficulty finding the property but finally saw the black mailbox next to another black mailbox with 922 on it. The other mailbox said 942 and we really weren’t expecting such close neighbors. We received the entry code in a text message but didn’t realize the key was inside the key box. I expected the code to actually turn the door handle like those at home. We had to call the manager and after a few minutes someone came to open the door for us. We felt she was a bit snarky as she told us she had to get to a memorial service. When we entered the house all the windows were closed with a tiny room air conditioner running in the foyer. It was set at 65 degrees but it didn’t cool the house in the least. There was a sign in the fridge that told us to turn off the a/c at night and put the windows up for “Colorado air conditioning.” Ceiling fans in the bedrooms would have been very helpful. Also the tiny air conditioner should be replaced with a much larger one and placed in a living room or kitchen window. A split a/c unit would be economical and much more efficient. Another thing we encountered was water coming into the front bedroom from the sprinklers at 5:45 in the morning until after 8:00. When I was awake I realized it and closed the window but there was water on the floor and the corner of the bed. The sprinklers came on every morning for 2-3 hours at a time! We were misled by the VRBO ad into believing that this property was away from neighbors and traffic but there was plenty of that. There were positives, though. The patio chairs and lounge chairs were wonderful for sitting outside in the mornings and evenings. The deer were fun to watch. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was very clean. Just a few improvements would make a stay at this cabin in the summer much better.

Check-In was easy. Lots of places to sleep. Kitchen was well stocked of kitchenware. Only 1 dishwasher pod was provided for a whole weekend. Management did bring more when called. Beware of lawn sprinklers - they will wake you at 5:30am if your bedroom window is open. Sprinklers stayed on from 5:30am to past 8am both mornings. (we left around 8am both days).
A small note warns you that keys do not open the top lock. Did we pay attention? No. Had to call management 2x to see if we could get back in. By 4pm - we still could not obtain entry. Management did showed up to help later that day. If tape (like duct tape) had been placed over the lock, we would have paid attention.
Trash was tucked away in a separate out building. I hope management gets a trash service soon, there were over 10 bags of trash already there when we arrived.
We loved the yard & patio. Lots of chairs provided. The gas grill was clean and started right up. Easy to use!
We would definitely come back for another stay.

Clean Home Close to Downtown and the University
We stayed for a bachelorette weekend in this home. The home was extremely clean. The bedding was clean and comfortable. Home was fully stocked and furnished to exceed our expectations. This home was close to everything. We even walked downtown.

Nice quiet spot for our family
Activities in town are super close, but we enjoyed the quiet spot. Our kids loved seeing the deer walk through.

Short stay in Durango
The experience was outstanding. The house was of good quality, not fancy, but adequate. No mice. Hot water was fine. No glitches. Not much of a view. Would stay there again without hesitation because of the great value.

Perfect except for funky steps
The property was amazing, loved the location, it had everything we needed. The only negative is the steps leading into the house. They are a weird size and shape. People kept tripping on them and my som actually broke his foot when he tripped. That put a damper on the experience as we could not do planned activities. We would definitely stay there again.

Nice cozy home
Nice that its near the main town and a quick drive in. Was clean, had nice cool breeze at night and good cable so we could watch the Olympics. Only thing I wish it had was a tad faster Wifi

Quite cabin near town
Loved the place. Deer grazing on the front lawn. Very quiet at night. But just across from the local college and five minutes drive from Main Street. Comfortable living room.

Close to town, but private.
Remodeled older home. Nicely furnished, but a couple issues. Issues were minor and we enjoyed being close to our Durango activities. We especially enjoyed the patio and outstanding gas grill. Thank you for letting stay at your convenient and comfortable home.

Beautiful location and homey feel
I would definitely stay here again. Just took some getting used to. The house has douglas hunter white shutters so light is strong in the house. If you're not a morning person and didn't bring an eye cover, this is hard because you will wake up at 5am due to light. House also isn't heated well so you do need to use the extra heaters in the closets as the household heater won't keep the bedrooms warm enough. Fireplace is a must in the mornings and adds to the ambiance so there's that!

Great spot, cute house
This house is even cuter than the photos and in a great location that is close enough to town without being in a busy area. Definitely would stay here again.

Great Home. Needs Snow removal.
The house was great and had everything we needed for a wonderful winter vacation. Once we were able to access the house, we had a great time. Due to heavy snowfall, the driveway was impossible to drive on even with our 4WD vehicles. I called Vacasa and was told the local manager would be contacted. He called me the next day. A lot of help that did... we had to spend $200 on snow chains for our 4WD truck just to get up the driveway. The driveway was finally shoveled the next afternoon.

Great home for a getaway.
Great home for a getaway. We came to Durango to do the Durango to Silveton train. The house was clean with everything we needed. The WiFi worked great which was nice so we could do school.
My only complaint is about vacasa corporate not allowing wary check in even though the house had been employ and clean for several days. The customer service representative was not helpful at all and could not give a reason at all why we couldn’t do early check in except corporate policy.
Poor management to say the least!
