Red Cliff Rocks!
Our week at Red Cliff Guest House was amazing! Spacious and beautiful, just outside of Durango, was a week of Heaven. We star gazed in the evening, watched a herd of elk at edge of property, and loved every minute of our stay! John was excellent and made communication so easy!! Sure hope to be back someday!!

Red Cliff Getaway
We loved our stay here! The main and the guest house were both very clean, spacious, unique, and entertaining. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.

Red Cliff was wonderful.
The house is unique and well kept. There is plenty of space, great views, and the games in the basement were a hit with the kids! Evenings on the patio were a treat with the beautiful views and dark skies with many stars visible. Property management available yet unobtrusive, and check in and out could not have been easier. Beautiful home, and so many fun things to do in the area, or just drive anywhere nearby for the views!

Rented the Red Cliff Guest house with my golf buddies for 6 nights. John, the owner was great to work with. He was very prompt in getting back to me about my questions and working with me when COVID forced us to change our plans. He also had some great golf information. The house was huge, very clean and had more amenities than any other place we have rented (even a meat thermometer). It also had fantastic views with lots of wildlife around the house. The house is located about 30 seconds from the Bar D Chuck Wagon dinner show, which we all really enjoyed. Thanks again for a great stay, John. We would highly recommend this property and would definitely rent it again.

Perfect stay at Red Cliff House
We had the best time at Red Cliff house! It was perfect for our large group of 11. We rented both the main house and guest house. Plenty of room for our group to stretch out. The views were gorgeous and the house was well stocked. John was easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions. The location was perfect! Halfway between town and the mountain. Easy to get to both. We had a wonderful Christmas vacation. They even had a tree for us! And it was a white Christmas. So much snow! We can’t wait to go back!

Family Vacation
The facility itself was perfect for our family. Everyone was pleased with the bedrooms, etc. Nice playroom downstairs that was cooler during the heat of the day. John was very accommodating with our pet situation and very attentive to making sure we had a good stay. The kitchen area in the guest house was a real bonus as the people who stayed there didn't have to hoof it over to the main house for coffee, snacks, etc.
The only negative for us was there was no grass area for the kids to set up group sports like whiffle ball, badminton, etc. That was offset by the hiking up the hill and exploring for bones, etc. Plus the kitchen area got really hot in the late afternoon and when we were cooking. But I understand that most of the homes we have stayed at in Colorado are not air conditioned and I get that.
All-in-all we had a great time and can recommend this property.

Red Cliff
Great spot. The house is perfect for large families, two floors of living space, air hockey, foosball, big screen tv on both floors, plenty of room for adults and kids to have their own space. Definitely would recommend.

Beautiful, comfortable and accommodating
I don’t have one single bad thing to say about Red Cliff. The house was perfect for our size of group. It was clean, comfortable and has all the amenities we were looking for. The scenery in the area is amazing . John, the property owner is outstanding and really cares about his guests and making sure our stay was perfect. He made himself available in case we needed anything. I would recommend Red Cliff to anyone . It’s not far from the ski area which is a huge plus. This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Red Cliff and I’m sure it will not be our last!

Perfect location and roomy for large group!
This was our second year in this house! We love it and will return. Great location between Durango and Pugatory ski resort. There are three family all with 2-3 teenage kids that stay in the second house while the adults stay in the main house. It is clean and roomy with beautiful views. I watched a deer walking through 2 feet of snow outside the bathroom window while I soaked in the huge bathtub. Worth the drive from Texas!

Wonderful place for a family reunion!
We 4 sisters and our children and grandchildren, 14 people total from TN, CA, TX, and LA, had a fulfilling week (July 14-21, 2018) at Red Cliff Guest House, including the house behind the main house. We were all blown away by the beauty and spaciousness of the homes, as well as the impressive setting and views! We watched elk and wild turkeys stroll by, too. The homes were well-stocked with what we needed, just adding our food and drinks and occasional supplies. We were able to seat everyone for meals by using the 4 stools at the kitchen bar, too, and the open dining, living, and kitchen areas made it easy to all communicate. The 3 levels in the main house and having the extra house allowed for individual quiet time when needed. There is space we never used that would be great for a large gathering. I don't think we have ever stayed in a place so well stocked for entertainment; the younger people loved having the game table! There is a handy gourmet market and a liquor store within a short drive, if you don't get into Durango one day. And Durango and area have plenty of fun things to do, from taking the famous Durango-Silverton train ride, to relaxing at Trimble Hot Springs or Pagosa Springs, to rafting the Animas, to hiking, exploring historic Durango, or catching a dinner performance at the Bar D Chuckwagon Ranch very nearby. We also explored our family history at the Animas Museum and went to our grandparents' (great or great-great grandparents' for those younger) former home on East Park Ave. Red Cliff property manager John Ryan could not have been more helpful or accommodating. An all-round fabulous vacation spot!

Awesome trip
Just a quick note: My family had a wonderful trip to Durango, while staying at Red Cliff Guest House. Everything we needed was provided for our stay! Making arrangements with John Ryan was amazing. He was always available (immediately) to answer our questions. Thanks for the opportunity!

Awesome location! Beautiful and Spacious!
This was the best place that we have stayed on a ski trip. It is hard to find a place to accommodate 3 families that include 8 teenagers. It is spacious and has everything you need to cook meals, watch TV, play games, hike or just relax. The location is convenient for going to Durango and the ski resort. The layout of the house is perfect and very comfortable. We will be back this time next year!

Red Cliff Guest House - Spring Break Ski Vacation
Awesome location and only minutes from Purgatory Ski Resort & Durango. There's a grocery/liquor store just down the road 5 minutes away. The directions to the cabin and procedure to access the houses were precise & accurate - no issues accessing either house. We had a large group of 15 and everyone was very comfortable...plenty of room!! The kitchen in the main house was outstanding and well stocked with everything that you would need to cook for a large group. The kids really enjoyed the game room downstairs which made it very quiet & relaxing for the adults upstairs. Beds were very comfy and there were plenty of towels in the bathrooms along with plenty of hot water...don't believe we ever ran out. John with the property management company was friendly, courteous, and most helpful during our stay. Overall.....a great find!! Very relaxing, quiet, and peaceful. I look forward to returning on our next ski vacation.

Holiday / Ski Vacation
Wow, what a fantastic time our family had at the Red Cliff Guest House. Property had everything we needed for a fun family vacation. Plenty of room to spread out after some incredible ski/snowboard days on the slopes. As advertised property is right between town and ski resort so some of our family could head to the slopes and some could head to town easily. The game room with the gas fireplace was perfect for family games at night and kitchen had plenty of space and everything we needed for our family meals. Views are incredible & John the property manager was very easy to work with. Want to come back and also rent smaller guest house so we can bring more people!!

Grateful Durango Friends Reunion
We could not have found a better place to hold our reunion! Rented both houses for 5 days, Awesome 360 degree views. Large gathering spaces, the game room entertained the children, decks were the place to gather in the mornings & evenings. The houses were beautiful! I love the Red Cliff Guest House, we stayed in the Master and the view is incredible. I'm ready to take up residence at the Red Cliff House. John was great to work with. I still have a big smile..it could not have been better!
