Second time at property. This time was not as nice as the first, bed was broken and very uncomfortable.

The apartment was a great size with a huge couch that could fit lots of people. The kitchen was so well equipped that it made cooking easy! We appreciated that it was stocked with coffee as we'd forgotten to bring some.Everything is just gorgeous, so clean, and comfortable that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. They even had large shampoo, condition, and

Plenty of room for adults and children. Spacious and thoughtfully appointed with games, throw blankets and all the basics in the kitchen,,, spices, oils, instant oatmeal, cocoa mix, and ice, plus all the pans, bowls, measuring cups, strainer, tea kettle, coffee maker and bean grinder, and dishes needed. Plus, we got a visit from a trio of friendly, tail wagging ducks!

A wonderful apartment-more like a home-with a view of the countryside of Durango. The space was excellent for our family of six including 4 (20+ year old) kids. The kitchen was full of cooking utensils, pots, pans, serving dishes, dishes, utensils, counter space etc. We cooked our meals there. We grilled off the porch with ease. The bedrooms and living room space worked quite well and smoothly for all of us. The openness of the living area with views out the windows and French doors truly added to our great experience! The view from the porch was wonderful and the sky from the master bedroom! The decorating touches were warm and welcoming to us as we kicked off our travels. The property with the pond, weeping tree, ducks, views of horses and goats plus the flowers were lovely! Meeting Erin and J and chatting a bit was sweet-with only a quick hello to the boys. Would have enjoyed talking more. Definitely choose to stay at this wonderful home. Additionally, we trekked out to Mesa Verde and loved it. Very great location for this day trip. Thanks E and J!! Blessings.

My husband and I traveled to Durango with our 4 young kids. We stayed at this property and enjoyed being in the country area, rather than within the city. The apartment is spacious inside the living room and kitchen area! We greatly appreciated the pack-n-play available for use so that we did not have to pack one. This was a great family friendly area to stay and qe thoroughly enjoyed our time in Durango!

We very much enjoyed our time at the Flying J. The property is located 20 minutes ourtside of Durango but the scenic views driving to/from the property make it worth every minute. The property is quiet and calm; the apartment is clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and well stocked.
The large deck was perfect for enjoying the serene views. Jason and Erin were very responsive to any challenges we encountered and were extremely hospitable. Would definitely return 🙂

We stayed at this property to ski at Purgatory during our children’s spring break. It had everything we needed and was a great spot to relax after a day of skiing. The owners were great and we highly recommend staying here if you’re in the Durango area!

We chose Durango to take our kids on the Polar Express. We had everything we needed and more. Jason and Erin even left our kids some hot cocoa and special mugs out for the kids upon our arrival. Games, movies and even a Christmas tree. It was quiet and just what we needed!! Thanks for the memories.

Modern and cozy, The Lazy J exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend for families as there are two separate bedrooms and a large living area for smaller children. Nothing I would have changed. Thank you for being so thoughtful with the amenities provided to your guests.

I highly recommend this clean, cute, well equipped two bedroom apartment to anyone visiting the area. Our stay included two couples for the weekend to ride our Harley's on the Million Dollar Hwy. There is a bit of a dirt driveway that the owners informed us about before booking and it was just fine riding the bikes on it. The property is a bit out of town but made for a quite stay. Would book again if we are in the area.

Everything was fabulous at the apt in the mountain. The family, beautiful and spacious apt, mountainous scenery and distance to town were perfect! We highly recommend this VRBO apt! Love it!!!

Would Recommend!
Very nice comfy place to come back to at the end of the day. It's a little bit out of town but it is pretty views, you drive along the river most of the way and it doesn't seem very long...and we have 4 kids so that's saying something! Just a heads up though on a couple things I missed.
They provide towels but no washcloths
No washer & dryer
And no qt or gal pitcher in the kitchen for mixed drinks.
Just small things which didn't make a huge difference but wish I would've caught beforehand.
All in all it was a nice place to stay and the owners left alot of nice personal touches giving the feeling that they cared and wanted to make your stay a good one!

Quiet, enjoyable stay
Perfect for a small group, gorgeous front porch view (not side) and short drive into Durango. Everything you would need in the kitchen as well. Watch for mule deer at dusk!

A great base of operations
This cozy dwelling has everything in a small package. We housed a family of six very comfortably. The kitchen was perfect for my wife and I to navigate around each other and get meals out.
If I were to pick any issues, I would say that there’s not a ton to do in the immediate vicinity, but that’s fine. It’sDurango, we wanted to get outside and travel around the area.
Also, if you have T-Mobile, there was a tower within about 200 yards, so service was better than at my house.

The location, although outside of town, was no problem for access to anything within a short drive. The accommodations were excellent and exactly as shown. The Lazy J is a gem with quite solitude enough for my son’s daytime distanced learning and then evening hiking, fishing, and experiencing downtown Durango. The owners is onsite and very responsive in case anything is needed as well.

Winter Vacation
My family enjoyed everything about this stay. The house was perfect for us. We really liked that we had the freedom to enjoy outside as well. My little family made a snowman, had snowball fights and explored the area. Lazy J was everything we wanted for our winter vacation and only 15 mins from town. Its beautiful inside and out and the owners are just as great. Thanks again for a wonderful experience.

Great get away and close enough to Durango area to enjoy the day and then return for peaceful rest to charge for another day.
Clean rooms and linens, spacious living room area and even toys for the little ones that come in handy if needed.
We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a place to stay.

Great base to explore Durango
This is essentially a garage apartment on a small farm/ranch south of Durango, and it's really an excellent base for exploring the region. It's about 10-15 minutes from town, but that's a small price to pay for the value you get compared with other lodging in the region, which oftentimes is either far more expensive, or of less quality, or more remote. The unit is well-stocked, with tons of kitchen supplies and one of the best home DVD libraries I've seen (there's no cable, but we didn't go there to watch TV). We didn't have any issues, but the owners are right there and I suspect they would be available if you needed any assistance. We'd definitely stay here again.

Relaxing place to unwind and enjoy Colorado’s beauty.
We had a wonderful stay at The Lazy J. I would highly recommend this home and will absolutely stay here next time we are in the area. My kids are 6 and 9 and asked every day to return home early enough to be able to play around the property. There were baby birds in nests and wild bunnies hopping around freely. The kitchen was very well stocked and comfortable to cook in which helped save us from eating out every morning and night. The house was clean and the owners were beyond nice and accommodating. Thank you for all your hospitality!

Beautiful Location
We really enjoyed being out in the country - nice to see horses grazing and bunnies running around - the deck was really nice to hang out on and check out the scenery. The apartment was great - clean and comfortable - my friend missed tv but I was fine without it. Jason was very friendly and helpful.

Great place
This apartment was beautiful and spacious. Very clean and well stocked.
The only thing we might've missed was the lack of satellite or cable, but since you're able to connect to Netflix plus their variety of DVD's we had no need for anything else.
It was a great, quiet location and we loved our stay.
