Our stay was great! Came into town for a wedding just outside of Durango. The house was perfect. The location and views are stunning, the layout of the house was great for our large family to stay together. Cleanliness and amenities were great. I would highly recommend this place and would happily stay here again.

Our stay was enjoyable overall! But, there are a few things to consider before booking.
Depending on who you are, an aspect to note is the 20-30+ Christian books throughout the house. While providing a bible for guests is a common thing, the sheer volume of religious literature was a bit uncomfortable for us. Most of our group identifies as LGBTQ or has had past negative religious experiences, so this made us uneasy. We fully respect that we are staying in someone else's home and honor all beliefs, but the amount of religious material felt overwhelming and somewhat forceful (on nightstands, by toilets, etc). It didn't give us the impression of an inclusive or welcoming environment. This isn't evident in the listing or photos, so it's worth considering if this could affect your stay.
A couple of grocery considerations: we didn’t care for the water from the tap or fridge filter, so we bought jugs of water for the weekend. Also, while basic spices are available, if you like hot sauce, spicier things beyond chili powder, or salt that isn't basic iodized table salt, you’ll need to bring those.
Considerations aside, the property itself was lovely! We enjoyed cooking in the well-stocked kitchen, waking up with coffee on the patio watching the sunrise and resident deer, relaxing on the big couch, and appreciated the laundry supplies after our hiking and biking adventures around Durango. We were also grateful for the coffee and soy milk the host provided for us.

This mountain home was spectacular! It was very clean, with great ammenities and very comfortable beds. The view off the back deck was to die for! We loved being outside of town and having so much privacy. The deer that wandered into the yard each day made our morning coffee extra enjoyable. We were only 10 minutes to historic downtown Durango. We were able to visit so many places and then retreat to this wonderful home each evening. We can't wait for our next trip! We will for sure be looking this property up as our first choice!

This house is about 20-25 minutes from downtown Durango is beautiful. The area was quiet and remote. My guess is this was an older cabin that someone did a great job renovating. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with empty cabinets for food storage and appliances seems fairly new to me. Living room and dining rooms were spacious and had comfortable furniture, though it can be warm in summer evenings. The beds/bedrooms were comfortable. The bathrooms were modern and spacious.
Our kids, all toddlers, were safe and enjoyed the playground and deer in the yard, though next time I'd bring a baby gate for the stairs.
Lauren was responsive with all my questions and helpful at providing all the extras we requested.
I think my only negative about the house was no over the range hood to remove cooking gasses when using the gas oven/range, however there was a grill outside.
If I were doing it again, I would pack more food so I don't have to go in to Durango as much and spend more time on the decks outside.
Hope this helps!

Someone came into the home while we were out. Noticed lights on in a locked closet. And gates open. We could tell someone walked in.
Also someone living underneath the house. Didn’t know their was people on a third floor below us.

We stayed for two nights, and I wish we had stayed longer. It didn’t feel like a rental property, but it felt like someone’s home. The kitchen was well stocked, the appliances were nice, the linens were nice, the mattresses were good…The view was amazing with great common area to hang out in. I hope we can make it back someday. And…there’s a playground in the backyard!
We had trouble getting the lock pad to work initially, but we eventually figured it out. The owner was quick to return our call.
It is a bit outside of town. It took us about 20 minutes to drive to the grocery store.

The cabin was so charming! Every detail was thought out. The view is amazing, and the local deer put on quite a show! We enjoyed coffee on the patio each morning watching the local wildlife. My kids fell in love with the neighbor cat, too. We had a wonderful time in the area!

The property was amazing, Had amazing views, was close to everything. Lauren was a great host and communicated with me quickly when I had any questions. I am so happy I chose to stay in this beautiful home. Plenty of activities in Durango, scenic hikes and train ride to Silverton. Can’t wait to come back.

The house is very clean and spacious, perfect for our family of 5. Many deer, hawks and rabbits to view from the large porch area. The kitchen was well equipped, all appliances are very nice. The AC works well, which was good for us since Durango was having record high temperatures.

Property was beautiful, well appointed and clean. Finishes were excellent. Even the bathrooms were immaculate. Most properties, the shower tile is grungy and mildewed. Not this one!
The only comment I have is we were not aware that someone else lived downstairs. That’s not a problem but it was a surprise. I would suggest that this is noted in the property description.
