Our third stay over several years. We are impressed with Martha's continued attention to detail and her warmth toward us. Thanks again, Brian and Robin.

Martha was a wonderful host! Lovely house with a great deck and charm. Another beautiful sitting area downstairs with wildflowers and fire pit. Close to Durango but still quiet and peaceful. Just what we needed.

This is our second stay and both times we’ve been very happy with the stay. Everything you need and more. Game room and hot tub are great. Lots of amenities, with snacks provided.

Martha is a superb host and the Rustic Rooster has every amenity one could need. We definitely will be back.

Loved everything about this place! We will be staying here every time we go to Durango!

This is a wonderful property, with expansive views of the beautiful Animas River Valley, located approximately about 10 miles north of Durango and about 1/2 mile from the river (close enough to hear its calming flow). Martha is a great host, perhaps the most accommodating of any we've ever experienced at a vacation rental, providing special personal touches (snacks, drinks, even treats for the dog!) and high quality finishes (very comfortable bed, high thread count cotton sheets, luxuriously soft towels). There are great hiking opportunities nearby, and County Road 250 (on which the property is located) is one of the premier road biking loops around Durango. We hope to be back for a longer stay!

We stayed at this property as a home base for bay trips. The property was well maintained and Martha though of everything inside the house! We felt very much at home and really enjoyed our stay there! Will definitely try to come back and stay longer!

First class. Location was superb. Decor was spot on. Photos do not do justice to either the interior of the house or the location. Highly recommend.

This rental has everything and more. We loved the quiet, the view from the porch, the great overall comfort, the great value for $$. Our mini Schnauzer loved it too! Advice to proprietor: don’t change anything! Many thanks!!

Cottage was a great place to stay. Comfy with all accommodations that one would need. Great location!

The Rustic Rooster Inn is a cozy cabin in a gorgeous setting! It is located next to the owners home but it felt very secluded and quiet. Very well stocked with all the amenities as described. Martha surprised us with having a dozen roses, champagne, and glasses set on the desk when we walked in. We were also interested in bike riding so she also provided bikes for us. We enjoyed using the hot tub which was very clean and had fun playing pool. Our favorite thing was to lay in the chaise lounges, enjoy the view, and read books. We highly recommended staying at the Rustic Rooster Inn!

We absolutely loved staying here. Has everything you'd need and Martha was kind enough to have gifts for us waiting once we walked in. Close to town, and Purgatory. Dog friendly, nice LARGE hot tub, game room downstairs. Just wonderful.

The house is in a perfect location, between town and Purgatory. It’s very clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. I would give it 10 stars if I could!

The little details that are so thoughtful make this a special place to stay and relax. We enjoyed everything about our stay. If you love nature like we do, then book a stay here. You won’t be disappointed.

My wife and I were looking for a nice and quiet location for a relaxing weekend before out baby was born. The property is on a large land area with great views. It had a hot tub and a bath tub for relaxation. The game area was fantastic with a lot of game options to keep us busy. There was access to many hiking trails and close to the town of Durango. Overall we had a great experience. Martha is a wonderful woman and we definitely plan on coming back to the Rustic Rooster because we loved it so much!

Nice quite location. Decorated beautifully

We were in the area visiting family and the Rustic Rooster Inn was the perfect jumping off point for so much of what we did. Proximity to Durango, San Juan National Forest, and the ease of driving to get to trail heads was great. The cottage was perfect, and all the snacks, wine as part of the welcome basket, as well as the game room were a perfect cherry on top. Martha was extremely responsive and helpful, particularly when we needed to bring in a bed for my sister to sleep on last minute! Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful property! Comfortable cottage! And a wonderful host! Very convenient to Durango and outdoor activities. By far one of the best stays we’ve ever had.

We felt right at home from the very moment Martha welcomed us upon our arrival! The game room & hot tub provided us with some light relaxation after our adventures in Durango! Lounging on the deck and embracing the gorgeous scenery was blissful! We look forward to visiting the Rustic Rooster & Martha in the near future!

Words cannot describe how AMAZING our stay was at the Rustic Rooster! HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone!! Our host, Martha, was absolutely wonderful! My boyfriend and I brought our two dogs from DFW, Texas. After a long drive, we were surprised to find several snacks, wine, dog treats and dog toys upon our arrival! Those are just a few examples of how accommodating this host is! The place is absolutely gorgeous and view of the mountains looks like a painting! 12 deer hang around the property and came right up to us! We will definitely be back. Thank you again Martha!!!

Such a great place and the owner is very gracious, would come back here when in Durango 😊

The homeowner is absolutely delightful. She respects her guests privacy. The home is perfect for one couple in an especially romantic setting. It’s professionally decorated and furnished and fully equipped for comfort. A surprise bonus....the homeowner supplied all sorts of goodies to enjoy during our stay. Yum! Ten minutes or so from Durango, the location is incredibly peaceful. We couldn’t wait to be back “home” on the deck at the end of the day to mesmerize over the view of the red cliffs, the sunset and the two horses. We appreciate very much the tranquil spirit here and feel like we won the lottery. Thanks M. Pat and Jeff

No detail has been missed in the preparation of this welcoming cottage. Martha's keen eye for design and her uncanny ability to anticipate her guests' needs, ensure a relaxing, comfortable stay. Just like many other reviewers, we too have stayed at many rental homes and Martha's is beyond compare. We look forward to staying here again and enjoying the hiking, dining out, and beautiful vistas of Durango.

Great place with everything you will need and more! Clean, quiet, comfortable. Great porch for relaxing. Close to town.

The Rustic Rooster is cozy and comfortable. The downstairs game room is an added bonus. There were many snacks and drinks supplied which was a nice surprise.

Charming & peaceful, both Mildred and her cottage. I cannot begin to tell everyone what a delight Mildred is. She has the charm, caring and professional attitude renters always hope to have. We have rented many properties, this one is at the top of our list. The cottage is decorated to perfection and extremely clean. The beds were comfortable and there was movies to watch and books as well. The snacks Mildred left for us as well as the toy for our fur baby were great. This is indeed a unique cottage, you enjoy your stay here.

Beautiful cabin; wonderful host. Snacks, clean...couldn't be better!

Just what the doctor might have ordered!

We spent eight days traveling through Arizona and Colorado. This was by far our favorite place to stay. The owner was very kind and friendly. The beauty of this property and the animals awaiting us every morning made for a great start to our day. I would highly recommend this property.

Martha’s place was the most charming VRBO we have had the pleasure of staying in! Martha is a very gracious and welcoming host who gives attention to literally every detail, but also gives you plenty of privacy. The cottage itself is beautiful and comfortable. The setting is relaxing, and the views are great! All within about 15 minutes of town. Highly recommend if you are looking for a mountain retreat- I’m so glad we chose this one for our Fall getaway.

Our stay at the Rustic Rooster cabin in Durango was fantastic. The property has wonderful views, is fully stocked with everything you would expect and the owner is one of the most thoughtful host I have found. She remembered it was our anniversary and had wine and chocolates waiting for us inside on arrival. The porch was great for morning coffee and watching for the local wildlife which showed up often during our stay. The cabin is close enough to town that you can run in for dinner or shopping and yet far enough out of town you can see lots of wildlife in the morning and evenings. The property is just as depicted in the photos and it was spotless upon our arrival. The pool table and hot tub were fun to have as well. I highly recommend this property if your looking to visit the Durango area, it is fantastic.
