My children, grandchildren, and I stayed at this beautiful house for five days this past July. We enjoyed the time spent here. The house was clean and spacious. The rooms were attractively decorated. It was perfect for a large extended family. We loved the tall windows looking out at the mountains.The kitchen was one of the most well-stocked kitchens we've ever had while staying in homes.. The second fridge/freezer in the garage next to the kitchen was a great help. The house had toys and games for the kids. The garage had fun games and activities for the kids to play with outside. We especially loved the two outside patios. We loved playing board games on the large front patio table while the kids played on the huge lawn. I can recommend this house as a great place to stay.

This home is beautiful and so well appointed! Our family reunion was fantastic and everyone loved the house! The layout is perfect! We had 7 kids that kept entertained while the adults could visit in peace.

Extended family stayed here for a week for an event in Durango. The setting was beautiful! There were several living spaces inside and out that allowed us to spread out when needed, but also gather together for meals. The kitchen was well-stocked with all of the dishes and utensils we needed, and some extra items we hadn’t expected—a very pleasant surprise! We did have to get a little creative with sleeping arrangements since our group was mostly adults, but the futons, roll-away beds, and foam mattress topper all helped make it work out! We definitely enjoyed our stay and would recommend for other large families!

This home was close enough to town yet far enough away to enjoy the red cliffs. We had the perfect number of bedrooms and we were able to cookout one night and enjoy the well appointed kitchen and huge dining room!!

We had our whole family together at Tall Spruce Tree House and we had a wonderful time. The house and yard easily accommodated us and the kids had a great time playing outside. What a beautiful area and home! We enjoyed exploring Durango and the train ride to Silverton was a highlight. We all felt comfortable and at home, thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

This property worked great for our large family. Places for the adults to hang out, and for the kids to play. Close to town, and not too far from the ski resort.

One of our favorite locations to stay. Thank you

Pros: The home was beautiful and more than enough space for our group of 10 to move freely throughout the houses without feeling like we are on top of each other. House was fully stocked with more than enough cookware, dishes, utensils, and glasses to make home cooked meals without any issues. Home is equipped with lots of things to keep everybody entertained. Cons: the beds were pretty bad and left the majority of the group with back pain by the end of our 4 night stay. The house has SO many rules…. No shoes allowed in the house, no eating OR drinking in the living/ game room (but there is a mini fridge and the pool table is there?). They have a pretty hefty check out process where you are expected to do at least 2 loads of laundry (for towels) and you cannot leave a load running in the washer when you leave, only the dryer. They also expect you to shock the hot tub every day after you use the hot tub….. they do state they can deduct $$ from your deposit if rules aren’t followed… Overall though, we had a nice stay here with a beautiful view of a snow covered mountain. Location was good, about 20 min from both downtown and Purgatory. We were just not prepared for such strict rules once we actually got there.

We were three generations including two families with friends and one older person. The home accommodated us very comfortably. The house is well-appointed and was extremely clean. It sits halfway between Durango and Purgatory. They provided snow removal. We would all recommend it!

This is my families second stay at this location and we enjoyed it as much this time as we did 5 years ago!

This beautiful, spacious compound was home base for our family for a few days. Close to downtown durango and to all the gorgeous hiking trails. Our family made lots of wonderful memories!

The property is in a great location and had plenty of room for the 15 of us to have together time and our own space. The kitchen is well stocked including grills and many items you may need for cooking. There are lots of games, toys, and things to do at the house so if you didn’t want to leave there would be plenty to do. We rode the train, went to Mesa Verde and hung out in the historic part of Durango all of this was within a doable distance to the house. We did bring two tiny dogs with no issue and there were a few baby gates in the garage available for use. There are stairs to the second floor but also in several bedrooms so the gates are really important for babies. There was a high chair available in the garage as well. We brought our 16 month old daughter for reference and had no issues. We would definitely return… not only to Durango but to this house! Beautiful views, beautiful location and beautiful property. If there was one thing to be aware of, the front yard is long but there is no fence and the traffic moves pretty quickly on the road in front of the house. The front yard is where you hang out as the back yard is really just a hill… we managed but if there was a fence in the front that would have made me feel a little safer with dogs and kids. I read reviews about the in house temp, we had no issue. It was pretty warm outside during the day and we felt comfortable in the house. We opened the windows in the evening and it felt great.

The house fit our needs well.

We loved this house! We had 16 friends together on a hiking vacation. Loved the property and the size of the house! I will say, for adults who are 30+ in age, 16 is about the max you can do comfortably (if you like a little privacy and actual beds). We had three in one master bedroom (futon + king bed), four in the other master (king + fold out queen), two in one queen room, one in one queen room (trip leader=privilege LOL), two in the twin bed room, three in the bunk room, and one in the futon/hot tub access room. The bunk room is really not the greatest for more than two adults with luggage, since there is no closet or hanging rack. Otherwise, the house is impeccable, the furniture comfy, the internet is easy and fast, it's not far from everything. and is really nice! There is a maintenance man who put out the trash and picked up apples from the apple trees, and we also think fixed a broken window crank while we were out. Thanks again!

The house, property and location were wonderful for our family reunion. We very much enjoyed the leisure amenities available (badminton, volleyball, corn hole, pingpong, fusball, spa, pool table, and puzzles). The kitchen was well equipped and spacious. And the Colorado rockies were great for hiking and photography. Thank you for making it available and for your support.

We had a family reunion and all stayed in the house. The younger kids loved the bunk bed room. The family with an infant enjoyed the second master suite to not wake others. We enjoyed the spacious master suite for our own quiet time. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pans, dishes, and utensils we needed for meal preparation. Overall, totally enjoyable!

Very nice house. Clean. Roomy. Great views while sitting outside. Just watch out for the apples falling from the tree on the front deck!

This property worked great for our family get-together. We especially appreciated that there was a bedroom for each family plus one that the kids could use if they wanted to sleep together. We enjoyed the outside eating area, the availability of yard games and inside games & puzzles. It was conveniently located so we could easily get to activities in Durango (train ride, rafting, fish hatchery, restaurants) or head out north to explore the area near and at Silverton. Would suggest checking the kitchen supplies then going to the grocery store because there are a lot of basics items already available.

College friends stayed in this welcoming home in Durango. The location was perfect for all our activities. The highlights included a raft adventure, trip to Mesa Verde, and a ride on the Durango to Silverton train. The home was clean, well provisioned, and had everything we needed for a memorable vacation.

This was a great place for a large family. We had an Easter egg hunt and family reunion and it was amazing, with plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. There was nothing we found wanting. Well stocked kitchen, plenty of things to do (pool table, ping pong, cornhole, and more)…. close enough to town to easily zip in, and right across the street from a great market. The only issue at all was balancing the temperatures throughout the house, something common with large homes, with some bedrooms cold while other rooms were a little warm.

Our family had a great time spending time together in this home. The house was in good condition, clean and in a great location. We are a good group of people who take care of everything, but the list of rules of what we had to complete and follow for the stay was a lot. Otherwise, we loved being there. Thank you!

Beautiful scenery. Nice location.

We had a great time staying here and it was perfect for our family get away. Plenty of space for all of us to eat, lots of games in house, and a beautiful view in the background to top it all off.

Great property! Great for our 14 member family for Thanksgiving. Lots of room, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and yard games for the kids. Would stay again!

We rented this home in place of a trip to Disneyland due to COVID and we couldn’t have been more pleased! The home was beautiful and welcoming! We had some plans to do other things but ended up spending a majority of our time in the home playing pool and lawn games on the beautiful lawn! You cannot go wrong in staying here!

Hosted family and friends in town for my daughter's wedding in this home, for which it is very well-suited for. Ample parking, easy location, lots and lots of space. Very clean and tidy. The best area was the huge dining room/kitchen, where most gathering occurred. We cooked many meals for the group of 22 persons, and it handled the demand well. The outside yard and deck was used for yard games and relaxing, beautiful backdrop and grassy area. The pool table/bar/living room space didn't get used much due to an odd no-drinks-allowed in that room policy. Bedrooms were all reported as comfy and functional. The two large bedrooms were great. It's an older and very large house and has its various small issues like cranky windows, sticking doors, broken blinds, worn out grill and so forth. The hot tub has a limitation on its heating and wasn't ever "hot" only warm, so it was used only once. But overall, this was a perfect home for our large-group hosting needs, we were pleased to have been in it, would use it again.

Our extended family of 13 stayed here at this beautiful home, it was spacious, clean and a great location for the wedding we attended at Purgatory ski resort and dining in Durango.

Beautiful location! The house met our needs very nicely! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make meals and snacks for our large gathering. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of space in the living areas!

We had a great time. Beautiful property

The house was a perfect fit for our family plenty of room for our big family! Property managers where always quick to respond as well!

Spent a week here with my siblings, their kids and grandkids! Family dinners every night in spacious kitchen and dining room were a highlight. Everyone loved the outdoor space and activities. The Tall Spruce house is nicely built to accommodate large families. Highly recommend it

We enjoyed a wonderful five days in Durango at the Tall Spruce House with siblings and our young adult kids. The location was convenient to downtown Durango and other activities. The home is very spacious and we enjoyed the fire pit and outdoor patio as well as grilling for dinner. There were other games, hot tub, etc available,but we stayed busy with planned excursions- jeeping in Silverton, Mesa Verde, and the wonderful train ride to Cascade Canyon.
