Enjoyed our stay. Kitchen was well equipped. Beautiful porch view of the mountains. Bedroom was spacious. Wished they had cable channels but that was minor b/c Durango was a fun place to see and experience.

This was the perfect place for our girls trip! Very spacious & super clean. Four women each had their own bed. Twin beds were not quite as comfy as the king & queen, but okay. Full bathroom on each floor was very helpful. Kitchen had everything we needed. Views from balcony were fabulous! Excellent communication with property owner who lives next door, especially with info about activities in the area. Location was convenient. Owner did request that we remove shoes inside. We wished we had brought slippers to wear in the house. Overall it was a lovely home & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We all would love to return for another Durango vacation!

We really liked the house.We were disappointed there were two washcloths for 4 people for a week. Thankfully the owners responded and had some brought to us. The upstairs toilet would not flush so we spent time trying to fix it for several days. We are not plumbers so we kept working at it until it worked. When we arrived we could not get into the home since we didn't know where the key was to be found. We did notify them that we would be there at 4 pm. We luckily found it under the mat at the front door. The biggest thing is that the property was very clean and offered beautiful views. The owners were very nice, just not available for issues, since they were out of town.

We had a perfect stay for the IHBC over Memorial Day Weekend in Durango. The check-in process was smooth and the house has all the amenities of home and then some! Where have you ever stayed that had grapefruit spoons! Carol and Larry are excellent hosts and the home is comfortable for sleeping, dining, grilling on the deck, and sharing time in the living room or around the TV. We enjoyed every minute and didn't even use half of the amenities provided. The most grand feature has to be the beautiful view of snow-capped mountains and verdant valley and lake below. It is quiet and peaceful at night with stars above and on our last morning we awoke to find two mule deer on Carol and Larry's side yard laying down resting for an hour and rolling over and scratching their backs in the grass. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This trip was incredible. Although we spent most of our time skiing Purgatory, it was relaxing and comforting to know that we would come back to a house that provided incredible views while we recouped from the full day of skiing. The owners were great in providing information regarding Durango and provided fun ideas on local activities knowing we had my sons with us. Highly recommend!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was our first time in Durango, and Carol provided a number of great recommendations. The house was located in close proximity to golfing, hiking, and the downtown restaurants. We loved the deck - perfect place for morning coffee, afternoon snacks, or an after dinner drink. Carol is a lovely host. We’d stay here again.

Carol and Larry's house was perfect for what our needs were. The location is great, house was clean and would definitely stay here again.

The owners are very nice and accommodating. Loved just sitting and looking out over the country side.

Great location and wonderful hosts. Very nice couple who were eager to make our stay pleasant (even offered to make dinner!). The house layout is a bit unusual, with a bed in the kitchen/dining area, but we were very happy to have a full house to ourselves, with a patio and a nice view, right in Durango.

Third stay in Durango. This place was great. Everything was perfect.

Carol and Larry’s guesthouse is spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The view is beautiful and the surroundings peaceful. We have rented from them twice and will go back again if they will have us. You will not be disappointed.

Good location on north end of Durango. Very clean.

...but not the best for us. The online listing does not show that there is a queen bed on the upper floor (behind the dining table), not in its own bedroom, but part of the great room/kitchen. The lower level floor has two bedrooms and one bath, but in order to get to the second bedroom you have to go through the first bedroom to get to it. We are two couples who travel together on motorcycles. The lower floor with two bedrooms didn't work for us (only one shared bathroom & those in the back bedroom have to go through the front bedroom to come & go up to the kitchen/great room or outside). And for us, the couple downstairs had to wait until the upstairs couple woke up so they could come upstairs to start their coffee in the kitchen, or even relax in the great room.. Lots of stairs, up & down, several times a day. There is a very small bathroom on the upper level, about 1/4 the size of the one shown in the lower level. Also, for those of you on motorcycles, there is a long, hilly gravel driveway up to the house. We LOVED the covered deck though and spent a good amount of time there when we were at the house. The house was clean, nicely furnished, spacious & comfortable, but as I said, not for us. Would be great for families.

We were in Durango for a long weekend. House was just as described and very clean and comfortable. Great location and wonderful views. Thank you, Carol and Larry

Fantastic! The view is incredible and sitting on the deck with a cup of tea/coffee is the best way to start your day. The location is perfect…right down the street from a grocery store and a five minute drive into town. It provided the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life and the owners are most gracious. A++

It's exactly what we expected, alot of space and sleeping areas for a family of 5. The view outside the balcony was amazing. The owner was available for all communications via call /text. Carol was like part of the family our children adored her. We will for sure rent from these Wonderful people again the next time we vacation in Durango.

The pictures on this site do not do justice to the actual unit. Pros: The view from the deck is priceless The kitchen is well stocked Beds are comfortable Cons TV is not smart TV, however who needs TV with the views!!!!

Great views, good beds, lots of room, and we are planning to return again next year.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. Well appointed, comfortable beds and beautiful views. Carol and Larry were very pleasant and provided good restaurant reviews too!

House was great, perfect location for getting to town or to the mountains.,

The rental went smooth. The owners live on the property and came over to meet us when we arrived. She answered our questions and also made herself available for anything we needed during stay. The house fit our needs just fine

Great house for a family. Enough room for everyone to have space but still congregate together. Good location near town but far enough away to see wildlife. Close to road but still quiet. Our host was easily available for everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again

Love the property-tons of room and large closets and nice kitchen. Love the deck with great views. Great communication with the property owner who went above and beyond for us.

The owners are very kind people.

The home is very spacious, clean and comfortable! We really enjoyed the covered deck as it boasts lovely views and is an extension of the main living space. The deck includes plenty of chairs, eating table, side table and propane grill. Having two full bathrooms was helpful as we were traveling with another couple. The kitchen is large and well appointed.

Absolutely perfect property for our stay in Durango. Spotlessly clean, fully stocked kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. The home was so spacious and the porch was exceptional. Watched the sunrise and sunset everyday and a family of deer grazing in the yard. The location was very convenient as well. Highly recommend this property.

Excellent, well equipped home with easy access to grocery store, restaurants and hiking. Quick trip to downtown or well positioned for a drive to Silverton. We enjoyed it all. Owners were quite responsive and had numerous helpful ideas for our stay.

Fortunately this property was available for the dates we wanted to be in Durango. Loved the deck with the views and glimpses of the train. The kitchen had everything we needed. Enjoyed watching a doe (deer) with her fawns eat Carol and Larry's flowers in their yard. Clean, spacious, comfortable. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is clean and spacious and had everything we needed. It was a convenient location for our activities. We enjoyed the view from the deck every evening after exploring the area. We saw several deer in the yard and across the road. A queen bed was added upstairs after we made our reservation, so there was more sleeping space than expected. I would highly recommend this place to a family with children.

This home was the best! We ate outside on the second story porch. It was so enjoyable! The layout of the house was perfect. We enjoyed everything about our vacation at this beautiful home in Durango!

We needed a home base for our sons wedding, and this spot was perfect. Easy access to downtown. Thank you.
