The location of the cabin is amazing! There is a little pond with fishes about 15 feet from the property. The cabin was roomy for our family of 4 and provided everything we needed. Response time from the property manager was quick, we definitely recommend this propery!

Thanksgiving

Beware these places that claim to be pet friendly until you book the reservation. After you pay you get the real pet attitude on what and where your pets can go. Not really pet friendly at all. Yard and deck in back are nice, but no fence between yard and busy corner you are on. Had I known the real attitude towards my pets I world have booked elsewhere. Btw very spendy for non secluded space. En suite master bath remodel was good though…

Beautiful backyard

Great home with an incredible backyard area. Great space for our dogs. Checking in was difficult because the code was sent after I started driving and lost internet, so I had to drive to nearly to Durango to get the code. Owners live next door which caught us off guard and would have been nice to know before I drove back to internet access.

Cozy cabin in a beautiful setting!

The cabin was perfect for our family of four and our small dog. We loved the location about 25 minutes outside of Durango and only five minutes to Purgatory. We also enjoyed fishing on Lake Electra right down the road. The cabin was clean and well appointed with necessities. We really enjoyed the views from the back patio. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Good for a small family

The highs.The location was great, just off the highway with entrance and exit lanes making it easy to access even at night. Under 10 minutes to Purgatory.The heating was great with separate thermostats for nearly every room.Nice little desk to get work done upstairs.The lows.The glass screen door does not close on its own and requires a good amount of force. The sliding glass door to the patio is also difficult to fully close.There is no garbage disposal and the kitchen trashcan does not have a lid. There is no larger bin on property, but requires a surprisingly long drive into the neighborhood to the dumpster.It also would have been nice to have access to the garage so we didn't have to scrape ice off the car in the morning.None of these are dealbreakers and overall our stay was great.and would likely stay again.

Fall Color in Durango

My husband and I had a wonderful week hiking and mountain biking. The house was in the perfect location. 20 miles north of Durango and the fall colors were magnificent. The house has everything you need to feel right at home. I am so glad I found this place.
