Great house, great location. Everything was perfect.
We had a great time here. Both houses were very clean, well appointed, and in a great location. 10 min from downtown and on the way up to the slopes. Very secluded, can’t even see the neighbors! We had a group of 10 (adults/teens) and no problem with space. Had a couple bedrooms to spare even!

Red Cliff Rocks!
Our week at Red Cliff Guest House was amazing! Spacious and beautiful, just outside of Durango, was a week of Heaven. We star gazed in the evening, watched a herd of elk at edge of property, and loved every minute of our stay! John was excellent and made communication so easy!! Sure hope to be back someday!!

Red Cliff was wonderful.
The house is unique and well kept. There is plenty of space, great views, and the games in the basement were a hit with the kids! Evenings on the patio were a treat with the beautiful views and dark skies with many stars visible. Property management available yet unobtrusive, and check in and out could not have been easier. Beautiful home, and so many fun things to do in the area, or just drive anywhere nearby for the views!

Guys golf trip
Rented the Red Cliff Guest house with my golf buddies for 6 nights. John, the owner was great to work with. He was very prompt in getting back to me about my questions and working with me when COVID forced us to change our plans. He also had some great golf information. The house was huge, very clean and had more amenities than any other place we have rented (even a meat thermometer). It also had fantastic views with lots of wildlife around the house. The house is located about 30 seconds from the Bar D Chuck Wagon dinner show, which we all really enjoyed. Thanks again for a great stay, John. We would highly recommend this property and would definitely rent it again.

Perfect stay at Red Cliff House
We had the best time at Red Cliff house! It was perfect for our large group of 11. We rented both the main house and guest house. Plenty of room for our group to stretch out. The views were gorgeous and the house was well stocked. John was easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions. The location was perfect! Halfway between town and the mountain. Easy to get to both. We had a wonderful Christmas vacation. They even had a tree for us! And it was a white Christmas. So much snow! We can’t wait to go back!

Family Vacation
The facility itself was perfect for our family. Everyone was pleased with the bedrooms, etc. Nice playroom downstairs that was cooler during the heat of the day. John was very accommodating with our pet situation and very attentive to making sure we had a good stay. The kitchen area in the guest house was a real bonus as the people who stayed there didn't have to hoof it over to the main house for coffee, snacks, etc. The only negative for us was there was no grass area for the kids to set up group sports like whiffle ball, badminton, etc. That was offset by the hiking up the hill and exploring for bones, etc. Plus the kitchen area got really hot in the late afternoon and when we were cooking. But I understand that most of the homes we have stayed at in Colorado are not air conditioned and I get that. All-in-all we had a great time and can recommend this property.

Great spot. The house is perfect for large families, two floors of living space, air hockey, foosball, big screen tv on both floors, plenty of room for adults and kids to have their own space. Definitely would recommend.

Beautiful, comfortable and accommodating
I don’t have one single bad thing to say about Red Cliff. The house was perfect for our size of group. It was clean, comfortable and has all the amenities we were looking for. The scenery in the area is amazing . John, the property owner is outstanding and really cares about his guests and making sure our stay was perfect. He made himself available in case we needed anything. I would recommend Red Cliff to anyone . It’s not far from the ski area which is a huge plus. This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Red Cliff and I’m sure it will not be our last!

Perfect location and roomy for large group!
This was our second year in this house! We love it and will return. Great location between Durango and Pugatory ski resort. There are three family all with 2-3 teenage kids that stay in the second house while the adults stay in the main house. It is clean and roomy with beautiful views. I watched a deer walking through 2 feet of snow outside the bathroom window while I soaked in the huge bathtub. Worth the drive from Texas!

About the host

Hosted by John Ryan

Host profile image
I am a 30 year Durango local. I feel I know the area very well and I know what guests are looking for when they come to Durango. I know who to rent ski/snowboard gear from. Discounts on ski/snowboard rentals available. Also group discount at Trimble Hot Springs and Rapp's Guide Service on horseback and sleigh rides. Who to raft with, horseback ride with and great golf spots. If you are looking for a casual dining spot or a nice dinner for you and you spouse I know where to go. I have traveled all over the country and you really cannot find a better spot than Durango.

Why they chose this property

The homes are really set up perfectly for a vacation. The gameroom is a perfect addition to house so there is plenty to do while relaxing at houses. The guest house is just perfect for the larger groups. And the location is the crowning jewel. No neighbors next door. Incredible views and short drive to town and to ski resort. HOMES CAN BE RENTED SEPERATLY
