Whether your group consists of two small families or two couples, seniors, parents visiting their student at nearby Fort Lewis College, or you simply want a basecamp for your outdoor adventure getaway, this lovely Durango home offers an excellent balance of peace and quiet and mountain activity. Set back off the road just one mile from downtown Durango and nestled in the San Juan Mountains at the southern tip of the Rockies, this fresh and clean rental provides you the privacy you want on vacation with an abundance of fun outdoor options, as well as dining and shopping.

The bright interior with an open floor plan and high ceilings creates a cheerful environment for you to gather and enjoy the company of your guests. Fresh, white paint and glossy wood floors throughout make this home sparkle. An added bonus is the owner's framed paintings and photography hung throughout. Lounge on the comfortable sofas in the living room, one of which features recliners at either end. Warm up by the gas fireplace as you catch up on your favorite cable shows on the large TV, mounted above the fireplace. The large west-facing picture window in this room provides plenty of natural light and impressive views of the La Plata Mountains and surrounding hills.

The brand-new kitchen features tile flooring, all new stainless appliances that include a dishwasher, and lovely wood cabinets. Create delicious meals in this kitchen that has everything you need without feeling like you're missing out on the fun, thanks to the half wall with a breakfast bar between the kitchen and living room. If you want a break from cooking inside, whip up a scrumptious meal on the gas grill on the patio and enjoy the clean mountain air as you and your guests kick back, relax, and catch up. This lovely house sleeps up to six guests, and with all new beds and new bedding, you'll be sleeping in style. You'll find a king-size bed in the first bedroom and a queen-size bed in the second. The third bedroom is great for kids with a full/twin bunk combo. The bathroom is new and nicely done. This home also offers a washer and dryer in the hallway for your added convenience.

Check out the bike path at the bottom of the driveway or the mountain bike trail that runs into Horse Gulch just a quarter-mile down the road. For those who want to venture further out, explore all the wonders of San Juan National Forest. A multitude of hiking, rafting, and fishing options are available, either on your own or with guides, and don't forget about the Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum. In the winter, hit the slopes at Chapman Hill Municipal Ski Area (a little over two miles away) or Purgatory Resort, which is 28 miles away. And of course, you'll want to explore downtown Durango for shopping and dining out.

Nice Small House

House was very clean and well stocked. It is close to Fort Lewis College, but a little outside of walking distance to access downtown. The only limitation is that there is just one bath (we had 4 adults), but that was very clear from the listing. I would stay here again.

Quite neat home

We enjoyed our time in Durango and to come home and relax in a nice quiet space was wonderful. Put girls loved watching the deer each morning while eating breakfast. The location is very convenient to downtown and all the local activities.

Good place to stay

The property was great. We had a little hard time finding it but your directions were good. We just took a few passes. The house was comfortable and suited our needs. Beautiful location. Our only suggestion would be to turn up the hot water a little and find a way to increase the water pressure. The shower needed warmer water with more water pressure.

Family Ski Reunion

We took our adult children skiing for a week, and this house suited our needs just fine. The only glitch was the electronic door lock didn’t work when we arrived late at night. It took a little while, but we eventually got the code for the lockbox containing the keys.

Very Disappointed - Be Sure to book direct with VACASA to avoid the VRBO fee

The most troublesome issue was a very offensive odor permeating the "cabin." We opened all the windows to get in some fresh air. Despite the fresh air, the odor persisted through out our 4 day visit. It was strongest in the front room near the sofa and bar stool area. We never could figure out the source. Also very disappointing was a non-working fireplace. It was chilly in the evening and morning so we were looking forward to using the fireplace. The front yard was un-mowed and had sprinklers on a timer to insure the long grass was always wet. I would have turned them off but I didn't locate the timer until our last day. The master bedroom bed sagged in the middle. The yellow sofa in the front room was wallowed out so it too sagged very low when occupied. The only good attribute was the location.

Excellent except....

Great location, nice place for sure. Only issue was a mouse...or two....and an odor that we finally located to a mouse corpse. Very good and clean except for this.....which, for a girl's trip group, became an unnerving couple of nights.

1st and last VRBO/Vacasa stay

Poorly maintained. Front door deadbolt couldn’t be locked with key, door handle (only way to lock door) very loose. House had an offensive odor which was sorta masked with heavy air freshener (applied just before check in). Reported these problems immediately, no effort made to fix them. Owner was aware of the deadbolt, handwritten note inside about the deadbolt not working. VRBO surcharge is 30% for various fees and taxes. Last night’s Hampton Inn’s surcharge was 14%. The property overall was seedy. Does have a nice bathroom and beds. Kitchen and living room dated. Front porch is the best feature . Good location.

Misled with a Marvelous Mountain View

When we first arrived, we had a little difficulty finding the property but finally saw the black mailbox next to another black mailbox with 922 on it. The other mailbox said 942 and we really weren’t expecting such close neighbors. We received the entry code in a text message but didn’t realize the key was inside the key box. I expected the code to actually turn the door handle like those at home. We had to call the manager and after a few minutes someone came to open the door for us. We felt she was a bit snarky as she told us she had to get to a memorial service. When we entered the house all the windows were closed with a tiny room air conditioner running in the foyer. It was set at 65 degrees but it didn’t cool the house in the least. There was a sign in the fridge that told us to turn off the a/c at night and put the windows up for “Colorado air conditioning.” Ceiling fans in the bedrooms would have been very helpful. Also the tiny air conditioner should be replaced with a much larger one and placed in a living room or kitchen window. A split a/c unit would be economical and much more efficient. Another thing we encountered was water coming into the front bedroom from the sprinklers at 5:45 in the morning until after 8:00. When I was awake I realized it and closed the window but there was water on the floor and the corner of the bed. The sprinklers came on every morning for 2-3 hours at a time! We were misled by the VRBO ad into believing that this property was away from neighbors and traffic but there was plenty of that. There were positives, though. The patio chairs and lounge chairs were wonderful for sitting outside in the mornings and evenings. The deer were fun to watch. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was very clean. Just a few improvements would make a stay at this cabin in the summer much better.

Get-Away in Durango

Check-In was easy. Lots of places to sleep. Kitchen was well stocked of kitchenware. Only 1 dishwasher pod was provided for a whole weekend. Management did bring more when called. Beware of lawn sprinklers - they will wake you at 5:30am if your bedroom window is open. Sprinklers stayed on from 5:30am to past 8am both mornings. (we left around 8am both days). A small note warns you that keys do not open the top lock. Did we pay attention? No. Had to call management 2x to see if we could get back in. By 4pm - we still could not obtain entry. Management did showed up to help later that day. If tape (like duct tape) had been placed over the lock, we would have paid attention. Trash was tucked away in a separate out building. I hope management gets a trash service soon, there were over 10 bags of trash already there when we arrived. We loved the yard & patio. Lots of chairs provided. The gas grill was clean and started right up. Easy to use! We would definitely come back for another stay.
