Great family vacation

The cabin was very cozy and felt like a remote location since you are at the back of the neighborhood. It was nice to be able to explore right out of the back door through the forest behind. The house had plenty of items to make our stay comfortable. There was more seating in the family room than the listing showed which was nice. I wish they were less worn out chairs and couches but great that we all had a place to relax and watch movies. We would definitely stay here again.

Mountain Get Away

This vacation home sits high on the mountain with spacious decks to enjoy the views and cool mountain air. We found the kitchen very well stocked with cooking equipment and plenty of dishes for a large family. The host was one of the best we have had, very helpful and easy to communicate with. Just wished we had seen a bear!

Great place to stay.

Met some family there and stayed for five days. Had everything we wanted; including a grill and plenty of firewood for bon fires. To simply bring food to the house and have everything else we needed was really great. The area is beautiful, very relaxing. The house is great and very clean; master bedroom is awesome. Thanks you to the host and I highly recommend.

My family and I enjoyed our time for sure.

We really enjoyed our time at blithe’s place. It is a little bit of a drive to get back into Durango, but it’s also a way and very quiet and very pretty. If you’re planning on going to Silverton or Ouray, you’re already almost halfway to Silverton. So that was another benefit from staying a little ways away from Durango. There is a bar and restaurant across the street from where you turn off to go to this place. It’s called, the nugget. Very unique place but we went there a few times as it’s very cool. I highly recommend staying at this place and planning on spending a night or two there. If got a permanent food truck on there that serves great food and also has some very good refreshments.

Snowboarding Trip

This was a really nice spot to stay if you are looking to snowboard/ski Purg. The house is well equipped with everything you need and plenty of room. They are not kidding about the 4x4 and quality tires though, definitely necessary during the winter months. I would definitely book again.

Quiet retreat

Took the family up to disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature. House was perfect for our stay. Close enough to town without too much hustle and bustle. Area was beautiful and quiet. House had everything we needed. Didn’t cook at all so can’t comment on how stocked kitchen was but the rest of the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Enjoyed the house and area so much we are returning next month with hopes of seeing the foliage change.

Sweet Mountain Cabin

We rented this cabin for our fall break. The location is amazing! The property is close to Durango and Silverton which makes it a great base for exploring lots of different places. The owner was easy to communicate with and accessing the property upon arrival was seamless. When we arrived, the kitchen counter and dining table had not been wiped down and there was quite a number of dirty dishes in the cabinets. Everything else was clean and well stocked. Some of the kitchenware (pots, pans, utensils) needs replacing. Overall, a great property. A few small updates would make it a 5 star place.

Quiet, spacious, and well stocked

This house sits high up about 10 minutes off the main road and half an hour from Durango and Silverton. It’s clean with plenty of room. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, glasses, etc. You get views of Castle Rock Peak (also a nice hike close by) from the living room. There were elk in the national forest land that starts right behind the house (steep, no trails, some bugs, but very wild. Bring GPS.) about 2 hours from the cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde National Park which are a “must see.” We were there in mid August, and didn’t have any problems with heat or bugs that others had mentioned. It can get warm if it’s sunny but it’s easy to open up and let the breeze through. They could maybe straighten up a bit around the outside, but no complaints, it was a great base for our week in the Durango area.

Mountain Vacation

This was such a cool location and the house was super cute. It was peaceful with beautiful views of the mountains. The only negative thing I would say are that the mesquites were bad, but that’s a part of being out in nature, so bring your bug spray. It was directly in the middle of the town of Durango and Silverton. We made a day of exploring each town. We had an awesome time and we would stay at this house again!
