Family ski trip

Our stay was just perfect. We have a larger family with four children, and the house was a perfect size. We felt that it was a great distance to the town, easy drive to Mesa Verde and purgatory. Everything was fully stocked for me to cook for my family and it was wonderful. My little girls especially loved the 3-D TV. What a treat for them. Thank you so much!!!

Secluded Retreat

The road to property was a little rough. After you get there, there is every thing you need. We lived eating outside. The porch swing needs adjusted, it rubbed against the house & hit the back railing. Just the right amount of space for us 4 adults to relax & cook our evening meals after a full day of going.

My Favorite Spot in the Mountains

This was my 4th summer to stay at the Hideaway and as usual my party loved it. Our primary activity in Durango is to ride our mountainbikes and this location makes a great hub. The house is always clean and well stocked and each year it seems like more improvements are done, this year a new deck. Eddie is a great host, he always checks to make sure you're comfortable and if any issues arise he's just a text away. I plan to be back again next year!

Awesome Girl's Trip

We felt right at home at Byrket's Hideaway. We were on a girl's trip for the weekend in Durango and this location was great because it was out of the city but only 10 minutes away from town. The house was homey and comfortable. The kitchen was incredibly stocked with everything you could possibly think of. It was a great stay!

Peaceful place near the lake

This place is a hidden gem! Only five minutes from Lake Nighthorse, and about 15 minutes to historic downtown Durango. We spent most of our time at the lake, or playing cards on the porch at night under the stars. Eddie and Deborah made staying here feel like a home away from home! Wonderful property, wonderful hosts - would absolutely stay here again!

Colorado Thanksgiving

This house was perfect for the three of us. It was comfortable and had quick and easy travel to nearby shopping and attractions. It snowed a foot and it was great! We had never experienced fluffy, soft snow. It cut my shopping short, but Mother Nature had other plans. The owner was very responsive. I had requested a change and he was able to accommodate. It had a new deck installed, and it looked great. The grill was clean with a full tank of propane. Unfortunately, it was too cold for us to take advantage of this amenity. This place would definitely fit two families. I just happen to have a small one. We’ll keep this place in mind for a summer trip.
