The home was very well appointed to be able to be comfortable . We had 4 adults and 3 kids and there was plenty of room to be comfortable and space for the kids to play and do crafts . The kitchen has everything to need to cook meals and even some extras like a George Forman grill Bed in the master was super comfortable and the sheets were nice and soft, pillows were very comfortable as well . Over all great BNB !

Good Accommodations Near Durango
Barndominium provided a quite and scenic location, tastefully appointed decor, comfortable sleeping accommodations, and basic necessary amenities.However, as a guest, I have reasonable expectations of clean towels and feel justified in taking exception with the condition of those which we were presented with. Several of the bath/body and hand towels were dingy in appearance, emitted a slight musty odor, and had hairs on/woven within the fibers.While this may have been a laundry oversight, it was disconcerting, nonetheless, and did not make for an all-around pleasant stay experience. In addition to the towel issue, there was a low supply of toilet paper provided. We did have enough for our stay, but it caused an uneasy thought of running out. We were staying on business and did not have the time to reach out during our stay. Although, had we done so, I feel confident that our issues would have been resolved accordingly.

Spacious & Comfortable
The home is spacious. The six of us were quite comfortable. We did not feel cramped at all. The bunk room was perfect for three kids. The master bed was so comfortable my husband wanted to bring it home.Laundry was great!We could only get You-Tube on any of the TV's. The DVD player in the bunk room did NOT work. The fireplace did not work.This isn't in the listing description:Though the home is in the middle of a forest you are NOT permitted to go for a walk. You are restricted to the property boundary which is very limited.

Phone service, beds
First off, it was a peaceful place. The Russian sage brought in the hummingbirds, and we seen lizards and deer, which was amazing! Cleanliness, was not up to my standards! We found crumbs and trash underneath chairs drawers. Inside drawers were filthy. My bathtub downstairs was dirty had hair in it!!! bedrooms… the downstairs bedroom was fine, except for the bed was so uncomfortable. I wound up, sleeping in the recliner in the living room, and there was no TV in that bedroom, the upstairs bedrooms with the king. Bed was the same way as far as the bad being so uncomfortable, you couldn’t sleep my sister wound up, going to the bedroom with the bunkbeds and slept in there, which was a little better, the coffee pot was filthy underneath. The sink was filthy. The trashcan was very dirty, I spilled water on the floor and a paper towel. Wipe it up with, and it came back. The floors were mopped and cleaned. The description of the property was not fully disclosed about the phone service and Internet service ! And that we really couldn’t go for a walk because the property is deadlocked to other peoples property and it was made perfectly clear by directions in the house that we could not step past that property line. Location was I have to say I give it a three star , because the beds were so uncomfortable we couldn’t sleep in them and the phone service was horrible and the cleanliness was not good to my standards.

Spent 5 days in Durango with our two grand daughters at the Barndominion! What a wonderful experience! The home was clean, kitchen well stocked, but the best part of our stay was the location and all the wildlife that came to visit while we were there. We will definitely plan to book here again. Checkin was easy and experience was wonderful!

Off the beaten path and nestled in the woods
We were very pleased with this home! This spaceous house was perfect for us. Beds were comfortable. Three bathrooms was what we needed. Home was clean. Gas fireplace we did use and it came on easily. Daily the wild turkeys and mule deer greeted us at sunrise in the backyard or access road or both. Hummingbirds frequented the porch flowers. Great kitchen design for 4 adults working simultaneously at breakfast time. The master bath on the first floor had a feature I really liked, separate water closet from the sink & shower areas and it all was tucked behind a sliding barn door. We kept the heat off and opened the bedroom windows at night. Perfect sleeping for the beautiful down comforters. Last 3/4 mile of access road leading up to the house is unpaved gravel but in exceptionally good condition.

The place was nice but there was no AC. Interior temp was regularly around 84 degrees. A couple cheap box fans were provided but made little difference. Nowhere to go on walks near the house since private property is 15 feet away. The place was very clean and the inside was wonderful. About a 15 minute drive to downtown.

We had a wonderful time in Durango. The location is perfect and glad we had 4 wheel drive to access the snow covered road leading up to the property. It is secluded and the drive to it looks like a winter wonderland . The barndo was cozy but had plenty of room. The only thing missing is a hot tub.

Beautiful location in the forest.
The house was located on a beautiful forest. A few issues that we found once we arrived we were limited to the property and was not allowed to explore. The neighboring property which was just 15 feet behind the house was off limits. The other issue was we were not allowed to have a few guest over for a visit. We were told that we were limited to the number of guest registered to stay. I felt that this information should have been divulged as part of the description.
