Durango Mountain stay

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay at this Durango Mountain retreat. The drive is what you'd expect on unpaved mountain road, so don't be discouraged. When you finally pull up to the house and go inside you will be delighted. It is just a short distance into town and to the narrow gauge railroad. Sitting on the deck overlooking the valley is wonderful in the mornings and evenings. I love listening to the turkeys on the next ridge gobbling. The mule deer are common. The interior is modern and magnificent. There is nothing about this stay we did not love. Thank you.

Enjoyed natures beauty and the quiet!

Our family of 6 adults, (all in our 70s) enjoyed our stay. There are stairs inside to 3 bedrooms with a bedroom on the main floor. Having a bathroom on each floor by bedrooms was a PLUS!! The kitchen had all we needed and well stocked. We all especially enjoyed the decks with the amazing views.

Great view but with issues

The property location and view is fantastic. The upgrades to the upstairs area is mostly good with two major issues. Very private with fantastic views and very private property and great grounds. The house was well equipped and very clean. However, I had several issues. 1. The internet did not work at all the entire 5 nights. And the tvs are all internet only so no internet meant no tv channels. 2. The trash outside was full on arrival and was never picked up any of the 5 days there. 3. The description says central AC. This is not accurate. The house only has a split unit AC for the living / open kitchen area. No AC for any rooms including the master where it can get very hot. 4. Major issue with the main floor bathroom where the glass in the shower just fell out when the bottom wall connector failed. This could have seriously injuries someone as the glass is very heavy. 5. The down stairs which includes two of the bedrooms as not been redone and the bathroom for that area is very small Otherwise nice house. Great deck and well equipped.

Breathtaking!!

I rent a lot of nice properties and this one was no exception!!! The house is clean, new and lovely!! Had basic supplies, laundry soap, dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. There were trash bags in the trash cans, plus basic seasonings possibly left by others, as well as coffee filters and coffee. The deck views are breathtaking, nice area to hike in the woods and are close to town with great restaurants and shops. Id come again:)

Great stay in Durango!

We stayed in Durango at Mountain Retreat for a get together of long time friends and our families traveling from several different states. The house is spacious and nicely decorated and the view is absolutely amazing. It’s only about 25 minutes to downtown. When we arrived one of the twin beds did not have linens and it took several phone calls over 24 hours to get the linens delivered to us which was inconvenient. However the property manager also brought us extra fans because it was quite warm so we really appreciated that. The only other issue we had is that the railing for upstairs poses a safety issue- the railing posts are placed extremely wide apart and I’m sure can’t be up to code. I wasn’t comfortable with my toddler going upstairs because he could have easily fallen through so we had to reshuffle the sleeping arrangements. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay and would consider returning!

Be aware......

We have stayed at numerous vrbos and this ranked among the worst. There were 10 of us in the group and we were told this home would work for a group our size. They do not have 3 twin beds as stated, and only 2 full baths, and the other bath is 3/4. They did not have any trash bags, 1 dishwasher pod, 6 towels, no extra linens, no extra toilet paper or paper towels, no remote for the tv and the trash 'shed' had not been emptied in weeks. The 'shed' was filled with bags of trash and the stench was awful. The fridge froze our produce. We also closed one of the bedroom doors, only to find out it was a keyed door and it locked. We called Vacasa and they simply said sorry, we can't do anything until 9:00 the next morning. We were locked out of 2 bedrooms that had our belongings. We were able to get in through a window after an hour of trying to see if Vacasa would help. Lastly and most important, the fire alarm started beeping, so we opened it up. The batteries were dated 2020. This is a major safety concern. We have since contacted Vacasa and the local property manager has not returned any communication.
