Home was very well-equipped with just about anything you would need for cooking. Appliances were updated and in relatively good condition. There was a leak in the kitchen faucet where the filter system attached. The issue was addressed immediately by installing a new system because the part to fix it was unavailable. However the leak increased after the new installation. This was taken care of promptly. There were a couple of other issues which had to be remedied after we left due to extensive time commitment to fix.Overall the property was great, especially if you have older children. The kids bedroom was downstairs so it was a bit more difficult for a toddler to be on a different level than the parents and grandparents. The queen bedroom is tiny, so keep that in mind if you need room to move around. There's an abundance of room in the master suite area though.We opted to rent the garage apartment as well even though we didn't need it in order to keep the property private for our family. That's a drawback as I see it.Our hosts were readily available via text and made the issues inconsequential.The views from the balconies are fabulous and the whole area is quiet and serene. The living area, kitchen, and eating areas were spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Great Location but
Location was wonderful but property was disappointing in some ways. No blinds so you are awake at the break of dawn. Utensils and plates were not as listed for sleeping. Otherwise a nice place.

Family Vacation
We booked this trip for our youngest 21st birthday. The home was as described and as pictured in the listing.
The views are breathtaking. So much so that our oldest proposed on the property.
Property was clean and had all the amenities. Very quiet and peaceful!

House and views were beautiful just make sure to not leave any fingerprints or you’ll be charged.
The views are beautiful and the house was nice, our only downfall was we didn’t have enough water for our 5 day stay, so they had to get some hauled out to us. Make sure to bring a mop to mop up any spills, or else they will charge extra cleaning fee for uncleaned floors, also don’t take out to much trash bc that will be included in the cleaning fee. Can’t throw up outside either(due to elevation) bc that will be included since it will show up in snow. Can’t wipe snow and mud off on one of their towels as well to prevent from getting the floors dirty, so be sure to take doormats to wipe feet off after coming in from outside.

Family gathering
We met in Durango to celebrate our son's wedding (which took place on top of Uncompahgre in Aug). We had a get-together with family and friends, and utilized the wonderful outdoor spaces at the house. There are several wonderful seating areas, but our favorite was the fire pit with bench seating (for making s'mores), and the lookout deck for drinking coffee in the mornings. The house is about 20 mins outside Durango, so running to the store is not quick. But, the quiet neighborhood and beautiful scenery made up for that 10x. Highly recommend this beautiful house and guesthouse.

Amazing Home for Family Gathering!
This property was spacious and accommodating for our large group of 11 adults and 2 dogs. The pictures don’t show how large the living space is. The views from the home were spectacular and the property had ample outdoor space to play games and just enjoy. All activities we participated in were nearby and accessible. I would recommend this property to anyone.

We enjoyed our stay. The main house was beautiful and great. The loft apartment over the guest house needed some help but we made it work.
