Located within a 5-minute walk of Animas River, this vacation home is within 2 miles (3 km) of Durango Hot Springs Spa. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a fireplace, and a balcony.
Willow's Ranch of Durango : Your private 4-acre luxury winter wonderland in the stunning Animas Valley. FLAT DRIVEWAY means NO NEED for a 4x4. Watch the Polar Express from the front porch. Experience Red Cliff views, a private pond, and a chef's kitchen. Relax by the fireplace or in the spa-like primary suite. Enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi and an outdoor fire pit. Just 10 min to downtown, hot springs, & 20 min to Purgatory Ski Resort. Perfect for an unforgettable snowy Colorado escape!
We have regular snow plowing for the driveway, they come when there is 3-4inches of snow or more. They plow in the mornings with an approximate time window of 8-11am. Because this may be after check-out, please be prepared for the possibility of a snowy driveway! Luckily, our driveway is very flat, but good all-weather tires and at least All Wheel Drive are recommended in the winter months. The plow will do its best around any vehicles in the parking area.
For larger storms, we will schedule someone to shovel the walkway and stairs or help with ice buildup on the roofline. Please be very cautious on a slippery walkway and stairs! There will always be a snow shovel available at the home, for your convenience.
Please do your best to only bring dry ski and snowboard equipment inside, or mitigate any water dripping onto the wooden floors, baseboards, or carpets, as this can cause damage.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an ironing board.

We had the best time at this property. It is beautiful, spacious, spotless, and inviting. Everything you could possibly want or need for your stay is provided by your amazing hosts. Check in was a breeze- very clear instructions were provided and we were even allowed early check in. If you're staying in Durango, rent this house- you'll be elated.

We booked this property to spend time with our family from New Mexico and it was the perfect location. There was enough space for everyone to have privacy (that was super important) and it was big enough to host family dinners. The beds were super comfortable, the bathrooms had plenty of towels and the laundry room and kitchen were all well stocked. We did have an issue with the lock (it was our error) and Lily was kind enough to come over right away to help us get in. Another bonus was how close this home is to downtown Durango. We will absolutely stay here again.
