Beautiful Durango House on the 203
The house is spacious & lovely with luscious views of the mountains and trees surrounding the pond. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you might need. Having a second fridge in the downstairs was nice. We weren’t so far from Durango proper that we couldn’t easily dine out if we wanted. The bathrooms were large, clean and had plenty of towels. The beds were comfortable (always a concern) and had nice linens. Our trip was the first week of June and it was really warm for so early so thank goodness there were plenty of fans. The downstairs was easily 10 degrees cooler. The kids enjoyed playing video games downstairs. We enjoyed the outside spaces as well, roasting s’mores on more than one night. All that said, there’s a few things that could have been better: the listing says the 2 up bedrooms have AC but they are room units with no instructions how to set them up. I googled the brand but they aren’t designed for crank windows. Also, it would have been nice to have a heads up for workmen coming to the house. We had a repairman show up to fix a board on the deck, which, without doubt needed repairing. The whole deck is weather worn and in need of maintenance. The fenced yard in front of the house badly needed mowing. 2 days later a mowing crew shows up, again with no notice, and proceeded to sling mud, gravel and grass on our Jeep while mowing! And no apology for doing so. Road noise is a bit of an issue but the views make up for it. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Memorable Christmas
Could not have asked for a better location and property to spend Christmas with our adult children and their families. The home was immaculately clean, spacious, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the split floor design featuring family areas on both levels. This allowed the more energetic crowd to play pool or ping pong downstairs while the less energetic crowd (i.e. me) to nap on the sofa before a roaring fire upstairs. We made extensive use of the kitchen and found everything we needed to prepare and serve meals for a group of nine. Just an overall outstanding accomodation!

Excellent, cozy home!
This house was cozy with beautiful views from the big windows. Fireplaces were stocked with wood, so we could enjoy them right away. The kitchen had plenty of items to cook with. The beds were sooo comfy with the memory foam toppers. I appreciated the room with the bunk beds as that worked perfect for my kids that weren’t quite old enough to sleep on their own in a new place. I liked the open design for gathering with everyone but also the option of separation of upstairs and downstairs. The house overall was gorgeous, clean, spacious, and had what we needed to enjoy our vacation!

Great Location w/Lots of Space
We did a getaway Thanksgiving in Durango this year and the property was generally good for our group. Seems like it’s just recently been converted to a vacation rental as it lacks some of the staples and basics (cleaning supplies, etc) that we’ve typically seen.
We had some trouble regulating the temperature between floors with the frigid cold outside, but that could just be simple user error. The location is close to town, offers great views of the canyon and the train every morning. The property is large and the fenced yard for the pups was welcome. The bonus room in the basement was a hit with the kids for sure!
Overall we really enjoyed our stay.. a few kinks to work out but solid!

Beautiful property
Property was beautiful. Had an amazing time and would definitely stay again. Would only suggest having some basic items like larger bottles of hand soap, basic spices for cooking, and disinfecting sprays to clean up after meals. Other than that, would definitely stay again!
