This place is amazing! We were so impressed by how nice and big the cabin was. It having air conditioning was a huge perk in the summer, and the views are amazing with the river right there. There is plenty of nice furniture outside to relax and enjoy the river (our experienced fisherman even caught some trout right outside)! There are two bed rooms downstairs and a loft upstairs, it had plenty of room for our family of 8 (and plenty of bathrooms, which is a miracle for our family). One tip is that if you are someone who likes to sleep in, bring a sleep mask because there are no curtains, which we enjoyed so we could always see the amazing view out of the big windows! Thank you for a great stay, we hope to be back one day!

Family trip

House was perfect for family vacation. House provided us with a great place to relax after days at Purgatory and site seeing around town. Home was as advertised and provided us with a rare opportunity for generations to make memories and enjoy time together. Will definitely consider staying here again during summer to enjoy the other great opportunities the property offers outside.

Enjoyed the escape from Texas heat

We had a great time in this beautiful cabin. Enjoyed hearing the river sounds steps from the back deck. Home was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals. Cabin was within about 20 minutes from downtown Durango. We enjoyed family time with daughter, son in law and the grandkids.

Perfect Cabin

Honestly the pictures on line don't do it justice. The place and location are stunning. The river is literally right out back and the view out every window is incredible! There is even a sliding door in the Master Bath that goes out to the back deck that I would open every morning while getting ready and listen to the water and nature all around. Not far from city limits of Durango!

Impecable!

This property was wonderful for Thanksgiving with friends. Beautiful location near the river and among the trees. While there are other properties nearby, it faced the river and seemed very secluded. Sunshine on the first day and snow two days later. Thanks to the owners we did not have to shovel ourselves out from 11”! Incredibly well equipped from linens to kitchen equipment to outside seating. One of the best equipped kitchens I have experienced with VRBO and one of the most clean properties upon check in. The owners were responsive before and during our stay. Made for a perfect visit.
