Great location, not far from Durango and not far from Silverton…the first night there we saw a black bear! Unfortunately we had to leave early due to some unforeseen circumstances back home. Would love to stay there again!

Perfect getaway
Hermosa hideaway VRBO right outside of Durango but close enough to head into town or go to the Durango, Hot Springs or head to Silverton. You’re very close to Purgatory ski resort with lots of restaurants in golf course as well. The home was well maintained and had everything we needed. It’s beautifully decorated and comfortable. I’ve stayed here twice! Highly recommend.
