We also saw a coyote and some deer on the property. We’ll definitely be back in the future. ##### Wayne L. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn C.

The mountains surround this beautiful property, and the owners are just up the way, ready to help with whatever is needed. When we accidentally locked ourselves out, they were right there to help us. They had even baked a loaf of homemade banana bread that was waiting for us when we arrived! There were so many places you could sit outside to enjoy the views. We saw deer, chipmunks, a variety of birds, and rabbits around the property. We also took breathtaking photos of the surrounding mountains, and the valley below. The house had everything we needed and the atmosphere was picture perfect.

The views are incredible from the balcony, the out door dining table, or exploring the land. Bill and Bonnie were the ultimate hosts! We can’t wait to go come back.

My family had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We ended our week wishing that we had more time to stay, and intending to find our way back in the future.

Having two master suites with king beds was appreciated as well. The daytime views of the mountains, not to mention the nighttime show of stars, made it an unforgettable experience.

It is nestled above the valley with unobstructed views of the buttes. Campfires, horseshoes, trails to hike that open into wilderness areas. Bill was knowledgeable and gave us instructions to get to beautiful hikes that were close by. The 4 star for cleanliness was due to one of the bedrooms had not been dusted and had a thick layer of dust. Otherwise it was very clean. We definitely want to come back!!! ##### Anne W.

What can I say? Staying at this 75-acre estate was amazing and made our vacation in Durango even more memorable. The hosts are welcoming and are incredible people. We loved getting to know them. If you are like us and don't prefer to stay in the heart of touristy areas, you will love it. We saw deer, wild turkeys and heard so many birds chirping every morning. The views from every part of the property were AMAZING. We felt very safe and there was plenty of space to store our mountain bikes in the barn. The property is kept immaculate. The location is perfect and not very far from town. This was our home away from home. Definitely stay here! You will not regret it. ##### TL T.

Hosts were very responsive and the house was just what we were looking for. Great location. It is close enough to the city for quick trips and also secluded enough to feel like you’ve got a whole mountain to yourself. ![View from balcony](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4f19bd22-e547-4dce-b7c4-29dfe853c954-1751203014762.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### William F.

Comfortable and charmingly appointed. Lovely owners. ##### Bill C. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad M. Aug 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing views and a great stay The photos do not do this house justice. The drive up from the valley to the home lets you know you are in for a treat. The views from the home across the valleys are amazing and the hosts were great. The proximity to Durango was perfect. Close enough to get into town in 10 minutes, but far enough away so you just hear the crickets at night. ##### Brad M. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark P. May 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful mountain home Great house! Feels like home which is very different than many of the houses we stay in. So many are just corporate rental properties that provide the basics. Owners are very involved with making your stay memorable. Would definatly return if we are in the area again. ##### Mark P.
