Aug 24, 2024 #### Beautiful home but has mouse problem The house is nice, the deck is the best feature. Kitchen had everything I needed. The hot water smells a bit, and the water pressure is not very good both in the kitchen and showers, but it’s manageable. Unfortunately there was a dead mouse in the living room under the corner of the sectional couch that is unattached. The corner slides out constantly, making that portion of the couch unusable, and the floor was filthy under that corner. I had 2 small children with me and finding a dead mouse was not a good experience! Not getting a response from management company is unacceptable. ##### Jalayn M.

Oct 19, 2023 #### Lovely lodge We had a lovely 3-night visit with 3 adults and 2 children - plenty of space, just right. The bunk bed was very secure and cozy. The house was super clean all around, which was so appreciated. The house was fully stocked with anything we needed. There was some fun kids games. The deck faces west so we had a lovely warm afternoons as the sun set with a gorgeous view of the cliffs and the changing leaves. The neighborhood was super quiet and peaceful and it’s in a great location right between Molas Pass and Durango, with Needles Market nearby if you forgot something. Our only complaint was the downstairs full size bed wasn’t the most comfortable pretty and the sheets very scratchy, you may want to bring your own. Lots of cozy blankets to use. There is good reliable wifi but not super strong, in case you need to run multiple streaming devices. Thanks for everything, we had a wonderful time!! ##### Lindsey D.

Oct 2, 2021 #### Mountain home Home is accessed on a gravel road which is about a mile from highway. (Estimate) In the fall we had no trouble accessing house with Jeep or van. In inclement weather it would require 4WD as stated. House has large open living/kitchen/dining area with cozy, well working fireplace. Downstairs living area and bathroom is nicely decorated and quite comfortable, lower bathroom is accessed thru bedroom or hallway. Toilet odor mentioned in other reviews was supposedly fixed, however at times we detected a slight odor. We kept the door to separate toilet area closed into rest of bathroom. Toilet area also has window for fresh air. Odor was not an issue. No cold water in that bathroom sink isn’t an issue, just adjustment of handle solves that. Nice laundry area. Upstairs open loft/bedroom is nice and spacious, while not private to downstairs, the separate bathroom is nice. A/C is a help on warm days as sun comes into downstairs open area thru two story windows. Deck is large, and a great place for star gazing. Could be more usable outdoor furniture for renters. BBQ grill worked well. We, two “mature” couples, enjoyed this house, altho path to house would not be easily handicap accessible. Location was good for day trips into Durango, Ouray, Silverton, Telluride, 4 corners area etc. I would recommend this house for families or two couples. ##### Caryl B.

The house was really nice with the exception of a sewer smell coming from the downstairs bathroom. Maybe the wax seal needs to be replaced on the toilet. Whatever the cause, this needs to be addressed. The location gets a three due to the condition of the road in the winter. To be fair it is mentioned you need 4 wheel drive or chains and winter driving skills. No joke. The location otherwise is great. ##### David M.

Feb 8, 2021 #### Everything you need and so close to Purgatory! We stayed here for a full week. Four adults, three kids, and a dog, so we are a needy bunch! The cabin was big enough for everyone to have their own space, and the kitchen was incredibly well stocked. You can tell the people who own this have spent many years making sure all the basic necessities (and party necessities!) are ready for whoever comes here! The beds were comfy, the gas stove was a bonus, and the scenery/location was incredible. No highway noise, less than 10 minutes to purg even on an icy day. The deck seemed like it would be beautiful to hang out on in the summer. We will definitely be back! ##### Catherine B. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff H.

This rental is in the top 5 for our family. The nearby hiking is excellent - a wide range of options for every level of hiker. We did not ski but the skiing is 5 minutes away. The cabin was very comfortable for 5 adults and our dogs. It is well appointed - linens, kitchen and parking for 3 cars. Plenty of room for doing puzzles, watching movies and dining. The master bedroom loft with the master bath is clean and well decorated “Colorado cabin” style. The two bedrooms downstairs are well decorated as well. The road from the highway to the cabin is a dirt road, hilly and windy. When they say you need 4wd in the winter- they mean it. We have rented our own condo for several years on a different platform and had just a few little tweaks for the cabin. The first floor bathroom has a septic smell that needs to be addressed. We kept the door closed and kept the fan on and that took care of it most the time. At night when all the lights were on and there was cooking and the dishes washer was going, the electric circuit blew for the back bedrooms and the kitchen lights. Easy to turn back on at the circuit breaker but worth a look. The last tweak would be to have more room in the kitchen cabinets for renters to put food away. There is literally no room for groceries (that did not go in the refrigerator) and we had to put some on the counter. Just a little rearranging of the cabinets worked. Overall we had a fabulous time and we would highly recommend this property and will rent it again if we go back to the area. ##### Anne S.

Sep 28, 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Getaway We had a lovely time this week at Heaven's Gate. The cabin is in a very remote neighborhood 30 mins north of Durango which made it convenient for trips to Silverton and Ouray. A couple of things about this place that prevented me from providing it 5 stars. This property is not managed locally which causes a delay when and if you have an issue with the property. The code for the dumpster did not work. We didn't find this out until we had two bags of trash in our car that we were planning to dispose of on our way to Silveton. We called the management company in Salt Lake who couldn't help us and had to call the local site manager to call us back. We knew there would be a delay so we ended up taking the trash to the gas station down the road. The local management rep called us back 45 mins later and told us that there was an issue with the dumpster and that we should just find another place to dispose of it which we had already done. If he already knew that there was an issue, why didn't they reach out to there renters and notify us? It's a good thing we didn't wait until the morning or our departure to take out the trash! Regarding the cabin, it was FULL of flies when we arrived. I've actually never seen so many flies in one place in my life. We were killing flies the entire week of our stay. Also, the cold water in the main bathroom sink only works for a min or two. After that, it's all hot water so if you're not quick to brush your teeth, you'll need to use the kitchen sink like I did all week. Hopefully the owner can check on this as it seems like a small fix. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Heaven's Gate and would recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in a remote setting near Durango. ##### Kevin B.

Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amy S. Jul 21, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Location, scenery but take books and scented candles. Location is awesome; very close to Purgatory resort and convenient to hiking locations, as well as in between Durango and Silverton. Daytrips were fun and gorgeous. We were given the wrong code so check-in was rough. There was a burn ban and we had no idea even though we asked about wood for fire pit. The bathroom downstairs had a terrible odor which also lead into bedrooms downstairs. Internet is very slow. ##### Amy S.
