Our grandkids loved the bunk beds and our kids loved the fly fishing. We all loved the gas fire pit and being right on the river. I appreciated the short drive to Walmart to provision, too. Town is a quick 10 minutes away. Guest should be prepared for the very steep stairs between levels-especially the stairs into the basement. Would be good if there were some kind of gate installed at the top before someone has a serious fall. Also there are no outside accessible bear-proof trash cans. It was a great place for a weekend family getaway. ##### Margaret L. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard C.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We met some friends in Durango for a little ski-cation and this cabin was perfect for our getaway. Two families fit nicely in the space, and the fact that it's pet friendly made it even better so the puppies could come along. The outdoor space was fantastic for getting outside, especially with the dogs. We enjoyed the fire pit and walking along the river. The location is close to everything, yet tucked away so you feel like you are miles from civilization. Kitchen was decently stocked so we could prepare meals easily, but be sure to bring your water bottles because there was only one glass to be found in the cupboard.Very nice place! ##### Kate C. ### 8/10 Good #### Brian C., Metro St Louis Jul 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location The location at the edge of town and on the river is unbeatable. The back porch and outdoor firepit are wonderful spots. We found the lack of some kitchen supplies a little surprising, but not major.

I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pass on this property. It was infested with mice, so gross. Stairs so unsafe, extremely narrow, difficult to use. Lower level was not even a finished space, floors were concrete, no carpet only a rug. House seemed piecemeal, not finished. Common area extreme small for our group of 5. Could not get cable nor wifi to work. No manual to answer questions. Called VRC immediately when we found mice, Republicans said he would get someone out the next day to address the issue. When I informed him we were leaving immediately and said it was VRCs responsibility to move us to a new house, he said again someone would be out the next day. I repeated my request and he changed his tone, found us a lovely townhouse to move to, all was good. Very disappointed I had to press the issue for VRC to take responsibility. ##### Donna K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marian B. Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Truly splendid We arrived to a clean welcoming rustic home. Exactly what I had hope for and so much more. Came to Durango for a wedding but wanted to enjoy the beauty of Colorado and this did not disappoint. My son and three children loved having the entire downstairs as a separate space. The kitchen was so wonderful everything we wanted and more. Having a Walmart just down the street made getting anything we needed a breeze. Downtown was a short drive and Uber was available for a cheap quick ride. The magnificent outside was nature at its best. Abundant wildlife. Amazing fishing at your doorstep. Before touring the home and brining in our luggage we went straight to the hammocks by the river. Caretakers responded to all request immediately. The best time was wonderful!!!!! ##### Marian B.

Oct 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Good overall, but could be better Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this rustic cabin. The location by the river is just stunning! The cabin is cute inside and was spacious enough for our family of 6. Our stay could've been better though. My kids were SO excited to use the fire pit, but upon arriving we found that it did not work. Also about half the lamps inside do not work. There was no remote to the downstairs TV so it was unusable. There also wasn't any dish soap or sponges so I had to go to the store to buy my own (something I don't like to do when I'm on a relaxing vacation). We also spotted a few mice down by the bunkbeds. It was nothing major and I did feel that overall the good outweighed the bad, but there are definitely things that were overlooked that could've made the stay that much better. ##### Kari K.

Instructed to run dishwasher. No dishwasher. Chipped dishes. You did catch a mouse which we disposed of. Inadequate cooling unit spitting water when we arrived. Property definitely not up to code. Best thing was location on the river and near town. ##### Lyn M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Velma Z. Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Rustic feel with great potential. We had an overall pleasant stay. The photos online were well-staged to portray the cabin in its best light; in reality it was underwhelming. The 2 full beds were nice but the 2 sets of bunk bed mattresses should be replaced. The stove only had two working burners which impeded cooking. As a whole the cooking/kitchenware is pretty rough and worn so plan to bring your own if intend to prepare meals in. The setting is not rural so if you’re expecting a cabin in the woods this is not the one. With a small investment and a good scrub this cabin could be a gem. Fire pit and river access are top notch. Would have been a plus if the cooling system been turned on before our check-in time so the cabin could have been cool when we arrived. ##### Velma Z.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon entering the house there was a noticeable off putting order. Come to find out there are mouse dropping all over. I cleaned the areas multiple times over the week we stayed. Every night, there was more. The AC in this house was not working at the end of June. Not a big deal, however it made it impossible to feel comfortable in the house. When we arrived a gentleman said the AC was broke and someone would be by to fix it. We saw no one in the 6 days we were there. The stairs to the main bedroom are at a 90 degree angle making it impossible to go up and down. No green grass in sight. The selling point to this property is the location to town, overall I would not rent again. ##### Maggie S.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property seemed to be ideal on paper, but wasn’t. If you have any physical disability or very small children, do not stay here. All bedrooms require going up or down some sketchy stairs. We worried about our elderly dog as well. The promised child gate never came. This cabin has only one fairly useless A/C unit, so it gets hot when Durango temperatures are in the 90’s. We brought fans with us thank goodness. Get ready for spiders on the bottom floor. They showed up in tub and near back door almost every day. This property needs an overhaul. Please throw away the “pink”cushions! No one will sit on those.On the plus side, close to River, but couldn’t use the fire pit because of fire restrictions. Also, very close to shopping and restaurants. Five minutes to downtown. ##### Donna W. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Ashlin R. Dec 13, 2023 #### Winter Stay Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is in the perfect location! Close to downtown, 2 minutes from Home Depot and Walmart. Being right on the animas river was so relaxing and peaceful. We loved the location but we’re a little disappointed with the description of the house versus what it actually was. I specifically searched for 3 bedrooms because 3 families with kids and dogs were coming. We all needed separate bedrooms, but one of the ‘bedrooms’ does not have a door and you have to pass through it to go to another bedroom. It’s right when you go into the basement with an open staircase so noise leaks in from the living room and kitchen. This was very frustrating seeing as we had young children who we wanted to put to sleep earlier and then adults hang out in the shared spaces but had to be extremely quiet because of the lack of a 3rd bedroom. I’d really hope that they change their description of the house or enclose that bedroom somehow. Was also a little disappointed with all the rat poop and mouse traps everywhere - thankfully we didn’t see one but it just felt a little gross. Was also disappointed that the outside gas firepit was broken - that was another big sell of this house to us. But regardless of that, we spent most of our time outside in the yard, which is beautiful. The house could just use a TLC. Property management company was extremely helpful and responsive! Tried sending out a tech to fix the firepit but we were leaving the next day. ##### Ashlin R. ### 8/10 Good #### Luis S. Dec 23, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cabin by the river. The cabin location was good, and the heads up on 4x4/awd was great, as it was muddy when i went and a 2 whd would have not made it up the steep hill. The cabin: at face value it gives woodsy cabin vibes. Along with that are some cons Cons: mousetraps.. my children found them. Glad they knew better not to touch. But a smaller child might have grabbed the one behind the fire place. Mouse droppings. These were found in the lower shower and at all the the window sills. Bugs. Elderbugs galore. I lost cound at how many we killed. The stove that was there, had one burner that was not functional. A lamp in the bunk bed room was not functional, and was structurally not sound. One of the bunkbeds was two twin beds with makeshift brackets holding them together, which was a bit nerve wrecking, as some ove them were loose. Some dishes were not clean to start. The house seemed to have lots of cracks. Maybe where bugs and mice get in? Pros. Heating was good. There was plenty of hot water. There was a good coffee pot. Plenty of beds. The outside was awesome, next to the river. (Cant beat that!) Replacement of some pans would be cool. We arent chefs by any means, but the pans have seen better days. Property management: I called them a few times, and they were great. The were most courteous and informative. They did advise that there was intent on replacing the range/stove. I, we, cannot say enough about the location. We loved being by the river. Overall, it was a good visit/stay. ##### Luis S. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### t b. Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Gathering The location on the river was really, really great. The proximity to town and river trail great. The bathrooms were clean and the sheets were brand new but had not been washed. We did see a couple of mice and lots of mouse droppings. Around the house could have used a blower and a little clean up as I picked up cigarette butts. But overall, it worked great for us. Spent a lot of time on porch visiting friends and family. We were in town for a memorial gathering. Thanks ##### t b. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sandra M. Jan 24, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Very overpriced!

Nov 16, 2024 #### Durango cabin Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have visited Durango for a week plus twice in the last 3 years. It is a wonderful place to relax, hike and explore. The cabin on the river is great. It is on the rustic side, but very comfortable. This year was our second time to rent it! We love just sitting by the outdoor fireplace in the afternoon and listening to the river. A big plus is that it is so close to town! ##### Larry H.
