The reviews are spot on, house is clean, we enjoyed the game room over the garage, and the furniture is comfortable and well laid out. Wifi is quick, TV easy to use, and beds are comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked and appliances worked well. The parents of the kiddo really appreciated the washer and dryer (and the laundry soap provided). The hosts are very responsive, some of the best we have had over the years. ##### Elizabeth P. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mieko K.

The property does not include shower gel, soap or shampoo so we were caught off guard on that but otherwise everything is provided. The game room and basketball court were awesome to use as well! Loved the valley and mountain views, and seeing the sunrise each day. ##### Ron A. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin L.

Jul 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Outside Durango The owners were very communicative and friendly. Pros:-4 bedrooms-Lots of space for parking-Clean-Rooms were large-Grill-Large outdoor area for kids to play Cons:-Farther from downtown so if you want walking distance it’s not for you. However if you want more space and less people than this would be a pro. -Upstairs bathrooms only had a tub and no shower.-With the slanted roof you couldn’t stand up properly at the sink and in the tub-No AC was very warm upstairs -Only 1 TV in the main living space-If you’re older or have walking issues/disability the stairs to get into the place are extremely steep and some have a very large step up distance. -The place is definitely more rugged than the pictures show ##### Jean T.
