Wonderful weekend stay!

We had the best time staying here! It comfortably fit 10 adults (and we had a great time sharing the “kids” room, offered plenty of room for gathering together, and overall was a great home base for a long weekend :)

Adorable home perfect for our stay

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Red House. Had everything we needed. The fenced yard was perfect for our little old blind dog. This would be a great house for those with kids. Had a great playroom area upstairs. Would definitely stay here again!

Fam vacation house

We stayed at The Red House for a week and throughly enjoyed all the amenities. Close to Durango, fishing locations & drove out to Mesa Verde too. So much to experience in just a short drive. Enjoyed having privacy of a more rural location too.

Trip to Durango

Very nice location for our group. Had a couple of nice dinners using the grill, but it was a little chilly to eat outside. Trip was too short as there are so many things to do and see in SW Colorado.

wonderful getaway

we spent 4 nights at Red House Durango and loved it! The house was roomy, well equipped and located nicely outside Durango. Easy to explore Durango, Animas River and Mesa Verde National Park. There is an irrigation river near the house so we were lulled to sleep by the babbling water!

Home away from Home

My family and i came over for a destination wedding. This home was a great place to relax, and enjoy peace and quiet. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the charming little towns more. The most wonderful part for my hisband and I was hearing the stream run as we laid down to sleep.

Beautiful home

This is why of our favorite home we stayed, we sold our home and are traveling so we have seen many. Secluded enough but quick drive to Durango roughly 15 min depending on traffic. Fenced in yard, big bonus. Nice big room upstairs for the kids to enjoy. Highly recommended!

Great place to stay!

The Red House was perfect for our week in Durango. We were joined by friends later in the week, and the guys took part in the Iron Horse bike ride while the girls shopped and visited a coffee shop downtown. This is our 5th year to come to Durango for the bike ride, and this has been our favorite place to stay. It’s far enough out to feel private (we’ve stayed in a condo too), but easy to access. The house has enough space for two couples or two families to have their own areas, and also has a pleasant kitchen and living room for time together. Lauren was quick to answer questions as well. We will definitely look to stay at the Red House again.

Location and yard were perfect

Great place to spend a week exploring Durango and all the attractions. We have two dogs that are used to having a fenced in backyard and this place was perfect. The dogs could spend time outside without having to be on a long leash/lead. Side road was not too far away, so it was great for morning walks... though there are some neighbors with dogs so earlier in the morning the better. Overall house was great, exactly what was advertised and perfect. No issues with anything. Would definitely stay again and again.

The red house

Ok property, kinda close to the 234 county road, thought it would set back further from the road. Heating system was loud , main floor was cold while second floor hot. Beds were comfortable while main and upstairs living areas could use additional seating. Kitchen was good some stove burns on the right didn’t work, refrigerator was excellent , Could use a set pots but rest of dishes were great.

Beautifully perfect!

From beginning to end, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the red house! The interior is so cozy, happy and inviting💕 The decor is farmhouse (my favorite) and I loved all the happy animal paintings throughout the home! The house was well stocked with everything you may need! And the back yard was a great place to kick back and enjoy a glass of wine while you greet the turkeys during their evening stroll. The location is great- close to all, but far enough to feel secluded and peaceful. Durango is an amazing town with so much to do! We spent a week and it still was nowhere near enough time! Thank you for the use of your beautiful home! If you ever get the urge to decorate, come to my house!😊
