Magic in Durango
Our group of eight was celebrating our son's 50th birthday - Polar Express. skiing and great restaurants in Durango. The host, Dennis, right after the booking, gave us great ideas about restaurants and things to do. Excellent communication continued up to the trip and during our stay. The house was perfect - location and appointments, beautiful views of the valley. I especially enjoyed the train passing below with steam rising through the trees. Dennis communicated proactively, checking on our needs and reminding us of amenities we may have overlooked or forgotten about. Due the cold weather we did not use the hot tub or the patio. This is a fantastic house in a superb location with an excellent host; we will be back, maybe for a month in the summer of 2027.

Fantastic Stay with Breathtaking Mountain Views!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely house, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The location is absolutely perfect—just a short distance from town, making it convenient for exploring local attractions and dining options. The house offers stunning views of the mountains, creating a picturesque backdrop that truly enhances the experience. The host was incredibly responsive, ensuring that all my questions were answered promptly and making the check-in process seamless. The only small issue I encountered was that, for a house of this caliber, I would have expected it to include essentials like soap, shampoo. Despite this minor oversight, I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway!

Beautiful Spacious Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great home. It is just north of Durango in a peaceful neighborhood. Great views of the mountains and the train comes very near three times a day, which is a bonus to hear the train whistles. I have zero complaints about this home. Dennis is an amazing host who communicates quickly with any questions. I really appreciate his warm hospitality. We will be back on our next visit to Durango!

Delightful Get-away
Celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with our sons and a niece. The men fished with Cutbank Outfitters and had their best day ever. The rest of us visited Mesa Verde and were awed. The home was perfect!! The location could not have been better and the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Durango is a fun town to visit. Dennis was most helpful and his home was perfect for us.

Beautiful location!
This beautiful house was perfect for our first family trip to Durango. Very clean, comfortable and the close access to downtown was a big plus! The kitchen has a breathtaking view as well as being very well stocked. We were easily able to make family meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms worked great for our family of 7 and were very comfortable. We enjoyed the deck with its beautiful view and hearing the famous train pass by was fun for all of us. Everyone had fun searching for lizards among the rocks, birdwatching, and seeing the chipmunks. After a day of hiking and exploring, the hot tub was popular. Our next trip to Durango will definitely include staying in this home again! We appreciate the fantastic communication with the owner about our stay in the house and about the area. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Fantastic vacation, fantastic property!

Great host and accommodations!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home with a spectacular view. The house was very clean, fully stocked and spacious. The host was great to work with. He called us, several times during the week, to make sure we were taken care of. He even went out of his way to decorate for Christmas, since we had a child with us. We highly recommend this house and host to anyone staying in Durango!

Didn't want to leave
This house was so comfortable. Dennis was in constant communication and answered all of our questions and anticipated what his guests would need. The views from the deck and kitchen windows are amazing. We managed to get a prime week of fall color and had many fabulous adventures in the area. The deck gets fabulous morning sun and it was hard to get moving after breakfast because we were so comfortable. A great family vacation home. Thank you Dennis!

Beautiful and Relaxing Home
This home is beautiful, relaxing and the view is stunning! It is just a few minutes from downtown Durango so it was super convenient for everything we had planned. Dennis was a perfect host and made sure our stay went smoothly. Many listings show pictures of beautiful houses that are disappointing when you see them in person, but not this one! This home is every bit as beautiful in person as the pictures, if not more!

Animas Valley Beauty
The location of this home is not only convenient to downtown Durango, it is nestled on the cliffs of the Animas Valley with breathtaking views which made us feel as though we were more remote. The dark night sky was incredible with the full Milkyway overhead viewed from the deck or hot tub. We were in town for our daughter's wedding sharing the home with my sister and her family - like a mini family reunion. The open kitchen, dining and living room, and spacious deck made it comfortable and convenient to hang out together and enjoy meaningful conversations and lots of good laughs. The dining room table accommodated all 7 of us plus my daughter and her fiance allowing us to make new family memories. We stayed during the hottest days of July making it a bit warm in the late afternoon, even with AC running, but as soon as the sun went down, the temps dropped and we enjoyed the cooling breeze on the deck watching the sun's glow reflect on the red rocks across the valley - spectacular! Dennis was extremely prompt and forth coming with communication. We had one challenge with the dishwasher and he immediately replaced it for us! Exemplary hosting! We enjoyed hiking and bike riding in the area and swimming at Lake Nighthorse and in the Animas River and of course shopping down town. It was the perfect location and home for us to enjoy the week-long wedding festivities. Highly recommend it!
