This home allowed us the perfect opportunity to relax & unwind. It's a bit off the beaten path, but the respite of quiet surroundings was a welcome change.
The house is gorgeous, clean and well-supplied
The property was exactly as descibed and even better. We had a 4 and 6 year old in our group and they loved exploring the yard. There was so much space in the house. Thank you for making our weekend so relaxing. We loved it.
I will start with the fence for the dogs since it is rare to find fenced properties in the area. It met the requirements to keep my elder dogs inside the massive yard they have. Other details include the massive space you get with the house inside. This was definatley a great spot to stay away from the city but close enough to be able to order food delivery.
Nice and spacious. Three good size bathrooms for each bedroom area. Huge kitchen. We actually saw deer in the yard a couple of times! Heating system is good. Water gets hot pretty quickly. If you are not used to driving on snow and ice, you may want to pass on this property. The drive is very winding and hilly. Luckily, it was mostly gone from the roads for us. We really enjoyed this house!
Beautiful home as advertised. Home is very spacious and of course the hottub is a plus. There is everything you need if you just want to chill out at the hose for days. The only advise/suggestion I would give the owner of the home is to make sure that the fllors are always swept after every visitor departs and that here are tv(s) in the bedrooms. All in all we enjoyed our stay in this home. I would truly recommend anyone who is visiting Durango, CO and is looking at staying at a hotel to instead stay in this beautiful home.-Charles M.
Lovely home in beautiful setting. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend for any family wanting to stay in Durango area. Home is fairly close to Durango and after a day of shopping, taking a train ride or sightseeing, it’s a wonderful place to return to and relax!
This is a gorgeous property. Everything was to the highest standard and situated in a park-like setting. So peaceful and relaxing. We are most grateful.
Great location for our girls trip. Great location (in the mountains) and plenty of room to spread out. Very nice bedrooms and bathrooms and a great kitchen
Rick did an amazing job with this house from the space, cooking supplies, everything we needed he had and more. We had 8 adults and 1 infant. There’s more than enough room for more. My husband and I stayed upstairs which made it feel as if we had our own home since it was so private with a beautiful balcony where we watched the sunrise from. The deer came on the property the last morning we were there, it was a nice farewell before we headed home. I hope we get the opportunity to stay at Rick’s again when we come back this fall. Thanks Rick for sharing your beautiful home with my family. I forgot to mention, elevation is about 7500 ft. My husband who struggle with elevation sickness did well.
Just like the listing says, a pet friendly house outside of town but easy access.
Location and house were beautiful.
Furnishings and kitchen appliances higher grade.
Saw lots of wildlife.
Would stay again.
The property was clean and as charming as depicted by the pictures!
The kitchen was very well stocked and functional. Rick had also provided some wonderful locally roasted coffee. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay again should we return to the area.
Stayed for 3 weeks. Family reunion with family staying with us and in Durango. Celebrated in Durango. Home was beautiful, well stocked ranging from kitchen supplies to towels to laundry detergent. Jacuzzi was used extensively. Ate both at outside covered table and inside. Younger family enjoyed the fooz ball table and darts. Rick ( our host) lives in house next door and always available when needed
Durango only 15 minutes away and is such a beautiful town
Everyone loved our home and stay. Well worth the money
Thank you Rick
