Great place to stay for a family ski trip.
This is a beautiful, large 5 bedroom house that held our family of 12 comfortably for a ski trip to Purgatory. It is located between the town of Durango and the Purgatory Ski Resort. One of our family members is a paraplegic, so having a main level bedroom and bathroom is one of the things we look for first. The living room and kitchen layout worked well for us and the dining room table for 12 was excellent! Several people used the hot tub and said it was good. We would stay here again for future large family trips.

Mountain Retreat
The home and property were beautiful. The grounds were maintained and so peaceful. Tree's, lawn, creeks and a river surround the home. There was a great variety of games, indoors and out which we took full advantage of and enjoyed. The home was spacious, beds were comfortable. I would gladly recommend this home, and wouldn't hesitate to come back for another reunion here.

Durango became essential meeting point for our family that came from 5 States to get together and celebrate our dad who had just beat cancer. The home was beautiful with plenty of space. The outdoors were very relaxing we loved the river and the hot tub and there are so many things to do so close to this house would love to come back and stay next year.

Property was exceptionally clean. Surroundings were beautiful. They were redoing the Welcome Book so there were a couple of issues we needed assistance with. We had a group of 16, ages from 10 months to 73 years and everything in between. Overall, a delightful space for all!

The property has plumbling issues and we had to wait 36 hours for repairs. The furniture is uncomfortable for any amount of time. We were there for 2 weeks and spent most of our time outside. The property is stunning and the pictures look exactly like the property.

This property is amazing and well cared for. 4 generations wrangled together was a wonderful experience with the space and layout of this property. Our daughter and now son-in-law were married in town at a small family ceremony and our Durango stay was a blessing. Thanks a million for this home away from home!!

75th birthday party
Property was gorgeous. House was unbelievable. Beds wete very comfortable. Instuctions on TV, grill, hot tub would have nice for us older people. 30 somethings were able to handle it better. Two complaints, hot tub smelled, was scummy and kept flipping the breakers. We think that the firepit was out of propane. It would light but not stay on. Sounds nit picky but they both helped make the decision on where to stay so it was disappointing.

Perfect!!
Everything you need is right here! We enjoyed our stay. The house was well stocked and very comfortable! We loved playing in the snow and the peaceful sound of the river flowing! We also made some furry friends the fox and chipmunk. The fireplace was a nice touch and super cozy! Only thing I wish is that I could see this beautiful home in the beautiful summers of Durango! Thanks for a lovely vacation!

Annual Family Vacation
Stunning property!! We loved everything! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could ask for; the bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and dining room were comfortable for everyone. The owners were so amazing with answering questions and setting up a home to make sure everyone has all their needs met! We LOVED it!!!!! If you are vacillating on properties...DON'T...book this one! My only regret is I didn't book longer! We could have used 1-2 more days.

MOB family
We were in town for my daughter's wedding at Riverbend. There were 14 of us in total. There was plenty of space for us to cook congregate and socialize. It is a beautiful property and we made wonderful memories to last a lifetime! The house rules are reasonable and understandable for a house of this size and quality. There are two sets of laundry machines and two fridges. There are several small appliances 2 coffee pots, 3 blenders, 2 crock pots. This makes cooking for a group easy. Thank you to the owner and property mgmt. for a great place to stay would definitely come back!!!

WHITE MT. FAMILY
The yards were amazing with a river on on both sides of the property, we were outside most of the time and loved it . The house was nice and big plenty of space for everyone. It needed some TLC cleaning the cob webs were over grown, the master bath smelled of sewer the whole time and the beds could use some new mattresses. They are very picky about the towels you use, so bring your own folks, they will charge you if you use to many, even if you wash them before you leave. We had a really good time here, the yards made it and river made it a fun stay.

Overall, a great home
The house is beautiful, better than the photos and overall we had a great time. As other reviewers shared, we had a few glitches with the house and the property management setup. In the interest of sharing our experience for you to set expectations for your trip, here is what we experienced: Pros: The home is clean, spacious and in good condition The property, privacy and distance to Durango is perfect. You can’t get better outdoor space, even had our own walking trail that we used each day off the back yard. We loved having the stream flowing for a special touch and outdoor seating. The home's layout is great for a big group and worked well. The kitchen was well enough stocked to prepare our Thanksgiving dinner for 12. Not perfect, but pretty dang good for a rental. We enjoyed the fireplaces and the woodsy/comfy feel but still well-appointed. The check out list was easy and reasonable (I’ve seen far worse) When our heat and hot water went out we had prompt service and attention. A few fails: Having rented homes all over the world, I can say this property management company seems to be about policy as opposed to human touch. There are signs everywhere (and the welcome emails) warning about usage of things, towels, toilet paper, etc. I consider this home to be in the luxury rental category, but the level of control + warnings reduce this feeling immensely. This could be much better controlled to allow the illusion of luxury. The upstairs TVs are there, but no remotes. After we found one remote and turned on TV’s we found that the wifi cannot support the Roku and they just searched endlessly. We were a group of 12 but we learned that the house cannot support the usage of our group. We were constantly out of hot water. Our heat/hot water stopped in one night and when the plumber came the next day, he said the house is on a system that runs on priority. Basically, his advice was… stop using anything but heat till it warms back up. He also indicated that we cannot use, washer, shower, heat, fireplace, etc all at the same time. So …. Basically this home isn’t built for 12 if we have to be constantly worried about prioritizing heat to the main floor. Few little wonky things like the dining chairs are on their last leg and one is about to break apart. Without the other concerns, I wouldn’t have even mentioned this. Overall we enjoyed our imperfect stay and in a pinch, would stay here again.. Hope this is helpful!

Stepping Into Home
Our family (4 generations) was in Durango for Soaring Tree Top zip lines. This house felt like home when you walked in the door. Plenty of room and the amenities to create a wonderful breakfast, afternoon happy hour, and evening around the fire-pit , enjoying the hot tubs, or playing the abundant games.. Every feature was quality including bedside mints on check in. The showers are Amazing. The stream, creek, ditch, whatever gurgles by and puts you to sleep like a lullaby. Every element was ABOVE my expectations from appliances to bath mat. If you are spending a week or a weekend; it is almost hard to leave the property. Thank you!!.
