Stayed here with friends for a soccer tournament
This was a good home to stay in- it was VERY clean which won us over! It is definitely quirky and had some minor inconveniences (some doors won't close and several light bulbs were out upstairs- wasn't a huge deal but we didn't have much light up there at night) but the cleanliness and the neat game room would bring us back!

Durango Family Getaway
This Durango worked well for our multi-generational family. It had lots of room for the kids to run and play as well as areas for the adults to hang out and de-stress. The cabin was large, easy to get to and close to everything we needed. I would recommend this property if your visiting the Durango area!

Volleyball tournament
We booked this property for a volleyball tournament. I is a little bit outside of town but perfects. It is an easy drive but your stay feels like you get the best of both worlds (mountain vacation) and close enough to drive in multiple times a day if needed. We had two families and grandparent stay. It was perfect as each adult couple and grandma got our own bedroom and bathroom. The kids had their own space (bedroom and little hang out room). The game room was an extra bonus and so much fun. There is plenty of space for everyone making it an easy vacation. The host was so nice and responsive. We accidently locked ourselves out of a room and it was fixed promptly. We loved our stay and will go back.

Great location!
We enjoyed our stay at this cabin on our recent ski trip to Purgatory. The owners were pleasant in our communications and the location of the cabin made getting to the ski resort a piece of cake. The cabin is also close to a grocery store and other things to do in and around Durango.

Perfect house for multiple families
Property was well maintained with a very unique layout. We absolutely loved the week we stayed there with family and friends. Four bedrooms and four baths was perfect with no waiting in line for facilities. Amenities were great and the large kitchen perfect for our morning breakfast. Highly recommend this home and will stay again on our next trip to Durango. Location was also great for all the activities we attended for my son’s wedding Exceptional home.

50 Year Reunion of Army Buddies
Property is older and basic, but very clean, neat and comfortable. I believe the property owners care about the comfort of their guests, which was most important to our group. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfortable. The stairs to the home were somewhat problematic to the oldest member of our group with a high step at the doorway.

Fun place to stay!
If you like original & fun, this is the place to stay. We were there for a family wedding & was excited to find a place close to the venue, but we would definitely go back and stay here just for the fun of it, anytime. Unique, clean, comfortable, well stocked, and friendly, accessible hosts. Kids had a great time with the spiral staircase, big yard to play in and the game room. Adults enjoyed the scenery and the relaxing setting.

We had a great stay. Very cool old lodge with loads of rustic charm and plenty of comforts. Lots of room to get comfy or cozy. Nice property with lawns, flowers and trees. Easy in and out with plenty of parking. Close enough to town to make it an easy trip, but out of town enough to avoid the hustle and it puts you that much closer to the mountains. And you get a great view/sounds of the steam train twice a day! Great hosts who communicate very well. We will definately return.
