We had a wonderful vacation in Durango staying at this property. We loved the location - gorgeous views, peace and quiet, and lots of space for our teenage kids to run around with the dog. The house was comfortable and had all that we needed. I enjoyed the beautiful kitchen and bathroom. I wish we could have stayed for a month!

A perfect place and setting for our dogs and us! It’s such a special place. Wildlife visits, beautifully remodeled home on a beautiful property, quiet and relaxing with all the comforts of home. The master king bed was incredibly comfortable. We were thankful for AC as temps were warmer than expected. Cool nights helped our restfulness. The pictures on VRBO didn’t do justice to the actual setting. We will return!

Mice

This is the second time we have stayed at this property and while it’s beautiful and in a great location..it will be our last. In 2020 two dead mice made the place smell terrible until I found them. This stay we saw mice running around the main level the first night, I called the property manager and they were sending someone out but day turned into afternoon then evening so I purchased some traps. We caught six mice in four nights. Every morning I was cleaning poop up. It was gross. I would have gone elsewhere but couldn’t find another place that would take a dog. The management company did give us a 10% refund but for 4,000, I shouldn’t play exterminator.

Fall Getaway

Visited Durango this past week and enjoyed our time at this cabin. It's close to town but feels like you're in the middle of the mountains. Lots of wildlife each day including elk and turkeys. Great kitchen and outdoor space. Plenty of room for family...definitely a peaceful retreat. Small fenced yard was perfect for dogs. Highly recommend!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had simply a wonderful winter vacation at the cozy Rockhouse! It was very well equipped with all we needed! Loved the surrounding views and the privacy of the 3 acres. Our doodle Hank enjoyed the ability to explore the property and play in the snow as did our 4 year old grandson! We were treated every morning and evening to a large group of turkeys making their way to and from roosting! Everyone loved the steam shower!! Convenient location to town or Purgatory. Very comfortable beds and beautiful renovated kitchen.

Such a cute piece of history!

This house was super easy to find, has updated amenities and amazing showers! We loved our stay and were able to hike up the hill that was within walking distance. Turkeys and elk greeted us every morning and evening. Loved it!

Rock House rocks!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our third extended stay at Rock House - and there’s many reasons we keep coming back. There’s just not another property in the Rockies that compares. Privacy, beauty, wildlife, proximity to necessities while giving a “cabin in the woods” feel. It’s VERY Special.

Amazing home and views

This home was amazing and we will definitely be staying here again. We loved the updated bathrooms and big kitchen. The views and stream that ran through the yard was so beautiful and our kids enjoyed running around. Their were a lot of dead bugs in the kitchen and their was mice poop in the main bedroom on the bedding and side table.

Wonderful stay in the mountains

Honestly, this is the best rental property we've ever stayed at. You're about 20 minutes north of Durango, but very close to the highway and it's easy to get to town or north to Purgatory/Silverton. The property has a full kitchen with all of the kitchen-y stuff you'd need (honestly, we were taking pictures of things in this kitchen we want to add to our own house). There's a full gas/propane dual fuel grill as well out back. The yard is perfect for your four legged friends, and the rest of the house is great for a longer-term stay (great bathrooms -- jacuzzi tub) and the laundry units in the basement. But what really sets this property apart is the responsiveness of the VRC staff. We got in pretty late, but they still checked in on us to make sure that we got in the house okay, and they were responsive via text the whole time we were there. We're definitely going to be making a return visit!
