LOVED OUR STAY

We are already looking forward to our next trip to Durango so we can stay in this lovely home! The owners were so helpful and we made sweet memories together as a family. From the beautiful front porch overlooking the mountains while the train whistle blew as it passed by to epic pool and foosball games upstairs, we will remember it all forever.

Fabulous house with a fabulous view

We have a wonderful stay here for my birthday, 6 adults and 4 kids under 4. Was spacious enough for everyone to have their own space and safe enough to let the kids run around the house. Well stocked kitchen with a spice cabinet better than my own! Beautiful views and excellent communication with the owners. We will definitely be back again
