Great home in an awesome location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 10 of us came for our son's graduation from FLC and enjoyed a home big enough to host us all together, and big enough to each have plenty of space. While the drive to Durango is a bit far (45 minutes) it is beautiful. Would love to come back and stay here again!

Almost 5 Stars all the way around!

We had a great time and enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately extreme temperatures caused it to be very hot making it uncomfortable in the house during the day and into late evening. It would have been 5 Stars all the way around if we could you or have used the A/C due to the unusually warm weather.

memorial tribute

very nice open floor plan well equipped house. Perfect for a large family. More residential than we thought, close neighbors and lots of dogs. The back patio screen was fixed the day before we left and when we could keep the door open there was better air circulation. We were there the end of June and it was hot & mosquitos galore!

Plenty of room!

The house has so much potential! The kitchen can use some additional supplies and organizing. Pack toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, napkins, dish washing liquid. They do supply a SMALL amount. The house can use a good cleaning, the blinds are dusty and the windows are dirty, but nothing deal breaking. The property manager was easy to get a hold of and responded quickly, they were willing to accommodate us on our check out day due to unforeseen circumstances.

Very Poor Management & Upkeep + Otherwise Great Place

More than 25 house issues around poor or no maintenance and poor cleanliness. Here are just a few examples concerning plumbing, electrical, lack of supplies (supposedly provided per the description): No access to the front-door from parking due to piled up snow and massive ice blocks on the front porch. I requested clearance of this 5 days before. Maintenance showed up at 4:10 (10-min after check in) as family guests were arriving. We later discovered many lights burned out on the high ceiling, no dish strainer, no dish towels nor cloths, no dishwasher soap, master bathroom faucets were loose we had to fix them, laundry room smelled like cat urine, variable speed did not work on the fans above the fireplace - only supper fast, fan not working and out of socket in upstairs bathroom, the sink plunger in the master bathroom was stuck closed, several blinds are broken or will not open and close properly, pellet stove was filthy. Each time we lighted it took 30 to 45 minutes to ignite, by day three it took 1.5 hours for it to ignite even after clearing some of the barely accessible ash. Dust and dirt everywhere in the house, dirty carpets that I had to vacuum before guests arrived. Nephew found a 1" dead bug on the carpet by the front door. Front porch and sidewalk were strewn with muddy forest debris besides the ice. We had no access to the back patio for barbeques and our planned picnic due to the roof-snow piled 8 feet high, where it was most convenient rather than placed/pushed onto the lawn with a tractor beside the cement slab. Part of the front window view was blocked with 6ft of piled snow from the roof instead placed aside and on the lawn. Of course, for a house with three full-bathrooms for up to 16 guests, does it really make sense to have only one 40 gallon water-heater? Management refused to remedy any issues before or while we were there. It appeared this house had not been used or cleaned for a year. I was offered apologies by text and phone and then nothing was done about it. Or I was thanked for informing Management about issues that they would take care of after we leave. What kind of professional service is this when you pay a huge non-refundable cleaning fee for a clean and functioning accommodations that are supposed to be working and ready to move into? Imagine the same happening to you at a motel or other VRBO house? "I am very sorry to hear about these housekeeping and maintenance is

Excellent for our family gathering

We had such a wonderful time with family. Our ID family met with our CO family for a high school graduation celebration. The home had great accommodations for all ages. The kids loved the upstairs with so many fun games too. Thank you so much!

Nice house

House was clean, area was beautiful and quiet. Water heater of 40 gallons was small for the size of the house. It was farther from Durango than we expected, around 50 minutes.

Perfect

Two families shared this spacious house and even hosted dinners that included some more extended family that live nearby. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with lots of dishes, cooking items, and odds and ends needed for dinners with a crowd. I loved the massive skillet!! The basketball hoop outside and pool table upstairs got lots of use. I would consider renting this cabin again sometime!

Great Family Getaway

We had a great time staying at this property. If you want a true winter wonderland, this is the spot. We checked in on Christmas Day and the property had Christmas decorations which was a welcome site! We loved this house and everything that came with it! We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful area but over priced

We needed a house with enough beds to accommodate many family members and some extended family. It definitely didn’t disappoint in that area. We learned that Apple map doesn’t take you to the right place, so be sure to use Google map. After staying there, we unfortunately felt like we overpaid for this place.

Family vacation

The house was great for a large family with plenty of beds and space; however it was an hour drive from all the activities in the area.

Covid Thanksgiving

Great place to stay and enjoy the family. Our kids preferred to stay and play at the cabin than go to town. We all had a great time, big place we were 10 and all had plenty of beds to sleep in and have our meals all together. Double garage was perfect for our 2 trucks. Loved it would super recommend it.

Great family house and layout.

Everything was good minus a little dated and we thought it was a real wood burning fireplace and not just wood pellets so that was misleading.

A True Family Retreat

My wife and I wanted to find a comfortable, spacious place in a beautiful location in the mountains for a retreat. We wanted to settle in and unwind with easy access to the outdoors. We wanted to open the door for our children to join us. This home was the perfect spot.

Stunningly perfect

We joined another family and all of our kids took friends. We all spent time together in the woods along the river and Under the Stars around the fire pit. It was absolutely perfect. The house was accommodating, well stocked and very clean.

Very impressive and comfortable home

This home is truly as big as the pictures suggest and is well represented by the photographs. I rented the house to bring my family together for a small family reunion during my daughter's wedding weekend. We had every bedroom and bed occupied and it never seemed crowded. With the open concept there was ample room for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves. Meal times went smoothly with enough room in the kitchen. All the beds were comfortable and plenty of towels and linens available plus on site washer and dryer. The house was well cared for and clean for a rental property and has easy access to the reservoir, about 5 min away. There was plenty of room for parking in front of the garage, we had 6 cars. It was nice having internet service so we could link our cell phones through Wi-Fi and having cable TV for the little ones. We will look into staying again the next time we stay in the area.
