Winter Wonderland

We had an incredible ski trip! The house is absolutely beautiful and met all of our needs perfectly. The views were breathtaking, and it snowed as we drove and it made it feel like a true winter wonderland. Skiing was fantastic, and the resort being so close to the house was a huge bonus. We definitely needed 4WD to get to the house, but it was totally worth it! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay—it was an unforgettable experience!

Great location!

Beautiful house just secluded enough to enjoy the outdoors with no city hustle. Great location for enjoying Durango, Purgatory, Silverton and Ouray! Easy to get to from 550 and situated where you could go north or south to explore the beauty of the San Juan Forest and colorful Colorado. House was well stocked and had everything. Very comfortable beds and fantastic views. Easy to communicate with rental company.

Columbine Lake

This was a fantastic home and perfect for our family! Beautiful kitchen with all the amenities of not only kitchen items but also with stocked pantry items. Our only complaint would be the mosquitios as we couldn't enjoy the hot tub without getting eaten! Would definitely stay here again!

Some bothersome things

I should have looked closer but didn’t realize one bedroom had a half wall open to the living room. Kind of a loft. The dish washer and ice maker did not work so we had to do dishes by hand and buy ice. The dish had very intermittent reception but we didn’t watch much anyway. Overall the house was good and the location worked great for us.

Lovely house

Our stay at this property was great! House was bigger than the photos depicted which was awesome. Loved the proximity to Purgatory resort. Parking for our big truck was spacious. We weren’t prepared for the wood burning furnace maintenance but it wasn’t too bad.

Great Neighborhood

The area is perfect if you are looking for a mountain getaway. The neighborhood has a lake which is accessible for fishing and kayaking. The surrounding forest is a mix of aspen and pine the lot sizes of houses are large and give you space to feel like you are in nature. Much better then Engineer Village where the homes are all crowded together like a cheap suburb. Everything in the house was as described, communication with the seller was excellent.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway

We had a wonderful long weekend on the west slope. The home is beautiful and conveniently located between Durango and Silverton, allowing us to explore all of our favorite mountain communities. Each night we came home from a long day of exploring and enjoyed some relaxing time in the hot tub. I highly recommend this property!

This is beautiful property located close to the heart of Durango and the entrances to several hikes! After climbing Castle Rock, we finished the night in the hot tub admiring the beauty around! We can’t wait to go back!
