The house was clean and we enjoyed the beautiful views from the living room. The deck was also amazing to sit on and enjoy the view. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked. The floor had a couple of uneven areas that made us stumble a couple of times, but we quickly learned to anticipate them. The tub/shower in the master bedroom is quirky and there is a rather large ledge you have to step over to get in and out, which might be difficult and even dangerous for those with knee or hip issues. The check out process is a little picky because they want you to wash a load of towels and put them in the dryer before you check out. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in this property!

Great stay

Perfect spot for 4 adults and 2 kids for a long weekend close to town but it also feels like you are in the valley. The deck is incredible and I wanted to spend the whole time out there. One of the best rentals I have ever stayed in. 10/10 would book again!

Terrific location for summer stay

The location was perfect for anyone visiting the summer sights in Durango. Only minutes from downtown attractions and on the road towards Silverton, this house certainly met our needs for our one week stay.

Family time

We visited in early/mid June, and had a great time with extended family. The house was very comfortable for our family group. We spent a lot of time out on the deck enjoying the very scenic view. We all enjoyed our stay at this house, and would definitely stay there again.

Excellent house for Durango visit

Our family of 2 parents and 3 adult children really enjoyed our stay in mid-August. The deck was better than the pictures show. It was a really nice view and a great way to start/finish the day. Everyone enjoyed the ping pong and air hockey games downstairs in the evenings. Great location with easy access to everything that we needed. We would love to stay here again.

Beautiful View Animas Valley Home

This home has a huge deck with a fabulous view. The living room has a vaulted ceiling with windows overlooking the deck lets you enjoy the view from inside as well. The location is great - just a few miles from the center of town, grocery stores etc. A great spot for families.
