    Cabin was nice and very clean. It had everything we needed for the two night stay. It was extremely hot when we arrived. Seemed to take a bit before the house cooled off for bed time. I forget not all homes in Colorado have A/C. This one has a portable unit in the living room. We slept with the windows cracked. If you are not used to roosters, be prepared! The neighbors have chickens/roosters. Those roosters were definitely up when the sun came up. So not much sleeping in, but that was ok since we had plans. Also not sure if I needed it on the descriptions, but it’s well water. So be prepared for the sulfur smell. They do offer r/o water in the kitchen for cooking, and drinking. There was an issue with ants in one of the rooms. We notified the contact number. We found some ant spray in the garage and took care of it. Overall, it was a nice little cabin. We enjoyed the board games and the corn hole game.

    This is one of the best vacation rentals we’ve had - lovely, quiet setting yet close enough to town, very clean and neat, very functional for our needs. Only one minor issue for us was dialing in the radiant heat system zones at night but we were ultimately able to get things comfortable. Even with this minor issue, it was a great stay.

    Beautiful house, clean and well equipped with comfortable beds and good showers. Every window offered a great view. My Texan family learned that all weather tires are not as good in offering grip on snow as winter tires do… but the roads are very drivable.

    Beautiful cabin that is updated with great features and plenty of space. It has everything you need inside from games and puzzles to kitchenware to plenty of towels and pillows. The hosts are very helpful and responsive. The location is perfect because you feel like you are out of the wilderness, but yet still so close to everything to do in Durango. Our group had adults and kids, and they place was great for all of us. Would love to stay here again!!

    The location was perfect for our family - far enough from town for a peaceful stay, yet close enough for an easy trip to the nightlife and shopping of Durango. With exposed beams and some unique log cabin touches, the cabin had a rustic feel but was thoroughly modern with updated appliances and features, like a heated floor in the master bath and multiple individual smart thermostats throughout the space. It was also immaculate. Hats off to the cleaning and maintenance crew. Everything was well cared for, with plenty of high-quality sheets and towels. There was more than enough room for our family of five, and the one-car garage came in handy when a snowstorm rolled through on the last night of our stay. Yes, the tap water had a sulfur smell, but we'd read the reviews and were prepared. There's a filter by the kitchen sink and plenty of bottled water, so no issues at all. We'd absolutely recommend this place to other families or groups.

    Cabin was in a beautiful, restful location and had all amenities of a high end, modern home with the charm of its history left unspoiled. Location is great - out of the city but close enough. Only very small complaint was the sulphur smell in the water. Drinking water is absolutely fine and lots of extra provided. This is just a natural part of well water but could be a problem for some with an aversion to it. The window views are gorgeous and the heated master bath floor is a surprise treat! The kitchen is outfitted with everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be back - loved this place!

    Everyone in our group (grandparents to teens) agree this was the ideal place for our trip. Handy enough to enjoy the activities in/around Durango while also getting to enjoy being on our own in the mountains. We enjoyed yoga/grilling/drinks on the deck with nothing but trees, mountain views and the occasional turkey/deer in view.
