Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice place and amenities and covered all our needs. We enjoyed the stay and will be back to Durango / Tamarron at a later stay. Only issue was the heat in the upper bedroom - the sun during day time made it too hot for anyone to sleep upstairs but we made it work with sleeping on the couch.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic views, beautiful furnishings, very clean, comfortable beds and pillows! The resort was great, though we were so busy we didn't have a chance to explore much more than the pool. The condo itself, was very well set up for a number of guests. Having two bathrooms, was huge for our family of four and being an end unit on the top floor also helped us feel a little less worried about our loud children. It's great for kids, but two thoughts of caution when bringing children- 1. All the rooms connect either by glass window or the loft area- if kids are sleeping in the second bedroom and or the loft, its difficult to congregate as adults in the primary bedroom or the living room without bothering them. 2. The spiral staircase leading to a sleeping area- 'nuf said. The only thing I would change would be to have some information about Tamarron in the actual condo unit- it took us a while, asking other guests, to figure out where the pool was, what the restaurants were, etc. A little guest book that includes a map of the facility and some restaurants and attractions for that area of 550 would be great and come prepared with a VPN as the internet is all public access and not password protected.

    A little warm but plenty of fans!!! The smoke detector went off chirping. We had to take the batteries out, and they finally came the next day and fixed it but other than that, a great view and a great place to stay. We would stay here again.

    We enjoyed the tranquil setting and the on site amenities. Figure about 30 minutes in to downtown Durango in the summer months. Can’t beat the views on the drive though!

    We chose this location based on the proximity to both Durango and Purgatory resort. The drive was about 10 minutes to Purgatory and 20 minutes to Durango, which was perfect. The unit was clean and well equipped; it had pretty much everything we needed. It had a small, but well-equipped kitchen. It had a full-sized washer and dryer.

    The condo was perfect for our group of 6. The kids loved the upstairs loft. We had plenty of room to relax, cook, and play. Our 7 year old loved the cabinet full of games. Everything was spacious and comfortable! We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and small playground. The location and views were beautiful!

    The property is in a beautiful location. The views from the condo are just amazing especially in the master bedroom. The condo is well stocked with tools needed to cook in the condo. My teens enjoyed the pool. The workout room was also a huge bonus.
