A $ Steal - Get Away from it All!

The place was very nice

There are some great things about this place and some not-so-great things:PROS: Lots of room for our family, kids loved having bedrooms in the loft All the utensils needed for a full kitchen Backed up against the beautiful San Juan National Forest Located between Silverton and Durango with easy access to nearby trails Had an excellent feeling of isolationCONS:- Some VRBOs feel like they are specifically for renting -- others feel like you're staying at someone's house; this VRBO is the latter- The house was mostly clean, but there were issues, like a sticky kitchen floor that needed to be mopped- I killed 6 brown recluses, including two right by the master bed, which made it tough to sleep soundly; I know the house is in the woods, but we've stayed at other VRBOs in the neighborhood during the same time of year and never saw a single spider in those; we pay 120 a year for a pest spray and have no issues at our house -- I'd recommend the owners do the same here- Decorations were a bit random; didn't feel upscale and seems that it's more of an after-thought- The recliners are all broken, so that popping out the foot rest will cause you to lean to one side- Rugs are stained, paint is peeling on front porch, this place just needs some TLC and it would be much nicerAll in all, it fit our needs, but we won't be back unless there aren't any other options.

Private, roomy, clean, and full of extras for a pleasant and comfortable stay. Blithe was friendly and attentive to any communication and responded quickly. The night sky blew us away. The cabin is conveniently located to many area attractions and trails. Just a short and scenic drive to both Durango and Silverton. I highly recommend.

As describes and very clean. No issues. Well stocked and quiet place to get away after a long day out.

We had the best time during our stay! Its out of the way so you feel secluded but close enough to everything. I loved that the internet was slow, made everyone connect more. It was the best stocked cabin we have ever stayed at. Tip: Order a pickup order at walmart in durango which is 45 minutes away so you dont have to buy higher priced items elsewhere. This cabin will be our first choice if we return to durango area!

The cabin was very cozy and felt like a remote location since you are at the back of the neighborhood. It was nice to be able to explore right out of the back door through the forest behind. The house had plenty of items to make our stay comfortable. There was more seating in the family room than the listing showed which was nice. I wish they were less worn out chairs and couches but great that we all had a place to relax and watch movies. We would definitely stay here again.

All positive

The house met our needs. It's in a beautiful area and close to good skiing and other Summer activities. The internet was a bit slow but useable. Other than that great place. Close to some trails. Very enjoyable.

House was great. Location was excellent. In the woods but close to everything. Plenty of room for our group. House was well stocked.

Great place very peaceful

This vacation home sits high on the mountain with spacious decks to enjoy the views and cool mountain air. We found the kitchen very well stocked with cooking equipment and plenty of dishes for a large family. The host was one of the best we have had, very helpful and easy to communicate with. Just wished we had seen a bear!

Met some family there and stayed for five days. Had everything we wanted; including a grill and plenty of firewood for bon fires. To simply bring food to the house and have everything else we needed was really great. The area is beautiful, very relaxing. The house is great and very clean; master bedroom is awesome. Thanks you to the host and I highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our time at blithe’s place. It is a little bit of a drive to get back into Durango, but it’s also a way and very quiet and very pretty. If you’re planning on going to Silverton or Ouray, you’re already almost halfway to Silverton. So that was another benefit from staying a little ways away from Durango. There is a bar and restaurant across the street from where you turn off to go to this place. It’s called, the nugget. Very unique place but we went there a few times as it’s very cool. I highly recommend staying at this place and planning on spending a night or two there. If got a permanent food truck on there that serves great food and also has some very good refreshments.
