    A well-loved family friendly cabin in the mountains. Great access to trails, Silverton and Durango. We loved the porch, family room, big dining table and the kids loved the loft. Great stay!

    The house is nice, the deck is the best feature. Kitchen had everything I needed. The hot water smells a bit, and the water pressure is not very good both in the kitchen and showers, but it’s manageable. Unfortunately there was a dead mouse in the living room under the corner of the sectional couch that is unattached. The corner slides out constantly, making that portion of the couch unusable, and the floor was filthy under that corner. I had 2 small children with me and finding a dead mouse was not a good experience! Not getting a response from management company is unacceptable.

    Wonderful Place! We enjoyed the comfort of the home. The house is set up to where everyone enjoys each other’s company. People also can slide away have privacy to themselves. Upstairs Bed is hard but the other beds were nice. Rooms are clean and non cluttered. We liked having extra beds available. This is a wonderful place to stay.

    We had a lovely 3-night visit with 3 adults and 2 children - plenty of space, just right. The bunk bed was very secure and cozy. The house was super clean all around, which was so appreciated. The house was fully stocked with anything we needed. There was some fun kids games. The deck faces west so we had a lovely warm afternoons as the sun set with a gorgeous view of the cliffs and the changing leaves. The neighborhood was super quiet and peaceful and it’s in a great location right between Molas Pass and Durango, with Needles Market nearby if you forgot something. Our only complaint was the downstairs full size bed wasn’t the most comfortable pretty and the sheets very scratchy, you may want to bring your own. Lots of cozy blankets to use. There is good reliable wifi but not super strong, in case you need to run multiple streaming devices. Thanks for everything, we had a wonderful time!!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Made for a great base for our hiking and jeeping in the San Juans. Will stay here again.

    We loved our stay at Heavens gate! It was a great location between Durango and Silverton. It was very secluded and quiet. Perfect for star gazing.

    The property was ideal for our family gathering. Very comfortable and equipped with everything we could have needed to make our stay enjoyable. The personal touches added by the owner were evidence of the affection they had for the house. Gracious of them to share their family home with our family for a few days.
