This was our 7 stay here, 2nd this year so obviously we absolutely love Orion’s View!! The house is so comfortable, the vies are incredible and the location is perfect! Outside of town but not too far so it’s an easy, quick drive to Durango. Lastly, Renee is incredible! Needless to say, we’ll definitely be back next year. ?
We had a great time with our family in Durango! Many thanks to Renee for being such a wonderful hostess! She was very attentive to our family and incredibly fast in responding to any of our communications! Her home is beautiful! It was perfect for us traveling with our family including one infant. We would have worried if we were traveling with our oldest grandson (he would have gotten into all the decorative items in the house if he was with us). It's a perfect home for family traveling with older children or infants! We will definitely look to stay here on future trips to Durango!
Lovely, clean home and very nice host, BUT! False advertising. They show views of entire San Juan Mountain Range; they topped one small pine tree and the ‘view’ is tiny. They live in the house and actually put towels out on both bathroom rods with a “Please do not use” sign. All windows in both bedrooms have signs next to them saying there might be trouble and that a person might have to go outside to close them. The one car garage has a jeep in it (in description it’s there for your use) and an old car sits in the driveway at the garage. Pantry fully loaded, no room - must put shades on all those beautiful windows in summer most of the day as sun shines on them and deck. VERY disappointed - have rented a LOT and never run into this.
The location is perfect, house was beautiful and host was amazing. One of the best stocked houses we’ve stayed at. We will definitely be back!!
We enjoyed our stay a great deal. The property was beautiful, the accommodations were impeccable! The attention to detail to make our stay as comfortable as possible was obvious. It was just what we were looking for!
Everything about our stay was amazing from the first interaction with the owner to checkout. Renee’s communication was stellar from the moment we booked her home, to the follow up, to the day of our arrival and beyond! She always made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. She even had a wonderful birthday surprise waiting for us when we arrived! The home and grounds were perfect! We couldn’t have asked for anything more! The views were stunning! We will definitely Italy be back to Orion’s View the next time we are in Durango! Love this host and this property! xoxo
6th year staying at Orion’s. Jew and it was once again a wonderful, relaxing sta. Can’t wait for October for our 2nd stay this year! Home & location is perfect and Renee is the best!!
Beautiful property and cozy warm cabin. Located close enough to Durango but still had plenty of privacy. Clean with all things needed during our stay. Would definitely stay again.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this home! It felt warm and cozy and was very comfortable. Location was beautiful, great place for our dog to run around, big windows to let the sun in, and easy access in/out of property. Highly recommend this property!
We found a lovely place. Beautiful, comfortable, quiet. We left refreshed and happy.
This was our 5th stay at Orion’s View and it was excellent as usual! Beautiful and comfortable property, close to Durango but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. Renee the owner is so friendly and attentive. This is 100% THE BEST VRBO location we’ve stayed at and plan to continue doing so.
This property is on my top 3 list that we have rented and we have been renting through VRBO for about 15 years. I loved it so much I want one just like it. Very clean, everything you could possibly need for your vacation. And the owner added some special touches to welcome renters to her home. Would definitely stay here again next time we are in the Durango area.
This property was comfortable for my husband and I And our dogs. That you so much.
Orion's View was a perfect place to enjoy the Durango area. The cabin was comfortable and fully stocked with everything needed to prepare meals and feel at home. It was great to return to after spending the day exploring. We were there during monsoon season and were treated to a fantastic lighting storm one night. Orion's View definitely made the vacation memorable.
The home is beautiful and the location worked out well for us. I have never been in a better stocked rental. The appliances were top of the line rather than typical rental appliances. We were there the end of July so it was pretty warm. I imagine AC is only really necessary 2 months out of the year so there is only one window unit in the living room area, which did work great. There were a few nights that we were pretty warm and it would have been nice to have AC in the bedrooms, but I understand that it is probably not practical for 2 months out of the year. We had two couples in the home and the set up was perfect. There were 2 bedrooms each with king size beds and private bathrooms. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely recommend this home.
We had a wonderful time at Orion’s View in The Durango area. The house was as advertised and very, very well stocked with everything that most people would want and need. The neighborhood is quite and peaceful and lends itself to long walks. The owner was very easy to reach and communicate with. The grounds of the property are also nice and very well kept. We will definitely be back!
