"The host is very communicative prior to our visit. The house has a lot of space and while we were only a small family, I can see how it would be well-suited for a larger family or group. "

Large, beautiful home located in a peaceful area just outside of Durango. This house has a lovely open great room with living room, kitchen and dining in one large space which made it very accommodating for us. We were in town for a cousins’ reunion and the size of the great room allowed us to comfortably host a dinner one evening for 13 without feeling crowded. The bedrooms and bathrooms were located on three levels which allowed for privacy and quiet. During our stay we were entertained nightly by the wild turkeys that wandered through the property and we had a beautiful little fox come up on the deck on evening. Very nice place to stay.
