Reviewer Comments:
From the rental process to the check out process everything flowed seamlessly. I booked everything online and the payment went through without any problems. I did have to call the main desk once about part of the rental procedure but it was handled quickly and professionally. The condo was the perfect size for my son and I, and we had everything we needed. I brought along a couple of items that I was sure I would need, a sharp knife and a vegetable peeler. I learned that from experience. The place was spotless when we walked it. The furnishings were nice. My only complaint was that the glasses weren’t clean, I had to wash them all before I used them. The location was perfect for everything we had planned for the week. We seemed to be halfway to everything. The pool and gym area were more than we expected. There was even a great grassy area where we had a family kickball game. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more. I have already recommended it to others and I would love to come back again.

This vacation rental was clean, attractive, and peaceful. It was perfectly situated for access to hiking hiking trails in the San Juan and Weminuche National Forests, and also to the Durango Silverton Railroad. It was also a perfect setup for us to cook most of our own meals, which we prefer for convenience on hiking trips, but we did treat ourselves to one very enjoyable lunch at the Mineshaft Bar and Grill, on the resort premises, and we highly recommend it!
