About this house rental

Our cabin features 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms sits on 1.2 acres and is located above Columbine Lake with a private hot tub and an awesome wrap around deck to enjoy the views.
Just 1 mile from Purgatory Ski Resort and 25 miles from historic downtown Durango, the cabin offers privacy and seclusion and awesome wrap around decks off both levels of the cabin with views of Engineer Mountain, Spud Mountain and of course Columbine Lake. The lower deck features a private hot tub and seating while the upper deck has an outdoor dining table (seating for 6) and a gas BBQ Grill.
The cabin features a second living space downstairs (with a TV), WIFI, washer/dryer, 2 car garage, and a recently remodeled, fully stocked kitchen. In summer and fall, there is a trail down to Columbine Lake (while beautiful, the lake is not stocked, so there is not fishing in the lake).

Downstairs Living Space - Queen Pull Out Sofa (Downstairs)
This home is pet friendly! We allow a maximum of 2 dogs max and the pet fee is $40/day (for a max $250 per stay).

Reviewer Comments:
This cabin was nice and well stocked and the view from the deck is amazing. A couple of things we found that were not great was the bed is terribly uncomfortable, somehow it is too soft and too hard at the same time. You sink down but the top layer is hard and we had a tough time getting comfortable. You also have to make sure and give the door on the refrigerator an extra push to get it closed every time. Glad we noticed it on day one so nothing was ruined. Overall the cabin is great and we loved the location. It was clean and the hot tub was a wonderful way to wind down in the evening.

We had such an amazing experience. The house was well maintained, in such a stunning location. The views were so gorgeous. The management company made us feel like they were readily available to help us with anything we needed. I've already recommended this place to several of my friends and family. We are certainly planning a return trip soon!

This house and location were exactly what we were looking for. The view was spectacular and the house was as described. The communication prior was helpful and clear. Very close to many different activities and near downtown Durango. We enjoyed watching the beavers work in the lake! They were busy! My only small complaint is the house was not as clean as I would expect. Very dusty and cobwebs everywhere. We definitely left it cleaner than we arrived.

Reviewer Comments:
My 3 kids and I stayed here for the week and enjoyed the lake view and the proximity to purgatory for summer recreations. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, and all the appliances worked great for every day cooking and cleaning. There were plenty of towels and toiletry throughout the home. The issues we ran into with this house is that other than the garage and front yard this property wasn't very dog friendly. lots of stairs and getting to the lake is quite a treck down the steep slope side. The local self proclaimed "Person who runs the lake - Tim" gave my kids and I a hard time the very first morning at the lake about fishing. The neighbors directly next door also yelled at us on the road about speeding - then proceeded to follow us down the one lane driveway to further press their point. The staff at VRC was extremely helpful via text message and fortunately these issues stopped once we made them aware. I would recommend VRC as their response and communication was wonderful throughout our stay. Overall - without the problems with the neighbors and the "lake manager" The kids and I had a pretty good time in Durango. Unfortunately though, we wouldn't rent this property again. Not the right fit for our family.
