Peaceful setting, so relaxing having coffee/cocktails on the porch. We had a daily visit from a sweet cat, too. Home was clean, beds comfortable, and had plenty of kitchen necessities. Thanks for sharing your home, Rick.

Check-in was super easy. The large kitchen has extras like garbage disposal, large refrigerator with ice maker, commercial grade appliances.

10.0 / 10.0

Really enjoyed our stay in Durango! The house was very spacious, with everything you could possibly need, and laid out to give plenty of separation. We spent lots of time on the porch just enjoying the breeze and the sounds of the wind through the trees. We saw deer in the yard, and the kitty cat that hung out was very sweet. Very good location for going to Durango and Mesa Verde. We would definitely return!

Absolutely beautiful home. Great host.

Lovely house, peaceful and relaxing.Hiked every morning and relaxed each afternoon on the wonderful, shaded porch overlooking a beautiful yard.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful, spacious home with a lovely outdoor space. It's great for small family gatherings. It even comes with an outdoor cat. (I would have loved to take him home!) It's a bit of a drive to town (15 minutes), but we liked being in the peaceful atmosphere. Our only negative was the upstairs master suite was overly warm for us and too many windows to the east so early morning light was a problem as we had to leave the windows open. Durango had higher than normal temps and the AC didn't reach to the upstairs. As long as temps are normal, it wouldn't be a problem. We would definitely stay again during cooler times!

10.0 / 10.0

The layout of the house was perfect for three adult females. We each had our own section of the house. The house was very clean. We appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was as well as all paper products, including paper towels, toilet paper, and Kleenexes in every room. There was plenty of dishwashing soap as well as laundry soap, and trash bags. We also enjoyed the cat that hung around.The outside of the house was beautiful and we enjoyed all of the outdoor seating.The only negative was the air conditioning did not keep the house very cool. Also, we would have enjoyed a hammock on the hammock stand.

10.0 / 10.0

This is the most beautiful property we have stayed at in Durango. The house is open and airy, with a beautiful deck and kitchen. The house is situated at the end of a quiet street, where the only noises we heard were birds chirping. Our teens loved the downstairs den with the comfy couches and TV for downtime. Rick was the perfect host; very responsive and sent detailed information about the property in advance of our stay. We loved the proximity to Lake Nighthorse and downtown Durango, too.

10.0 / 10.0

Was a great house to stay in, clean, beautiful views and a quick drive into town.

10.0 / 10.0

The home was very clean! We stayed in main bedroom on first level. For us it was a bit cold. Our daughter and son in law stayed on second level master. The stairs ar steep going to upstairs master. They said the temperature was comfortable and used the small ceiling fan in the room. The home's layout allows for privacy. Kitchen was stocked with needed items. The available washer and dryer was a plus for us. Went through messaging to ask host about instructions for glass bottles and close out, but didn't get reply. I did not try to use the available number because of the time of day and did not want to disturb so late in day. Not sure if the messaging to host could be improved during a stay. This is a great option for a stay in Durango.

10.0 / 10.0

Nice and spacious. Three good size bathrooms for each bedroom area. Huge kitchen. We actually saw deer in the yard a couple of times! Heating system is good. Water gets hot pretty quickly. If you are not used to driving on snow and ice, you may want to pass on this property. The drive is very winding and hilly. Luckily, it was mostly gone from the roads for us. We really enjoyed this house!

10.0 / 10.0

Rick did an amazing job with this house from the space, cooking supplies, everything we needed he had and more. We had 8 adults and 1 infant. There’s more than enough room for more. My husband and I stayed upstairs which made it feel as if we had our own home since it was so private with a beautiful balcony where we watched the sunrise from. The deer came on the property the last morning we were there, it was a nice farewell before we headed home. I hope we get the opportunity to stay at Rick’s again when we come back this fall. Thanks Rick for sharing your beautiful home with my family. I forgot to mention, elevation is about 7500 ft. My husband who struggle with elevation sickness did well.

10.0 / 10.0

I will start with the fence for the dogs since it is rare to find fenced properties in the area. It met the requirements to keep my elder dogs inside the massive yard they have. Other details include the massive space you get with the house inside. This was definatley a great spot to stay away from the city but close enough to be able to order food delivery.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful home as advertised. Home is very spacious and of course the hottub is a plus. There is everything you need if you just want to chill out at the hose for days. The only advise/suggestion I would give the owner of the home is to make sure that the fllors are always swept after every visitor departs and that here are tv(s) in the bedrooms. All in all we enjoyed our stay in this home. I would truly recommend anyone who is visiting Durango, CO and is looking at staying at a hotel to instead stay in this beautiful home.-Charles M.

The property was exactly as descibed and even better. We had a 4 and 6 year old in our group and they loved exploring the yard. There was so much space in the house. Thank you for making our weekend so relaxing. We loved it.

Stayed for 3 weeks. Family reunion with family staying with us and in Durango. Celebrated in Durango. Home was beautiful, well stocked ranging from kitchen supplies to towels to laundry detergent. Jacuzzi was used extensively. Ate both at outside covered table and inside. Younger family enjoyed the fooz ball table and darts. Rick ( our host) lives in house next door and always available when needed Durango only 15 minutes away and is such a beautiful town Everyone loved our home and stay. Well worth the money Thank you Rick

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful inside and out. The spacious interior was comfortable and attractive-- superbly equipped kitchen, and excellent bath, bed and laundry facilities. All enhanced by striking photography from the host. There is an expansive deck for grilling with nearby gazebo, and with hot tub in private corner overlooking a fascinating backyard irrigated with sprinkler system--more like a miniature botanic garden than a yard. Mule deer were frequent visitors because of the apple tree there, and a handsome gray fox made its way past one day. NOTE: 1) although it is fenced, the backyard should not be considered pet-proof, and 2) the driveway is a slim asphalt lane through a canopy of trees--vehicles larger than a mid-roof van could not access it easily.

Three generations of our family stayed in this wonderful home. It was perfect for our family of 7, ranging in age from 8-76. The house is lovely, had everything we needed, well-located to Durango and surrounding area. We enjoyed the outside dining area and yard with pretty flowers in bloom. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to stay near Durango in a beautiful, quiet setting. We loved our stay in this home.

10.0 / 10.0

This house had plenty of room to give everyone space to themselves but the best part of this property is the large, spacious and outstanding backyard as our dogs loved it as did us! Great to look out and enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks taking it all in! Saw deer and turkey several times. The yard is very well maintained and fenced in so you don’t have to worry about pups being outside enjoying themselves. Plenty of kitchen items for home cooking as well. Bedrooms very spacious and master bedroom upstairs is a great getaway. The drive into Durango was a short drive that was very scenic. We’d book it again when visiting Durango!

8.0 / 10.0

We stayed in this beautiful home because it was supposed to be fully fenced and pet friendly. The owner did allow our 2 mini schnauzers, but we had to walk them down the driveway to the road to use the bathroom everytime. It was supposed to be fenced but I couldnt let my dogs out because I can't control when and where they will pee or poop. The house does have a small beautiful yard and flowers and a great porch to sit out on at night.

10.0 / 10.0

We enjoyed this property immensely. The home was charming and provided us with everything we needed for a family visit. We will be back!
