Central hub while moving.

Instead of getting a hotel, we reserved with Ashli so family and friends who were in town to help us move would be comfortable. Thank you Ashli for a warm and welcoming place to stay.

Amazing place and location!

My family and I were so incredibly pleased with this beautiful home and the spectacular surroundings of the San Juan National Forest! The drive to Durango and beyond was absolutely stunning, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the cleanliness of the home, the beautiful furnishings, and it literally had every amenity we could possibly need! We hope to be back soon!

The home had plenty of space for our family however the home could use a deep cleaning - spiderwebs in the corners, light fixtures and baseboards.

Bayfield Family Time

Good location for us since we were in town from Phoenix visiting family in Bayfield. Easy drive to Durango or Pagosa. We were the first to rent the home. There were a few hiccups but the property manager was very responsive.

Quiet mountain retreat

This home is on a mountain road but not way up in the mountains, which we appreciated. It was close to Durango and Mesa Verde National Park. The house is well-equipped for making meals in if you decide to do that. We will stay here again if it’s available.
