Great winter getaway with family!

We had a large family vacation, great location for us to ski at two different resorts. Game room was awesome for the teens and adults. Plenty of room for everyone. There some was snow during our stay and the wildlife around the house was great to see everyday. Would highly recommend for large families or friends that want a reasonable place to stay. Would stay again if we have an opportunity in the future.

Best host I've ever dealt with

We loved the extremely spacious house, and the wonderful location out of town. The area is fantastically beautiful and we had nearly perfect weather all week long. I was surprised to arrive and find that this is the actual home of the host so their belongings are everywhere . First I found it stressful, but it's actually ends up working out nicely when you have children running around and lots of people in and out. We were a group of 14 so it was very relaxing to find the house"lived in" and not pristinely perfect . The owner was extremely helpful in clearing out anything we asked as we had one child with severe food allergies along. If you are wanting a high-end mansion, this house is not for you. If you like a relaxed and large family-friendly home this is an excellent place to stay.

Nice house!

The Mountain Manor was a perfect fit for our family of 7. We enjoyed the ample space inside and out! We were not aware it was a personal home however and that took a minute to adjust to upon our arrival. Also, it was hot in the bedrooms upstairs. There were fans upstairs but it still was hot upon our arrival and remained hot almost every night. Being Colorado, we understand air conditioning is not always needed. We just were not prepared for it being as warm as it was and the home a/c was not sufficient. Temps gradually cooled off by the end of our stay so that helped the sleeping. We would give this a 5 star rating if it wasn't for the not knowing it was a personal home and the heat. We definitely would book again - just in the cooler months of summer. We so appreciate the hosts and thank them for the use of their beautiful home!

Home in Colorado

We had clean beds and bathrooms, but the house needed a deep cleaning. The host was quick to address the problem later and did credit us the cleaning fee. With the heat wave this summer in the southwest, if you need air conditioning, this would not be the place for you. The children enjoyed the game room in the basement where it was cooler than the upper levels. The yard was not mowed, but the home is in a rural area, so I am assuming they leave it natural.

Large house but needs cleaning and better ac

Positive - The house was large and a great size for our family of 12. The neighborhood was nice. Deer and wildlife everywhere. Biggest issue we had was the temperature on the top level - where 4 of the 5 rooms are. No AC. With 95+ days. The owner told me to open windows and put fans in the windows to circulate air. That did not help until about midnight.. there was spiders everywhere. In the house, on the deck- Needs a good spray. Cleanliness was average. Since they live here full time, there was stuff everywhere. Pantry smelled awful. Lots of owner food in the fridge. The garage was a disaster- tools lying around and crap generally everywhere. Probably would not stay here again. On vacation I want to get away from all the clutter. Could have been better described

Great spot

We stayed here with our friends... 4 adults 6 kids. Ages 16,15,14,14,12 and 11. This home was perfect! The family who lives here has put alot of thought into the property and we're more than kind through their communication, we joked that based on the way the space was put together we'd probably be friends lol. We drove our truck here and our friends their mini van and had no problems getting up the drive. The home is designed for entertaining and was ample space for everyone we lacked nothing as far as kitchen gadgets and utensils... I left rather jealous of the kitchen! The turkey out the panoramic kitchen window was a treat to watch. The neighborhood is saturated with our feathered friends and deer. We would most definitely stay here again. Also, it's a great location in proximity to Durango and Pagosa springs! Thank you to the hosts, we loved it!

This is a beautiful property, all set up for a family. It is beautifully maintained. Five bedrooms, spacious kitchen and living area, fun game room in the basement. This is located in the beautiful mountains outside of Durango…it could not have been any better. The hosts are welcoming and available for any problems…but things are so well set up that there were no problems.

Great family getaway!

We had such a great time at Mountainside Manor. It was the perfect accommodation for our large group which ranged in age from 12 to 72. Everyone had fun playing in the game room, gathering for meals outside on the decks, and roaming the beautiful property. Deer and wild turkeys were regular visitors in the mornings and evenings. Devin and Trista were amazing hosts, responding immediately to any questions or requests we asked of them. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who needs space for a large group in the beautiful Colorado mountains!
