Lauren was an excellent host. She made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The home was cozy and just far enough away from the hustle of downtown. We got to see deer outside almost every day that we stayed. Definitely recommend staying here for anyone looking.

We stayed at The Red House for a week and throughly enjoyed all the amenities. Close to Durango, fishing locations & drove out to Mesa Verde too. So much to experience in just a short drive. Enjoyed having privacy of a more rural location too.

Beautiful home

This is why of our favorite home we stayed, we sold our home and are traveling so we have seen many. Secluded enough but quick drive to Durango roughly 15 min depending on traffic. Fenced in yard, big bonus. Nice big room upstairs for the kids to enjoy. Highly recommended!
