Durango vacay
The location at the Glacier club was great. Lots of stairs to get to the unit. Bed upstairs was really firm. You can tell the unit was old and they are trying to make it look modern. Laundry facility was directly across from unit which was nice.Pretty good location between Durango and Silverton.

Nice Place
We were happy with the accommodations . It was clean and had all the supplies we needed - including some spices for cooking. I was apprehensive seeing the electric grill on the patio (property regulations), but it performed VERY well.
Since the listing said Durango, we thought we would be in Durango, but we were really ~20 minutes north of Durango towards Purgatory and Silverton. This worked out for us since the hikes we were doing were in that area anyway.
This is a very large property with a nice golf course. They had a gym and pool - although the pool had very few lounge chairs for the pool size.
Overall we liked the place and would consider it for future plans!

Condo outside of Durango
The condo was decorated nicely and was comfortable. There were some cleanliness issues which were reported to VRC including outside deck, entry and bath. We should have realized how far outside of Durango the location actually is, it is noted in the description. Also was not aware that the hot tub, fitness room, pool and restaurants are a half mile from the condo. Note, there are a lot of steps from the parking lot and up to the hot loft. Beautiful country for hiking.

Summer vacation to Durango
I enjoyed the property, location and amenities. I did choose to stay there because of the restaurants on site; unfortunately, as renters we were not able to make reservations to either restaurant so we didn’t get to experience that.

Get Your Steps In With Stairs
Condo was very nice. We did not like all the stairs outside going up to the condo. They were not well lit. Also difficult carrying luggage up and down stairs. In the condo it never cooled off upstairs (spiral staircase) even tho they had a portable fan. Who wants to climb those stairs and take luggage up them. The downstairs bathtub was not clean so I used the bathtub upstairs. They said they would come clean it but i chose not. Lots of closer space. Nice home furnishings.
