This house is not only beautiful and has abundant extras, the hostess went above and beyond to check on us and to timely and effectively respond to our questions or requests. We stayed with other family and a few friends over spring break and had the best of times - everyone has already commented they want to rent it again next year!

Our favorite place in Durango so far

This house was great! We had multiple families and everyone loved it. The layout is nice and open, everyone could visit in the kitchen, living room, patio and always had plenty of space. The kitchen was more than fully stocked with utensils, cook ware, grill, Keurig, anything and everything you could want. All beds were very comfortable, hot tub was hot, and plenty of wood for the fireplace. 5 stars all around!

Perfect ski weekend!

We loved our stay at this beautiful home! Believe me when I say they’ve thought of everything. The home is well appointed, beautifully decorated, and comfortable for 2 families with kids (we were 4 adults, 3 children). The skiers in our group appreciated the short trip to Purgatory (7 minute drive), and the non-skiers enjoyed the views from the deck, hot tub, and gourmet kitchen. This is a special house, and we’ll be back!

Fantastic Hime

This was the second time my family has stayed in this home and it was as incredible as the first time, if not better. You will be hard-pressed to find a more well-appointed home anywhere on the planet. Comfortable beds, lots of room, literally any kitchen item you would ever need in the kitchen and only a mile or so from Purgatory…all the while secluded under some amazing cliffs and tucked away in a magical aspen grove. Doesn’t get much better!

Kids had absolute blast with the foosball and ping pong. Very close proximity to the slopes, local store and bar/ restaurants. The owner was very quick to check on us and responded if there was anything we needed. Will be staying here again. THE BEST!!!!!

Durango dream cabin!

This property is amazing! We spend a lot of time in the Durango/Silverton/Ouray area, and decided to stay here for a week long trip. The location is awesome, really quiet neighborhood, 30 mins to Durango, 30-ish to Silverton, and super close to Purgatory Ski Area. The property is nicely decorated and feels very cosy. The kitchen was exceptional, lots of space, high-end appliances, and open plan connected to dining room/living room. We also liked that it has a separate TV room that you can close off from the living room! Overall, this is a dream cabin in Durango!! Enjoy!

Mountain luxury

Our three generational family of 10 gets together annually coming from Michigan and Colorado. We stayed six wonderful days and it's important for us to have a home gathering place. Everyone of us loved this exceptional spacious home and we found we looked forward to coming home each day from hiking, mountain biking, fishing, touring Mesa Verde etc. Michelle has everything in her kitchen to satisfy every chef and we ate out only once and made great meals each night. We found Michelle to be very responsive through out the whole process and initiated calls to be sure we were taken care of. She indicated that's was their home away from home and it showed. There were several extra areas where smaller groups congregated: the family room with giant TV and sound system, hot tub, a special fire pit on the deck just outside the master bedroom, the pingpong and foosball area. This home makes you feel very comfortable yet has so many extra top of the line amenities that we discovered each day. If you are fortunate to rent this home you won't regret it.

Beautiful house. Great location to purgatory

The house was beautiful. You couldn’t of asked for anything more in the kitchen. Love the fire pit outside and the hot tub. Location very close to Purgatory Mountain and not too far from downtown. About 20 to 25 minutes to downtown. The only issue we had was their TV set up. We were never able to really watch it. I would definitely recommend this location and home. The owners were very responsive and pleasant.

We needed a place to stay while our home was being renovated in Durango and we could not have picked a more beautiful home. The house was stocked with everything- I mean everything. The home fit our family of 11 perfect. When the host found out we needed a pack and play for a little one, she went out and got one to make our stay as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend this place to stay. The location is convenient to everything. Michelle goes that extra mile to make sure her guest are happy. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
