The location of the property was great with an excellent view. The Tamarron Lodge is convenient to both Durango and Purgatory. The unit 506 itself was a bit outdated (if that matters to you). The a/c and dishwasher were both out of order which we didn't know beforehand. The dishwasher wasn't an issue, but a/c being out made our stay in mid-July nearly unbearable. The owner must've known bc there were several fans throughout the unit which were virtually useless to the left where the children would've slept if it hadn't been an oven up there. They preferred to sleep on the couch downstairs. The kitchen has minimal items, so if you plan to cook all week pack accordingly. We purchased plastic plates/bowls/knives/spoons, etc. along with coffee filters(coffee), paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, toiletries, etc. As a family of 4 only 2 of us were able to use the pool once and one of us used the gym once due to the need for reservations (COVID). The reservations were generally booked when we called & they wouldn't allow guests to call more than 48 hours in advance. That was disappointing. Laundry was at end of the hall...I'm not sure how expensive bc we didn't need it. The carpeting in the unit was coming up and tacs were exposed. My child stepped on one the first day before we realized the issue. We threw a rug over it for the remainder of the week bc we couldn't fix it. We left a note for housekeeping. Overall the vacation was lovely. We'd return to a different unit with a working a/c during the summer. The area is gorgeous with plenty to do in Durango and surrounding towns. We loved the white water rafting, kayaking/canoeing at Purgatory, mini golfing in Durango, Pagosa Springs, Telluride, and spotting wildlife such as deer and bears. We also rode the Durango-Silverton train and visited a local gold mine tour. The kids really enjoyed Colorado.
