Beautiful Views, Private, 15 Minutes to Skiing!

Vista Views is the perfect getaway for a peaceful family vacation. The warm, modern, and newly updated home has plenty of space for both family activities and privacy. It is conveniently located only 15 minutes north of historic downtown Durango and 20 minutes south of Purgatory Ski Resort. Located on a private street, the home is nestled among tall pine trees with amazing views of the red cliffs, and bordering National Forest almost guarantees you the chance of seeing the abundant wildlife in the area. The Spring months bring the relaxing sounds of the creek running on the property.

Once inside, you'll be welcomed by the open, single level floor plan. The kitchen is a cooks delight with plenty of counter space, pantry, and all new appliances! The adjacent dining room has a large dining table with enough seating for eight and the sliding glass door allows easy access to the deck and convenient location of the BBQ grill. The living room has a comfy, oversized couch and a 2-sided wood burning fireplace. Down the hallway you will find all three bedrooms. The kids' room has 3 twin beds (one is a bunkbed) and TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed and wall mounted TV. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, TV, and en-suite bathroom. For your convenience, there is a laundry room complete with washer/dryer located inside just off the oversized 2 car garage.

Bed Configuration:
Master Bedroom - King bed (Main Level)
2nd Bedroom - Queen bed (Main Level)
3rd Bedroom - Twin Over Twin + Single Twin (Main Level)

Would stay here again
As we have aged it seems that it is getting harder to find a rental in the area that is one story. We enjoyed the location and the house was perfect fir us. The wild turkey visits were fun to watch. We would love to stay here next fall.

Great Stay
We enjoyed staying here. Very nice place with a secluded feel and the location was great. Our favorite thing about the place (since we had our toddler with us) was the single floor layout and the easy access (no steps to enter or steep drop offs around the property). It made for a relaxing trip and we would stay here again.

Perfect family spot for ski vacation
We had a lovely stay, plenty of room for our two families, great location, 20min from Durango, 20min from the slopes, 1 mile from the relaxing Hot Springs. Property management was very responsive and we'd happily stay here again!

Relaxing Fall Stay
We couldn't have picked a better place to stay and see all the lovely fall colors! The home was well appointed and true to the advertising! My husband, two dogs and myself enjoyed this home as an awesome base camp to all that Durango offers. It was peaceful and we would highly recommend staying here!

Dirt bike escape
We have been going to Durango for 3 years to ride dirt bikes in the mountains. This place was great because there was plenty of room for sleeping and dinners but having access to the garage to store the bikes at night was awesome. Everything worked at the house and it had all the necessary equipment to make breakfast for 5 guys before we headed ride. We would stay there again. Enjoy.

Great Views, Warm Home
We have stayed in this wonderful home multiple times. It has excellent views, fireplace with a lot of unexpected features. For example it has heaters on the deck for those crisp mornings when you want to enjoy your coffee on the deck.

Absolutely fantastic!
Our group of 7, including 2 children, really enjoyed our stay. The house was immaculate and well furnished. The location was close enough to town, but far away enough where we felt relaxed. Thank you so much for having us!

This was easily the best vacation rental we have had in a long time if ever. It was very well equipped and extremely clean. Communications back-and-forth with the property manager was easy and all of her questions were answered properly. Highly recommend this rental for families and groups of four or more.

We loved this property. The setting is beautiful and it’s in a great location. The house was clean and we really liked the layout. We were celebrating my sister’s birthday and the house was perfect for our family - 3 of my sisters, sister’s boyfriend and my niece.

Beautiful Views
The house is very comfortable. We loved the location as we took day trips in every direction. Gorgeous views and we saw deer, turkeys, and a fox on the property. We went to the hot springs down the street and that was fantastic. Property Managers were very responsive and helpful. Great experience all in.
