You'll love the seclusion and large yard this beautifully remodeled vacation home offers. Whether your group consists of two small families or two couples, seniors, parents visiting their student at nearby Fort Lewis College, or you simply want a basecamp for your outdoor adventure getaway, this lovely Durango home offers an excellent balance of peace and quiet and mountain activity. Set back off the road just one mile from downtown Durango and nestled in the San Juan Mountains at the southern tip of the Rockies, this fresh and clean rental provides you the privacy you want on vacation with an abundance of fun outdoor options, as well as dining and shopping.

The bright interior with an open floor plan and high ceilings creates a cheerful environment for you to gather and enjoy the company of your guests. Fresh, white paint and glossy wood floors throughout make this home sparkle. An added bonus is the owner's framed paintings and photography hung throughout. Lounge on the comfortable sofas in the living room, one of which features recliners at either end. Warm up by the gas fireplace as you catch up on your favorite cable shows on the large TV, mounted above the fireplace. The large west-facing picture window in this room provides plenty of natural light and impressive views of the La Plata Mountains and surrounding hills.

The brand-new kitchen features tile flooring, all new stainless appliances that include a dishwasher, and lovely wood cabinets. Create delicious meals in this kitchen that has everything you need without feeling like you're missing out on the fun, thanks to the half wall with a breakfast bar between the kitchen and living room. If you want a break from cooking inside, whip up a scrumptious meal on the gas grill on the patio and enjoy the clean mountain air as you and your guests kick back, relax, and catch up. This lovely house sleeps up to six guests, and with all new beds and new bedding, you'll be sleeping in style. You'll find a king-size bed in the first bedroom and a queen-size bed in the second. The third bedroom is great for kids with a full/twin bunk combo. The bathroom is new and nicely done. This home also offers a washer and dryer in the hallway for your added convenience.

Check out the bike path at the bottom of the driveway or the mountain bike trail that runs into Horse Gulch just a quarter-mile down the road. For those who want to venture further out, explore all the wonders of San Juan National Forest. A multitude of hiking, rafting, and fishing options are available, either on your own or with guides, and don't forget about the Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum. In the winter, hit the slopes at Chapman Hill Municipal Ski Area (a little over two miles away) or Purgatory Resort, which is 28 miles away. And of course, you'll want to explore downtown Durango for shopping and dining out. Whatever your reason for coming to Durango, this beautiful, newly remodeled and charming home will provide you with the perfect home base during your stay. Book your dates now, and start making plans!

This was a perfect place for my family of four to use as a home base for our trip to Durango. The property was exactly as shown in the listing and central to all our excursions.

Very nice stay
Great location in Durango and close to everything. Roomy house with a nice patio, kitchen, and living room. The one bathroom was a bit small though. Very clean and good communication with Vacasa.

Good place to stay
The property was great. We had a little hard time finding it but your directions were good. We just took a few passes. The house was comfortable and suited our needs. Beautiful location. Our only suggestion would be to turn up the hot water a little and find a way to increase the water pressure. The shower needed warmer water with more water pressure.

Family Ski Reunion
We took our adult children skiing for a week, and this house suited our needs just fine. The only glitch was the electronic door lock didn’t work when we arrived late at night. It took a little while, but we eventually got the code for the lockbox containing the keys.

Review
The house was exactly how the listing was described. The only reason I gave a four star and not a five is because the dishes in the cabinets were either wet or had dried food on them so I had to wash all the dishes before we used them. As for the rest of the house it was immaculate and would definitely stay there again and recommend it for others traveling to Durango.

Get-Away in Durango
Check-In was easy. Lots of places to sleep. Kitchen was well stocked of kitchenware. Only 1 dishwasher pod was provided for a whole weekend. Management did bring more when called. Beware of lawn sprinklers - they will wake you at 5:30am if your bedroom window is open. Sprinklers stayed on from 5:30am to past 8am both mornings. (we left around 8am both days). A small note warns you that keys do not open the top lock. Did we pay attention? No. Had to call management 2x to see if we could get back in. By 4pm - we still could not obtain entry. Management did showed up to help later that day. If tape (like duct tape) had been placed over the lock, we would have paid attention. Trash was tucked away in a separate out building. I hope management gets a trash service soon, there were over 10 bags of trash already there when we arrived. We loved the yard & patio. Lots of chairs provided. The gas grill was clean and started right up. Easy to use! We would definitely come back for another stay.

Nice Small House
House was very clean and well stocked. It is close to Fort Lewis College, but a little outside of walking distance to access downtown. The only limitation is that there is just one bath (we had 4 adults), but that was very clear from the listing. I would stay here again.

We enjoyed our time in Durango and to come home and relax in a nice quiet space was wonderful. Put girls loved watching the deer each morning while eating breakfast. The location is very convenient to downtown and all the local activities.

Very Disappointed - Be Sure to book direct with VACASA to avoid the VRBO fee
The most troublesome issue was a very offensive odor permeating the "cabin." We opened all the windows to get in some fresh air. Despite the fresh air, the odor persisted through out our 4 day visit. It was strongest in the front room near the sofa and bar stool area. We never could figure out the source. Also very disappointing was a non-working fireplace. It was chilly in the evening and morning so we were looking forward to using the fireplace. The front yard was un-mowed and had sprinklers on a timer to insure the long grass was always wet. I would have turned them off but I didn't locate the timer until our last day. The master bedroom bed sagged in the middle. The yellow sofa in the front room was wallowed out so it too sagged very low when occupied. The only good attribute was the location.

Great location, nice place for sure. Only issue was a mouse...or two....and an odor that we finally located to a mouse corpse. Very good and clean except for this.....which, for a girl's trip group, became an unnerving couple of nights.

1st and last VRBO/Vacasa stay
Poorly maintained. Front door deadbolt couldn’t be locked with key, door handle (only way to lock door) very loose. House had an offensive odor which was sorta masked with heavy air freshener (applied just before check in). Reported these problems immediately, no effort made to fix them. Owner was aware of the deadbolt, handwritten note inside about the deadbolt not working. VRBO surcharge is 30% for various fees and taxes. Last night’s Hampton Inn’s surcharge was 14%. The property overall was seedy. Does have a nice bathroom and beds. Kitchen and living room dated. Front porch is the best feature . Good location.
