The property was very clean with lots of privacy and access to town, ski resort, and access to activities to the North. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was perfect for us and the river out back was wonderful. This was our second year to stay in Durango and there was so much to do that we stayed busy every day.

My family enjoyed this property. Beautiful location with the mountains and the river. My brother was very excited when he caught a rainbow trout in the river in front of the house.

We had a family of 10 all over 18 and there was plenty of room. Great location for going to both Durango and Silverton. We white water rafted, rode horses, took a tour of Mesa Verde, rode the train to Silverton and rode the Jeep trails outside of Silverton. Great trip

Great location along the Animas River. The yard was perfect for kids to run and play. Hot tub was a so nice for the cool evenings. Kitchen was great for making family dinners. Game room was a hit for the whole family! We will be back!

Our family had a great time at this property! We especially enjoyed being by the river and used the fire pit nightly. The house was comfortable for the 10 of us and would have accommodated more people. Lori was very helpful and quickly available. We would rent this property again.

This property was everything we imagined it would be, it had plenty of room for six adults and six kids ( ages 10-16 ). The house is conveniently located between Durango and Purgatory Ski resort so it was easy for us to get to the lifts when they opened as well as make the grocery runs into town. I would definitely recommend staying at this beautiful house.

We had the best time on this property. The kids loved the basement area and the yard was like heaven for running and playing. The adults had plenty of space and the kitchen was perfect for the big meals we prepared each night. We were a family of 6 adults and 6 children and everyone had plenty to do and plenty of room to do it in. We are already talking about coming back!

Grounds and location were outstanding. House is in need of repairs and updating as well as a good cleaning. Home was spacious and well equipped but was uncomfortably warm due to lack of air-conditioning and fans.

“Oh my goodness’” is what every member of my family said as we walked into this magnificent property! Such a beautiful location with our own private river in the back yard! Our excitement reached a new level as we opened a new door! And that kitchen!!! Wow! We cannot wait to get back to Durango, Colorado, and to use this property again!

This was a great place. Like other reviews it's uncommonly warm in Colorado and not having air conditioning was a bummer. The kitchen floor was pretty dirty upon arrival and the bathroom and laundry lights didn't work. Other than those very minor issues we would stay here again.

Location is fantastic. Surroundings have beautiful scenery. Cleanliness in actual house was pathetic. Floors full of dust, mice poops,Bugs on top of beds and a dead mice in one of the rooms. Bed Sheets smelled really bad and upstairs house heater really doesn’t get to two rooms, so it gets very cold. Fireplace upstairs doesn’t work and we where not advised. Someone needs to supervise before guests check in if property mangers know that there are mice in area.

This property is amazing! This house was nice and spacious. We had 12 in our group and there is more than enough space in this house. The wood floors are beautiful, and the beds all comfortable. We only had one small issue while there and the management company responded very quickly. They are very nice people. We spent a lot of time outdoors at this property. The rivers were full and the lawn beautifully manicured. The kids loved the basketball court and game room downstairs. I would definitely stay here again!

The house was spacious, well laid out and met our needs for accommodating grandparents, adults and 2 teen boys. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes, flatwear, pots and pans as well as an outdoor gas grill. Everyone enjoyed the basketball court, we all enjoyed sitting by the Animus River during the day and after dinner. Because of its rural location, Wi-Fi was slow and sporadic which seemed to be related to internet traffic because it was great early in the morning. The hot tub was enjoyed by the adults.

It was a great property for our large family. Everyone had plenty of space to spread out! Sitting next to the Anamias River is amazing especially in the cool morning with your coffee. We loved sitting in the hot tub in the cool evenings. Even with no AC the house was plenty cool in August. The house was close enough to downtown Durango and had everything we needed. I my suggestion would be to have a basketball that holds air. The kids played every night and had to air it up everyday. We had a few issues and they came out and fixed it immedialty. Great property we will be back.

This is a very nice property with one shortcoming if you rent it for the summer time. There is no AC which makes the interior heat up during the day to 80+ degrees. The house has a lot of fans but it doesn’t cool the house during the day. Other than that it’s a very nice house.

We had the best stay in Durango in this gorgeous home surrounded by flowing water. It was seriously perfect. So relaxing. The home had ever needed and more. Our family of 11 was more than comfortable during our stay.

We’ve been staying in vacation rentals for several years and I’ve have to say this was our family’s favorite. The location on the river and the full court basketball court gave the entire family plenty to do without leaving the property. We loved it. We’d definitely rent it again if we come back to Durango.

The home was great and exactly as described. The location was great and the views were amazing seeing the snow, river, and mountains out the back door. There were a lot of great winter activities in the area for our enjoyment. We would definitely go back!!

We had a great time, the home is in a beautiful location right near the river and was well equipped for our stay. The kids had a blast, and the hot tub was a big perk for them. Highly recommend :)

First let me start by saying the folks at Durango Colorado Vacations were top notch as always. We love working with them. We booked at the last minute and this was the only place available that would fit our crew at the time. Given that, it was a great get away with a great location. Unfortunately this home some upkeep issues or has been quite abuse by other guests. examples being broken doors/door hardware, broken windows/window frames and/or latches (letting cold air in), broken fireplaces. I would definitely suggest looking elsewhere for a place at this price. The WILLOWBROOK ESTATE, of instance, was in much better shape.
