5 Bed/3 Bath near Purgatory, Hot Springs & Downtown Durango
Enjoy this 5 bedroom / 3 bath getaway with elevated views of the Animas Valley. The property is perfectly located only 1 minute to the new hot springs, 20 minutes to Purgatory Resort, 1 minute to Dalton Ranch golf course and 10 minutes to downtown Durango.
Access miles of hiking and biking trails right out the backdoor as the house is secluded and surrounded by the San Juan National forest on 2 sides.
This house is great for families and large groups and is even equipped with a game room and bunk beds for the kids. The house is two floors which allows for privacy for multiple families/groups under one roof. Please note, you must be able to climb stairs as the main living area and kitchen are upstairs, which allows for beautiful, elevated views :)
The home also has many new improvements including: Central AC/Heating, backyard patio, remodeled bathroom downstairs and new driveway (steepness was slightly reduced and compact gravel added for traction).
Pleases note, even with the enhancements the driveway is still fairly steep and you must have 4WD/AWD during Winter months.
Wonderful house! Beautiful views, plenty of space, and great location to everything. Our host was very responsive and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!
This home had everything we needed from for our group of 11 which ranged from 1 year old through 75. Kids loved the hikes up the mountain from the back yard. Shared Thanksgiving dinner with three Does dining outside.
The owner provided an open line of communication throughout the whole visit .
The property description was pvery accurate.
Great place to stay. Great accommodations. Beautiful view and close to downtown Durango. Loved the privacy of this location. You canât go wrong staying here for your next Durango vacation.
We had an excellent time during our Durango vacation. The house accommodated our large group well and Kyle was a very responsive host, who answered all questions in a very timely manner. We didn't have any issues/problems with the house at all so there wasn't much communication needed! We wouldn't hesitate to rent again!
10 of us stayed for a weekend wedding. Loved it. Didnât get to spend much time there, but everyone was comfortable and there was plenty of room for me an and lots of parking. The owner got back to me within an hour when I had a question.
We stayed with a group of friends and visited the hot springs, Purgatory, and went for a train ride in Durango. The house was central to everything we wanted to do.
The host was wonderful to communicate with and helpful all around. The accommodations were perfect for our large family. So many rooms and bathrooms to go around. Great distance from the heart of Durango and hot springs. A trip our family will not forget and plan to repeat.
This property worked out perfectly for a long weekend family gathering in Durango, CO. Nice common area with living room and kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms. A clean and tidy house. Owner was very responsive to a few questions prior to our arrival. We will likely stay here again.
Place was great! Location was a bit closer to town than I anticipated, and that was helpful. Hot air balloons in the valley on our departure day! Would suggest extending the handrail all the way to the top of the stairs (gramma kind of wiped out), more dish towels, and warmer light bulbs :). Would love to come back again, thanks!
Totally enjoyed our stay! House was perfect for our needs. Any minor problems were handled immediately. Had a problem with one of the game tables failing on my granddaughter because it apparently was broken. But would definitely stay here again!
Property is absolutely beautiful! Scenery couldn't be more picturesque. The house was super well stocked and had everything we needed. Any small issues we had were promptly addressed and the owners were extremely responsive and accommodating. All of the recommendations in the binder for food and activities were spot on. Would definitely recommend to others and would rebook!
We had a great time at this house. It was clean and well stocked with all that we needed to cook. It was 3 families that stayed here. Plenty of room. We also had a dog- the house was great for her. Location is great. The driveway is very steep to turn into and get out of. We loved it here. Thank you Kyle.
Kyle was kind, responsive and accommodating throughout booking and during our stay. His place was perfect for our family of 14. One daughter stated it was by far the best VRBO she had been inâŠclean and lovely with excellent decor, comfy beds, beautifully folded towels, plenty of extras for our large group. The view was awesome, especially since it was snowing. It was like being in a Hallmark Christmas movie, according to another daughter. Needless to say, weâd stay there again. Thank you Kyle for your flexibility and for providing a special place.
The place was in a great location in the animas valley. Close to town and a 20 minute drive to the ski mountain. The house had plenty of space and the third floor kid area was a huge plus. The driveway is very steep and after 3 feet of snow fell it was a treacherous ice block under the snow. I would definitely recommend a 4WD vehicle if you are coming in the winter.
Nice location, good communication with owner. Decently stocked with household items. Definite lack of detail of cleaning crew. House is showing major signs of wear and unfinished projects.
Great location, excellent kitchen. Host was very communicative and was very helpful when we had an issue with the cleaning.
The property is a little more run down, not a huge issue. There isnât a functioning AC which made being there In the daytime uncomfortable. Fans are provided but one of the basement rooms has no windows or ventilation. The screens over the doors are falling off so make it buggy at night if you leave the doors open. Just about 10 minutes from Durango, which is nice.
Fair price for the size and location, but sad and tired.
Considering the number of bedrooms and baths and proximity to Durango, the price we paid was fair. However, the property is poorly maintained. From the worn floors, broken oven door, decking that is hazardous, lack of screens on windows and door walls and the bugs. The host mentioned that we might see a few Boxelder bugs, but we saw way more than that. Bugs crawling on the worn living room rug, bugs crawling on the walls, bugs perched on dressers and vanity cabinets. Bugs everywhere. The warning about the bugs should have clued me in. Lesson learned. We will not stay here again.
Me and my family stayed two nights here. Check in is late, at 4:30 which was tough because it starts getting dark early. When we arrived the driveway is very steep and nothing was done to it, no plow or no salt, even with four wheel drive vehicles it was a challenge getting up it, and getting down is even worse because the end of the driveway is on a busy road, so sliding down it was not very fun! The parking area is all ice, it was very difficult to unload luggage and dangerous. The views are great and location is very good, it's in a safe location. However, the interior had issues, There really is not a dining room so a large group cannot have dinner together. There is a large dining table upstairs that is placed in a hallway next to the living room, so only two sides of the table were accessible, the other two sides are up against walls and cannot fit anyone. We ended up having some of our family eating dinner in the living room. Upstairs is quite small for a large group. There is a game room upstairs in a loft area but one arcade game was broken, the air hockey table was thrown in the closet in pieces, the futon legs were broken and not useable. Nothing like the pictures on the website. The three downstairs bedrooms were very nice and accommodating as well as the two upstairs bedrooms. Check out time is early at 10:30 and the cleaners showed up before 10:00 to get started, so we had to rush out the door.
