The property was poorly kept and maintained. Doors didnât lock, screens were torn and inoperable. With temperatures in the high 80s to low nineties cooling was required. There was a portable EVAP cooler but it was not hooked to a water supply requiring the tenants to refill it manually with a pitcher ever 2-3 hours. The second week the hot tub sprung a leak. A repairman did come out eventually and fix it. Discovered a large hornet nest near the hot tub. Fortunately no one was stung and the nest was removed by an experienced beekeeper. The master bed frameâs middle support legs were broken or misaligned. Renter had to take mattress off and reset legs to make the bed functional again. The refrigerator would not dispense ice or water. At one time stopped making ice but tenant clean supply tubes and got the icemaker to work again but no dispensing. The VRBO advertised view of the 3rd green of the Dalton Ranch golf course is a ruse and borders on malpractice advertising. There is no view as the area is overgrown with tree branches and thick, uncut bushes. Due to the experience we shorten our stay by 4 days. The owner compensated us 2 days for all our troubles. Donât recommend this property to anyone. The ownerâs onsite property manager was a nice guy but not helpful in solving the problems experienced, in fact he told us that cleaning the patio was useless since the wind and the cottonwood seeds would just mess it up again.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was large enough for our family of 12 which included grandparents down to toddlers! The nice large kitchen was a good gathering place. We did cook most meals at home. We enjoyed the great room and warm fireplace as it snowed o e day!
Beautiful home on golf course and close to everything in Durango!
This home was beautiful, spacious, and had everything we needed. The host was easy to communicate with and replied to my questions quickly. We were close to Purgatory and everything downtown Durango. We had an amazing time!
This property is exactly as it appears on the listing. No surprises!
The property manager was quick to respond to our questions and VERY easy to work with.
The beds were comfortable and the home is pretty spacious.
I would recommend to friends and family!
The house was very well laid out. All amenities were as stated. House had just been cleaned. Excellent location and easy to get into and out of.
One problem was that in the upstairs portion, only the top half of any of the outlets worked. This was somewhat inconvenient. It meant that we had chargers everywhere for the phones and what-not. Other than that, it was great.
This property was perfect for our family. Grandparents down to grandchildren, it was very comfortable. We found it not only beautiful, the neighborhood was gorgeous, peaceful and quiet. The hosts were helpful, friendly and informative but not intrusive, and we found it well stocked and spacious. We are already wanting to book this property again. Thank you Ron and Felicia
In the area with family for a wedding just down the road. Perfect location and great facilities to hang and chill with my siblings between events. Would absolutely stay again should we find ourselves in Durango.
House was clean and in a very nice quiet neighborhood. Had all amenities as described and the use of the 2 car garage was great, we were able to park our Harleyâs out of the weather and not worry about them overnight. Would gladly stay at this residence again.
Ron's home was perfect for our large family, plenty of room for everyone to spread out. 3 couches in living room, large dining room table fit us all. Location was the best, right across from the Hot Springs, in-between town and ski basin. Hot tub was a nice bonus! Only small comments, No complaints, some pans in kitchen needed to be just thrown out and we ran out of forks at every meal. Would definitely stay again.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. There were a few things that needed attention.
Not enough towels for everyone. Everything was heavily used and wore out. Coaches, pots, pans, etc. TVâs need to be upgraded, they were small and older.
We really enjoyed our stay. The place was as listed with all the amenities needed to make everything easy. The location is about half way between Durango and Purgatory right on the golf course. The neighborhood was very quiet w/ hardly any traffic. The kids enjoyed sledding down the hills on the golf course. Gas fireplace and hot tub were awesome. We had a fantastic time.
We couldn't find extra towels at first, but after rereading the instructions left, we found them and there were plenty. The location was ideal. We were there for a funeral for our uncle, and he had lived right next door, and our cousins both lived in the neighborhood. Our only complaint was that it could have been cleaner.
Amazing Location and Lots of Space, Not Maintained Well Though
This home's location is absolutely wonderful....quiet, gorgeous neighborhood and very private even though it's on a golf course... the home is spacious and had plenty of room for our large group of family that stayed there! The BBQ grill and hot tub were a nice added bonus. The only drawback is that the home is not well maintained at all. MANY things were not working or were taped together....leaky faucets, baseboards and doorways needed painting, carpet and door handles and screens were in disrepair, the home was not stocked well at all... every cabinet had random things and broken pieces of things in them.... almost like no one maintains this home. It was not "dirty", in fact it was clean! Just in sad shape. The beds were VERY tough to sleep in.... the master bedroom bed was the only comfortable one. No one else slept well in any of the other beds.... So overall, we had mixed feelings about this home.
