Relaxing Getaway
My husband and I wanted to check out the Lake Vallecito area, so this was a perfect and easy location. The surrounding area is beautiful country. The property had great space from the other houses so you we felt we has privacy when we used the front porch daily for coffee or evening beverage. We walked the neighborhood and walked out to 'Treasure Island' which is an actual island between 2 rivers; very lush and wooded. The cabin is exactly as depicted, well appointed. Beds are very comfortable and cozy couch to crash on at end of day of adventure. Don't miss the opportunity to drive north to check out Purgatory and then Silverton and finally Ouray!

Amazing!!!
Traveled all the beautiful hot spots (Durango, Silverton, Telluride, Purgatory) and over the course of the week all I was thinking was ... can we just go back to the cabin. CO is great but the cabin in unforgettable. Beautiful, cozy, finely appointed, clean and so easy to relax in. Clear communication with VRC. Probably one of the best Vacation rentals I’ve ever stayed in!

Very Nice Cabin!
We enjoyed our stay at this cabin and had a great time! The cabin was very clean and the bed was comfortable as well as the couch and chairs. We did not run out of supplies as the house had adequate supplies and we had brought our own as well. The kitchen appliances were fine and we enjoyed the coffee maker and we discovered the filters and were pleased as we had forgotten ours. The subdivision is lovely and provides a very nice walk among some beautiful cabins. The cabin location is about 20 minutes from town and we were prepared for the ride which was so beautiful as we had timed the fall colors and they were quite the show! The porch was nice to sit on after a day exploring Durango.
Some suggestions on up keep for the cabin: fix the door latch. My husband took two cuts to his fingers with the screws on that latch. He was nice enough to put red tape over the cutting edge of the screws so that no one else would get cut. The door could possibly use a new latch as you have to lock it for it to stay shut. The pots and pans need upgrading. They look terrible and cheap. Also for the women out there...only one mirror and it's in the bathroom. It would be nice to have a mirror in the bedrooms.
All in all I would not hesitate to stay here again. It is a Great place just could use a few things to make it even nicer. Enjoy!

Thank you for taking time to leave us a review! We do take your feedback seriously. Unfortunately we only give all our guests a start up supplies which does not include coffee filters. We have taken measures into having our maintenance team fix the door latch issue that you experienced. We will also look into upgrading our pots and pans for this property.

Great Get Away
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this quaint property. We found it most comfortable, immaculately clean and well appointed. It was a nice place to decompress from our hectic jobs in Dallas TX.

Great vacation!
We had made several trips to the Durango area, but always in the spring and summer months. This was the first time during the winter. This property is around 10,000 feet so you can expect very cold and plenty of snow. When they said a 4WD was required, they are not kidding. During our 4 night stay we had over 2 feet of snow. A special shout out to the young man who came out a couple of times to plow the driveway and clear a path to get firewood. Very friendly and went above and beyond to help us out. The cabin was spotless and great location. The times we contacted Vrbo they were always quick to respond and took care of any needs we had. It was 5 star customer service all around. We will be returning and recommending this cabin to our friends. Out of all our trips to Colorado, this was the best experience we have had. Thanks again to Vrbo. They are way above the rest rental companies out there.
