Family mountain home vacation
Great location. Beautiful views. Home was comfortable and roomy for our crew of 9 adults and 3 grandkids 3 and under.
Hannah Smith () was a wonderful referral from VRC. She provided 2 excellent chef private dinner experiences and she premade a few meals also. Highly recommend! We enjoyed a family sleigh ride and had a lot of fun. Love the town of Durango. We will definitely return for another visit.
Thank you for sharing such a glowing review of your stay! It sounds like you had an incredible family getaway filled with beautiful views, comfort, and special moments. We're so glad the home provided the space and coziness your group needed, and it's wonderful to hear your grandkids had a great time too. Hannah Smith sounds like a fantastic addition to your experience, and we're thrilled she could elevate your stay with her private chef services. A sleigh ride and exploring Durango—what magical ways to create lasting memories! We’re so grateful you chose our property and delighted to know you’ll be returning. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable visit. Thank you again for your kind words! -Mackey
Best 50th wedding anniversary ever
Lovely home set in a scenic location. Just the right distance for privacy but close enough to shopping, restaurants and activities.

Best rental house ever!
by Stephen H.
The pictures didn't due justice to the home. The kitchen was extremely well stoked with pots,pans,bowls and cooking utensils. Home was clean and bathrooms were spotless. Every bedroom had it's own bathroom and the 4 main bedrooms all had a deck of the valley and the mountains. We were 4 couples but the house had beds to support 17. There was so much space that every couple had privacy.
We are so happy to hear that you had a wonderful stay here with Vacation Rental Collective! We hope to see you back again in the near future! 🙂 -Erika

Remarkable home shared for a fabulous vaction
by Reagan R.
This fabulous "home" was shared with our family consisting of 3 generations and 1 dog. It was beyond amazing and exceeded our highest expectations. Everything was perfect. We were confident we could get immediate assistance but never needed to ask. It snowed 18" (yeah!) and all driveways and sidewalks were cleared straight away. It was stocked just like your home would be and the furnishings and decoration were beyond anything we have ever experienced. Finally, I must mention that the home was perfectly suited for a dog with a wrought iron fence around the back. Thank you so much for the opportunity to have a wonderful family vacation in your beautiful home.
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay here with Vacation Rental Collective! We hope to see you back again in the near future!

Going back!
by kelli l.
Our family of 16 have stayed at many rentals over the last 10 years and this one falls in the top 3. Floor plan is perfect for 4 couple who all want their provate room and batheroom. It's like having 4 primary suites under one roof. Bunk room was great for our teens and the little kids bunked with their parent's. Common areas very spacious for eating, games, football watching, fires and hanging out after a full day of skiing.
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay here with Vacation Rental Collective! We hope to see you back again in the near future!

"The View"
by Denise M.
An amazing family Christmas vacation is what this house and owner Brad gave my family. With breathtaking views and plenty of space for my 3 grown children, spouses, and 4 grandchildren, we made memories of a lifetime. The pictures do not do the place justice. The kitchen was well stocked with good cookware, dishes, silverware and provided everything we needed to cook some terrific meals. The large yard offered lots of space to play in the fantastic snow we received the second day. My Texas grandkids loved building the 6ft snowman. The spacious layout of the house offered plenty of room for everyone to have their own private space and bathroom while also providing several large areas to gather as a family to eat, play games, and make S’mores. Although the snow and ice provided a little challenge getting out of the driveway one day, the owner himself plowed the snow and helped us Texans get out to the road. We loved that it was not directly in town, but was close enough to enjoy all that Durango has to offer. You will not regret renting this house. We will be back!
