Beautiful home that was convenient to everything: hikes, restaurants, nature, downtown. We enjoyed building fires and hanging out and listening to records surrounded by the trees and mountains. The house had everything we needed, and the kids loved the bunk room and games. We highly recommend, and hope to be back soon!

Beautiful house with wonderful nature all around including lots of animal visitors. The house was fully stocked & had lots of labels/signs to help us easily find & use everything. Secluded enough where we felt like we were in a mountain cabin but a convenient short drive to restaurants, stores & Fort Lewis college.

Nice house that is nicely decorated and thought out. Big red flag would be that it lists having air conditioning. It does not have A/C it has a swamp cooler that left all of us very hot in the house the first night.

This was a perfect spot for our family coming for the Polar Express. My wife and I enjoyed the hot tub under a clear night sky. My son in law and I also utilized the ping pong table a lot. Overall a great experience and communication with the property manager was open and accurate.

Cozy Retreat
The Nuthatch property was amazing! The house has everything you could need and the decor is just beautiful. We did a grocery pick up at Walmart and cooked all of our meals at the house, except for the last night. Our main reason for our trip was to ski at Purgatory and do the Polar Express. The location was excellent for this.
We loved all of the signs around the house to let us know what specifically to do and how to work things. There were so many details put into this property.
Things worth mentioning: the hot tub is amazing after skiing for the day. The kids loved the TV/kids room. The fact that there were blow up mattresses made it even better because all 4 kids were able to have their own sleeping space. This helped getting everyone to sleep. Ha! The only thing I would say for that room is the addition of shades like the upstairs room, because the kids said it was kinda scary (it was a full moon so you could see out).The kitchen if fully stocked. The bedrooms were spacious and loved that there were desks in two of the rooms. All all agreed that the beds were super comfy. The upstairs room was the biggest with the biggest bathroom.
We were there during Christmas and after we asked, the hosts were gracious to have a small Christmas tree set up for us. The kids loved this because for sure Santa would come now. :) We were even able to bake cookies for him!
I had some questions before the trip and Edwin was quick to answer. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice house with a hot tub
Great house - loved the decor choices and the beds were comfy. We had deer regularly visiting and the front and back views are gorgeous. The kitchen included all of the basic knives and tools one would need. Location was convenient for going to town or heading off on other adventures. We loved the signs around the house with instructions on how to do things! The owners were super nice and flexible with check-out times.

Great property in Durango
Great property in Durango located between downtown Durango and Trimble. About 8 minutes to get into town. House was great, stylish, and clean. As well stocked and organized a Vrbo as we have rented. Everything you need to cook and accommodate a full house and everything was well organized and labeled. Quick response from the host on a couple of questions.

Durango Getaway
We had a great stay at this property. Edwin kept us informed and the location was very convenient (15 minutes tops to Downtown Durango). The property was extremely clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with glasses, pots, pans, and utensils. We used this as a home base for the trips we took to Ouray, Telluride, Mesa Verde National Park, and the train to Silverton. Great place.

Great place, super pretty location.
Great place, super pretty location. Property manager was very responsive. We enjoyed the record player and getting back to playing albums (felt like the 1980's again), the hot tub post bike rides and thought the location was perfect for the Ironhorse Bike Classic: Not too close to town, just the right distance away.
The only limitation is there are two bathrooms total and one is in the master bedroom, but we managed just fine.
Would recommend.

We had a great time staying in Durango and the house was great. There were a few things that we saw needed attention.
No coffee filters
No soap in shower upstairs
Latch and strike not working at rear bedroom
If we are in the Durango area again we would stay here again. Truly enjoyed it!
Thanks so much,
