Three generations (not all of them, but enough)
The house is beautiful - we really loved the epic porch - perfect to sipping your morning coffee or tea! The western sun does hit the porch hard up until the sun goes down, but then it cools off pretty quickly again. Know there is no AC - so close your windows before 9 to keep the heat from getting in! The sheer number of light switches was amazing and confusing - we should have had the kids go around to identify which switches powered which lights! None of us had any issues with the beds (couple of reviews mentioned they were hard), I was in the upstairs queen bedroom and one night i put the box fan into the window to bring in the outside air - it was amazing. This house is managed by Vacasa - after I had booked it on VRBO as a three bedroom, I was contacted by them and it was quite easy to work with them. NOTE - the downstairs bedroom/studio is an open concept with full kitchen and the couch is a pullout. Since we had rented the whole house, we unlocked the staircase doors so we could go between internally instead of outside. I'm sending some notes directly to Vacasa for improvements, but will definitely stay here again! We saw a bunch of deer, but no other wildlife for us.

Very disappointed!
This place was listed as a NEW cabin. We found a dried up french fry on the night stand, rugs had visible debris, a bottle cap was left on a table, etc. I thought I was renting through VRBO but ended up dealing with a company called VACASA. We arrived at check-in only to find issues with codes they gave us. There were instructions for HOA/Gated entrance - there was no such thing. The 2nd unit needed a code - we did not have it. The property manager showed up minutes after we did and helped us get into the property. She said she lived 1 1/2 hours away so we knew we could not count on her for help. She had to call in a maintenance man for help. He was the most helpful of all! He brought us detergent when we ran out. The quantities they had provided were not sufficient for our 5 night stay. The bbq grills did not work. Screens had holes. French door was hard to open/close and would inadvertently lock leaving people on the deck to get in by way of the lock box. We had left change on a night stand and it was missing when we went to get it. Kitchen items were not all clean when we went to use them. We had to wash them before we could use them. No instructions for use of TV/cable/streaming which was very difficult to figure out. With the help of the maintenance man, we were able to use the system. There were no instructions for linens when we checked out. In my reviews I had used the Premier Host filter, so I assumed this was a Premier Host property.

Location saved it
Awkward check in (no keys to downstairs) and a big empty space where tv in main room supposed to be. Beautiful location and house we but all had complaints about our mattresses. Maybe an upgrade in that area will match rest of house. Can’t beat the views though!!!!

Company retreat
My two business partners and I rented this property to do a retreat for a small business the focuses on teaching engineering short courses. The three of us spent the weekend working on our course content. This property was ideal for this activity. Very quite and good web access. It is located a couple of miles from downtown, so we had easy access to grocery shopping, restaurants and the Durango Rec Center. We had all but of one of our meals in the rental and it had all the necessary kitchen items for our meal prep. The rest of the house was very comfortable. I would highly recommend this property. Two minor improvements I'd suggest: 1. one side of the toaster is broken. 2. We could have use some instructions on the radiant heat system. We could not figure out how to lower the temperature. Changing the temperature settings on the thermostats did not seem to change anything.

Beautiful!!!
This house is beautiful with stellar views. We were in Durango for a family wedding, and it was a great gathering spot. The only glitch was that the lower level was locked and we could not access. A call to the property manager was immediately returned however, and the situation remedied. Great spot!!

Beautiful home close to town and trails
Rented house for guys trip. It was awesome. We hiked all day, made dinners at the house and watched the stars at night from the massive deck overlooking the lake. It is fairly secluded yet close to town. I would definitely rent it again.
