The home was perfect, the views were incredible

Great cabin with nice amenities and off the beaten path. Caution with the water use and know there is no cell service in the immediate area. WiFi works great though.

You can’t beat the views of this house! We really enjoyed sitting out on the patio each morning and evening with the views of the lake. Great stay!

My husband and I brought our dog with us on our second trip to the experience the incredible beauty of Durango while escaping the Arizona heat. We were seeking a property removed from the city and offering incredible views of the forest, wildlife and mountains. While the cabin did offer beautiful views of the lake while sitting on the deck and allowed us to see some of the local wildlife, we were not expecting another property so close to where we were staying and thought more trails would be on the property. However, our biggest disappointment was inside the cabin. The railings on the interior staircase are loose, creating a hazard. Flyswatters were in multiple locations throughout the house, offering a less than desirable effect. This fly issue was particularly evident at the kitchen door area. As a result, we opened this door when absolutely necessary. Although one main goal was to have a forest experience, we did not expect it to include fly infestation. While offered use of the spices in the pantry, all were expired. We both used the downstairs shower since the upstairs was smaller than the photo, but my first use revealed a large clump of hair in the drain. Similar circumstances existed with the dryer vent when I washed towels and found the dryer lint filter completely overflowing. Taken individually, these may seem like minor details but for the price paid and expectations given, unfortunately the conditions at the historic log cabin fell short.
