The cabin location was good, and the heads up on 4x4/awd was great, as it was muddy when i went and a 2 whd would have not made it up the steep hill. The cabin: at face value it gives woodsy cabin vibes. Along with that are some cons Cons: mousetraps.. my children found them. Glad they knew better not to touch. But a smaller child might have grabbed the one behind the fire place. Mouse droppings. These were found in the lower shower and at all the the window sills. Bugs. Elderbugs galore. I lost cound at how many we killed. The stove that was there, had one burner that was not functional. A lamp in the bunk bed room was not functional, and was structurally not sound. One of the bunkbeds was two twin beds with makeshift brackets holding them together, which was a bit nerve wrecking, as some ove them were loose. Some dishes were not clean to start. The house seemed to have lots of cracks. Maybe where bugs and mice get in? Pros. Heating was good. There was plenty of hot water. There was a good coffee pot. Plenty of beds. The outside was awesome, next to the river. (Cant beat that!) Replacement of some pans would be cool. We arent chefs by any means, but the pans have seen better days. Property management: I called them a few times, and they were great. The were most courteous and informative. They did advise that there was intent on replacing the range/stove. I, we, cannot say enough about the location. We loved being by the river. Overall, it was a good visit/stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is in the perfect location! Close to downtown, 2 minutes from Home Depot and Walmart. Being right on the animas river was so relaxing and peaceful. We loved the location but we’re a little disappointed with the description of the house versus what it actually was. I specifically searched for 3 bedrooms because 3 families with kids and dogs were coming. We all needed separate bedrooms, but one of the ‘bedrooms’ does not have a door and you have to pass through it to go to another bedroom. It’s right when you go into the basement with an open staircase so noise leaks in from the living room and kitchen. This was very frustrating seeing as we had young children who we wanted to put to sleep earlier and then adults hang out in the shared spaces but had to be extremely quiet because of the lack of a 3rd bedroom. I’d really hope that they change their description of the house or enclose that bedroom somehow. Was also a little disappointed with all the rat poop and mouse traps everywhere - thankfully we didn’t see one but it just felt a little gross. Was also disappointed that the outside gas firepit was broken - that was another big sell of this house to us. But regardless of that, we spent most of our time outside in the yard, which is beautiful. The house could just use a TLC. Property management company was extremely helpful and responsive! Tried sending out a tech to fix the firepit but we were leaving the next day.

My wife and I moved to the Double Tree hotel after the first night. Our son and fiancée moved from the basement to the upstairs bedroom where there were fewer bugs. The basement bedroom is tiny with no windows. The location is nice and the place would be good for two adults with children, but only if the bug problem is addressed. My future daughter in law got bit by something while sleeping. Very disappointing.

Everything was great for our stay. Well located for our needs, quiet, river next to the property. Only problem was in the listing not stating that there are no bedrooms on the main floor, lots of steep stairs up and down to bedrooms, second thoughts for elderly folks, such as my mother in law, who went with us. We were able to make a bed with the couch and a mattress, we worked it out.

Extremely well maintained cabin and clean which is the most important to me. Property managers were quick to respond to any questions. Stairs were steep, but the house was perfect.

Short drive to downtown. Plenty of property space if you bring pets. Just a couple things to point out: If you have mobility issues, be aware that the two flights of stairs inside the property are really steep. The water pressure in the main kitchen sink is not good at all. This makes for a pain when cleaning dishes as there is no dishwasher. The internet does not work at all. A new router is needed. I tried to reset it multiple times as stated in the instructions for check in. I even left it unplugged overnight to reset it, still didn’t work. Just a few issues that could use some attention.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property seemed to be ideal on paper, but wasn’t. If you have any physical disability or very small children, do not stay here. All bedrooms require going up or down some sketchy stairs. We worried about our elderly dog as well. The promised child gate never came. This cabin has only one fairly useless A/C unit, so it gets hot when Durango temperatures are in the 90’s. We brought fans with us thank goodness. Get ready for spiders on the bottom floor. They showed up in tub and near back door almost every day. This property needs an overhaul. Please throw away the “pink”cushions! No one will sit on those.On the plus side, close to River, but couldn’t use the fire pit because of fire restrictions. Also, very close to shopping and restaurants. Five minutes to downtown.
