  Darrell H from Willis, TX recommends this vacation rental

  The Cozy Bear was exactly, if not better than advertised. It made our stay in Durango very comfortable and affordable. Don’t let the value make you think you have to forfeit quality or cleanliness. I have paid more and received less at other places. Thanks for delivering what you promised and even more. Can’t wait until next time!

  • Manager Responded on 4/11/2026

We truly appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you back for your next visit!

  Michael L from Silverthorne, CO recommends this vacation rental

  Nicely updated condo. Super easy access to skiing, just a few minutes walk out the front door and you are the base of the high speed 6 pack. And at the end of the day, find the "secret" trail to ski right back to the front door. Bring your own food to cook in the condo as dining options are limited.

  Just as described, nice little spa onsite. Easy access to the parking lot for loading and unloading gear. This condo has everything you could need for summer and winter stays for a family.
  The house keepers could give a touch better details to under the couch/bed sweeping.
