  5/5 Stars: A Dream Getaway in Durango, Colorado
  We just returned from an incredible week-long vacation in Durango, Colorado, and I'm still pinching myself to see if it was all just a dream. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for a treat. Our VRBO accommodations, a cozy mountain cabin nestled in the San Juan National Forest, exceeded our expectations in every way.
  The cabin itself was beautifully appointed, with comfortable furnishings, a fully-equipped kitchen, and stunning views of the surrounding mountains from the expansive deck. We spent hours soaking up the sunshine, watching the wildlife, and simply taking in the breathtaking scenery. The owners had thought of every detail, from the fresh flowers on the table to the well-stocked pantry, making us feel right at home.
  But it wasn't just the cabin that made our trip so special – the town of Durango itself is a hidden gem. We spent our days exploring the historic downtown area, browsing the charming shops and galleries, and indulging in the local cuisine. And oh, the food! We discovered some amazing eateries, from the artisanal bakeries to the farm-to-table restaurants, each one serving up delicious, fresh, and creative dishes that showcased the best of the region.
  Some of our favorite experiences included hiking the trails at Mesa Verde National Park the train ride and taking a scenic drive through the San Juan Mountains. And after a long day of adventuring, we'd return to our cozy cabin, build a fire, and watch the stars twinkling above.
  What really made our trip stand out, though, was the warm hospitality of the locals. Everyone we met, from the shopkeepers to the restaurant owners, was friendly, welcoming, and eager to share their knowledge of the area. We felt like we were part of the community, even if only for a short time.
  If you're looking for a relaxing, rejuvenating, and unforgettable getaway, look no further than Durango, Colorado.

  This is a very cute studio apartment perfect for a couple getaway. Very comfortable bed and sofa. You can enjoy a mountain view from the deck. I even had a deer walk pass while I was sitting on the deck!!

  a guest from Austin, TX recommends this vacation rental

  This apartment was perfect for my 5-night stay with my border collie. It exceeded my expectations and was comfortable in every way -- well appointed kitchen (I love to cook), extremely clean, very comfortable bed and sitting area, in a quiet neighborhood. We walked to the river every morning and it's the perfect proximity to all the shops and restaurants I love on Main St. Highly recommend and will return whenever possible.

  • Manager Responded on 9/14/2024

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that the apartment was perfect for you and your border collie.

  Janice S from PLYMOUTH, MI recommends this vacation rental

  This was the perfect studio apartment, located close to downtown Durango. Easy walking distance to the restaurants and shopping. The only issue we had was our dog had a difficult time getting up the stairs since they are like grates. The dog is too big to pick up and carry. Other than that, it was a great stay!

  • Manager Responded on 6/8/2024

    I'm glad to hear you had a great stay overall! It's wonderful that the studio apartment's location made exploring downtown Durango so convenient for you. I understand the challenge with the stairs for your furry friend—it can be tricky when they encounter unfamiliar surfaces. Hopefully, despite that hurdle, you were still able to enjoy your time there to the fullest. Thanks for sharing your experience! -Mackey
