Great family ski rental

We loved this property! It had everything we needed and more, stocked with all the little amenities like lotion and bath salts. Our family of five relaxed here while we spent a few days skiing at Purgatory resort which was an easy drive. The hot tub was great and game room kept the kids happy.

Three generations of our family stayed in this wonderful home. It was perfect for our family of 7, ranging in age from 8-76. The house is lovely, had everything we needed, well-located to Durango and surrounding area. We enjoyed the outside dining area and yard with pretty flowers in bloom.

Great Family home!

I will start with the fence for the dogs since it is rare to find fenced properties in the area. It met the requirements to keep my elder dogs inside the massive yard they have. Other details include the massive space you get with the house inside. This was definatley a great spot to stay away from the city but close enough to be able to order food delivery.
