Guests appreciated the cozy atmosphere, comfortable beds, open living areas, secure loft and bunk space, and a well-stocked kitchen that helped the home feel easy and inviting. The home was also praised for being super clean and well appointed, with a functional layout that gave groups room to spread out. Its peaceful, secluded setting in the pines offered quiet evenings and convenient access to nearby mountain destinations and outdoor activities. Guests especially enjoyed the large deck and porch for relaxing, taking in the breeze, and stargazing, along with beautiful views of the woods, cliffs, and changing leaves. Additional highlights included the fireplace, grill, laundry area, and reliable wifi for everyday use.

A well-loved family friendly cabin in the mountains. Great access to trails, Silverton and Durango. We loved the porch, family room, big dining table and the kids loved the loft. Great stay!

When we first arrived, the stairs were completely covered in thick ice, making it almost impossible to get inside. We had to literally break the ice with a hammer just to clear a path. It was immediately clear that no one had been at the property for quite some time. Adding to the sense of neglect, there were no holiday decorations of any kind, not even a small Christmas touch, which was disappointing during the holiday season. We had rented this same house about four years ago and were hesitant to rent it again because of past issues, but we decided to give it another chance, hoping things might have improved. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. If anything, the house seemed even more neglected this time around. Cleanliness was a major issue throughout the property. We found rat droppings in one of the kitchen drawers, in the downstairs bathroom, and even inside the kitchen trash cans. The entire house was filled with cobwebs, which gave the impression that it hadn’t been properly cleaned in a long time. There were also several functional problems. The toilet handle in the upstairs bathroom kept falling off, making it difficult to use. The electrical system seemed faulty as well, with the breaker tripping every time certain lights were turned on. These were basic issues that should have been addressed before any guests arrived. Overall, it felt like the host or cleaning crew rarely, if ever, checks on the property. The lack of care and attention to detail was glaring. Between the cleanliness issues, maintenance problems, and absence of even a small effort to create a festive holiday atmosphere, the house felt completely uninviting and neglected.
