December 2022Better than the pictures & excellent stay...
Our stay at DG's home in Durango was fantastic! The location is slightly outside of town but the views are out of this world. The house was immaculately clean and the hosts were great at communicating and very helpful during our stay. We arrived late at night and didn't realize how great the mountain views were from the inside. The estate is very private and on a large piece of property. Definitely worth the visit and we'll definitely be coming back. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you're visiting in the winter, it's worth having an all-wheel drive as the roads can get piled with snow quickly, but they have on-site staff who clean it shortly after a snowfall. Overall, a great experience!”
