Wonderful home headquarters
Our stay at the Whistle Stop couldn’t have been better. The home was very comfortable with great kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom accommodations. Charlotte was great with answering questions and providing needed info. Thank you Charlotte for the opportunity to stay in your property.

Best vacation ever
The house is absolutely beautiful and sparklingly clean. I loved the location, secluded but only 15 minutes from town. The Durango - Silverton Train passed by 6 times a day. My grandkids always ran outside to wave at the passengers. You could hardly hear the train from inside the house, but I found myself listening for it so I wouldn’t miss running out to wave. The kitchen is a cook’s dream. Every room had a view. My favorite part was sitting on the deck early each morning watching the birds and four magnificent bucks grazing in the yard. I did not want to leave. Charlotte and Marvin were great hosts. Very easy to reach via text. I had no problems with anything in the house.

Amazing stay in Durango!
Whistle run is an absolutely beautiful property managed by amazing hosts. The home is very clean and well supplied with everything you need and is in a perfect location for lots of activities. . The views are fantastic and the Durango to Silverton train running through the back is a real highlight. We feel very fortunate to have booked Whistle Run for our family vacation in Durango.
