"We (family of 5) had a great time staying at the house on Hermosa Creek. My two granddaughters, age 10 and 7, loved playing on the grounds, jumping over the small brook that ran by the house, and playing in the creek. The house was lovely, comfortable, and well-stocked. The hosts got back to us right away when we had a question and were good about communicating with us about some hiccups that were out of their control (e.g. an internet outage). They also recommended some really good places to eat. We will definitely try to stay there when we go to Durango again and will recommend it to our friends. "

"The cabin on the James Ranch had a lovely old ranch charm with a modernized twist. It was both 1898 and 2025 which is exactly for what we hoped! The cabin was very well appointed and we especially appreciated the hot water kettle. Thank you, Julie!"

"Great home for a family reunion!"

"We have stayed here three times. We love the cottages and the beautiful landscaping throughout the property. Breakfast is delicious. "

"First off, the setting and scenery were amazing, we were here in the summer, and the grounds with the rivers and flowers were really amazing. We had a multigenerational group of 14, and it fit us well. The large open kitchen and living room, with large dining tables inside and out were great for our group to prepare and eat large meals.The bunk room was great for all of the kids, and had its own bathroom.Three other rooms upstairs were good for adults, and shared one bathroom, which was a little tight, but with a little communication about showering, etc. was workable.The downstairs master suite was huge, with walk-in closet, shower with multiple spray nozzles, etc. Very nice space.We did have an issue with the AC upstairs one day, and management company was able to send someone to fix next day. It did seem like a known issue (the AC guy knew what the issue was before he got there).For a place that is a premium place, it also seemed a little stingy on the amenities. Arrival instructions before we arrived said that the place came with one roll of paper towels, one trash bag per can, and two rolls of TP per bathroom. Not that big of a deal because we had to go the grocery store anyway, but I’ve stayed in much more budget places that had plenty of TP, enough coffee for every day, etc. so it seemed a little misaligned with how nice everything else was. Overall, an amazing place, and I’d go back, but adding these notes for transparency,"

"One of the best VRBO's that we have stayed in. Very clean and well equipped. Very quiet and a beautiful view out to the backyard and the creek. Indeed a slice of heaven. We loved it all!!!"

"Fabulous cabin!!!!"

"Great"

"All 6 families (from 5 different cities) agreed this place was a perfect place to celebrate our family birthdays. We took advantage of the location and spent time at James Ranch and Durango Hot Springs and Spa. Both were ideal for our group with adults and toddlers. There was more than enough room to spread out for our 10 adults and 2 kids. The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. The kitchen was very well appointed for the meals we cooked ourselves. There were lots of toys for the kids and plenty of activities for all ages. Property manager was very quick to reply to my questions before and during our stay. "
