We had plenty of space. Comfortable seating in the living room. Comfortable beds. It would have helpful to have instructions for the SMEG coffee maker. Outdoor seating with beautiful trees. We would go back to this home.

Nice house

Nice house. TV’s in bedrooms would be nice. Curtains in the bathroom with the claw foot tub would REALLY be nice. Hot water heater ran out of gas but the management team was quick to reply and was able to get it filled the next day. I’d book with them again

Beautiful Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home has been recently updated and worked out perfectly for our family of six adults and three children. Great location and the property around the house was beautiful. Very private with no neighbors close by. Beds were comfortable and living area was a nice size open to the kitchen. Check in and out went smoothly and we would consider this house again when visiting Durango.

Comfy, Quiet, & Spacious

The reality exceeded our expectations! Spacious, Quiet, and Perfectly Located. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous amount of space in this listing, far more than the photos convey. Its proximity to Durango was ideal, making our last-minute booking feel like stumbling upon a hidden treasure. Despite reading about previous plumbing issues in reviews, we encountered none during our stay, indicating that any prior concerns have been effectively addressed. The only downside, if any, was the absence of air conditioning. However, the warmth of late May was manageable, and the house remained comfortable throughout the day. An unexpected delight was the welcome box provided, stocked with essentials like dish soap, a sponge, laundry pods, and more. Accessing the property was simple, and the presence of a small river at the back offered a serene backdrop. Without hesitation, we highly recommend this property and look forward to returning ourselves.

Only cons-horrible water pressure and no extra trash bags.

Great location

Beautiful property with great space for everyone in our party. Would have been perfect except when we unplugged the 10 scent warmers and had management close the three broken open windows the smell of the septic made one of the restrooms and bedrooms uncomfortable. The very helpful gentleman that brought firewood and propane said they needed a plumber to fix it, but a plumber did not come during our stay so we were stuck with the awful smell.

Absolutely outstanding!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Hesperus house was perfect our families vacation. Every room was unique, spacious with large comfortable beds. The family room, kitchen open concept allowed everyone to enjoy one another company. The house is a short 18 minute drive to Durango. My only recommendation is that the rental agency purchase new hair dryer, the only one all three bathrooms kept over heating. Individuals with one thick hair would never be able to get their hair dried.

Best 1st time VRBO experience!

My family and had never tried VRBO before, and all I can say is WOW, it was an amazing experience! It’s rare, but I feel like the home looked better than the pictures, the rooms were big, the home had everything we could have needed, and more! The home was stunning and it was only 15 minutes away from Durango! The best part about it, is unlike other similar sites, we didn’t have a long list of chores before we left. Although we did leave the home in great condition, it was nice not to have a chore list. My family and I are planning another stay in this rental and definitely using VRBO again!

Awesome House

Great stay in Hesperus❣️ We came for the annular eclipse. Our group traveled from Northern New York State and locally near Denver. We spent a day at Mesa Verde…easy travel. Great location for the eclipse. Loved the house…the kitchen was amazing and had just about everything we needed. Bedrooms and bathrooms were fabulous. Lots of towels and plenty of bedding supplies. Lots of unique designs to the interior. Nice touches in every room. Great soap and room scents. The property is just pretty. Lots of outdoor seating. There are 2 fireplaces and a wood stove. We did not need to use them but they look so nice. Not much for groceries/supplies in Hesperus. Stop in Durango on the way in for those things.
