The home was very well appointed to be able to be comfortable . We had 4 adults and 3 kids and there was plenty of room to be comfortable and space for the kids to play and do crafts . The kitchen has everything to need to cook meals and even some extras like a George Forman grill Bed in the master was super comfortable and the sheets were nice and soft, pillows were very comfortable as well . Over all great BNB !
Perfect spot out of town and very private. Home is almost perfect. Highly recommend only two notes master bed does not have a tv and home does not have ac however it was comfortable temperature in the home.
Nice little place, peaceful, quiet, tons of wildlife. Bring your own coffee or K-cups. We had no phone service at property aside from WiFi (perfect for peaceful retreat). Saw 3 spiders in our short 2 night stay so if you don’t like spiders might not be your place!
Beautiful location feels secluded while still being close to town. Very responsive communication. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our thanksgiving meal. Would stay again.
Spent 5 days in Durango with our two grand daughters at the Barndominion! What a wonderful experience! The home was clean, kitchen well stocked, but the best part of our stay was the location and all the wildlife that came to visit while we were there. We will definitely plan to book here again. Checkin was easy and experience was wonderful!
Perfect for our needs. Very comfortable, the whole family enjoyed it. Loved being back in the pines away from other homes, felt like a real retreat. The parade of wild turkeys and a couple of deer the morning we left was a special treat. Completely satisfied, no complaints.
House was great. Listing sud have said it was up winding road into mountains. It gave distanced to everything but did not know about entry. We did fine but wud have liked to know this. House was immaculate and very comfortable

The place was nice but there was no AC. Interior temp was regularly around 84 degrees. A couple cheap box fans were provided but made little difference. Nowhere to go on walks near the house since private property is 15 feet away. The place was very clean and the inside was wonderful. About a 15 minute drive to downtown.
The home is spacious. The six of us were quite comfortable. We did not feel cramped at all. The bunk room was perfect for three kids. The master bed was so comfortable my husband wanted to bring it home.Laundry was great!We could only get You-Tube on any of the TV's. The DVD player in the bunk room did NOT work. The fireplace did not work.This isn't in the listing description:Though the home is in the middle of a forest you are NOT permitted to go for a walk. You are restricted to the property boundary which is very limited.
Barndominium provided a quite and scenic location, tastefully appointed decor, comfortable sleeping accommodations, and basic necessary amenities.However, as a guest, I have reasonable expectations of clean towels and feel justified in taking exception with the condition of those which we were presented with. Several of the bath/body and hand towels were dingy in appearance, emitted a slight musty odor, and had hairs on/woven within the fibers.While this may have been a laundry oversight, it was disconcerting, nonetheless, and did not make for an all-around pleasant stay experience. In addition to the towel issue, there was a low supply of toilet paper provided. We did have enough for our stay, but it caused an uneasy thought of running out. We were staying on business and did not have the time to reach out during our stay. Although, had we done so, I feel confident that our issues would have been resolved accordingly.
We were very pleased with this home! This spaceous house was perfect for us. Beds were comfortable. Three bathrooms was what we needed. Home was clean. Gas fireplace we did use and it came on easily. Daily the wild turkeys and mule deer greeted us at sunrise in the backyard or access road or both. Hummingbirds frequented the porch flowers. Great kitchen design for 4 adults working simultaneously at breakfast time. The master bath on the first floor had a feature I really liked, separate water closet from the sink & shower areas and it all was tucked behind a sliding barn door. We kept the heat off and opened the bedroom windows at night. Perfect sleeping for the beautiful down comforters. Last 3/4 mile of access road leading up to the house is unpaved gravel but in exceptionally good condition.

House is standing on a most amazing piece of land if you want to escape from daily routine it's a perfect place you surrounded by nature!!! House it's self it's good too but no air conditioning so it was hot 🥵 and cabinets in a kitchen are flimsy so be careful how you open !! Everything was good except I was disappointed that house is not clean dirty silverware bathroom mats not white but brown and sheets smelled like sweat so I washed everything next day
Spider webs everywhere on a ceiling light fixtures and they saying that they have service who cleans the house really floors haven't been washed since probably house was built we don't walk with shoes in a house but barefoot bottom of your feet turns black socks went in a garbage too they left broom and vacuum so they should provide bucket with mops so we can buy floor cleaner and wash them If I would have this property I would check what kind of job maids doing !!!!!! The bed skirt it's so dirty and put on not wrong so list can go on
But we enjoy our stay after we cleaned and first morning I saw bobcat out of my bedroom window downstairs we slept with open windows it was awesome !! Thank you again for the opportunity to stay in this amazing location!!!
First off, it was a peaceful place. The Russian sage brought in the hummingbirds, and we seen lizards and deer, which was amazing! Cleanliness, was not up to my standards! We found crumbs and trash underneath chairs drawers. Inside drawers were filthy. My bathtub downstairs was dirty had hair in it!!! bedrooms… the downstairs bedroom was fine, except for the bed was so uncomfortable. I wound up, sleeping in the recliner in the living room, and there was no TV in that bedroom, the upstairs bedrooms with the king. Bed was the same way as far as the bad being so uncomfortable, you couldn’t sleep my sister wound up, going to the bedroom with the bunkbeds and slept in there, which was a little better, the coffee pot was filthy underneath. The sink was filthy. The trashcan was very dirty, I spilled water on the floor and a paper towel. Wipe it up with, and it came back. The floors were mopped and cleaned. The description of the property was not fully disclosed about the phone service and Internet service ! And that we really couldn’t go for a walk because the property is deadlocked to other peoples property and it was made perfectly clear by directions in the house that we could not step past that property line. Location was I have to say I give it a three star , because the beds were so uncomfortable we couldn’t sleep in them and the phone service was horrible and the cleanliness was not good to my standards.
Quiet but close to activities! We loved staying in the barndo so much so, we might build one!

Loved Staying at the Barndominium!
We had a great stay at the Barndominium in Durango. The property was beautiful and very clean. The indoor space was plenty big for our group of 5, including seating in the dining area and the living room. We also enjoyed the peaceful outdoor space. Would definitely stay here again!
Gorgeously decorated, super clean, fabulous VRBO home on the mountain. Check in and check out were very easy and the house was stocked with kitchen and bath essentials. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed our stay at this barndominium. It is so clean and nicely decorated. Beautiful location! The beds are comfy! It is a wonderful place to stay!! Hope to come back to Durango and we will definitely book this place again! The ice maker didn’t have ice. That is the only thing I can say that wasn’t *****!

Great family vacation
We had a great time at the Barndominium. It was just enough outside of town that we were able to see turkeys, deer, and elk all walk through the property during our stay. It was still close enough to town that it didn't feel like too much of a drive to visit the restaurants and shops on main street. Beds were comfortable and open floorplan between the kitchen, family room, and dining area created a great space for our family to hang out.
We would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay at Barndominium, it's a quiet neighborhood just outside of the hustle and bustle of Durango. Pretty views out of all of the windows and a few curious deer kept us company as we ate on the patio.
