Our family had an amazing Thanksgiving holiday in this rental. It was the perfect getaway to the mountains. The new finishes were a great touch as well. The vacation rental staff was so prompt with any questions that we had throughout our stay. We would recommend this to anyone looking to visit the Durango area and will definitely be visiting this home in the future.

Highly recommend this location for your next vacation rental in Durango, CO. Overall we had an amazing experience not only w/ the house but with the VRC group. The house was in great condition and had all that we needed for our trip. What we loved the most about this rental was the excellent service from the VRC group. They were attentive and answered our questions in record speed. We will continue to use the VRC group for our future trips.
"The Creek House ranks among the most expansive accommodations I've found in the area.Pros: - Very clean - Sauna - Stunning views of the creek, surrounding trees, and wildlife - Clean hot-tub - Great kitchen layout - Well set up areas for socializingCons: - The driveway has significant design flaws, particularly problematic during winter months with recent snowfall. The host's warnings about chains and AWD are not a suggestion; they're a necessity. Be prepared to shovel and salt during your stay. - There are six flights of stairs in this home, which may be challenging for some guests. - The second-floor bathroom shower is very drafty, and the half-shower swing door leaves something to be desired. Additionally, the shower head has been mounted unusually high (about 10 feet up). One of my fellow guests found this shower to be unusable. - While the kitchen is well-stocked with countertop appliances, additional small kitchen hand tools would be appreciated.Overall, our group enjoyed this location, and we would likely stay again.Personal observation: The choice of bathroom sink handles may be perceived as fun by some, but I found them to be kitschy and cheap."

This house was perfect for our large group. We spent the week completely relaxed on the deck, in the hot tub, in the sauna, playing pool and around the fire. We loved being completely surrounded by the mountains!
Our family of 10 recently stayed in this beautiful home as we visited the area for a week. Everything about our stay was wonderful, from the clear and always-immediate communication with the home's owner to Creekside's many amenities. We enjoyed all that the house had to offer and had to drag ourselves away after a too-short stay. Can't say enough great things about this serene and lovely home and would return again in a heartbeat.

Our experience was as positive as one could expect. The home was as represented and met our needs very well. The only slight drawback is the terrain of the property. We had our 4 small grandchildren with us and the steep driveway and surrounding area was a little much for them to ride their bikes etc. In spite of that we had a great time in the area. Wonderful home to spend our annual family vacation.

We had a lovely time in this incredible home. The rushing creek below was intoxicating!! The layout was just perfect for our family of 6. The pool table was a hit with the kids and the oversized bathtub was a hit with me! The kitchen was perfectly stocked and the beds crazy comfortable.
This place was just spectacular! It was more house then we needed, but this would be great for multiple families to enjoy as well. I enjoyed my morning coffee on the deck over looking the creek and the mountainous backdrop and it was so quiet except for wildlife and a mountain breeze. At night the hot tub was great and with all the lights off at the house, the stars lit up the sky. It is close to Durango, Silverton and everywhere in between. Would definitely stay there again. Thank you so much Keith.

We were looking for a Cabin / House for our family of five. This Cabin is amazing, 4-story, two Balconies, Views, Clean, Great Kitchen with lots of supplies. Great Playing Pool and Enjoying the Hot Tub with Views. One of the best Cabins and stays we have had. Would recommend booking this Cabin for large Families and Fun. Will definitely stay here again.
The house was great and had all the items we needed while we were there. It was a short drive to the ski slopes. The beds were comfy. We cooked most of the time while we were there and we liked how they had all the cooking utensils we needed and that they had condiments like salt and pepper to use for our meals. We enjoyed lighting the wood burning fireplace and hanging out after skiing. The only thing we didn't like was the hot tub was a little dirty and had debris floating around. The owner was very easy to communicate with and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

The location of the Rental, maintenance and the condition of the various appliances are amazing. It's even good exercise for everyone as you have to navigate though 4 stairs. The responses from the team on any questions is highly appreciated. we did not have any urgencies to call and find out. Totally its a good experience to have and highly recommend it.
Beautiful location and house with great amenities!
The house is only minutes away from Purgatory ski slopes, and the views are stunningly beautiful. Beds were very comfortable. We loved using the sauna, the hot tub, firepit, fireplaces and pool table. The kitchen was well-appointed and had some of the basics in the pantry (S&P, EVOO, spices, etc...). The large dining table worked well and allowed us to eat all together (6 adults and 5 teens/kids). All 3 of our cars were AWD or 4WD, but when the snow/ice got bad, only the car with chains could make it in/out of the driveway. The road to the house is VERY slow going in the snow, so even though Purgatory is super close, it can take 15 minutes to get down the road. Overall - Great house for a large group!

Reviewer Comments:
We had 9 people in the house for Thanksgiving week — it comfortably slept all of us and the kitchen was equipped well enough to let us cook Thanksgiving dinner. We were very happy that the rental folks recommended 4x4s for our stay — the road leading back to the house was very icy in November, and the steep driveway would've been impossible without the all-wheel-drive rentals. Only real complaint was that the internet was uselessly slow; we all had a bit of work to get done and had to do it in Durango or with hotspots from our phones. Otherwise, a great spot to vacation from — we drove easily to the narrow-gauge Durango rail station, to Mesa Verde, and (slightly less easily) to Moab to play in Jeeps.

Beautiful home with amazing views! Love the layout! Master bath is amazing! Family area very comfortable. It is at least 35 min from Durango so be prepared to be on the road a lot if you aren’t into cooking on vacation. I had read the reviews from last October so I knew there might be a fly problem and there definitely was. The property manager was very helpful though and brought fly swatters and sticky pads. Apparently the flies are bad from Oct-November. They appear in the afternoon on the windows when the sun is out and disappear when the sun goes down. Thankfully they stay around the windows.I was a bit surprised that we were expected to start a load of towels before we left as well as start the dishwasher and clean out the refrigerator. Trash has to be hauled to the main road. All in all we enjoyed this property and all it has to offer.
