We enjoyed the tranquil setting and the on site amenities. Figure about 30 minutes in to downtown Durango in the summer months. Can’t beat the views on the drive though!
We loved our time in Durango! The condo was clean, comfortable and perfect for our family. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again!
The place was nice and clean, it could have been a little more updated in the bathrooms .AC had a hard time keeping the loft area cool. The beds were comfortable.
The property is in a beautiful location. The views from the condo are just amazing especially in the master bedroom. The condo is well stocked with tools needed to cook in the condo. My teens enjoyed the pool. The workout room was also a huge bonus.
Nice property! The master bedroom is very comfortable. The condo was very clean and quiet. The amenities at the club are excellent.
Only "con" was that the stove and oven are smaller than standard appliances, but not a big deal.
The condo was perfect for our group of 6. The kids loved the upstairs loft. We had plenty of room to relax, cook, and play. Our 7 year old loved the cabinet full of games. Everything was spacious and comfortable! We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and small playground. The location and views were beautiful!
We chose this location based on the proximity to both Durango and Purgatory resort. The drive was about 10 minutes to Purgatory and 20 minutes to Durango, which was perfect. The unit was clean and well equipped; it had pretty much everything we needed. It had a small, but well-equipped kitchen. It had a full-sized washer and dryer.

We loved our stay at Tamarron Lodge in 515! The unit was large and well stocked. The views from the living room and main bedroom were amazing! It was a short drive up the mountain to go ski at Purgatory. The amenities were great. Would stay here again.
It was very cozy. Super comfy beds. Would definitely would stay again

Prefect for a family of five. Plenty of room and has everything you need to cook meals. The views are awesome and my kids had a great time exploring the area around the resort.
A little warm but plenty of fans!!! The smoke detector went off chirping. We had to take the batteries out, and they finally came the next day and fixed it but other than that, a great view and a great place to stay. We would stay here again.

Very nice place and amenities and covered all our needs. We enjoyed the stay and will be back to Durango / Tamarron at a later stay. Only issue was the heat in the upper bedroom - the sun during day time made it too hot for anyone to sleep upstairs but we made it work with sleeping on the couch.

We regularly rent this condo as it's clean, well appointed and located on the top floor (corner) so it's very private. The condo has recently come into new ownership and many of the amenities have been upgraded. The owners are clearly very organized and involved in maintaining the property for their guests. They also left a lovely note that talks about future upgrades they plan to make to the property which we appreciate for future stay consideration. The overall property has many activities for both the winter and summer seasons along with two on-site restaurants (one plant based, one bar/grill) with a third being constructed this winter. The property is also located 8 minutes from the ski mountain with a daily shuttle during ski season. You will NOT be disappointed :)
