Phone service, beds
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.

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.

Off the beaten path and nestled in the woods
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.

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.

We had a wonderful time in Durango. The location is perfect and glad we had 4 wheel drive to access the snow covered road leading up to the property. It is secluded and the drive to it looks like a winter wonderland . The barndo was cozy but had plenty of room. The only thing missing is a hot tub.

Beautiful location in the forest.
The house was located on a beautiful forest. A few issues that we found once we arrived we were limited to the property and was not allowed to explore. The neighboring property which was just 15 feet behind the house was off limits. The other issue was we were not allowed to have a few guest over for a visit. We were told that we were limited to the number of guest registered to stay. I felt that this information should have been divulged as part of the description.

We are a super picky family that only stay at premium homes.. This is by far the best home we have ever stayed at!!! The home is so beautiful! New, very clean and fully stocked. With so much to do in town we made sure we took the time to enjoy ourselves at the house. Relaxing on the patio and soaking up natures smell & sounds. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Durango!

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.

This house was exactly what we were hoping for. It was not too far away from downtown, had surprisingly fast wifi so we could all still take meetings over Zoom and we even saw a few deer right out the window.

Flawless setting on a heavily wooded mountain.
Breathtaking property! Fully stocked and ready for your family in typical weather. We arrived just before a snow storm hit and found that the house was a bit unprepared for the weather. Electricity went out many times, no snow shovel available, no TV or WIFI many times. Could not call out. A back up generator is a big ask, but would be helpful. There were no flashlights found. A snow shovel should be provided for guest use, as no path or exit in snowy conditions is unsafe. For us, this was a big concern with 2 little girls and a 94 year old man. Water pressure is very low in the kitchen and doesn’t really get hot, but the dishwasher did a great job. The upstairs bathroom seems to have the best pressure and temperature. All things considered, it was a beautiful home, a lovely stay, and we enjoyed it very much. Would definitely go back again, but would need a shovel and an emergency alert just in case!

Wonderful property in the heart of nature!
We had a wonderful stay! This is a beautiful property and looks exactly like the photos. We stayed here while we were in Durango for our son’s wedding, and it was the perfect home base for us. We had a very busy weekend and it was such a treat to be able to come home to such a peaceful location. Only about 15 minutes to downtown, but it felt a world away. We had lots of morning coffee on the back patio and enjoyed the lovely fireplace. The bed in the master may be the softest, most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. One downside—the beds in the other bedrooms are quite firm and could use mattress toppers, but if you like a firmer bed it won’t be an issue. Even our dog had a wonderful time! It took us 15 minutes to get her into our car to leave for Denver this morning! She did not want to leave! Thanks for a great stay. We’ll be back!

Too dictatorial with rules (and dirty bed linens…)
I get that property owners can have rules, but the long list of ‘additional requirements’ that must be followed or ‘additional fees may apply’ really set off a vacation on the wrong note. Further, and disgustingly, while most of the property was clean, upon pulling back the comforter of the master bed, the grey blanket underneath obviously had either blood or feces on it. Needless to say I had to wash everything before sleeping in the bed. Don’t mean to be too picky, but honestly, I’ve been on the road for 11 months now, and this was a disappointment, especially for the money.

Wonderful stay in Durango Pines
My husband and I (and our dog) had a wonderful stay in the Durango pines in this well appointed barndominium! It had everything we needed and more! The internet service was fantastic! The porch was our favorite spot and was a great way to unwind under the stars with the relaxing sounds of the forest. It’s an easy drive into downtown Durango and all the amenities it has to offer. Can’t wait to stay here again! Highly recommended!!!!!
