Beautiful Views, Private, 15 Minutes to Skiing!

Vista Views is the perfect getaway for a peaceful family vacation. The warm, modern, and newly updated home has plenty of space for both family activities and privacy. It is conveniently located only 15 minutes north of historic downtown Durango and 20 minutes south of Purgatory Ski Resort. Located on a private street, the home is nestled among tall pine trees with amazing views of the red cliffs, and bordering National Forest almost guarantees you the chance of seeing the abundant wildlife in the area. The Spring months bring the relaxing sounds of the creek running on the property.

Once inside, you'll be welcomed by the open, single level floor plan. The kitchen is a cooks delight with plenty of counter space, pantry, and all new appliances! The adjacent dining room has a large dining table with enough seating for eight and the sliding glass door allows easy access to the deck and convenient location of the BBQ grill. The living room has a comfy, oversized couch and a 2-sided wood burning fireplace. Down the hallway you will find all three bedrooms. The kids' room has 3 twin beds (one is a bunkbed) and TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed and wall mounted TV. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, TV, and en-suite bathroom. For your convenience, there is a laundry room complete with washer/dryer located inside just off the oversized 2 car garage.

Bed Configuration:
Master Bedroom - King bed (Main Level)
2nd Bedroom - Queen bed (Main Level)
3rd Bedroom - Twin Over Twin + Single Twin (Main Level)

Would stay here again
As we have aged it seems that it is getting harder to find a rental in the area that is one story. We enjoyed the location and the house was perfect fir us. The wild turkey visits were fun to watch. We would love to stay here next fall.

Dirt bike escape
We have been going to Durango for 3 years to ride dirt bikes in the mountains. This place was great because there was plenty of room for sleeping and dinners but having access to the garage to store the bikes at night was awesome. Everything worked at the house and it had all the necessary equipment to make breakfast for 5 guys before we headed ride. We would stay there again. Enjoy.

Great Stay
We enjoyed staying here. Very nice place with a secluded feel and the location was great. Our favorite thing about the place (since we had our toddler with us) was the single floor layout and the easy access (no steps to enter or steep drop offs around the property). It made for a relaxing trip and we would stay here again.

San Juan Mountain Home
This was a very special return to the Durango area for me after almost 50 years since attending Ft Lewis College. We looked for a property convenient to Durango and to the spectacularly scenic San Juan Mountains for day excursions, while also offering a peaceful and comfortable setting at days end. All reviews for this property stressed the beautiful views from the back deck and I can only add how much we enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck watching the sun rise over the Animas River Valley and disappear over the western mountains at night. The small gated community ensures privacy and peaceful quiet. The house was beautifully appointed with all possible conveniences. The very comfortable beds and cool quiet mountain air made for very restful nights. We took full advantage of all the outdoor adventures offered in this unforgettable region of Colorado: hiking, biking, high mountain basin jeep tour, driving the scenic Million Dollar Highway to Silverton and Ouray (or save the driving and take the Durango-Silverton Train). The aspen leaves were just starting their annual turn to brilliant yellow, a sight you can't soon forget. This house is your perfect base camp for an amazing trip to this region. For skiers, it's less than 30 minutes to the Purgatory Ski area. For spa enthusiasts, the Durango Hot Springs spa less than a mile down the road is not to be missed. The guest book in the house will lead you to other special treats in the area. We can't wait to return.

We loved this property. The setting is beautiful and it’s in a great location. The house was clean and we really liked the layout. We were celebrating my sister’s birthday and the house was perfect for our family - 3 of my sisters, sister’s boyfriend and my niece. We were very happy with this house and would recommend it without hesitation!

Peaceful oasis
We enjoyed our stay at Vista Views. We went to celebrate my daughters birthday. We also brought along our 2 dogs and they seemed to adjust very well after the first night. The home is very comfortable and inviting. We got to see tons of Turkeys, and a few squirrels. Durango downtown is about a 10-15 minute drive. We will definitely be back!

Durango Get away
The house was a great size and had beautiful view. The property management company was easy to work with and responsive to our needs. My only issues were: toilets (especially master bath) did not work well and hot water ran out very quickly. We had to have a plumber come in and look at it. But, it is a nice property and well priced. I would not stay there again unless the toilet and hot water issues were taken care of though. When you have 7 people staying in a house those things are very important.

Deck with a view
A quick trip with my mom and uncle to avoid the summer heat. We enjoyed eating on the deck and appreciating the cool temperatures and the view. The house was well equipped and labeled. Easy access to groceries and Durango. We enjoyed playing bumper pool for the first time. It was nice to have a grill. The pictures are accurate. The king and queen rooms have ac. The three twin beds is where I slept with the window open and fan it was pleasant. It would be fun to stay here in the fall with the leaves changing and the fireplace. I would recommend staying here.
