"Durango Vacation"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Wife and daughter had previously stayed here. Wife insisted that we stay on this trip as it's been 20+ years since I had been to Durango. We really enjoyed the location and the amenities. We did not have to drive anywhere unless we were headed up the mountain. The staff and facility were fantastic. Breakfast and evening drinks were a bonus. The room was great!
