The home has been completely remodeled offering a fantastic gourmet kitchen and modern bathrooms as well as AC but also retains its original charm. The property also features a fenced yard, outdoor covered space and a seasonal irrigation creek that runs thru the property.

Outstanding stay. The kitchen was perfect for cooking Turkey day dinner for 6. The beds were very comfortable. The house was well stocked with Dishes, pans etc.. The location was beautiful and centrally located between town and Purg ski area. We would def stay here again.
Cool place to stay with great outdoor features. Love the deep porch and the surrounding bluff and countryside.

Quaint, so much wild life was pretty awesome. Hiking around the property was wonderful.
Visited Durango this past week and enjoyed our time at this cabin. It's close to town but feels like you're in the middle of the mountains. Lots of wildlife each day including elk and turkeys. Great kitchen and outdoor space. Plenty of room for family...definitely a peaceful retreat. Small fenced yard was perfect for dogs. Highly recommend!
This house was super easy to find, has updated amenities and amazing showers! We loved our stay and were able to hike up the hill that was within walking distance. Turkeys and elk greeted us every morning and evening. Loved it!

The house was in great shape and well stocked. The location was ideal, close to grocery store and very convenient for accessing hiking between Durango and Silverton. The large expanse of grass was perfect for our pup, it even has a dog run with doggy door. Great communication from management.

This was our third extended stay at Rock House - and there’s many reasons we keep coming back. There’s just not another property in the Rockies that compares. Privacy, beauty, wildlife, proximity to necessities while giving a “cabin in the woods” feel. It’s VERY Special.

We had simply a wonderful winter vacation at the cozy Rockhouse! It was very well equipped with all we needed! Loved the surrounding views and the privacy of the 3 acres. Our doodle Hank enjoyed the ability to explore the property and play in the snow as did our 4 year old grandson! We were treated every morning and evening to a large group of turkeys making their way to and from roosting! Everyone loved the steam shower!! Convenient location to town or Purgatory. Very comfortable beds and beautiful renovated kitchen.

This was our 3rd summer staying at the rock house. I can not imagine a more perfect place to stay. It is stocked with all the kitchen silverware, utensils, pots pans and dishes one could want. The bedrooms bathrooms and sitting areas are very well done and very clean and neat. The setting is fantastic with places for the dog and a covered outside area to suit all your needs. It is very private, quiet, and secure with a large lawn in the front and back. All of which is perfectly maintained. This is definitely a 5 star vacation home.
Honestly, this is the best rental property we've ever stayed at. You're about 20 minutes north of Durango, but very close to the highway and it's easy to get to town or north to Purgatory/Silverton.
The property has a full kitchen with all of the kitchen-y stuff you'd need (honestly, we were taking pictures of things in this kitchen we want to add to our own house). There's a full gas/propane dual fuel grill as well out back.
The yard is perfect for your four legged friends, and the rest of the house is great for a longer-term stay (great bathrooms -- jacuzzi tub) and the laundry units in the basement.
But what really sets this property apart is the responsiveness of the VRC staff. We got in pretty late, but they still checked in on us to make sure that we got in the house okay, and they were responsive via text the whole time we were there.
We're definitely going to be making a return visit!
A beautiful, peaceful getaway on the outskirts of Durango for our family!

The location is spectacular and the home is beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back.
We had a wonderful vacation in Durango staying at this property. We loved the location - gorgeous views, peace and quiet, and lots of space for our teenage kids to run around with the dog. The house was comfortable and had all that we needed. I enjoyed the beautiful kitchen and bathroom. I wish we could have stayed for a month!
A perfect place and setting for our dogs and us! It’s such a special place. Wildlife visits, beautifully remodeled home on a beautiful property, quiet and relaxing with all the comforts of home. The master king bed was incredibly comfortable. We were thankful for AC as temps were warmer than expected. Cool nights helped our restfulness. The pictures on VRBO didn’t do justice to the actual setting. We will return!
This property is wonderful. The setting is perfect, it is clean, well stocked with cooking and bath items and makes for a very restful quite vacation. We have been here twice now and have made reservation for next year. This is truly home away from home.
