Our family enjoyed this spot due to its location! Every activity we planned was within close proximity to our rental. Nice and quiet place to enjoy the wide life and to watch the golfers! The kids enjoyed the indoor and the outdoor pools as well at the hot tub! The grill food was excellent! Staff were very friendly! Grounds very well maintained! Overall our family had an awesome vacation!

I love this place, everything was pretty nice and as shown in the pictures. The only thing that was a problema was that 2 people cannot get in the shower at the same time, cause the hot water is not enough. Despite that, we have a great time.

We enjoyed our stay at Gambel Oak 796 very much. The unit was stocked with everything we needed and more. Our only complaint was the very poor television service through the old TV using Dish Network.
We had to change our original vacation plans quickly due to COVID & flying from AZ. We booked this 3 days prior to arriving and it was such a great backup plan! Easy drive from Denver (for 1 family member) and from AZ. It exceeded our expectations from the start. Staff very accommodating and we have a terrific stay!
It’s was perfect, matched the subscription perfectly.

We really enjoyed the location. Perfectly situated between the city of Durango and Purgatory ski resort. The condo also delivered the amenities of a resort but the feel of a private home.
Beautiful condo but not a good one for older people due to minimal light and not able to do stairs alot. Beautiful scenery and pool area. Only had 1 small pkg of coffee for 7 zdults for a 4 night stay..

The condo was great with the exception of ants on the bottom floor. I'm sure if we had contacted management, they would have sprayed however we did not want to remove our items and children were in our group. Other than the ants, the stay was great
The condo was perfect gor our family of 11. Conditions were great for snow activities . we enjoyed Bowl games, Food and Family time. Despite calls the Dish kept going off and was frustrating. we had checked to see if kitchen had items to cook yet no measuring cups or spoons and no pie pans . we did not find a first aid kit

Reviewer Comments:
The unit was a nice size however it was pretty worn and dated and very very dark... a lot of the blinds throughout the unit were either inoperable or broken... Cobwebs everywhere... And most of the bed linens were pretty worn and some tattered... the carpets seemed dirty and matted... The unit could use a very detailed cleaning and some additional lighting fixtures... there was no access to a washer and dryer, and wasn’t aware of that before renting it... That would’ve been very helpful... despite these issues, the unit has a lot of potential
Our family had an amazing time! The property was clean and the kitchen stocked. The only odd thing was, there were clothes hanging in one of the closets. It seemed like new clothes. As if the person who rented the house before us went shopping and left their new clothes there. Not sure how that was missed. Makes me wonder what gets cleaned, or checked. Anyway, it was quiet and right on the golf course, which my dad LOVED! It was a bit of a drive to Durango, but not too bad. We stopped twice at Honeyville. Must see in my opinion.

The check in process was simple and straightforward. However, when we arrived at the property the Murphy and the sofa bed had dirty sheets and no pillows. We were able to find clean bed linens and changed our self. Several of the upstairs bathrooms had outlets that didn’t work. Maintenance was prompt to make repairs. My biggest complaint is that the property it self did not have a washer and dryer. It needs to be stated that you have to pay extra to do your laundry.
The condo is 2 combined units making for lots of space. The location is about 20 minutes from Durango and maybe 10 from purgatory. It’s very quiet and safe. The pool at the lodge is nice. Down sides: it’s dark when the sun goes down. More lighting, especially in the the suite would help. The quality of furnishings, towels, supplies are good, not great but they do a good job of providing what is needed. The view out the kitchen is grass due to the angle of the course. Positive: it has lots of room, quiet, easy check in with hotel amenities down the road a bit, able to play golf (kids are free), no big issues with the condo.
The property is awesome. Very up to date with graninite countertops and new fixtures and appliances. The only complaint was the drapes need to be updated. We could not pull the drapes closed and when the sun comes up at 5:30 am is dose everyone in the room.
The property is large and overall very nice. We thought the cleanliness could have been better and there is an ant infestation which was very off putting.
