Super Vacation Spot
Review Submitted: August 27, 2008
Date of Stay: August 2008
We were actually assigned a condo with three bedrooms and two full baths upstairs and a half bath downstairs. The unit number is 327.
The three story unit is well equipped with a TV and DVD player in the living room and two of the bedrooms. The kitchen is also well equipped and we took all but one meal in the condo. There is also a very good gas grill on the patio off the dining area. There is no air conditioning on the lower floors but we visited during mid-August and the condo was quite comfortable. The evenings were even a bit chilly. We did not take the narrow gauge train to Silverton because we were accompanied by our two dogs and pets are not allowed on the train. We did drive to Silverton and Ouray and both are interesting small western towns. Durango has an excellent tourist information center well equipped with brochures describing things to see and do in the area. The Center also has free WIFI available, though I believe Jack plans to install it in the Condo in the near future. Mesa Verde National Park is nearby. We had been there before so we did not go there this time. We just enjoyed the cooler weather (we live in Arizona) and hanging out. Durango is an interesting "old west" town populated with some excellent restaurants and shopping. A word about the owners of the condo. Linda and Jack are the type people you would enjoy having as neighbors. We certainly plan to return to Durango and will definitely stay at one of their condos. There is a well respected music festival during the month of July, and we may schedule our next trip to take advantage of attending some of those events. I should add that the condo is about 12 miles north of the town but we did not feel that to be a disadvantage. There is ample shopping nearby and an excellent City Market on the north side of the town.
