Amazing, Beautiful, Romantic Place to Stay

This place is wonderful. It is so much better than the pictures (and the pictures are awesome!). We were lucky and got to meet Sunshine, the owner, who is also totally awesome. She was so caring and concerning with an incident that occurred (non-town home related). We absolutely loved the place. There were a lot of spices and items in the fridge for our use. The coffee maker had a setting for coffee to be ready each morning, so very nice. Plenty of pots, pans, bowls, etc... Towels were fluffy. Washer and dryer were great as well. If we ever get to the Durango, CO area again, we will for sure be checking into renting this town home again. It really was such a wonderful place.

The renters are great people. The property was in great condition. It felt like home! Loved the wood burning fireplace and free wood replacement. The place was clean, modern appliances, really everything you could want to enjoy your stay in Durango. We would definitely rent here again when back in Durango and recommend to anyone interested in staying in this cozy home.

Very nice townhouse located close to the ski hill but not too far from the town of Durango. Very well kept and comfortable. Owners kept in touch when we needed something and were very polite and pleasant to deal with. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in Durango.

Summer Stay with 3 Kids & Grandma

Daphne S. ()
Review submitted: August 13, 2012   Date of arrival: July 25, 2012

Our family of five (including 3 kids ages 10, 7 & 2) had a great 10-day stay at the Silverpick Townhome this Summer. We even took a grandmother and had ample room! The layout of the townhome was very functional for our family. The townhome is decorated beautifully but is also kid friendly. The owner is very helpful and responsive to any needs.
The location of the townhome is about 20 miles north of Durango, so there is some travel required to get to town, grocery stores, activities and restaurants. However, there is a great restaurant (Sow's Ear) within 50 yards of the townhome's door. Also, the Durango Mountain Resort is only 2 minutes away. There are 1 or 2 restaurants there as well as some summer activities for the older children.
There are several hiking trails surrounding the Silverpick townhome, but be sure to have your bear spray. We had 2 sightings of large black bear!
There are numerous summer activities in this area...too many to list. I would definitely recommend a trip to Durango and a stay at the Silverpick townhome!

We LOVE this condo! We have visited here for the past three years and look forward to it each year. It's such a treat for our family. The owners are amazing. They take care of every little detail. They have remodeled the condo with great finishing touches. The new loft is spectacular! Perfect for kids. My two boys stayed in the loft...it even has it's own tv! My parents loved the decor in the master suite. And the new built-in shelving/bench unit in the dinning room is so wonderful that my husband asked if we could build one of them in our house! We loved the surroundings too...we played horse shoes and softball every night. It's close to Needles Market for necessities. I highly recommend this condo to anyone staying in the Durango area. You will fall in love with it...WE DID!!!

Everything you could possibly need.....

Review submitted: June 20, 2012   Date of arrival: March 11, 2012

My family of 5 stayed at this lovely townhome over our Spring Break and couldn't have been happier. The home is warm and inviting and has everything you could need for the perfect home away from home. The family room has a beautiful stone fireplace that we used every night after skiing. The kitchen is fully stocked so that we could actually have home cooked meals when we didn't want to eat out.
The master bed was large and comfy with nice soft linens. The kids room was great with it's own t.v. and bathroom (and now it's own loft). The owner Sunshine was such a pleasure to work with and very attentive and informative with everything. I would highly recommend this home and would love to stay their again when we come to Durango!

A perfect stay in Durango!

We recently drove from Houston to Durango. The decorations and furnishings were beautiful and tasteful! The townhouse was very clean and all of the extras included were convenient. The restaurant on site was delicious. The drive to the ski resort was short and easy. We will definitely come back to this town home or the ski resort condo owned by the same couple. The owners were always quick to respond and VERY HELPFUL :) Enjoyed our stay!

This vacation home delivered everything we expected and more! It was beautifully decorated, but not too formal... very comfortable and cozy. When we arrived, it was super clean (which we're picky about!), and we felt very much at home. The kitchen had just been remodeled and was absolutely gorgeous! We love to cook on vacation and found everything we needed at our fingertips. In the bedrooms and bathrooms, the owners have gone the extra mile to prov

What an awesome place - we had such a good time. The townhome was beautifully decorated, very cozy throughout the whole house. Very large rooms with high ceilings - Master was gorgeous. A lot of attention was taken to every detail through out the condo for a comfortable stay. I was concerned at first at not being slopeside but the drive was only one minute and much more quiet of a stay with the parking in front made it easy to get in and out quickly. The best restaurant is across the street - The Sow's Ear. They do not even have a rest. at the resort that can compare to this one.

Home away from Home and then some!

Review submitted: July 28, 2011   Date of arrival: July 21, 2011

I was extremely nervous picking out a place to spend our family vacation in CO. We picked this place from the description, pictures, location & $. After speaking with the owner she made me feel so comfortable- we decided to go for it. WOW! From the moment we said, "YES" everything was smooth sailing with the payments & communication. From there the anticipation of arrival - we pulled up & the retrieval of keys were instantly as described. We were in the door in minutes & we were not disappointed! The decor of the place was amazing and beautiful. All the ameneties were as stated. I have a 15 & two 13 year olds who went through commenting on how cool everything was. There was plenty of room for everyone, yet it gave off such a cozy feeling of home. The master is very beautiful (romantic too- if you don't have teens with you). The bedding & linens are extremely nice. Great place to get away for some peaceful reading time, if the other tvs are going down stairs, or you can sneak outside on to the patio. When not on the property we were just minutes away from the activiites we were in CO for. Soaring Tree top Zip lines $$$, but worth every penny- people were amazing, My kids are still talking about how nice everyone was., Mild to Wild kayaking- fun experience, Rapp Corral horse back riding - people were great (cash only there). Alpine Slide down the street, not to mention all the hiking trails. All these things just minutes away from your door step from this home- it is in such a great location. We also took a car trip up the hill to Silverton & Ouray which was one of the most beautiful drives ever! We were back before dark & that was after lunch & touring the towns. Also had pizza at the Old School house down the way-long wait, but worth it! Be there at 4pm opening, if hungry! ALL these things to go & do, so close, but you can also come back & make a home cooked meal on the stove or grill. (we grabbed stuff from market in Durango after rafting & planning meals)Everything you need is in this home from the cooking appliances the dishes, pots & pans. Again, I was nervous about setting this all up initally and I still can't believe how easy this owner really made this. This owner truly goes out of her way to make her property and guests a priority- outstanding customer service. I would highly reccomend this property to anyone that is looking in this area. It is a beautiful home, inside and out, It truly is your Home away from Home &then some

Beautiful Vacation Getaway!

Lydia (Gilbert, AZ)
Review submitted: July 11, 2011   Date of arrival: June 24, 2011

Our family of 5 stayed in this beautiful townhome for 7 nights at the end of June. We were very impressed with the decorating, cleanliness, professionalism & friendliness of the owners and caretaker. They went out of their way to answer our questions and made sure we were well taken care of. The home is even better in person and is very well stocked - including kid-friendly dishes. We loved the location - being 30 minutes north of Durango put us much closer to Silverton and Ouray (for some fun hiking and jeep tours,) yet we were close enough to drive into Durango for shopping and dinner. It was also 10-15 degrees cooler on the mountain! My hubby & I noted that it was also much quieter there than being at Durango Mtn. Resort (just a mile north.) All of the furniture is beautiful and comfortable - a lovely place to relax and prepare meals after a busy day. Our kids especially loved their room, and the master bedroom is truly a romantic getaway. We definitely hope to visit again!

This townhome is easily accessible from Durango with great views. The owners went out of their way to insure that we had everything we needed during our stay. Upon our arrival we found the home very clean and a more spacious feel than depicted in the photos - beautifully decorated and completely equipped with dishes, towels, etc. I would not hesitate to rent from these owners again, we had a great time!
Thanks again.

Perfect Vacation Condo

KM (Murphy, Texas)
Review submitted: April 2, 2011   Date of arrival: March 13, 2011

Great condo. It was perfect for our multi-family group but would work just as well for a couple looking for a romantic getaway or small family. Just a minute from the ski slopes by car it was so easy to get up and go. All the furnishings were new and the beds were very comfortable. There were tons of hooks throughout the condo allowing all our gear to dry overnight. Everything was set up to make it welcoming from a fully stocked kitchen that had everything from a griddle to fix pancakes in the morning to glasses for wine to sit by the fire in the evening. With three new flat screen TVs there was no fighting over which age groups got to control the TVs when we got in at night. The on-site restaurant had gluten free selections when we wanted to eat out. The hosts were wonderful and easy to work with providing all the extras we needed to make a great stay. We highly recommend this as a great vacation condo.
