What a great time we had in Durango! Staying at Donna and Leroy's beautiful spacious but cozy home was an absolute joy. The house has everything you could wish for, is close to a bus stop that will take you to the centre of Durango in only 5 minutes. Or you can walk a beautiful scenic route down the mountain to town which takes about 35 minutes. Durango is a very lively town with many activities to choose from, and many nice restaurants, saloons etc. to feed you after a day in the countryside. And the countryside is something else! What a natural beauty surrounds this town! So many trails to walk up the mountains, wildlife, wild flowers, colourful rock formations and nearby top quality places to visit such as: Mesa Verde national park, Pagosa Springs, Silverton, Sand Canyon, the Animas valley, too much to write about...................... Get on a horse, rent a Harley, or just go by car on one of the many scenic routes to absorb all the natural beauty that Durango has to offer. We had a great time in Durango, and found Donna and Leroy so friendly and helpful with everything we had to ask. For us this was a top exchange, and we would recommend Donna and Leroy to anyone considering going to this part of the United States.

What a wonderful exchange this was. The home is beautiful, comfortable and inviting. And the view from the patio made each morning special as we drank our coffee outside. We are familiar with Colorado but not Durango. Durango is a artsy town with friendly people and great restaurants. However, our main reason for this exchange was to see the natural beauty of the area during the autumn. We found the local River Walk and explored beyond the immediate area. There is so much to do related to Native American culture and life. We had a chance to meet Donna and Leroy at the end of the exchange and shared stories about each of our adventures in very different places. We think this exchange is one of our favorites of the 16 we have had. Thanks, Donna and Leroy.

Donna and Leroy, Thank you for a perfect home exchange. Your Durango home is beautiful, immaculate and in a perfect location. Your furnishings are luxurious. Your recommendations for hiking and exploring were perfect. The San Juan Mountains are spectacular! We loved your small town, Durango Joes and Bread Bakery quickly became a daily routine. We found good restaurants and enjoyed a music festival. Thank you for your prompt and friendly communication. Also, thank you for leaving our home immaculate. I'm so glad you had the opportunity to eat out with our neighbors and we hope to exchange again some time. Duane and Shelley
