We enjoyed our stay at Between the Waters. We fell asleep each night to the sounds of the rushing Florida River - it was amazing! We booked the property as a jumping off point for our Durango area adventures.
We hiked at Vallecito Lake, biked the Animus River trail through Durango, rode the D&SNG RR's Cascade Canyon train, enjoyed the dinner show at the Bar D Ranch (highly recommend!), spent an afternoon enjoying the wibbit on Lake Nighthorse, and took a whitewater rafting trip on the Animus River.
We were mostly at Between the Waters to eat and sleep, but we did book it also for the fishing opportunities in the river and at the neighborhood pond during the evenings. We aren't used to river fishing, so we didn't have any luck there. As for the pond...unfortunately, the neighborhood association pass that was left to access the pond was out of date (by 2 years), and residents at the pond turned us away when we went to use it. That was a big disappointment for our kiddos. We reached out to the management company, but the issue wasn't resolved before our week's vacation was up.
But the home was lovely...lots of history on the walls. The one other thing I would mention is that the third bedroom's bed was a pretty hard futon mattress. My 12 year old still slept ok, but I somehow didn't realize that it wasn't an actual bed from the photos. Overall a great home with plenty of kitchen counter space, a dinner table large enough for our family of six, and a wonderful home!
