It was a wonderful place to stay. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This property is magical. Quiet, beautiful and special surroundings with lovely gardens, views and just really spectacular natural setting. The casita was super clean, charming and an amazing night sleep in utter silence with great star and night sky viewing. Food was amazing - the breakfast was really excellent. Lobby and common spaces are charming and beautiful indoors and out.

I was so lucky to stay in the Sunset cabin. It was very spacious with incredible views of the mountains. This secluded cabin will definitely be on my list for a return visit.

Jeremy, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Our room was booked out to someone else which we found out by walking into a dirty cabin. They tried to move us to another cabin and charge us another $400.00 a night we asked for a full refund and they did grant that so thank you! Property was very overgrown and not handicap accessible at all. Photos on line looked nothing like it does now they look like they were taken 10 years ago. Most of Durango was booked up we got lucky and found a motel room for the night. My sister who has cancer had the pleasure of sleeping in a chair then going to chemotherapy the next day and then spending over a hour in a car to go home. Would not recommend nor will we be back!
Jeannie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What a charming place here in Colorado. It was a lot more than what I expected. Lots of darling cabins cottages, and barn. Houses to stay in. The property is beautiful with lots of areas to rome. Breakfast was delicious. I would definitely stay here again.
Aleese, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

My family stayed here when my niece was married here. I enjoyed our experience so much that I wanted to go back with just my husband and I. It was clean, cozy, quiet and the breakfast was great! Can’t say enough good things about this place.

Jeffrey, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Loved the location, uniqueness and local flavor of Blue Lake Ranch. A pool would’ve been lovely as the lake is not really swimmable.
Manuela, 2-night trip

CARLOS, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Garden Room was beautiful with a sense of a country setting. No negatives.
Robert, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a wonderful beautifully build place in the nowhere. Stylistically you get into an old western hotel, with a lot of taste much attention to detail, beautiful gardens, balconies and terasses. We sat outside for breakfast and enjoyed good wine on the balcony at night. The staff is hard to reach but everything is well organised, we found a message with a key code whwen we arrived. The next restaurant is 15min, and 30min to Durango.
Ulrich, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

One of a kind away from Durango by about 20 mins. This place is quite, clean and has all the touches of home. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and no matter what time I was outside, I could hear so many birds singing. We truly appreciated the care that the owners put into this property.

10/10 Excellent

Just a heads up that this B&B is actually a 25 minute drive outside of Durango. That was definitely an unexpected wrinkle in our plans. They don’t serve breakfast until 8am, and if you are riding the Durango to Silverton Railroad, you have to be AT the train station by 8:30, and that’s after you drive 25 minutes to get there, wait 5-10 minutes in line to get into their all day parking lot, and then walk to the station. That issue caused us to have to skip breakfast altogether. Bummed for sure. Aside from that, the staff was super friendly, the room was spacious and comfortable, and we enjoyed the stay. The only critiques for the room were: 1. The TV was really small and didn’t receive any major network stations. 2. The light above the bathroom vanity was quite dim, although I’ve been told I’m much more attractive in the dark, so maybe the dim lighting was a blessing?! 3. It took 90 seconds or more to get hot water at the shower and/or the bathroom sink.
