The home is warm and inviting, providing the basic necessities you will need for your stay, including lots of toys for the kids. I appreciate the attention to detail the host has put into this home, making our stay very comfortable. Looking forward to coming back again!

Peaceful ranch indeed
We had a wonderful time at the ranch. Our dog loved the 6+ acres of space to roam and we loved the back deck for relaxing. The ranch is well stocked with amenities and the hosts were very responsive. It is easy to get into town for restaurants or groceries.

Durango Retreat
My family (4 adults plus dog) spent a week at this delightful home. It is very spacious, and the decor is very attractive. Our group enjoyed the pool table, hot tub, the fire pit table, and the beautiful outdoor sitting areas. We loved sitting in the back to have cocktails, and we enjoyed all of the birds (hummingbirds, magpies and robins). The dog park near the Albertson’s was a great find. The owner obviously put a lot of thought into the house design and landscaping, and it shows. We would love to return for another visit.

Best place we’ve stayed in Durango
We’ve been coming 2-3 times a year to visit our daughters since 2019 and have stayed in several places. We are all in agreement that this was definitely the best! I was a little worried it would be to far out of town but we were in downtown Durango in 10 minutes or less. It was actually nice to get away from the crowds and sit on the patio and have the beautiful view. We cooked several meals in the spacious kitchen and played pool and used the hot tub. So many great amenities. We will definitely book here again!

Outstanding Stay!
What a nice house with a very helpful, very responsive manager! The house was fully wheelchair accessible with plenty of space in all the rooms. As an advanced manual wheelchair user the ramp was a little steep, but functional. The master bedroom suite was very nice with an outstanding shower with plenty of room for a shower bench. The house was very clean with multiple high quality air purifiers. What a great experience - we will be looking to book this house again in the future!

Beauty and Comfort
We had 11 family members stay from 6/9 —6/13,2024. This house is very clean and updated. The house and surrounding horse property are complete with all necessary amenities. Extra blow up mattress which we didn’t need. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor 2 patios, bbq grill and fire pit. The house has air conditioning and thankfully all the plumbing worked perfectly. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen had everything we needed. The bonus room and hot tub were definitely a plus (extra room to spread out). Beds were comfy and we had plenty of extra blankets and linens. Location is ideal—away from noise and traffic yet close to Walmart, downtown and Lake Nighthorse. Durango Hot Springs is 20 mins away and a must for adults and children. We definitely recommend this Peaceful Ranchette for your next vacation stay.

We had the BEST experience here. I really enjoyed how baby/kid friendly the whole house was. I also loved all of the “little things” that made a big difference to me. The hostess was super sweet and even messaged me after we left and told me we left a blanket and asked if I wanted her to mail it to me. 1000/10 experience. We will be back.

From the hot tub to all the different family games included was like home! I would definitely recommend this property over any other in the Durango area. You are surrounded by horse farms and Mountain View’s. We had to call the property manager with a question and she answered immediately and was super nice and helpful!

Loving Durango
Durango was wonderful and what added much to our stay was where we stayed. The home was perfectly set up, the surroundings were so very peaceful, loved walking around and seeing the horses, deer and fox. When not going around the town and further out for hiking etc., this home was filled with fun things to do. We did puzzles, played pool and spent time sitting and relaxing on the well accommodated porch! Though we did not use it there was a great grill one could use. As for communication with the property overseer, she was very prompt!!!! Though never a big problem at all!! 😊 Would go there again!! M

House was nice in a great rural neighborhood. The property had great amenities and a great setting. Each morning or evening deer would come and eat grit off the trees.

Very nice home away from home
We truly enjoyed this property for our vacation, everything we needed was available, from being able to cook, relax on the porch, TV's in multiple rooms, game room with pool table and Xbox (our son loved that), and being able to wash laundry. We had visits from a fox, deer and hummingbirds. There is a spa as well, which we intended to use, but never did because we had too much fun with other things. If you are spoiled like us, you need to be aware that cooling is provided by a swamp cooler and there is a trick on how to utilize it properly. Places like this do not often need an A/C and swamp coolers work just fine. We had dogs with us, which was one of the reasons why we chose this property, and we followed the instructions to always supervise our dogs, because a fox and deer came by to visit as well as the neighbors have dogs and we wouldn't want anything to happen to neither. Another reason is that the fencing (or gate) would not be able to keep any dog on the property. So, if you travel with your pet, be aware and follow the provided instructions. We loved the place and would come back again in the future.
