Great Escape
Elk Ridge Casita was the perfect location to escape to for a few days. We enjoyed the isolation, the incredible dark sky and star gazing. Meg's cooking was great and made us feel right at home. The wood stove in the tent kept us warm through the chilly nights.

Nice glamping spot
Overall, a nice experience. So convenient to have warm running water and still be a part of nature. The tent is on the back of the owners property and since they have cattle about 10 yards from the site, there are hundreds of flies. Unfortunately, the only fly swatter provided was broken. As far as location, I was hoping there would be access to hiking, but since this is on the owners property, it's surrounded by barbed wire. It's only a 30 minute drive from durango and convenience stores are within 10 minutes. There were plenty of blankets and even a very large heatong blanket! This is worth the glamping experience.

Really great folks. First time glamping and enjoyed the time. Wildlife came by first evening and I think it was three elk, but was dusk and made I. D. Hard.

Superb Accommodations
I highly recommend staying here. The owners have knocked it out of the park with the view and providing everything that one may need for a glamping experience. The owners were quick to respond and ensured we had everything we needed. Location is 30 minutes from Durango and a beautiful drive there. This place felt very secluded but still safe. Definitely check this place out! 5 stars all the way!!!

glamping
Some of the kitchen equipment needs upgrading and the gas grill leaked a little. We didn't bring any of our camp cooking equipment along because we thought it would all be provided so cooking our meals was a bit of a challenge.

Well what can I say about this property except that it was awesome and my family and I really enjoyed staying there. To take a trip to Durango was easy and fast, so we were able to enjoy everything around us. The property offers great electricity and very good hospitality in making sure that we were doing well from the hosts.

We enjoyed this adventure for sure! Great accomodations! It was colder than we anticipated so the lack of hot water was a little bit of a challenge but we embraces it and enjoyed! The view is amazing! The most amazing view of the stars.

Enjoyed staying at this peaceful campsite to unplug from the world for a bit. We took advantage of the gourmet meals offered so we wouldn’t have to go anywhere. We were not disappointed! Just wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Peaceful getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was very comfortable and had everything necessary to enjoy a stay 'outdoors'. Even though the owners are just across the way, it is set up so you have total privacy, which is what we were looking for. I only give location a 4 because it is a bit of a drive to Durango or Pagosa Springs. It was fine for us and we felt the overall experience was WELL worth the drive. But if you're wanting to bop in and out of town, maybe not a good choice. We're already looking for dates to do a return visit! Great stay!

A Fantastic Experience
My husband, daughter and I stayed four nights at this fantastic property. It is a gorgeous and peaceful setting with comfortable amenities. It is glamping at its finest. Meg was a fantastic host. Her communication was quick and she made sure we had what we needed to make our stay comfortable. If you want to try glamping do not hesitate renting this property. It is an easy drive to Durango, which is a great town . We would definitely rent this property again!

Great Glamping experience for a young family!
We planned to go to the Durango Silverton train and this VRBO created a great experience in addition to our plan. The hosts were so nice and helpful. The meal we had was also very delicious. Just FYI for young families, be prepared for the outhouse and outside shower. Our toddlers weren't into it. Obviously part of the camping/glamping experience but something to plan for. Super fun and made us want our own backyard glamping tent!
