Camping in style away from it all

This spot was perfect for a low key weekend away. We backpack regularly, so having a hot shower and an electric kettle made it feel so luxurious! We loved sitting on the porch rocking chairs, and it was close enough to get to any Durango activities.

Peaceful and perfect

My kids and I stayed here for 2 nights. So peaceful. We relaxed, hung out, played games, had a fire, and soaked up the view. We even saw deer! It’s only 30 minutes from Durango which is where we shopped in the afternoon. I highly recommend this place!

WE had a wonderful time and enjoyed the peaceful glamping experience. Everything was very nice. I would just recommend a few pots to cook in and an extra trash bag or two. Those were huge issues for us so we just continued enjoying ourselves.

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.

Pleasant and relaxing getaway for family

We had a truly wonderful time at the casita. The amenities, atmosphere, host, and communication were very well done. We spent three nights with our young daughters (3,5,7 y.o.) and felt safe, secluded and relaxed the entire time. Amenities of mini-fridge, chimnea, grille, and seating areas were all perfect. We recommend this for a quiet getaway with the peacefulness of camping minus the hassle!

Amazing experience!

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.

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!!!

Ruffing It

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.

Unplug and breathe

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.

The Most Incredible Getaway

If you’re lucky enough to stay on this little slice of heaven you will get to enjoy luxury camping at its finest. The spacious canvas tent was perfectly decorated and stocked with everything you would need from wood for the stove to keep you warm at night to locally sourced lavender tea and coffee to enjoy while you watch the sunrise from bed. The home cooked meal was only the cherry on top of a perfect stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us.

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!

Pure Bliss

This hidden gem is the perfect getaway. Our families stayed on the property the whole stay, but there is so much to do in the area. The view was breathtaking. My kids explored the property and Lee introduced them to the calves. Meg was quick and friendly with her responses. The food was delicious! Overall a wonderful experience. 5 stars across the board. My family took home memories that will last a lifetime.

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!

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.
