Amazing location and hospitality. Pretty remote, great breakfast, our castia was very nice. Lots of amenities and solid wifi. However, beware of spider's. There was a few in the room and every evening when we came back, there were a few more waiting for us. Regardless, would recommend!!
We really enjoyed our stay at Blue Lake Ranch. The property was fantastic. Lots of birds and a few deer walking around. There’s so many places to sit and enjoy the views. Our room was wonderful. Our room was spacious and very relaxing, with a patio in back. Our only regret is, we did not get to stay longer.
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.
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.
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.
Exceptionally wonderful it was beautiful, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcomed the lodge that we stayed in was breathtakingly beautiful We walked to the lake, Every room had a view, very very comfortable and classy.

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.
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.
