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!!!

Perfect reset

We had been gone from home for several days. This was our last two day stop before heading back to the craziness of life. It was a perfect place to drink in the night sky and reset!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Great glamping experience

What a wonderful stay in a beautiful tent. Efficient and easy-to-use wood-burning stove kept us cozy all night and outside chiminea kept us warm as we enjoyed the evening. Calves nearby were sweet and cute. Everything was provided to fully enjoy the experience. Outhouse is simple (no running water), but clean. Outdoor shower was COLD and invigorating. The kids (7, 7, and 3) had an amazing time. For those with kids, do keep in mind that there is a nearby barbed wire fence and an electric fence (for the cows) so there needed to be some supervision there, but it certainly didn't take away from the 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.

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.

Home away from Home

If you are wanting to "camp" but have it still feel at home, this is the best place. My family kids are 13, 8 and 6, spent a long weekend here. We were able to explore during the day and relax at night!!!
