What a terrific place to sit back and relax. The pictures of the property don’t do it justice. Great views of the mountains and the night sky. The kitchen is well equipped for all your cooking needs and there are so many different places to just sit and enjoy nature. We wish we could have stayed longer!
Such a wonderful place to stay, if you enjoy beautiful scenery, peace and quiet and occasionally seeing sweet little critters this is the place to come. Well equipped kitchen for staying in and cooking. Many interesting places to visit. Thanks for a wonderful stay
Beautiful view, very peaceful, enjoyed sitting out and watching wildlife. House was very clean, kitchen had everything you needed to cook with. Beds were okay, keep in mind I like my bed very firm, all of the beds were a little more towards the soft side. I would highly recommend this place.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Setting Sun Ranch! The home is wonderful and the mountain views are amazing. The home is located in a quiet country setting and only a short drive to Durango. I highly recommend this property!
This place is located in a beautiful area with great Mountain Views and a close proximity to Durango. The house was very nice and the owners respond quickly to questions. Highly recommended!
Super cute house in the country with the best view of the mountains. My family loved our stay here and it was a short 15 min drive to Durango. Highly recommend staying here and the host was quick with any questions i had before our stay. No issues during our stay and i would 100% stay here again. Perfect if you prefer the country to staying in town and are looking for breathtaking views.
We had a wonderful stay. The scenery and property is amazing. The host made the check in easy and the house was great with all the outdoor seating looking at amazing views as far as the eye can see. Will definitely be back.
This property delivered even more than what the pictures showed. It was quiet and peaceful and we would definitely return when we find a need to return to the Durango area.
Wonderful home to get away from it all! Quiet, clean, and secluded. The deer visited us everyday in the front yard! Sometimes twice a day! Very relaxing time despite the inclement weather. Beautiful views out of every window! The host was fantastic! Very helpful. We will be back!!
My family and loved the ranch. The privacy and peace were heavenly. We loved sitting on the patio each morning and evening to enjoy the mountain vista and commune with the two horses in the pasture. The house is spacious, immaculate and warmly decorated. It’s a piece is southwest comfort.
We loved it here. The Dogs loved all the space. It was really nice being able to just let them relax and enjoy the outdoors without having to worry about them barking or bugging others around. They already get stressed traveling and having it away from the road and out on its own was so nice for the to walk and explore. Really enjoyed the house and the owner's were great with communication.
This place FAR exceeded our expectations. It's a short drive to Durango but well worth the drive. The home is so cozy, and the views are incredible. Everything was so clean and comfortable. We loved our time there and have already started talking about our next trip. The check in was the easiest I've ever experienced and communication with the owner was nearly instant. The pictures do not do this place justice.
Two of my friends and I spent 4 nights at this beautiful ranch house. Check in was easy and the house was lovely. Before our visit the host was very friendly and helpful when I would message her with a question and responded quickly. The view from the porch is beautiful and relaxing. Although the drive from Durango is approximately 20 minutes, after a long day of activities it was a pleasure to arrive back at the house nestled on a private acreage and enjoy the scenery and peace and quiet. I would definitely stay there again.
We decided to rent this beautiful home after we sold our house. The property is magnificent, clean, secluded (yet 20 min from Durango) and has everything a family needs. There is a big field where we flew our kites, we took walks on the land, our dogs and 7 year old daughter loved it! This is exactly what we needed to refuel and relax. The owner is wonderful and worked with us when we needed to extend our stay due to a longer wait (our camper wasn't ready). Highly recommended, this exceeded our expectations.
