A wonderful place to base our Durango visit - close enough to be able to pop into town (and hear the steam train), yet a step away as well.Falling asleep to the sound of the stream was a delight.Our first visit to the area, and now we know a sweet spot, should we (likely) return to the area.

Very clean and nicely decorated cabin. Very comfortable and relaxing time. Our host Julie was very helpful and left nothing out. Lots of birds and a lovely little creek to listen too. We will definitely be back.

Jill our hostess was amazing, always helpful and gave hreat suggestions! The 1800's cabin looked like we had stepped back in time but the inside had all the amenities...We spent mornings on the front porch with coffee and watching all the birds. Durango was 10 min away... Can't wait to stay again... this time we will plan a fall visit.

We enjoyed staying for two nights in the historic Days Cabin on the James Ranch. The cabin combines the history of the Animas River Valley with all of today’s conveniences. We loved the water flowing down the adjacent aceqiua (irrigation ditch), but the unfamiliar sound made sleeping soundly a bit challenging. Even so, we’ll be back, hopefully for three or more nights.

As promised the bed was FABULOUS! Cabin and yard were cozy and we really enjoyed the birds,view, and privacy. There was no AC and it got very warm in the evenings but cooled nicely by 1:00am. Kitchen was great but NO MICROWAVE. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there but never paid more and got less even WITHOUT TV. Location was great, easy to get to town, easily followed directions. Website alluded you would be part of James Ranch but that is NOT TRUE

This property exceeded our expectations! The cabin is newly renovated with new appliances and appropriately stocked with cooking essentials. It was also spotless. The bed was extremely comfortable and the babbling brook right outside the cabin lulled us to sleep. We spent days on the covered porch watching the birds and also enjoyed an occasional visit from the ranch dogs, who were polite and well mannered. Host was delightful! She communicated well and was quick to respond to requests. The James Market was well stocked with fresh organic veggies, meats, and many other local items. We had the best burgers we'd ever had at the James Grill. This deserves much more than five stars! If you're in the Durango area, give this a try. You won't be disappointed.

Anniversary Trip

Our stay in this cabin at James Ranch was fantastic! The cabin was perfect for my wife and I, and everything was just as described in the listing. Julie was a perfect host, and the check in/out process was the easiest ever. We will definitely be staying here for any future trips to the Durango area!!

The cabin was fantastic. We loved the historic aspect and care taken to preserve it. We loved the quiet location out of town. The cabin had everything we needed and more! The ethos around how the family utilises the land and farms was impressive. Julie was a fantastic host, we couldn't fault anything. Thanks for a fabulous stay.

Wonderful, comfortable with babbling water source nearby. Very shady and private. Beautiful views and a very active birdfeeder!Shower is great, hot water anytime, private washer and dryer. Wonderfully situated.We did miss having a microwave or air fryer or toaster oven. So we used the perfect stove/oven. I even baked brownies one chilly morning. We love James Ranch nearby and had two of our dinners there. Wonderful views from the restaurant and the service is incredible. The little James Ranch store has wonderful fresh fruit, fresh veggies and even more delightful, fresh eggs. Julie, our host, is amazingly receptive and quick to respond to any wish. This is our 2nd year and we truly hope to come back again, next year.
