We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful, serene cabin. The home was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed, including a well-stocked kitchen and cooking essentials. The beds were very comfortable, and it was clear the host put a lot of care into making the space welcoming and easy to enjoy. Communication was great throughout our stay, and the location was both quiet and conveniently located. There is a reason all of the reviews are 5 stars, host is extraordinary! We would gladly stay again!
This cabin was amazing! Tucked in the forest, beautiful covered deck to enjoy mornings and evenings and everything in between. The place was very clean and welcoming, with most everything we needed. Our only suggestion was a fan as the upstairs got a bit warm. The host was easy to communicate with. We very much enjoyed the hot tub, and just the escape this provided.

Thank you for such a lovely review! We're so glad the cabin's forest setting, covered deck, and hot tub gave you the peaceful escape you were looking for, and that you found it clean and welcoming throughout your stay. We appreciate you sharing the note about a fan for the upstairs. Maybe I misunderstood because there is a fan upstairs. If there is something I need to do concerning the fan clarification would be helpful. It's great to hear communication was easy and that the space had what you needed to enjoy your time away.
This cabin feels secluded but you are still minutes away from restaurants & grocery store. It was the perfect place for my family with young children to stay. I would book it again!
This is a beautiful property in a fairly secluded area but only five minutes from town. The perfect place for our weekend family time!

Beautiful silent spot.
It is such a beautiful spot. All alone in the forrest. Such a cosy cabin. Good bed. Fire places. And do not forget….a great HotTub. We loved the place.
We enjoyed our stay immensely! The cabin was fabulous and the ranch is gorgeous 😍 James is an amazing host and took great care of us. Can't wait to come back!!! We absolutely loved our stay and time at Little Ranches. Awesome vacation spot to get away from it alll!!!
Quiet, beautiful cabin nestled in the woods! Loved the porch and the hummingbirds that greeted us each morning and evening. Would definitely stay here again!
Excellent property-backs up to the San Juan Forest with plenty of hiking. Good security, and cute animals all around. We saw deer, hummingbirds, prairie dogs (marmots?), and other wildlife. 10/10 will stay again.
We loved our stay! The cabin is very private and cozy! The trails and hiking around the cabin are great! Very relaxing. Kitchen had most of the cooking essentials. We enjoyed our stay!
We loved everything about our stay at the cabin. It doesn’t lack a single thing. It’s clean, well stocked, in a great location and very peaceful. Start and/or end your days on the deck watching the hummingbirds and other wildlife. Don’t hesitate to book a stay!
The place was beautiful! We were on the go but it would be a great place to stay & escape for a few days or a week! James was great with communication & a great host. If we’re in the Durango area again, this will be our pick if it’s available.
Beautiful cabin, it has everything you need to be comfortable inside and enjoy the outdoors, the views every morning and at night are memorable. It definitely exceeded our expectations.
We had a really good time and our kids loved it too! Very clean and well designed. No complaints 👍🏽

Quiet Escape, Conveniently Located
This little cabin is cozy, quiet and tidy. Located in a sweet spot just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Durango but close enough... Bayfield is even closer, with a nice grocery store. Well equipped, nicely laid out and very comfortable.

2nd stay just as amazing as 1st
We enjoyed the first stay so well, we came back!! Quiet, beautiful cabin nestled in the woods! We Loved the porch and the hummingbirds that greeted us each morning. It’s the perfect distance to Durango or Pagosa Springs. The cabin is super clean and cozy. Only a few miles into town to eat best omelette ever at Brenda’s cafe! Thinking of our 3rd stay 🥰
