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.

This is a wonderful beautifully build place in the nowhere. Stylistically you get into an old western hotel, with a lot of taste much attention to detail, beautiful gardens, balconies and terasses. We sat outside for breakfast and enjoyed good wine on the balcony at night. The staff is hard to reach but everything is well organised, we found a message with a key code whwen we arrived.
The next restaurant is 15min, and 30min to Durango.

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.

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.

Loved the location, uniqueness and local flavor of Blue Lake Ranch. A pool would’ve been lovely as the lake is not really swimmable.

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.

Amazing stay! Went on a mini honeymoon and the staff was lovely. They have special envelopes with your name on it stating information you may need during your stay. Their office hours are from 9am-4pm and breakfast is served from 8am-9am and it’s delicious they have a variety of foods to choose from and it’s different everyday. Highly recommend this bed and breakfast!

It’s just as beautiful and picturesque as the pictures. However, we had three main issues with our stay. When we arrived it had been cleaned just not very well. The upstairs carpet is stained and old and didn’t have vacuum lines. I’m a former house cleaner so I can tell when a room has been vacuumed. Everything was pretty dusty and there was hair and dust on the ground. Basically you can tell the sheets were clean and the toilets it just needed a deep clean. The food was edible but not great. The biggest issue we had was that we stayed in the Mountain View room which is connected by one door to another room (the piñon room I believe) and we could hear literally everything going on in that apartment. To the degree that one morning they must have been talking in front of the door and we thought someone was in our unit because the sound carried it straight to our bedroom. Overall it’s just alright. For paying $1k total we probably won’t be going back. We realized one of our favorite hotels would have ended up being cheaper/cleaner/better food. So guess it depends what you’re looking for!

Absolutely beautiful and comfortable room! Very beautiful location and easy to access. One complaint would be the water pressure with the sink and shower. Otherwise, 10/10 would recommend this place to friends and family!

The property was awesome, views to remember forever, each Casitas was beautiful with incredible views of the lake and mountains. We enjoyed everyday walks around the property and my wife fell in love with the deer right next to our Casitas. We wii return!

Beautiful property. The breakfast was modified for Covid and delivered to the room. It was plenty of food and very good but arrived lukewarm since they had to deliver it. The biggest disappointment was the cleanliness. We found an old sock but that wasn’t the worst part. The previous occupant had loaded the dishwasher but hadn’t run it so there weren’t enough dishes and of course I didn’t realize the issue until I went to load the dishes that were available. Then, for hand washing dishes there was only an old dirty sponge. I don’t use sponges in my own home because they are germ infested. I really don’t want to use a used one at a B&B. For what you pay to stay here, I would expect more attention to detail.

Blue Lake Ranch is a little slice of heaven. The grounds are picturesque, our cabin was so homey and filled with history and thoughtful interior design. We were brought delicious breakfast every morning and the staff is super helpful if you need anything. Their guide book helped us find our way to dog sledding which was just the coolest! Highly recommend!!!
