About this property

Quiet Seclusion at a Working Ranch!

If you're looking for a quiet getaway offering a more unique experience, the HD Ranch guest house is the place for you. This extremely charming 1200 square foot vacation rental home sits at the end of a mile-long driveway that cuts through 100 acres of pasture land. The guest house features a tastefully decorated master bedroom, living room, library and kitchen with a loft containing two additional beds and sitting area with tv and DVD player. Outside you have a porch and two decks to enjoy the views

Watch deer and horses grazing in a nearby pastures. Take a lovely walk around the ranch or simply kick back and enjoy the serenity. After unwinding, take advantage of some of the country's best mountain biking and hiking trails, white water rafting, fishing or one of Durango's exceptional dining experiences. Also great as a hunting base.
Also in the winter we have fantastic cross county skiing on the property or very close in the mountains, snow shoeing, dog sledding and skiing...

About the host

Hosted by Francie Olson

Host profile image
I am a 76 year old woman who has been training horses and teaching horse back riding for 40 years now. I have this ranch for the love of horses and the beauty of Colorado. I am an avid hiker and also breed Black and Tan Coonhounds who love to share their love for the many guests that come and visit. I thank every guest who comes and visits and have met so many wonderful people! I am so ever grateful.

Why they chose this property

If you want a very unusual getaway and enjoy the beauty of this area with 360 degrees views of the mountains and mesas plus view much wildlife and of course the beautiful horses eating in pastures.

What makes this property unique

Everyone has told me that the guest house is much better than the pictures. You have your own deck to view the wildlife and two decks to watch the stars. Inside it is warm and inviting to relax. Everyone says they have never relaxed more than when they are here. Many enjoy walking the ranch and enjoying the views and horses.
