We enjoyed staying and having this glamping experience. They have thought of everything. The outdoor shower was so nice, having the outdoor kitchen made it easy for meals. Kids are already asking if we can stay there next year
This spot was perfect for a low key weekend away. We backpack regularly, so having a hot shower and an electric kettle made it feel so luxurious! We loved sitting on the porch rocking chairs, and it was close enough to get to any Durango activities.
WE had a wonderful time and enjoyed the peaceful glamping experience. Everything was very nice. I would just recommend a few pots to cook in and an extra trash bag or two. Those were huge issues for us so we just continued enjoying ourselves.
My kids and I stayed here for 2 nights. So peaceful. We relaxed, hung out, played games, had a fire, and soaked up the view. We even saw deer! It’s only 30 minutes from Durango which is where we shopped in the afternoon. I highly recommend this place!
Elk Ridge Casita was the perfect location to escape to for a few days. We enjoyed the isolation, the incredible dark sky and star gazing. Meg's cooking was great and made us feel right at home. The wood stove in the tent kept us warm through the chilly nights.
Property is fantastic . The tent, sleeping area, and kitchen clean and nice. It is still camping in a lot of ways but with the luxuries of a fridge and hot shower. Very well done!
Well what can I say about this property except that it was awesome and my family and I really enjoyed staying there. To take a trip to Durango was easy and fast, so we were able to enjoy everything around us. The property offers great electricity and very good hospitality in making sure that we were doing well from the hosts.
What a fun and unique experience! Easily the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen, and the star gazing was awesome during our late night fires. If you love camping but want more amenities than normal- this is the place for you!
We had been gone from home for several days. This was our last two day stop before heading back to the craziness of life. It was a perfect place to drink in the night sky and reset!
Enjoyed staying at this peaceful campsite to unplug from the world for a bit. We took advantage of the gourmet meals offered so we wouldn’t have to go anywhere. We were not disappointed! Just wish we could’ve stayed longer.
If you are wanting to "camp" but have it still feel at home, this is the best place. My family kids are 13, 8 and 6, spent a long weekend here. We were able to explore during the day and relax at night!!!
I booked this getaway for me and my husband. Never would I have imagined there would be such a place! We love the outdoors and this made our stay perfect! I would stay here again and choose this stay over a luxury hotel any day! Thank you so much!
We enjoyed this adventure for sure! Great accomodations! It was colder than we anticipated so the lack of hot water was a little bit of a challenge but we embraces it and enjoyed! The view is amazing! The most amazing view of the stars.
A delightful property, with a wonderful view, all the tools and supplies you could need, lots of privacy and quiet. Just what the doctor ordered! Recommended!
I highly recommend staying here. The owners have knocked it out of the park with the view and providing everything that one may need for a glamping experience. The owners were quick to respond and ensured we had everything we needed. Location is 30 minutes from Durango and a beautiful drive there. This place felt very secluded but still safe. Definitely check this place out! 5 stars all the way!!!
Loved it! The sun made it hot/too bright for enjoying coffee, cooking breakfast in the morning and taking in the view. Overall a great experience though!
Second time here. Looking forward to another trip here before winter. Good for the heart. Good for the soul. As an ER lead nurse …. So good to unwind and heal. Thanks to the owners …. They rock!!!
