"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!!"

"Wow— my husband, myself, our 2 kids (6 & 8), and my mom stayed at this lovely property for 4 nights. I totally want to come back!! I woke up each morning and caught the sunrise on the back deck— breathtaking. The kids loved exploring the property daily— we saw so much wildlife, climbed some rock walls, walked along the creek bed, hiked, and took in the views. The house itself is so homey, and was equipped with everything we needed to cook and stay comfortable. The property is the perfect distance to downtown Durango, where we ate, white water rafted, went horseback riding, shopped, and caught the steam engine to cascade canyon. EPIC! We also took a day trip (30 minute ride!!) to Purgatory Resort for a fun filled day. We would love to come back here again, for SURE!! "

"This is the most peaceful friendly place we have ever stayed at not just in Durango but anywhere! Probably our 5th stay over 30 years. Extremely comfortable bedding, owners are super accommodating and friendly "

"Perfect size and great layout of the home. It worked really well for our party! We loved the hot tub and the fire pit. We had a lovely and very peaceful time "

"We have been to Durango many times and have always wanted to stay at this property because of all the fun things they have for the kids. We decided to splurge this year and my kids had a blast. The host was very responsive when we messaged him/her with questions. We had an amazing time in this beautiful home! "

"The front lawn is amazing and the yard games they provided were so much fun! The property is large and has plenty of spaces for a large group. The property was well stocked for our group. The extra frigerators in the garage were an added bonus. The location just north of Durango is quiet with breathtaking views of the red cliffs. The property managers were attentive and responsive. Our only feedback is to carefully read the contract reguarding extra fees (ie. Early check in/late check out, hot tub water overspill). Some of them seems a bit unnecessary for the property, but if you are aware of them ahead of time it is okay. "

"Wonderful setting. Very private. Property was clean and beds were good. Highly recommend."

"Awesome!"

"Beautiful property tucked back next to a creek- very private- only 1/2 mile from the Durango Hot Springs Resort which was the highlight of our trip! Beautiful house with comfy beds. This house was stocked with everything we needed for a 2 night stay, we didn’t have to bring anything but ourselves! "
