The memory of Blue Lake Ranch lingered in our minds from our visit 15 years ago, so we decided it was time to revisit this magical place. Our original visit had placed us in The River House - serene, surrounded by marmots and other wild life, cows resting in the pasture, and many other simple pleasures. We requested the same... more

When my sister and I stayed 3 nights at BLR in the Sunrise Casita, we were surprised with how private and comfortable our accommodations were. The bathroom was massive and the decor was very good. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful (they suggested and booked dinner for us at a local restaurant, the Kennebac Cafe-food was great!) We were... more

Wow, what a wonderful place. Out in the country, with a beautiful view of snow capped mountains. Our room was actually more like our little house (Sunset Casita) with a large sitting area, bedroom with view of the mountains and a very comfortable king bed and a bath room with lots of daylight, a jetted tub and a spacious, tiled... more

We visited Blue Lake Ranch during the first week of August, and we were pleased with the experience overall. The staff were friendly and hospitable, and the accomodations were clean. Breakfast was tasty, particularly the Ranch's homemade jams. We stayed in the Cottage in the Woods, which was comfortable and surrounded by a picturesque garden. However, I wouldn't recommend staying... more

As you drive to Blue Lake Ranch, about 15 miles southwest of Durango, if the reviews about the great gardens are all hype. Turning in you feel you are in the middle of bland, scrub pine desert, yet once you enter the grounds there is a great rustic lodge and casitas right in the middle of lush gardens. The owners... more

This is quite a property! Beautiful grounds and they do such a wonderful job of maintaining it all. The little details are very appreciated. The Sunrise Casita was lovely. HUGE. Pics online did not do it justice. We had a great mountain view and cute deck to sit on. The owner, David, is an excellent host and seems to make... more
