The Cabin at Little Ranch

Excellent property-backs up to the San Juan Forest with plenty of hiking. Good security, and cute animals all around. We saw deer, hummingbirds, prairie dogs (marmots?), and other wildlife. 10/10 will stay again.

enjoyed our stay at the cabin

My wife and I had a great experience staying at the cabin near Bayfield, Co. The location was fantastic. We had access to hiking nearby and was close to Durango. The cabin is located in the forest which made it very quiet. James was a great host. He gave us good suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area. The cabin was very clean and was well equipped with all the essentials for a nice stay. We would definitely go back there.

So relaxing

We had a great time at the cabin. Not only were we able to be close to fly fishing and hiking, but we had plenty of time to just do nothing. The cabin is nestled in the trees. Every morning we awoke to songbirds. It was truly a blessing for our family and a peaceful time.

Wonderful stay at the Little Ranch

Wonderful property off the beaten path. It’s in a beautiful setting with lots of privacy in the lovely Colorado pines. It was well stocked with a very comfy bed. Conveniently located between Durango and Pagosa Springs, you can quickly get to either location. We were lucky enough to wake up to a fresh snowfall in March! Overall I’d give it two thumbs up.

Wonderful cabin in the woods

Loved the beautiful peaceful location at the edge of the San Juan National Forest! Stayed with my husband and brother over Thanksgiving weekend. We were able to cook lots of delicious food in the well-stocked kitchen and were super cozy during the first big snowstorm of the year. James was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. We hope to stay again, we have family nearby and this was the perfect spot to stay. Thanks!

Great getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Little Ranch! The cabin was PERFECT for us! It’s a beautiful location, tucked away in the woods but easy to get to nearby attractions. James was a great host, responding quickly to any questions and gave great recommendations for the area. The Durango train ride to Silverton was truly fantastic and we had fun exploring the local national parks very close by as well as a little hiking around the cabin itself. We ate breakfast everyday on the peaceful porch as we watched hummingbirds. Bedding and towels are of good quality, kitchen is stocked nicely. Everything was incredibly clean and well thought out. Finding the place was easy too and there is a local grocery nearby. James has set up a wonderful retreat. We will definitely stay here again when we’re in the area.

Amazing!

This cabin was everything we wanted for our first trip to CO! The cabin was clean and furnished nicely. There was plenty of space for our family of 5. The kids enjoyed the loft space and the owner had provided hammocks on the property. We spent cool mornings on the porch with the gas fire pit. The property backs up to the San Juan National forest and we enjoyed hiking directly from the cabin. The cabin is about 30 minutes from Durango so we had the solitude but were able to commute to Durango for activities. We would happily rent this cabin again!

Outer Bayfield, CO Cabin

Stayed 4 nights, About 1.5 miles from HWY 160, Clean, comfortable, extra books, some quirks, but nice enough. Wheelchair ramp blocked by construction. Very hilly, but plenty of nearby mountains and trails. Nearby oil derick smelled of propane fumes, maybe? Nice BR1 downstairs, and roomy BR2 upstairs. Bayfield has nice stores and restaurants for a small town. Price right.
