What an amazing stay. We spent two nights as a vacationing couple at the Sunset Casita. It was a lovely one bedroom- over 800 sq ft. The view of the mountains was lovely and we watched mule deer and a coyote from the back porch at sunset. The bed was comfortable. The decor was southwestern nice art. The breakfast was delicious- they served a South African hot poached egg dish with a red sauce that was yummy. Wonderful selection of foods served in the dining room. The ranch is in a delightful natural setting with flowers, birds galore. So quiet! Next time in the area we will return.

We arrived after several days of staying in higher end ($) places in Albuquerque & Santa Fe. Our time in the lovely, clean, well decorated Sunrise Casita was far & away the best part of our trip! There was so much peace and room to kick back & relax. We enjoyed morning coffee & evening wine on our lovely deck looking out on the LaPlata range, listening to nothing but birdsong & cattle sweetly lowing in a distant pasture. Blue Lake staff referred us to make reservations at the nearby restaurant, The Kennebec, where both excellent food & service lured us back for a second night (reservations required). The included breakfast service at Blue Lake Ranch was also excellent. We also spent one day @ Mesa Verde National Park - extremely interesting & not crowded! I would love to return to Blue Lake Ranch & definitely would book the Sunrise Casita again.

Before this visit we stayed two times in the BLR. The first time in 2015 in a room in the main building, we got greeted by the owners and got a small tour over the grounds, in my opinion our stay was just wonderful. The second time was in de Cedar Casita in 2019, casita is huge, big bath room, big bed room, great views. But some loose floor tiles, fly doors a bit rickety, one doesn’t close properly, that lowered the level of experience. Because of that experience we booked the Cedar Casita this year again. Now this third time, we were not greeted at all, there was a letter taped on the window of the main building and DIY. A place like this, who likes to place this BLR in the upper end of B&B’s can do better. By the way, the loose tiles grom 2019 in the bedroom were still loose… Above that, one patio corner was covered in bird dropping and on top of that mouse droppings, the cushions from the patio beds need replacing because of lack of comfort, faded colors and sigaret hole. The mouse was running through our bedroom. In my opinion the customer should expect more comfort and extra service in the BLR. We paid nearly 1900 USD for 5 nights, That’s serious amount. For us this was the last time in the BLR.

Best hidden gem in CO! A must stay if you are going to the Durango area. Absolutely gorgeous place with a friendly staff and yummy breakfast! Highly recommend! We can’t wait to come back in the summer with our kiddos! We stayed in the Oak Grove casita.

Leaving this review a bit late as we stayed there last September. Frankly just forgot. Blue Lake Ranch is priced as and presents themselves as an upper end remote and private resort. We had stayed there previously and liked it enough to want to come again in fall of 2023. Frankly something has gone awry with the operation and we were disappointed. From breakfast one day consisting of posole to loud music from the employee quarters disturbing us and finally mouse traps in our room. We heard the property was for sale and if we hear of new management we would consider returning.

We stayed in the Sunrise Casita. It is a lovely accommodation, with a bedroom, living room, mini-kitchen, huge bathroom, and nice patio. I'm pretty sure the bath is wheelchair accessible. I chose this room because it offered a sleep-sofa as well as the bed, but there were no linens for the sofa. Also, there was tea and cocoa but no coffee, although a coffee maker, grinder, and filters were provided. I tried to see someone in reception about this but no on was there during normal business hours. There was a phone number to call, but I didn't want to wait. They seem to be short-staffed, as are many other places these days. The breakfasts were excellent, a bit different each day (we stayed three nights). The ranch is truly off the beaten path, with lovely views and very quiet - but miles from anywhere.

The Blue Lake Ranch was a favorite of mine until 2 days ago. We arrived at 6:15pm for one night and retrieved the code from an envelope. We entered the room, and it was warm! There was no one there to greet us, so maybe a bottle of water? None. We had none and no ice for a drink! Requested a breakfast sandwich to go and received no reply? We had an early excursion. Toilet tissue was not available in the room for a spare roll. There is not enough room here to put down my disappointment. Even a coffee and a cup could have eased the issue. A hotel room is way beyond what this Bed room offered us after we traveled 8 hours to enjoy the experience. So my friendly advice is stay away from this accommodation that offers self service, not hospitality! Gigi A
