Wonderful stay!

Accommodations were just like pictures and very clean and tidy with great decor and excellent amenities…very cozy and comfortable. The small enclosed, private yard was such a plus for our accompanying pups to be able to utilize and enjoy as needed. Would definitely stay at The Bucking Mule again and highly recommend!

We loved staying here - so cozy, beautifully decorated with every amenity one could dream of! The location is perfect - minutes from downtown in a beautiful neighborhood. The enclosed yard and lovely patio were perfect for our dog who was free to just explore. We will definitely recommend it and hope to return soon.

Great place close to everything

This was a great place for my wife and I to stay with our dog. Good location and close to everything we had planned while visiting Durango. Room in private courtyard for dog to run around and explore. Rain made it a little difficult as there was no grass in courtyard just stone and dirt.

near perfect for us

We have stayed here before and the enclosed patio is great for our two corgis. The only complaint I have is the bathroom sink...which is fashionable but difficult to use and the faucet only has a dribble of water which is not hot at all.
