Camping in style away from it all

This spot was perfect for a low key weekend away. We backpack regularly, so having a hot shower and an electric kettle made it feel so luxurious! We loved sitting on the porch rocking chairs, and it was close enough to get to any Durango activities.

WE had a wonderful time and enjoyed the peaceful glamping experience. Everything was very nice. I would just recommend a few pots to cook in and an extra trash bag or two. Those were huge issues for us so we just continued enjoying ourselves.

Really great folks. First time glamping and enjoyed the time. Wildlife came by first evening and I think it was three elk, but was dusk and made I. D. Hard.

Pleasant and relaxing getaway for family

We had a truly wonderful time at the casita. The amenities, atmosphere, host, and communication were very well done. We spent three nights with our young daughters (3,5,7 y.o.) and felt safe, secluded and relaxed the entire time. Amenities of mini-fridge, chimnea, grille, and seating areas were all perfect. We recommend this for a quiet getaway with the peacefulness of camping minus the hassle!

The Most Incredible Getaway

If you’re lucky enough to stay on this little slice of heaven you will get to enjoy luxury camping at its finest. The spacious canvas tent was perfectly decorated and stocked with everything you would need from wood for the stove to keep you warm at night to locally sourced lavender tea and coffee to enjoy while you watch the sunrise from bed. The home cooked meal was only the cherry on top of a perfect stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Great glamping experience

What a wonderful stay in a beautiful tent. Efficient and easy-to-use wood-burning stove kept us cozy all night and outside chiminea kept us warm as we enjoyed the evening. Calves nearby were sweet and cute. Everything was provided to fully enjoy the experience. Outhouse is simple (no running water), but clean. Outdoor shower was COLD and invigorating. The kids (7, 7, and 3) had an amazing time. For those with kids, do keep in mind that there is a nearby barbed wire fence and an electric fence (for the cows) so there needed to be some supervision there, but it certainly didn't take away from the great stay.

We enjoyed staying and having this glamping experience. They have thought of everything. The outdoor shower was so nice, having the outdoor kitchen made it easy for meals. Kids are already asking if we can stay there next year

Peaceful and perfect

My kids and I stayed here for 2 nights. So peaceful. We relaxed, hung out, played games, had a fire, and soaked up the view. We even saw deer! It’s only 30 minutes from Durango which is where we shopped in the afternoon. I highly recommend this place!

Great Escape

Elk Ridge Casita was the perfect location to escape to for a few days. We enjoyed the isolation, the incredible dark sky and star gazing. Meg's cooking was great and made us feel right at home. The wood stove in the tent kept us warm through the chilly nights.

Nice glamping spot

Overall, a nice experience. So convenient to have warm running water and still be a part of nature. The tent is on the back of the owners property and since they have cattle about 10 yards from the site, there are hundreds of flies. Unfortunately, the only fly swatter provided was broken. As far as location, I was hoping there would be access to hiking, but since this is on the owners property, it's surrounded by barbed wire. It's only a 30 minute drive from durango and convenience stores are within 10 minutes. There were plenty of blankets and even a very large heatong blanket! This is worth the glamping experience.

Superb Accommodations

I highly recommend staying here. The owners have knocked it out of the park with the view and providing everything that one may need for a glamping experience. The owners were quick to respond and ensured we had everything we needed. Location is 30 minutes from Durango and a beautiful drive there. This place felt very secluded but still safe. Definitely check this place out! 5 stars all the way!!!

glamping

Some of the kitchen equipment needs upgrading and the gas grill leaked a little. We didn't bring any of our camp cooking equipment along because we thought it would all be provided so cooking our meals was a bit of a challenge.

Ruffing It

Well what can I say about this property except that it was awesome and my family and I really enjoyed staying there. To take a trip to Durango was easy and fast, so we were able to enjoy everything around us. The property offers great electricity and very good hospitality in making sure that we were doing well from the hosts.

Enjoyed staying at this peaceful campsite to unplug from the world for a bit. We took advantage of the gourmet meals offered so we wouldn’t have to go anywhere. We were not disappointed! Just wish we could’ve stayed longer.
