Apple Orchard Inn

Like many guests, we came to celebrate an anniversary. The cottage was adorable, the breakfasts remarkable, and the stay memorable. You can't go wrong selecting this place for a special weekend.

Great location, very friendly, good food, lots of fun! Highly reccomend. Will be back!

Pros: Quiet, clean, nice rooms, good breakfast, nice hostess, free wireless Internet. Cons: uncomfortable feather mattress, dog-gate on stairs (I love dogs, but the gate is a hindrance to guests), no chocolate-chip cookies after 6 pm when we arrived as advertised (picky, I know), very slow Internet (my tethered Blackberry was faster).

Very nice pace. Room was great and Kathi was a great host. Definitely recommend!

The room was beautiful and cozy. Everything was there that you needed and the innkeeper was always at hand. The maid was a bit unpleasant, but we only required her twice. Overall i had a wonderful stay! We will definitely return.

We had stayed there before but not since Kathy took over. It is still a wonderful B&B to stay at and we will return.

We were extremely impressed by our stay at the Apple Orchard Inn. Kathi was very hospitable and helpful when it came to suggestions when it came to dinner ideas and where we could shop for unique souveiners. Not only do we wish to spend our first anniversary there, but we have been recommending a stay there to all our friends and family. The rooms were very clean, comfy and cozy and the breakfasts were so scrumptous. We loved our stay and most definately we will be back to visit there.

We stayed at the Apple Orchard Inn for our honeymoon and had the best time! The cottage we stayed in was cozy and charming. Kathi's service and hospitality were outstanding. We could not have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend the Apple Orchard Inn to anyone visiting the Durango, Colorado area!

Great position, lovely surroundings, beautiful gardens and interesting breakfasts. Happy hour is an added bonus, but an area where guests in the main house can make tea or coffee during the day would be appreciated.

My fiancé and I stayed at the Apple Orchard Inn on a recent overnight trip to Durango for a college visit. We had never stayed at a bed and breakfast before and this was a completely wonderful experience. We were in the Jona Gold room and it was bigger than we thought. The room was clean and, to my standards, quite cute. :) It was great. It's only 10 miles from Fort Lewis College so it's not that far from restaurants and such. I would definitely recommend this cute bed and breakfast.

it was the first time my wife and I stayed in a B&B so we did not know what to expect from the moment we got there till we left we felt welcome and part of the family, Kathi is an awesome innkeeper and the B&B is a story book experience we will be back many times

We stayed in one of the Apple Orchard Cottages and it was just great! We loved the yards, the scenery, the cottage's privacy, and the breakfasts. The owner, Kathi, was great and so helpful when we had a question. We enjoyed our stay and found the Apple Orchard Inn one of the best B & B's we've stayed in.

This is such a cute place. We stayed in the Rome Beauty room which has a lovely fireplace-it matches the one downstairs. My only regret about our stay is that we didn't stay in once of the cottages on the property because after seeing them in person they looked even cozier than online. The grounds are exceptional at this B&B-the gardener is amazing! Simply beautiful.

Stayed for one evening in the main house (Apple Orchard also has cottages). The room was large, clean and well appointed. The T.V. was tiny, probably a 13 inch tube T.V. My only real complaint about the Apple Orchard was the kitchen noise which started at about 6:00 AM and woke both me and my wife out of a sound sleep. I understand that cooking can be noisy, but this was REALLY NOISY. My advice is to stay in one of the cottages to avoid the early morning kitchen clatter of banging pots and pans, slamming cupboard doors and coffee beans being ground.

We spent one night at the Apple Orchard Inn but wished we could have stayed longer. It is a beautiful place with a gracious host. If we go back to Durango I want to stay there again.

Beautiful grounds. Could not ask for friendlier service. The best B & B we have ever visited.

Everything about this B and B is exceptional. Fun, friendly, accommodating, host who is a stellar chef, to boot. The best breakfasts I have yet encountered. The coffee was good, if a little weak for my tastes, but equal or superior to the usual diner coffee. Most breakfasts were two courses, with a generous amouse bouche in the form of a fruit parfait, followed by a hearty breakfast special PLUS eggs and meat. I actually had Eggs Benedict one morning. You will not regret your choice to stay here, even if you have business in downtown Durango. The drive to and from town is by no means a chore. The hot springs, which were literally down the road from the inn, were easy to access and a nice way to end my days in the area. I fully recommend staying here.

Finding a place like Apple Orchard Inn simply by clicking on a Web link is a traveler's dream. AOI exceeded every expectation we had. The gardens are remarkable, like being in the English countryside [honestly]; the breakfasts are scrumptious and creative, with homemade pastries available at every seating; the cabins are spotlessly clean...even the windows!; the owner and staff are friendly and eager to please. If we are ever in the Durango, Colorado area again, we won't have to surf the Web to decide where to stay. There's only one choice: Apple Orchard Inn.

We stayed at the Apple Orchard Inn for two days and loved it! The grounds are gorgeous and the rooms are charming and clean. Kathi was a great host and her breakfasts were delicious. Since this bed and breakfast was outside of town it was very quiet which was exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely stay there again.

Stayed in the Roman Beauty room - stunning vista, lovely feel, brilliant outdoor hot tub, but... lumpy bed! Recommend a mattress change. Kathi was welcoming and helpful, and cooks a delicious breakfast. Highly recommend staying here for a quiet getaway.

I was pleasantly surprised upon our arrival. We had a stand alone cabin with a TV and refig!! Very clean and well appointed!

Outstanding in every way. One small suggestion. It would have been helpful if there had been a handle in the tub/shower. With the soft water, the tub was very slippery. I would have felt safer with something to hold onto getting in and out of the shower. Would not keep me from going back...at all. Delightful experience!

We were met by Kathi (the owner) upon check in and shown around. The house is beautifully quaint. The grounds are alive with apple trees, flowers, ponds, fresh running creeks, all kept by a full time grounds keeper. The day before our departure, Kathi knew we were going to be heading out quite early, so she had the coffe pot all ready for us and two box lunches in the frig. We will definately be back. This was our out of the heat of East Texas trip.

A delightful stay in a beautiful location. Perfectly located for our stop in Durango.

This was a beautiful place to stay. The cottages were unique, comfortable and clean. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Would recommend it to anyone!

Host was very friendly and made sure if we needed anything or not. the Rome Beauty was spacious with fireplace and Jacuzzi tub. the outdoor spa was great. She should bake some homemade cookies at night. We left a bottle of wine in the fridge as a tip! Wireless was great and sounds of the train going nearby the house. Beautiful Setting! If you can afford the outdoor cottages for privacy you will love the sound of the water stream going by the windows of the Red Barron.

The hot tub was wonderful. The room was very clean and the food excellent. It was very not that evening without much breeze so had trouble sleeping. Other than that, it was a great experience.

This is a lovely place. The landscaping is incredible, especially the flowers and babbling brooks. The cottages are well designed and beautifully appointed. The innkeeper was friendly, informative and a great cook. The only disappointment was the plumbing. Water trickled out of the shower and the faucets didn't turn in the right direction. Even so, we would definitely go back.

Apple Orchard Inn was such a beautiful place - the grounds were outstanding with flowers and running streams. It was so peaceful and quiet. We will definitely stay there again if the opportunity arises.

Apple Orchard Inn is conveniently located for any vacation activity. We especially enjoyed a quiet evening dinner at the Dalton Springs Golf Club restaurant several times, recommended by our host. The staff at AOI were friendly while allowing us privacy. Scenery is tranquil and beautiful with the stream running through the grounds, outlined by all the flowers - wild and cultivated alike! We rented a cottage and were completely satisfied with all amenities.

You won't find a more beautiful and inviting B&B, and I've stayed in many! We've stayed in 2 of the cottages and rooms in the house - equally great From cozy beds to wine/beer time with homemade cookies daily, a full, delicious breakfast the way you like it, amazing setting (gardens to die for surrounded by mountain ridges), and Kathi, a wonderful Innkeeper, you just can't go wrong! We'll be back!!

My wife and I have stayed at the Apple Orchard Inn numerous times over the years and our experience is always delightful and enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a memorable get-away.

The grounds are very peaceful and beautifully maintained and it was a pleasure to relax with a glass of wine next to the stream after a day of hiking. Kathy is an excellent hostess, made us feel welcome and is a fabulous cook! Our room was clean, and the cool breezes through the trees outside of our room was a welcome relief from the summer heat. Would definitely recommend Apple Orchard Inn.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Apple Orchard Inn. The cottages are wonderful and romantic! The owner was pleasant and very helpful. Breakfasts were hearty and delicious. We didn't feel that the "goodies" served at happy hour really lived up to expectations. They consisted of cookies and some minimal salty snacks.

Stayed here for three nights (my second time at this B&B) and enjoyed it immensely. Kathi, the innkeeper, is very friendly & knows the area and its local restaurants very well. Her breakfasts are great and will get you through much of the day. The guest rooms and public areas are immaculate - and there is a free happy hour period every afternoon. It's a real pleasure to sit on the terrace after a day of touring and enjoy the beautiful grounds and a nice glass of wine. I will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Durango.

So, I was planning a romantic Birthday getaway for my wife, and I looked up B&B's in SW Colorado. This place is AWESOME! A friend of mine recommended it, and boy were we not disappointed. The ambiance is peaceful, and its location allows for a quaint and relaxing view. The gardens are kept in superb manner, and just invite to relax. The greeting is wonderful, and the owner's people skills are great, laid back and nice, agreeable. We stayed in the main house; Rome Beauty Room... ideal, fantastic and wonderful. It was very clean, I'd dare say immaculate. We have very high standards of cleanliness and this was one of my main fears, that the place was not clean enough, but it was spotless. The decor was not tacky, very tasteful. Bed was comfortable... slept like babies. Bathroom had a whirlpool tub, and also was clean. The chimney would have been an awesome touch during winter, Im sure. The next morning we woke up with the smell of breakfast being cooked, that my wife loved... I'm not such a fan of that, but it was a nice touch. Breakfast was great, hearty and enough to fill you up. Again, cannot find down sides to the service, other than perhaps its location is a little bit "hidden", not easy to find the first time. On the positive side also, its location is ideally close to Durango, CO. Just a short 10 min drive to Durango, CO that you cannot feel as the scenery is just awesome. By all means, book, stay, enjoy, and come again if you are thinking of it, do it! I know we are going to do it again, and we highly recommend it to people seeking a getaway. We did not stay in the cottages, however I cannot imagine that the conditions there are anything less than stellar.

Room was great- late June and the weather was hot during the day but cooled off nice at night. Kathi's breakfasts are the best and she scratch makes it all. Kathi ciouldn't do enough for you to make your stay memorable, found out I drank Iced tea and it was available all week. Nice quiet place, about 1/4 mile off of narrow gauge RR so you can hear it and almost see it. Would stay there again if I ever get back in area.

The grounds are very nice and tranquil. The food was excellent. The only complaint I had was the internet service was painfully slow. Other than that, I would definitely revisit.

We have been coming back to the Inn for several years and we always come always very happy and start planning our next trip there

A slice of heaven....My husband and I have been frequenting Bed & Breakfasts for the past 11 years. The Apple Orchard Inn is by far #1 on our list. It's location alone is breathtaking and the property, home and cottages are charming! The Inn Keeper, Kathi was so welcoming and helpful with all our needs. I give this B&B an A++++!!!

The Apple Orchard Inn was beautifully kept and landscaped. The proprietor was friendly and eager to please. The cottages were clean and we even had a hot tub near our cabin. My only recommendation would be a second breakfast option. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience.

This special B & B in the mountains near Durango is the perfect place for a relaxing visit to the area. Far enough out of town to escape the noise and partying that is always in Durango, but close enough to take part in anything that you might want to in town. The breakfasts are fantastic!! Hostess Kathi is the "perfect" B & B hostess. We plan many more visits to this place.

Our stay at the Apple Orchard Inn was very relaxing and a lot of fun. Kathi was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and the grounds and cottages were beautiful and well kept. We enjoyed sitting on the porch swing or by the pond, listening to the sound of the little creeks and enjoying the flowers. We highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

This was our 10th year at the Apple Orchard Inn in Durango, Colorado. If you are looking for a place to unwind and relax, this is it. Kathy Clamp makes a wonderful breakfast to help you get started in the morning. As far as we are concerned, we rate it A+++

We had a great time. The location was beautiful. The hostess made the stay very pleasant.

What a beautiful, peaceful setting. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Great quality and value. Kathy's breakfast was outstanding. Will definetly recommend and stay again if in area

Kathi, the owner, greeted us and made us feel at home right away. It was delightful to be offered a beer or a glass of wine and snacks when we arrived after a long nine hour drive. I would definitely recommend her B&B to everyone.

We spent an amazing two nights in Wolf River Cottage at the Apple Orchard Inn. Everything was lovely from the warm greeting by Kathi to the cottage to the fabulous fresh breakfast. Kathi even gifted the mothers with a box of candy for Mother's Day. Beautiful grounds...caring staff...we would recommend Apple Orchard Inn to everyone!!!

Kathy, the owner, provides a warm, welcoming atmosphere at this charming, well-kept inn. The rooms are spotless, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Breakfasts were outstanding each of the 3 days we were there. We had a small family reunion and everyone thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Kathy provided great recommendations for restaurants, hiking and activities.

The setting was very pretty, the inn was clean and comfortable, the room was really spacious, well layed out with a great bathroom. The owner was gracious and food was outstanding. This was our first stay in a B&B and it was a great introduction. I don't think we could have asked for a better experience.

The cottages were wonderful. I felt like I was in a dream world. The breakfasts were wonderful as well. I highly recommend the Apple Orchard Inn!

Cabin was perfect: fireplace, jacuzzi, private patio surrounded by migrating waterbird habitat. Bed and comfort controls were superb, as was the delicious and timely breakfast. -David & Wendy Stires

We have stayed at many bed and breakfasts over the years and this quickly became one of our favorites. Kathi is an amazing innkeeper--always willing to visit, help in any way, or just make the stay pleasant. The accommodations were very private, cozy, and clean. The semi-communal breakfast was good and the timing fit our schedule well. Overall, we enjoyed our stay immensely and didn't want to leave when the time came. We will definitely try to get back to stay there again.

The hospitality was great here, the food really really good, and the guests were all welcoming. The new owner did a fantastic job! We stayed in the Granny Smith room which was great with an awesome view of the gardens. Would definately go back!

My husband and I have stayed there 3 times now. Every time has been wonderful. The staff is very friendly, breakfasts are wonderful, rooms are clean and cozy. While it is very close to town, it feels so secluded when you are on the grounds. A perfect romantic getaway spot!

We stayed 2 night at the Apple Orchard Inn. The rooms were very spacious and clean. I enjoyed the jacuzzi both nights. The grounds were beautiful and the breakfast was wonderful. Our host Kathi was very gracious and provided us with information on local resturants and places to see. We really enjoyed our stay.

My husband and I wanted to get away for our first Christmas together as a married couple. I had never experienced a "white" Christmas, so we chose Colorado. The reviews of the Apple Orchard Inn rated it very high and it definitely delivered. The rooms were cozy and romantic and Kathi was a wonderful host and very helpful with ideas of things to see and do while we were in town. I highly recommend the Apple Orchard Inn to anyone looking for a great and comfortable place to stay in Durango.

The bedding and mattress were such a delight, and the personal hot tub outside the room under clear starlit skies will be a memory we cherish, too.

A one night stay is just not long enough - can't wait to return for a much longer stay - So quiet and peaceful. Loved our cottage. Kathi was so nice and personable

Beautiful site and room. Great hospitality and food. We look forward to a future stay.

We stay there every time we visit our grandchildren in Durango. It always exceeds our expectations. Kathi is the perfect innkeeper, maintaining the highest standards of excellence set by Celeste and John who owned the Apple Orchard Inn before Kathi. It truly feels like a 'second home' for us because Kathi is so friendly and accomodating. It is by far, the finest B&B in which we have stayed.

Everything was outstanding....possibly a bit pricey. We did not take advantage of Breakfast while there....therefore no comments regarding the Dining category

The innkeeper is very personable, attentive, and helpful. Durango got 2 feet of snow while we were there, but she managed to keep the drives, parking spots, and sidewalks plowed. The food was excellent, as was the scenery.

My husband and I chose this bed and breakfast for a little get away after christmas without the kids. It was definitely the right choice! Wonderful rooms, we loved the jetted tub in the bathroom and enjoyed drinking hot chocolate in front of the fireplace. Breakfast was terrific as well. I would definitely recommend Apple Orchard Inn.

although we had never stayed in a bed and breakfast before, Kathi and her staff made this a welcoming and friendly environment. We loved being part of her family for the holiday and will plan to stay there again!

The inn and the grounds are gorgeous! The breakfast is wonderful. Kathi is very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. The "Happy Hour" is such a treat and a nice way to meet the other guests. This is the nicest B&B we have ever stayed at and highly recommend it.

We enjoyed our stay at the Apple Orchard Inn immensely! Kathi was very helpful and friendly. The inn itself was absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for making our stay a great one!

Our stay was most delightful. We'll definitely come again!

My husband and I really enjoyed the stay. The room was nice and clean and relaxing. Walking around the grounds was nice also. The colors of fall and the smell of apples was in the air. It was great. We also enjoyed talking to the owner Kathy. She is very plesant and made us a great breakfast for Saturday and Sunday morning. I would recommend it to anyone who just wants to get away. We learned that you can catch the train up just a bit from the place, you don't have to drive into town to catch it. There was also a hiking trail just up the way from there, you can go mountain biking on it.

We have stayed at the Apple Orchard Inn over 50 nights over several years. We keep going back because of the outstanding accommodations, gourmet food and friendly, personal touch from John and Celeste. We have gone with a group of people and had dinner parties that were arraigned ahead of time. If you think Celeste’s breakfasts are great, the dinners are even better. John always provides local activity information makes sure you have a great stay.

My friend and I traveled to Durango and needed an affordable place to stay. Apple Orchard Inn was cozy, welcoming, and very lovely. Breakfast was delicious and Kathie was a fantastic host. You can't go wrong with a stay here.

This is a very pretty place to stay, comfortable though a bit nosy in the mornings when everyone is getting up. Very nice place to relax on the patio and beds were super comfortable. Easy 10 minutes to downtown Durango.

Beautiful setting and great location

really nice, well-maintained grounds, everything is very attractive. food was good and the innkeeper was friendly and helpful. not a bad distance from durango at all. we enjoyed our stay and will probably be back next time we are in the area.

Great place. The room was great and the bed was super comfy. Everyone was fantastic and friendly. I would definitley recommend this place to anyone.

Excellent choice to stay. Very quiet at night if you stay in a cottage...almost like having an entire B&B to yourself. The Fireside cottage was especially private and most mornings we shared the view with several deer. The breakfasts were super and the service exceptional. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning next year.

Great get away from the crowds, yet near to all in Sedona. The view from the patio is gorgeous. Food & service excellent. Loved having the hot and cool pools to soak in after a day of hiking. Also the private entry is a plus.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at the Apple Orchard Inn for our 14th anniversary! The accommodations were just perfect, and we really enjoyed the location. Our cottage was so cozy, and Celeste and John made everything so wonderful...from the food, to the restaurant recommendations, to their kind hospitality! We will definitely be back!!

We spent 3 wonderful days with Celeste & John and everything was wonderful. The rooms are beautiful and Celeste's breakfasts and cookies are out of this world.

We needed pampering with privacy. Impecablly clean yet friendly. Great Food, Great Atmosphere. We loved it and can't wait until we can return. You have to stay here.
