    The Best Place to Stay in Durango

    April 02, 2013

    Walter and Jodi are amazing hosts! Walter is a World Class chef and not only are his breakfasts out of this World he makes dessert every evening as well. I'm not talking about serving up ice cream and cake....Home made rum cake, flourless chocolate cake, lemon tart.....There is also a well stocked fridge for guest use. Full of water, sodas, and even numerous selections from the local brewing company. The grounds are beautiful, well maintained and inviting. The rooms (at least ours) was very large and decorated beautifully. You will not find a better value, better food, or more hospitable place and people anywhere in Durango! Chris Jackson

    The best!

    March 30, 2013

    I was visiting family in AZ & they took me to their favorite BnB in Durango. They are BnB lovers, so I was excited to visit their fave. Now it is my favorite too! Everything one could want in a BnB--beautiful setting, tastefully decorated, comfy beds, and five star breakfasts. Best of all, the hosts, Walter and Jodi, clearly love what they do and go out of their way to make their guests feel welcome.
