    We wish there were more stars to check for the dining! What wonderful breakfasts & desserts. Walter & Jodi's generous hospitality was the icing on the top. Add all this to the beautiful snow covered mountains, endless activities, great restaurants, and quaint village shopping and you have all the makings for a wonderful get-away. Don't miss out on the scenic ride to Silverton and Ouray!

    My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights as a getaway. Though we didn't do anything nominal or exciting, the stay was exactly what we needed. We were able to truly sit back and relax! There were 5 deer that visited within 10 feet of our room windows, a real wood fireplace in the common area, complimentary beverages, hot tub, incredible evening dessert, as well as very tasty and unique breakfasts. We enjoyed every moment of our stay; the hosts were so open and friendly. We highly recommend Country Sunshine as the perfect getaway!

    The positive reviews for Walter and Jodi's Country Sunshine Bed and Breakfast are justified and then some. My wife and I had a lovely weekend staying there. Walter and Jodi were very gracious and clearly enjoy what they are doing, which really helps the experience. Walter's breakfasts as well as evening desserts are delicious. Make sure not to save room during dinner. The weather was not ideal for part of our stay but fortunately the B&B is a comfortable place to relax, have a cookie and some tea, and watch the bird feeder outside. They have a small hot tub outside, so don't forget to bring your bathing suite to take full advantage of the facilities. Walter and Jodi have two very friendly dogs and a cat that pretty much stayed downstairs. We were not aware of the cat when we booked the B&B and were a bit concerned because we both are allergic to cats. Fortunately, they keep the place very clean and must have a really good air filter because the cat was never an issue, even during the couple of hours that we spent in the basement. The B&B is located a bit over 10 miles from downtown Durango, which is a small price to pay for the quiet and solitude. Overall, we had a great time and look forward to coming back. Highly recommended!
