We had a great time! The cabin was perfect!

10.0 / 10.0

This was a touch of heaven for us! The guest house was beautiful and relaxing. The property was magical with lovely evening walks to enjoy the company of coonhounds, horses and gorgeous sunsets. Francie was so much fun and we absolutely loved how welcoming she was in enjoying all aspects of her ranch. 20 out of 10!! Thank you so much! It’s our goal to return someday soon for sure!

10.0 / 10.0

Thankful to have found this place. Francie was a great host and we were blessed to meet the horses that stay on the property.

10.0 / 10.0

Our stay at HD ranch could not have been better. A very secluded ranch, but not very far from the town of Durango. The house was clean and the surroundings exceptionally beautiful. Our stay far exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend it to other traveler.

10.0 / 10.0

We appreciate you for sharing your little slice of heaven with us! We spent all of our time sitting outside watching mama bird feed her brand new babies in the nest across from the front door, loving on the dogs, and watching the horse play out front. We had such a great time, thank you again!

10.0 / 10.0

We LOVED our stay at the ranch! Frances was so welcoming and let my daughter and I watch her do training with the horses. My daughter got to wander the ranch and greet horses. So peaceful and beautiful!

10.0 / 10.0

My husband, son and I stayed two nights at this incredible location while traveling through Colorado. It was the perfect distance from Durango and gave us a great at home feeling. The owner was very welcoming and has a beautiful ranch you can explore. Great place for kids to run and get energy out. The owner has three dogs who were welcoming and very friendly! Our only regret is that we did not stay longer. We would love to visit again!

We had a great trip and enjoyed the peacefulness of the ranch. The cabin was perfect for a quick getaway with friends.

This was our jumping off point for Mesa Verde National Park. It's a short drive to Durango and about 45 minutes to Mesa Verde.

Loved the space, quiet & yet so close to Durango...was perfect!!

10.0 / 10.0

Quiet seclusion is exactly what you get. The horses and dogs made the stay feel more unique. The night skies were fabulous and the home was everything we could have hoped for. Thank you for helping make our stay in Durango memorable

10.0 / 10.0

It’s really a perfect location. Durango is just a short drive away, but it’s also very private and very quiet. Francie, the hounds and the horses are all great. It simply doesn’t get any better.

10.0 / 10.0

We stayed a week at this property and it was just wonderful. It is a beautiful horse ranch that is very secluded and quiet. It’s about 20 minutes to the nearest town. There’s tons to do with Durango and Mesa Verde fairly close.

10.0 / 10.0

The cabin was so cosy to return to after a day of exploring. So convenient for exploring both Mesa Verde and Durango hikes. The kitchen had everything we needed.Loved sitting on the deck watching and listening to the birds. The perfect place to de stress . I loved it!

8.0 / 10.0

The Ranch is a perfect, quiet location. Located near Durango, we were able to venture out to the Mesa Verde and Silverton. I would definitely recommend a stay there.

10.0 / 10.0

This was a great place to stay and we will definitely stay there again.

10.0 / 10.0

The entire ranch was beautiful and well maintained. The scenery is outstanding! The cabin we stayed in was a good size and clean (the only exception was the oven/needs cleaning). For me personally, I couldn’t sleep on the double bed (too firm and I felt like I was uneven) but slept ok in one of the single beds upstairs. The host was friendly and attentive. I would recommend this vrbo to anyone who loves to get away from the town and have some tranquility.

10.0 / 10.0

Great place to relax and unwind. Was a great base camp to also explore Durango and Mesa Verde! Loved it.

10.0 / 10.0

We have stayed here several times and it never cease to amaze us. Far from enough from town where the stars are bright and close enough for dinner and or sight seeing!

10.0 / 10.0

The wife and I were looking for a place torelax and have a home base to explore the Durango area from. Well this was the perfect spot! We enjoy remote locations to stay in. HD Ranch fit this requirement perfectly. The daily visits from the 3 Hound Dogs was the icing on the cake for us. We will definitely consider this in the future when traveling through the area.

10.0 / 10.0

Nice little cabin away from the city but still close enough to enjoy Historic Durango. Wonderful view of the mountains. Kids enjoyed giving the dogs treats when the dogs would come over in the morning. We would definitely stay here again.

10.0 / 10.0

We really enjoyed this property for its scenic beauty and affordability. We were looking for a quiet mountain retreat in the country to spend Christmas and Francine’s property fit the bill. Cabin was beautiful and clean, hosts were attentive. We would stay here again!

Second year to stay on the HD Ranch. Such a wonderful time and beautiful place to stay as a family. Francie is very kind and welcoming. Just down the road from Durango so it’s very convenient.

Only downside is the hot tub was broken and we didn't know until a couple days before arrival. No indication whether or not it will be repaired/replaced any time soon or ever. Everything else was fantastic - thank you Francie!

Hiking in the area, looking for unique arrangements. This certainly met the bill. Enjoyed stargazing from the porch- very rural location

10.0 / 10.0

After 4 days in Colorado Springs, this was the peaceful part of vacation we were craving. Comfortable. Bed- comfy. Water- nice and hot and no issues. Beautiful scenery- sunrises and sunsets. We are into photography and got great horse shots and even some dark-sky Milky Way shots from the porch. Central location for Durango, Mesa Verde, San Juan Skyway for a beautiful drive to Telluride or Million Dollar Highway to MOLAS Pass. Lots of beautiful hikes. Perfect location and the dogs were fun and a HoooooT. Slept great!!

10.0 / 10.0

My partner and I stayed here for two nights as a first stop on a 7 day roadtrip. It was truly a special experience - close enough to Durango where we can go into town for dinner and activities (around a 25 minute drive) but far enough to enjoy the quiet of the ranch, the vast landscape views, and evening stargazing. We saw deer in the morning and loved the dogs that came by to say hi and ask for biscuits! I enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the horses graze while having a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Check in and check out was smooth and easy and the cabin was clean, cozy, but also spacious. We would definitely stay here again.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful horses and sweet dogs! The cabin was lovely and comfortable.

10.0 / 10.0

This location is less than 30 minutes away from Durango, but makes you feel like you are far, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. The cabin is inviting, spacious, and filled with natural light. I enjoyed walking around the property and meeting all the horses, dogs, and other wildlife. I made most of my meals and enjoyed them outside at the picnic table and enjoyed the views. I left super relaxed and recharged. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for some quiet time.

10.0 / 10.0

This place is very nice and good size. Beautiful outdoor scenery. I would love to go back sometime.

8.0 / 10.0

HD Ranch is an amazing and unique find. In the morning we sipped coffee on the porch watching the birds. The hounds usually stopped by for scratches and cookies as well. In the evenings we watched beautiful sunsets. The clear skies and minimal light pollution offered brilliant star gazing. Francie is wonderful and responsive and took care of issues as they arose. We were a bit bummed the hot tub was broken, but we understand the difficulty in getting service and parts. The property is remote, yet close enough to Durango to pop in for dinner or supplies. The guest house is comfortable, with all the necessary amenities for a short or long stay. The AC unit did have a bit of difficulty due to the heat, so the house got a bit warm in the afternoons, but opening the windows at night cooled it off quickly. It's a working horse ranch, if you enjoy horses and dogs you'll feel right at home. If you're looking quiet and serenity this is the place

We loved staying at Francie’s ranch for our elopement in Silverton. It was so quaint and the cutest log cabin. We enjoyed gazing up at the stars the night we got married as well. Be prepared for the dogs to come by and pay a visit! Our daughter loved them.
