The Cabin at Little Ranch

Excellent property-backs up to the San Juan Forest with plenty of hiking. Good security, and cute animals all around. We saw deer, hummingbirds, prairie dogs (marmots?), and other wildlife. 10/10 will stay again.

Quiet Escape, Conveniently Located

This little cabin is cozy, quiet and tidy. Located in a sweet spot just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Durango but close enough... Bayfield is even closer, with a nice grocery store. Well equipped, nicely laid out and very comfortable.

enjoyed our stay at the cabin

My wife and I had a great experience staying at the cabin near Bayfield, Co. The location was fantastic. We had access to hiking nearby and was close to Durango. The cabin is located in the forest which made it very quiet. James was a great host. He gave us good suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area. The cabin was very clean and was well equipped with all the essentials for a nice stay. We would definitely go back there.

So relaxing

We had a great time at the cabin. Not only were we able to be close to fly fishing and hiking, but we had plenty of time to just do nothing. The cabin is nestled in the trees. Every morning we awoke to songbirds. It was truly a blessing for our family and a peaceful time.

Wonderful stay at the Little Ranch

Wonderful property off the beaten path. It’s in a beautiful setting with lots of privacy in the lovely Colorado pines. It was well stocked with a very comfy bed. Conveniently located between Durango and Pagosa Springs, you can quickly get to either location. We were lucky enough to wake up to a fresh snowfall in March! Overall I’d give it two thumbs up.

Wonderful cabin in the woods

Loved the beautiful peaceful location at the edge of the San Juan National Forest! Stayed with my husband and brother over Thanksgiving weekend. We were able to cook lots of delicious food in the well-stocked kitchen and were super cozy during the first big snowstorm of the year. James was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. We hope to stay again, we have family nearby and this was the perfect spot to stay. Thanks!

Perfect Fit!

The cabin was a perfect fit! It was clean, well maintained and very comfortable. The kitchen was easy to cook in and fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, utensils, etc. We had trouble with the TV because the signal was weak but decided to enjoy a TV free week which turned out to be extremely peaceful! Thank you James! Your cabin is perfect!

Absolutely Wonderful

We had an amazing time enjoying the cabin and mountains in the snow. Even with the cold the Cabin was so warm and cozy. It is extremely clean and beautiful to rest and relax. It was our second time to rest and refresh. (The first time was in the summer.) It just beautiful both times but watching the snow fall and the deer was so peaceful. The cabin is also surrounded by forest and you feel like you are away from civilization but 5 minutes to the grocery store, restaurants and other stores. Thank you so much to James and Connie Vaughn for your hospitality. We can't wait to come again.

Great getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Little Ranch! The cabin was PERFECT for us! It’s a beautiful location, tucked away in the woods but easy to get to nearby attractions. James was a great host, responding quickly to any questions and gave great recommendations for the area. The Durango train ride to Silverton was truly fantastic and we had fun exploring the local national parks very close by as well as a little hiking around the cabin itself. We ate breakfast everyday on the peaceful porch as we watched hummingbirds. Bedding and towels are of good quality, kitchen is stocked nicely. Everything was incredibly clean and well thought out. Finding the place was easy too and there is a local grocery nearby. James has set up a wonderful retreat. We will definitely stay here again when we’re in the area.
