Camping in style away from it all

This spot was perfect for a low key weekend away. We backpack regularly, so having a hot shower and an electric kettle made it feel so luxurious! We loved sitting on the porch rocking chairs, and it was close enough to get to any Durango activities.

Great Escape

Elk Ridge Casita was the perfect location to escape to for a few days. We enjoyed the isolation, the incredible dark sky and star gazing. Meg's cooking was great and made us feel right at home. The wood stove in the tent kept us warm through the chilly nights.

Amazing experience!

We enjoyed this adventure for sure! Great accomodations! It was colder than we anticipated so the lack of hot water was a little bit of a challenge but we embraces it and enjoyed! The view is amazing! The most amazing view of the stars.

Superb Accommodations

I highly recommend staying here. The owners have knocked it out of the park with the view and providing everything that one may need for a glamping experience. The owners were quick to respond and ensured we had everything we needed. Location is 30 minutes from Durango and a beautiful drive there. This place felt very secluded but still safe. Definitely check this place out! 5 stars all the way!!!

Ruffing It

Well what can I say about this property except that it was awesome and my family and I really enjoyed staying there. To take a trip to Durango was easy and fast, so we were able to enjoy everything around us. The property offers great electricity and very good hospitality in making sure that we were doing well from the hosts.

Unplug and breathe

Enjoyed staying at this peaceful campsite to unplug from the world for a bit. We took advantage of the gourmet meals offered so we wouldn’t have to go anywhere. We were not disappointed! Just wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Nice glamping spot

Overall, a nice experience. So convenient to have warm running water and still be a part of nature. The tent is on the back of the owners property and since they have cattle about 10 yards from the site, there are hundreds of flies. Unfortunately, the only fly swatter provided was broken. As far as location, I was hoping there would be access to hiking, but since this is on the owners property, it's surrounded by barbed wire. It's only a 30 minute drive from durango and convenience stores are within 10 minutes. There were plenty of blankets and even a very large heatong blanket! This is worth the glamping experience.

Peaceful and perfect

My kids and I stayed here for 2 nights. So peaceful. We relaxed, hung out, played games, had a fire, and soaked up the view. We even saw deer! It’s only 30 minutes from Durango which is where we shopped in the afternoon. I highly recommend this place!

WE had a wonderful time and enjoyed the peaceful glamping experience. Everything was very nice. I would just recommend a few pots to cook in and an extra trash bag or two. Those were huge issues for us so we just continued enjoying ourselves.

Pleasant and relaxing getaway for family

We had a truly wonderful time at the casita. The amenities, atmosphere, host, and communication were very well done. We spent three nights with our young daughters (3,5,7 y.o.) and felt safe, secluded and relaxed the entire time. Amenities of mini-fridge, chimnea, grille, and seating areas were all perfect. We recommend this for a quiet getaway with the peacefulness of camping minus the hassle!
