Beautiful setting, great breakfast, professional and friendly staff. The bed and breakfast is about 15-20 minutes from Durango. Stayed in the Cabin by the Lake. Cabin was perfect for our family of 10. Three floors each with a bedroom and bathroom. Full kitchen on middle floor. Two large decks overlooking the lake. Kids had fun feeding the turtles in the lake while the fisherman fished a private portion of the gold medal waters of the Animas River with access provided by Shirley the owner of Blue Lake Ranch. Fished parts of two days and caught and released around 150 mostly rainbow trout and a few brown trout. Largest rainbow was 3-3 1/2# and the largest brown was a trophy weighing around 6# and 22”long. Took the train to Silverton also visited Mesa Verde and even took an afternoon trip to Telluride. All three of these are must do’s while there. Blue Lake Ranch is the perfect hub for activities around the Durango area. Will definitely stay here next time in Durango!

This is the third time I’ve stayed at Blue Lake Ranch: a room; a casita, and a cottage. The lodging options are all superb. This B&B is outstanding in every way: stunning location; gorgeous flowers; delicious breakfasts. And it’s conveniently located to see the many sights in SW Colorado.

The casita we stayed in was beautiful. The decor was nice. The beds were comfortable. The room had a nice whirlpool tub. The paths on the grounds were nice but could be cleaned up a bit. The only disappointing thing was the breakfast. Based on their website I expected something fabulous. What we got was soggy, stale waffles, dried out pastries that were cut into one-inch squares, some fruit, and awful coffee. We overheard the next table ask about eggs. My husband asked too. The woman said she didn’t make any that day but could whip up some. I happened to see a bowl of cold scrambled eggs covered with plastic wrap on the cutting board. She put a few spoonfuls of that on two plates, one for each table. It was embarrassing and extremely disappointing. After all the hype about the wonderful breakfast - we had a better breakfast at the Hampton Inn the next night of our travels. The rest of the stay was lovely but don’t get your hopes up about the breakfast.

Fantastic location with great views. It has a lot of potential but is starting to look a little run down. The grounds could use some work and the trails around the property need help. Depending on the cook, breakfast ranged from great to the awful.

10 out of 10!! Intimate southwest flavor stunning. Absolutely love it!! Perfect in every way. Off the eaten path. Bring food. Only 1 restaurant nearby and that one is for dinner and requires reservations. Buy food in Durango or Mancos. Do not miss this place
