It is a great quiet location and (relatively) close to many fun and interesting activities and my conference location in Ignacio!

Becky and Don were great hosts. The cabin had all of the amenities promised and was ready to move in and enjoy when we arrived. It's located within 5 min. of Navajo Reservoir and was a little oasis to excape the summer heat at the end of the day. The western decor was fun and we appreciated the quality linens and well outfitted kitchen. Don and Becky made it seamless providing thorough instructions and checking in to make sure we had what was needed.

Navajo Lake Cabin Getaway is a great retreat, quiet and remote. Becky & Don made my experience comfortable and enjoyable with all the amenities of home. Love the western art and décor. Two nice seating decks to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. Navajo Lake is beautiful. Thank you Becky and Don!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! The place is decorated with a Western theme that we loved, especially my husband. All amenities are there plus extra comforts like games and movies. The views are spectacular. Navajo Lake is just down the hill. Becky quickly answered my questions. I wish we could have stayed longer!

The cabin was great, everything was clean and decorated very nice. Close to Navajo Lake where the fishing was great. Would not hesitate to use the cabin again sometime in the future. Thxs great place!

Great little getaway. This place is very close to the boat ramp if you are looking to fish on Navajo. Bed was extremely comfortable. Kitchen is fully equipped minus a dishwasher. We really enjoyed sitting outside on the patio in the evenings around the chiminea. Lots of cute furnishings. We would definitely rent here again if we return to Navajo.

Had a great time at Don and Becky's cabin near Navajo Lake. We wanted a quiet relaxing getaway weekend and got exactly that from this place. The cabin is well stocked with everything we needed to cook and enjoy ourselves. The back deck is large and comfortable and had a great view of the valley and lake. Becky and Don were great hosts. Don answered the phone right away when I called, and answered all of our questions. They hike he suggested in nearby Pagosa Springs was the highlight of our trip. Thanks Becky and Don

We loved this place! Becky & Don's cabin is perfectly equipped for however long you'll visit, we were here for an extended stay after recently moving to the area and had a fantastic time. We loved the location—perfect sunsets, great walks, and tons of wildlife viewing all from either front or back deck. Navajo lake is gorgeous and a must see if you get a chance to go out on the water. All the neighbors were friendly if you need anything and Becky & Don are excellent hosts! We'd definitely recommend this place to any friends or family visiting.

My girlfriend and I stayed with Monika for 2 nights in July, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. First of all the property is stunning. The ranch buildings were rustic and picturesque, and they were especially charming nestled into the lush greens and yellows of the trees and grasses on the hills and and fields around them. There are interesting historical features on the property and it abuts a national forest on the far side of the San Juan River that runs through it. It would be easy to spend a few days just exploring the area. The hospitality was exceptional. Monika is extremely warm and generous, and within a few minutes of our arrival we felt right at home. Our room was in the loft above the barn and was cozy, charming, and had almost any amenity you can think of. This included a small fridge and dual burner hot plate with pots and pans for cooking. A lovely little patio extended onto the roof, and we used our camping stove to cook our first meal while enjoying the view. The bathroom was quite large, and had also been prepared lovingly with lots of lots of extra toiletries. On both mornings we took advantage of Monika’s homemade breakfast. We had delicious french toast both times, but were offered several choices. We were also able to pick our own time for breakfast, which was much appreciated. We also greatly enjoyed Monika’s company. She is a fascinating and inspiring woman, with a vivacious personality and a delightful sense of humor. She loves animals more than anyone I’ve ever met, and treats her small herd of horses like her children. When they’re not grazing they have the run of the barnyard, and it's a real treat to be approached by a beautiful pony when you’re relaxing on the porch or walking to the farm house. We took a guided horse ride that proved to be a memorable experience. We became active participants is the process even before the horses were saddled, and helped after dismounting when we returned. If you’re considering a ride be aware that these are not animals who ride the same trail multiple times a day for years. These are spirited animals that respond to subtle cues, so if you’re a beginner consult with Monika before your arrival. Overall this B and B is a gem, a one-of -a-kind experience that should not be missed.

What a wonderful stay! The loft was cozy and charming, and there is a little balcony from which we gazed at the stars at night. There is a small kitchen area with all the basic necessities, including a hot plate and mini fridge. On the first floor is a barn area along with the bathroom. Monika was an incredibly gracious and fun host, and we loved hearing about her life on the ranch with her Icelandic horses. She cooked a fantastic breakfast for us each morning with coffee, fresh baked bread, with a choice of eggs and bacon, or French toast. I did went on two horseback rides with Monika through incredible terrain on her lovely, very friendly horses. Highly recommend this airbnb for anyone seeking a quiet getaway in nature.

This is the most amazing location. You are at a working horse farm an hour away from civilization on a dirt road. If you want peace this is the place. It's rustic, right in the barn but with modern amenities. There is a river running thru the property and you are five miles from navado lake state park. Monika is wonderful and every morning she serves fresh eggs. A perfect get away from civilization. It's also an hour from Pagosa springs and all its hiking options. This is great base to come back to before dark. A great nature, horse riding adventure.

Had a fantastic two night stay at Hestar Ranch over Labor Day weekend 2016. We were initially concerned about being able to find it in the dark after reading another review, but Monika's instructions to the ranch were very specific and my iPhone GPS (ATT) actually worked all the way. The ranch is enchanting, an authentic working horse facility, with the requisite smells of manure and hay and saddlery (heaven to horse folks!). We were greeted by the entire herd of Icelandics at the fence as Monika greeted us warmly and led us up to the path to the barn. They are gentle inquisitive horses with great personalities, and it was so much fun learning about and interacting with them over the next two days as Monika shared stories about the horses and life on the ranch, all the while letting us intermingle with the herd in the paddock as she cared for them one by one. Monika is a warm and welcoming hostess, a passionate lifelong horsewoman with a wealth of stories and experience, which she will gladly share over breakfast or dinner. (We actually chose to have dinner at the ranch, BBQ-ing at dusk overlooking the paddock.) As for the dwelling, 'Bear Lodge', it is totally charming and rustic, just as in the pictures. The bathroom down below was also charming, with lots of hot water for the shower, as the water heater is right IN the bathroom. We also appreciated the sweet little deck outside the bedroom, with wicker chairs to sit and gaze at the stars--fantastic experience! The breakfast both mornings was hearty and tasty, eggs from Monika's 'chickees', home made bread (Yum!), bacon, and spiced cinnamon apples, washed down with coffee from colorful Pendleton horse mugs. A delight, and a perfect 'stick-to-your-ribs' meal that gives you staying power for the day. As for the location, it is right adjacent to Navaho Lake state park, a beautiful section of the state very close to the NM border. Our drive into Pagosa Springs on Sunday night was scenic--the sparkling blue Navaho Lake, Chimney Rock monument, with a rugged green wilderness backdrop--very peaceful to the soul. When we had to take off the next morning, we were sad to leave, as it was all too short a stay. Within 2 days, we had grown very fond of Monika and her animals (We forgot to mention her big and wonderful Swiss dog, Ivorree, who is a 'gentle giant' and a real character)... All in all, an unforgettable experience, which we hope to repeat one day soon. A huge thanks to Monika and all the wonderful animals at Hestar who made us feel so welcome...

Monika was very responsive and helpful before the trip and so welcoming and generous whilst we were there. She was also very helpful with information about places to visit and supplying maps and advice so we didn't get lost again! The ranch and all the animals are beautiful and it was such a peaceful place. Horses greeting me (behind a fence!) every morning is an experience I won't forget. We did get lost on the way there but once you know where you've gone wrong, it's not a problem and well worth the drive to stay in such a lovely spot. The barn is clean, cosy and comfortable, and the fresh bread and eggs for breakfast were delicious. I would recommend anyone to stay here and hope I can visit again.

Listing was just as described. A cozy loft above the barn, it was comfortable and cute. Adorable desk outside perfect for enjoying star gazing. I left door open as there is also a screen door. I enjoyed the cool night air and awoke to the wonderful sounds of water birds from the river close bye. It was so fun to sit on the porch of the main house morning and evening to watch and interact with the wonderful and super friendly Icelandic horses.

Monika the host is very personalble, joyful, and helpful. She cooked awesome breakfast for us daily.

The listing was as Monika described. It is a horse ranch and the private room is converted space in the loft of a barn. It is in a remote location, but we had no trouble reaching the ranch in the dry summer in a Honda Accord, but it would not be a suitable in the winter when a truck with 4 wheel drive would most likely be needed. Monika is very friendly, accommodating, gracious, makes terrific breakfasts, and has amazing talents to train and take care of her horses, chickens, dog and of course, her ranch. We enjoyed having coffee in the mornings or a cool beverage in the evening on her front porch or on our deck off the loft. We all pitched in and had a wonderful grilled salmon dinner one evening which was followed by a short trip to chimney rock for a night sky viewing program. We also enjoyed star-gazing in the clear Colorado skies from Monika's property and really enjoyed seeing the Milky Way that we can't see when living in the city due to city lights. We also enjoyed going on day trips to Pagosa Springs, local lakes, and to Durango to ride the narrow gauge rail train to Silverton. This is a perfect place to unwind, relax, commune with nature, and get away from the city. One note of caution when driving to the ranch for the first time, our GPS did not take us to the exact location of the ranch and there is no signal to call or get on the internet to review directions, so make sure you have good directions before you drive there and best to get there before dark the first time. Her ranch is between mile marker 30 and 31 and it is well marked and easy to see from the gravel road.

Love this place...totally great! See you again?

Renelle was awesome! We were not able to arrive on the property until pretty late and she had everything ready to go for us in the apartment. The space was gorgeous, the bed was so comfy, everything was great! We felt right at home!

Although it was only one night we really enjoyed our stay at Renelles place, everything was very clean and neat and the Netflix account is a nice touch. Would definitely recommend her place.

Renelle was a wonderful host and the place was immaculate and beautiful. She gave spot-on directions and the place felt as cozy as home. The perfect place for two and a dog. Would highly recommend it.

The place was beautiful and cozy. It was a tranquil, idyllic setting with plenty of land for my dog to run around and enjoy himself. Renelle was great as well, very helpful pre arrival and loved talking with her. Would definitely recommend!

Just give me the mortgage and let me move into this studio permanently! It is perfect for me! The studio is clean, safe, and very quiet. Renelle has done everything to make her guests feel welcome, and the studio is absolutely beautiful.

I wanted a private, safe, cozy, friendly place to stay where I could cook dinners for myself and enjoy the small town of Bayfield where I was taking a painting class. This was perfect. So much attention to detail I felt really taken care of.

We had a quick one-nite stay over at the Sanctuary and we really enjoyed it. Renelle is kick-ass and the place she's created is great. Our advice: stay there, relax and enjoy somewhere outside of Durango for a night!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The home was very clean and the outside area was beautiful and well kept. Brenda was very helpful and responsive if we had any questions. I would stay here again!

Lucky's cabin was a wonderful getaway. We made our request the day of and Lucky responded quickly and put me in contact with Stephanie regarding any concerns. Stephanie was very helpful and willing to stop by if we needed anything. The cabin was cozy and enjoyable and exceeded our expectations. We loved the lofted bed. Although the ladder wasn't the easiest way to get up to it, we made it work. The cabin is tucked away in the beautiful hillside and we were grateful to be in our Jeep while driving out on the muddy road. It really is a glamping experience and it's important to keep that in mind while (URL HIDDEN) as long as that's what you're looking for, this really is an amazing place to check out!

Wonderful location. Lucky was amazingly responsive to our inquiries. But, we did not know that there was no sink or anything to wash hands, do dishes, only a port o potty for potty needs, only wood for heat which burns out really fast. If we had known then fine but really misleading my the house description. Great host, great home, just not prepared for a camping situation.

Was just what we were looking for. Thanks for a great cheap option, we enjoyed our stay. :)

Passing thru town and needed a bed before a week of camping. Lucky got back to me right away. Simple place and was perfect for what I needed. The bed was top notch. Stay safe climbing in!

I've never used Air B&B prior to this. Lucky answered all my questions, and the description of the cabin is very accurate. It was a great place to stay!

Amazing find! Host provided almost everything you'd need. Long stays- be aware of road conditions if you're coming and going. Quick responses to any questions was definitely a plus!! Comfortable lounging and beautiful views, couldn't ask for more. Be ready to make a fire in the stove unless you wanna spring for more propane for the heater. No running water, some was provided, so a couple extra gallons came in handy based on usage. A true gem- would return!

We had a cozy weekend in Lucky's quaint cabin! It was as we expected, a simple "glamping" spot. I could tell the cabin was still under renovation so I didn't mind the smaller details. The steep mountain paths to the cabin was pretty difficult in the winter, Lucky might want to notify his future renters of the drive as it could get dangerous in icy conditions. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and thank you for hosting us! I'll definitely want to return again this summer for another quiet, solitude trip.

Really location. The seclusion was great.

Words can’t describe the wonderful experience we had at Bearly Heaven! From the beginning, Annie and Bruce were so helpful and eager to meet all of our wants and needs. The location is superb, as it feels secluded and it’s incredibly quiet. Even so, we felt very safe, knowing that the little town of Bayfield is about 10 minutes away, Pagosa Springs is maybe 35min away, and Durango is also about 35min the other direction. Annie and Bruce’s home is absolutely gorgeous – talk about peace!! A gorgeous cabin in the woods. The interior is beautiful as well – even better than the pictures! Don’t get me wrong, the pictures are great, but in person – wow!!! There’s plenty of room to play some board games in the living area, or you can just cozy up on the couch with a good book while looking up from time to time to enjoy the scenery around you. The living area has a lot of windows for you to enjoy the Colorado beauty. Everything was EXTREMELY clean. I didn’t even see so much as a random stray hair. The shower was great- nice pressure and hot water was plentiful. The bed was very comfortable- the only thing that got me out of bed was knowing those mountains were waiting for me. ;) We even got to watch movies before bed, as Annie and Bruce hooked up a TV and DVD player before our stay. This is far better than staying in any hotel, period. We caught ourselves saying at the end of the day, “let’s go home” (referring to our Bearly Heaven home)! Annie was so sweet to provide us with breakfast both mornings we were there – and it was delicious!! There are plenty of fun things to do in the area. For the outdoor enthusiasts, you can walk to a trailhead from the neighborhood for a nice hike, there’s horseback riding, fishing, skiing at Purgatory, snowshoeing, and more. There are a ton of scenic drives, horse-drawn sled rides during the winter, the hot springs in Pagosa Springs, the D&SNG Railroad in Durango (an absolute MUST), and shopping and restaurants in both Pagosa and Durango. I highly recommend the Diamond Belle Saloon if you’re in Durango. Annie and Bruce did everything they could to ensure we had a great time while we were there. They know the area well and were able to recommend activities for us to do. We invited them to hang out and talk with us, as we love getting to know people, and we were so happy to learn what good and fun-loving people they both are. Very humble, gracious people indeed. We have lifelong friends now, for sure! Also, we fell head over heels in love with their dog, Ollie! What a cutie! Annie and Bruce are so respectful – they’d love to get to know you, but will give you your space if you’re wanting some privacy. Do yourself a favor and book your stay...

Luxury, comfort, attention to detail and ongoing pampering is what you can expect to receive if you are lucky enough to reserve a stay at Bearly Heaven. Annie and Bruce are by far the greatest hosts and their ultimate priority is “You!” Bearly Heaven is nestled in a private and secured estate on the edge of the San Juan National Forest, a quick 30 minute drive from Durango or Pagosa Springs. My partner and I visited during the last weekend in July and the weather was absolutely incredible. Annie and Bruce’s home is well decorated with high-end rustic and chic furniture that is both inviting and comfortable. The decorative and well-appointed accent pieces are beautiful and complete the look and feel of being in an upscale cabin. It is a one bedroom retreat with an open concept living and dining area with plenty of space to relax; lots of natural light in the living area. You have access to a large well equipped kitchen and plenty of closet space throughout. The bedroom is beautifully decorated with a very comfortable queen size bed, luxury linens and choice of pillows. The bathroom is well decorated with plush towels, luxurious bath robes and high end toiletries. The water pressure is excellent and there is no shortage of hot water. There are two outdoor sitting areas where you can relax and enjoy your breakfast, lunch or dinner while enjoying the amazing weather, star-filled night sky or just relax with a glass of wine. Annie is a wonderful chef and you may convince her to prepare a scrumptious meal. There are plenty of activities to do in the area from hiking, rafting, horseback riding, taking a scenic drive to Silverton or Pagosa Springs, shopping and dining in downtown Durango, ride the historic Durango & Silverton train and lots more. You can also just spend a nice relaxing day at Bearly Heaven and enjoy the company of your loved one or visit with Annie and Bruce and their beloved Ollie, a small long-haired Chihuahua mix. Bearly Heaven is dog friendly and I recommend your pet is either crate trained and/or very well behaved as to not destroy any of well-appointed interior and exterior décor. Bearly Heaven is suitable for single travelers and couples. In my opinion, Bearly Heaven is a luxury retreat for those that want to get a way from their busy life. Bearly Heaven is not your typical Airbnb or local hotel - it’s a comfortable luxury retreat that feels like home. I highly recommend Bearly Heaven if you are looking for more than just a place to spend the night. Although you will enjoy the rest, the true gift of Bearly Heaven is the warm hospitality that you will receive from Annie and Bruce. Thanks Annie and Bruce for making the last leg of our 10-day road trip across the southwest one of the highlights of our trip. We are definitely looking forward to our next stay.

Very beautiful and peaceful place

Michelle's place was incredible. Definitely highly recommend staying here! She had a great way of making us feel cozy and at home, and she even had some fruit, muffins, and coffee for us in the morning! This place overlooks the golf course which was a perfect thing to wake up to in the morning. She gave great instructions for how to get there as well. We loved our stay there!

This place is phenomenal!! Gorgeous interior, beautiful scenery, and helpful host. Definitely recommend.

Michelle's basement guest room was wonderful! We stopped in for a night during a long drive, so a nice clean bedroom with a comfortable bed and coffee was just what we needed!

I was stunned at how nice this place was. It is an all new structure. Very roomy and private, and comfortable. 15 minute drive from Durango. I just loved it. One thing is, being that far out,... video didn't load fast on my computer. So, I just did without you-tube for a few days. It was worth it. Very comfortable and relaxing. Room for the kids to be if you have any. I also think it would be a GREAT place for a quiet romantic get away. Also a nice place to just renew yourself and renew creative juices. Everything was fresh. The outside entrance is on the ground floor and is very private with a secluded outdoor feeling,.... you see only the trees and county side. There was no stove, but a toaster and microwave. Small fridge. The host did a wonderful job. I would absolutely stay here again!!

The place is super clean and nice. Michelle does a great job checking us in and show around the house. She even prepared some breakfast for us:-) The place is quite and not far away from downtown Durango, quick 15mins drive. Just one note, the internet is not very fast, it's enough for emails. But there're cards and movies to kill time. Overall, definitely worth checking out. And you can't beat the price.

This is a very comfortable place within a 15 minute drive to Durango and a 5 minute drive to a great casino. New home nicely located in a quiet area on a golf course. Your host is very accommodating.

Michelle's apartment is lovely and modern, comfortable, and artistically decorated. Separate entry makes it private. Michelle went out of her way to be helpful to us. Kitchen facilities were minimal but adequate. While it is very near the airport, and not far (15 min) from Durango, being out in the country means you need a car. A lovely rural area The golf course is a plus for those that are interested. You have any other time or

This house is adorable on the inside, and has the capacity to hold a lot of people. It felt very homey and would be perfect for a family getaway in the woods of Pagosa Springs.

Great cabin in a very scenic area. It was a great place to get out, relax, and not be bugged by the outside world.

A beautiful, relaxing, and peaceful cabin. Absolutely loved our time hiking, fishing, and snowshoeing. We will return and recommend to our friends.

This is a really cute secluded cabin. There is no cell phone signal, which I actually loved. The family and I enjoyed quality time together without cell phones or Internet. You will receive cell phone signal about 10 minutes on your drive out to town. There is a stove top and a refrigerator. Bret offers cookware and silverware. There were 4 adults and one child. We fit great and still had an extra bed. Like I said earlier, the cabin is secluded, so the road to get there is a bit scary. I recommend a 4 wheel drive. We had a front wheel drive and drove about 20 MPH. Bret does have a landline phone there, but we were having trouble with it. We did inform him of this so I'm sure it'll be fixed. Also, Bret seems to be very laid back. We didn't meet him. He allowed us to make the cabin our home for a few days without any interruptions, which we appreciated. I texted him when we were in town and had signal- he called me almost immediately to answer my questions. Great host! This cabin is about 30-40 minutes from the city (or up town area...) where you can find fun things to do. It's about an hour from the Wolf Creek Ski Resort (which you should definitely check out if you're visiting during the winter). Btw- the people in Pagosa Springs are very friendly! Great stay for the price!

The cabin was lovely and it was just what my family and I needed. The cabin had many extra beds and had pretty much what we needed to have a great vacation! Loved it!

Loved the cabin. Eva was really easy to deal with and always responded quickly. Check in and check out were easy and cabin had all the amenities. Very happy with our experience.

This was an adorable little cabin close to town but out in the country with room for my kids to run and play in the snow. Very clean, comfy beds, good towels and linens. Loved the location. The only problem we had was with the Direct TV. It was not working the entire time we were there, we called Eva and she answered immediately and gave us a few tips to try and get it working. Never was able to get it working but this was definitely not a deal breaker. This adorable little cabin was perfect for our family of 4, made so many wonderful memories. Thank you Eva for sharing your cabin with us. Would love to stay there again some day.

Eva communicated very well. And we liked the house very much.

Eva made us feel very welcome, it was the cutest place ever! we had everything we needed to make us feel at home. Eva was very good about communicating where the directions were and and being there if we needed. The description of the cabin was exactly accurate but even better then we expected! We are coming back to this cabin every time we travel to pagosa. The neighborhood was cute, there were a lot of other cabins. And there was a very friendly dog that came to check on us! He was even waiting for us to arrive.

Very cosy cabin, great heating system , we enjoyed our stay Eva. My husband liked watching BBc news, overall very relaxing thanks again(URL HIDDEN) Cheers Deborah.

Very enjoyable visit, the cabin was as described. Plenty of firewood and drinking water. The cabin was very warm and comfortable. The drive to Pagosa was a short 10 minutes and only one hour from Durango airport. Eva was quick to respond to my questions, and I asked plenty!

The cabin was extremely clean well organized and had everything we needed very relaxing had a wonderful time

Comfortable cabin with everything I needed. Just as described. Would stay here again.
