In the Southwest corner of Colorado you will find the wild and rugged landscape of Durango. Just a short drive outside the historic town is Blue Lake Ranch featuring a collection of rooms, suites, casitas, and cottages that overlook the La Plata Mountains.
The property has extensive walking trails as well as its own private lake and dock.
Each day I woke with a direct view of the mountains. I was particularly struck by the shades of purple that the peaks reflected at sunrise and sunset.
Our suite with mountain views featured design cues from the American Southwest.
With a fully-equipped kitchen, it was nice being able to cook each night. In addition, there’s a classic oil drum barbecue outside for guest’s use.
Each morning, breakfast is served in the main house, where you and the rest of the guests can enjoy a variety of plates such as tamale casserole, cornbread pancakes and a delicious parfait!
As the air begins to chill in the evening, unwind and relax in front of the fireplace with some wine and cheese.
With such a peaceful setting, tasteful accommodations and an incredible breakfast each morning, I’ll be sure to steer my way towards Blue Lake Ranch next time I’m in Southern Colorado!
Everything looks perfect!
