Delightful
Linda is a fabulous host. She greeted us with tons of information and recommendations for Durango and was just a delight to talk to. Beautiful property with great views of the beautiful fall foliage.

Linda’s place is a 20 minute easy drive from Durango and a nice quiet place to stay for the night.

Quiet, Sunny Spot
I overall had a lovely time. The host Linda is just the sweetest. She provided a welcome packet with things to do around Durango and walked me to the different spots I could camp. I'm working from the road and had excellent signal for my phone and hotspot and had no issues with my connection. The one important thing to consider is that she does have horses and donkeys that are free roaming on the property, so it's important that you're comfortable with that.

Really enjoyed camping in our van at Linda’s place. We got a chance to hang out with and pet the horses and donkeys, as well as play with her very friendly dog. We enjoyed the elk bulls making there distinctive sound at night and the many birds singing in the morning.

Linda was a kind and helpful host! There was plenty of space to set up camp on the ranch and it was an easy drive from Durango. Our favorite part was getting to pet and feed the donkeys and horses. We enjoyed our conversation with Linda where we learned a lot about them too. We wish we could’ve stayed longer!
