Located along the beautiful Animas River, just minutes from Durango, Colorado, you will find River Rim Lavender Farm. Glamping in an Airstream in the lavender field, along with optional farm experiences, is available. Enjoy spending time with the farm animals, lavender and herbs, or relaxing by the river during your stay. It’s a short but beautiful drive to town. Find peace in the countryside, just 15 minutes from the edge of town and 30 minutes from downtown. Your glamping stay is in a 2003 Airstream Safari with solar power, deluxe bedding, a full kitchen (oven/microwave and refrigerator/freezer), a sound system, heat, and A/C. The bathroom is not hooked up, but a Bob’s Johns portable toilet and heated outdoor shower are nearby. In front of your entrance are chairs and a fire table, perfect for relaxing in the evening. This lavender farm is a working farm. Farmstay experiences are available and can be tailored to you. There may be volunteers pulling weeds, putting up fencing, planting, and doing other farm work during your stay, but rest assured that they will not disturb you or make loud noises during quiet times. The goats will likely make more noise than anything else. Izzy will be the loudest. She’s a young Nigerian Dwarf goat. When I brought her home at two weeks old, she went to work with me, and I carried her in a baby sling. I didn’t spoil her at all! While hiking down the trail to the river, it’s easy to get distracted by the beauty. It feels like another world. I like to watch the hillside change as we make our way up and down the trail. At the bottom of the trail, we have a 150+ year-old apple tree. Looking across the valley, you can also see where the train used to run. Ask Melissa to tell you about the history of apples in this region. At certain times of the year, you can pick lavender, cook or make crafts with it, learn about milking goats and making cheese, create salves or lip balm, enjoy other crafts, and more. We love the bees! We do not use chemicals in the field, and we don’t have a store on-site, so you should bring sunscreen, bug repellent, and anything else you might need. Of course, if a need arises that we can help with, we are more than happy to do so. It is common to see wildlife, especially near the river. Please remember to watch for wildlife and share the land. We have deer, wild turkeys, mountain lions, bobcats, bears, elk, and many, many birds. Blue herons nest in the trees in the bosque. If you enjoy the night sky, you’ll love the views on a clear night. They can be nothing short of spectacular!A comfortable Airstream in a lavender field with partial view of the mountains and short walk down to the river.
