I had a nice, yet short time in Durango. The grounds were lovely however, I suspect they are spectacular in the warmer months. My husband and I stayed in the Fireside cottage. I adore traveling. I love B & B's as they offer a more personal touch and good value to the traveler. It's the attention to little things that... More

We stayed for 3 nights in a different room each night because we booked last minute. We liked the cottages best for privacy. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Kathi. She was very friendly and showed us our first room, the Liberty cottage. It has a gas fireplace, radiant floor heating, tv, mini-fridge, coffee maker, 2 robes, 2 sinks (1... More

We stayed for 2 days over Christmas. The place was beautiful and a nice quite location. The room was cozy, we stayed in the Fireside cottage. The heat was slow and doesn't really heat the main room as well as I expected, but the bathroom was very warm. The Innkeeper, Kathi, wasn't the best we've ever experienced. A bit bossy... More

We spent 3 nights in one of the cottages. We found things in good order, clean and comfortable. The bed and linens were nice, and nice touches like makeup remover cloth, shampoo, etc. were provided. No notice of barking dogs during the night or early morning, although we could definitely hear the neighborhood black bears going about their business. The... More

Kathi seems well-intentioned enough but has not really stepped up to be a good inn-keeper. First off, there was a dog gate at the bottom of the stairs and we were told her dogs will jump on all the furniture and beds when given the opportunity. Not a good start when my boyfriend has pet allergies. Second, when showing us... More

The Apple Orchard Inn was a great spot years ago. It sold 4 years ago. We stayed there last month and were disappointed. The grounds are still charming but are in need of some tender loving care and elbow grease. The one room cabin was in serious need of refurbishment. The 13" 15 year old TV did not work properly;...

We have stayed here 4 times and it continues to be a lovely place to stay. The grounds are a selling point. The accommodations include individual cottages or generously sized rooms in the main house. Wine is served in the afternoon. Breakfast is quite good. It is a relaxing, peaceful place to stay.

Kathi was a wonderful hostess, providing helpful sightseeing advice and securing dinner reservations. Delicious homecooked breakfasts, and there were apricots, cherries, and plums to snack on right off the trees. Great beer and snacks at happy hour, too! The property is gorgeous; the sounds of trickling water and the breeze through the leaves of the aspen trees are quite relaxing.... More

We just returned from a two-night stay at the Apple Orchard Inn in July 2012. The property is located ~10 miles north of Durango. The property is spread out, with a main house and a few cabins scattered around a pond and small irrigation streams that flow throughout. Without doubt, the strength of this B&B is its grounds. The water... More

We stayed for 2 nights at the Apple Orchard Inn. It is in a beautiful setting and the room was great! Kathi does a wonderful job of making you feel welcome and her breakfasts are delicious. We were disappointed there were no homemade cookies as advertised in the brochure and the book in the room.
