Our extended family of 14 had an absolutely wonderful stay at Rancho Sendero. The historic home and cabin provided the perfect combination of charm, comfort, and space for everyone to enjoy time together while still allowing room for quiet moments when needed.One of our favorite features was the beautiful wraparound porch overlooking the gardens. It was the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, spot hummingbirds, cottontails and mule deer, and gather around the fire pit in the evenings. The property offered plenty of space for family game nights, preparing meals together, and grilling outdoors. The home had absolutely everything you could need.The location was ideal for exploring southwest Colorado. We enjoyed hiking at the ranch and day trips to Durango and Silverton to ride the train, went on an exciting Jeep tour, enjoyed horseback riding in Mancos, visited Mesa Verde National Park, and even made an afternoon trip to Four Corners.A special thank you to Michelle, the caretaker, who was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. She shared the fascinating history of the ranch and even showed us where to watch a family of beavers living on the property, which became a highlight of our stay! Rancho Sendero was everything we hoped for in an extended family getaway—beautiful scenery, comfortable accommodations, abundant wildlife, and easy access to unforgettable adventures. We made wonderful memories here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for place to stay.
