About Baker's River Ranch
Baker's River Ranch LLC is a small, working ranch property located at 798 County Road 217, Durango, CO 81303, United States. The ranch combines open pasture, riverside access, and simple, functional ranch facilities.
While primarily used as a private ranch, portions of the property can be made available for select small-scale stays, retreats, and gatherings by prior arrangement. The focus is on quiet, respectful use of the land and maintaining the natural character of the river corridor.
Guests and visitors experience a laid-back, unpolished atmosphere — closer to real ranch life than a resort. Simple comforts, open space, and the sound of water moving past the property do most of the work.
Life on the ranch
A day at Baker's River Ranch usually starts with quiet light over the water and ends with long views across the valley. Everything in between is up to you.
Pastures & open sky
Open fields and big skies make the property ideal for sunrise coffee, sunset walks, and stargazing when the weather cooperates.
Simple gatherings
With prior approval, the ranch can host small gatherings, family weekends, or low-key retreats focused on connection rather than production.
Stays & small events
Baker's River Ranch is intentionally kept small and straightforward. Availability is limited and evaluated on a case-by-case basis, with priority given to groups that respect the land, the neighbors, and the quiet character of the area.
- Small family and friend gatherings
