City of Durango Permit #08-060

Just a note on the current Covid 19 situation; We *Sanitize* our vacation rentals according to the CDC guidelines with safe practices like: Masks, Gloves, Bleach, washing on Hot, and a whole lot of obsessive cleaning! Our places are very safe to stay and enjoy without worry. Durango is currently partially open with masks required in all public spaces. Restaurants are open with social distancing in place.

Bucking Mule Guest House is a clean modern 500 sf. studio located in Durango Colorado. Only six blocks from Downtown Durango, and one block from the Horse Gulch trail system, our guesthouse is in the perfect location if you like to walk or bike around town. Our guesthouse has an 800 sf. private courtyard with patio furnishings, BBQ, and beautiful outdoor eating table. Securely fenced it is ideal for pets and children. Fully landscaped and very private. There is also a locked shed for bike storage available for your use.

The guest house has a Japanese soaking tub with custom spa 'bath room'; walk-in travertine shower. In the Japanese bath tradition, the toilet room is separate from the bath room. There are bath sheets and robes provided.

Stained concrete floors have in-floor heat for cozy winter comfort . Contemporary design with a western flair, we call our decorating style zen cowboy. There is a super comfortable Tempurpedic style bed complete with Ralph Lauren linens and a down comforter. Also, in the same room, is a very comfortable queen sized leather pull out couch.

Durango Natural Foods, our local natural foods store is just across the street. Walk to breakfast at College Drive Cafe (the best breakfast in town) or Durango Joes coffee house, both located within a block of our guest house. Home Slice Pizza, Raider Ridge Cafe, CJ's Diner and 8th Ave Tavern are all within a block or two.

This is a green built studio with a Solar electric power system. Feel good about staying here and reducing your carbon footprint while relaxing.

Flat screen TV with DVD and free WiFi making it ideal for business travelers. Pets and children are welcome.

The guest house is located next to the best trail system in Durango: Horse Gulch Trails. If you hike or bike you will be in Georgia O'Keefe heaven.

Please call me with any questions you may have about the houses or Durango and the surrounding area, or for last minute reservations!

All the best,

Short review
The studio was fine. My friend had the bed, I had the pull out couch. Super hard to get out but figured it out. Really needed freezer space which wasn't freezing. We had a question about the parking and the host never got back to me. The sink in the bathroom was very uncomfortable to use; too high

Perfect Place!
The Bucking Mule was perfect for our Durango getaway! It was the perfect size for 2 plus a dog. Private backyard, great tub and perfect location to downtown. We walked to downtown every night which was easy and enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

Adorable studio apartment
Love the decor. Small,but big enough for the two of us and our two dogs. Close to town. The only problem we had was arriving at dark it was hard to find. Would be nice to have a small sign or something at the end of the driveway.

Quiet, pleasant, relaxing
Brought our old lab with us. The back patio was perfect for us and her. Everything we needed was available. The soaker tub was not used. Bathrm sink & mirrow set up was not practical. To tall, too far away for shaving or makeup...would return thank you.neiucomfoetab

This was a great studio unit close to the centre of Durango with its own patio area for sitting out, and laundry facilities. We were able to charge our EV overnight thanks to the owner providing an extension cable.

Perfection!
First trip to Durango and first stay at the Bucking Mule. We loved the location (8 blocks from Main Street), and a hiking trail only a couple of blocks! We especially loved the outdoor patio which was where we enjoyed a light breakfast & coffee every morning! We went to 3 different hiking trails while there as well as really enjoyed the pubs downtown. We will be back for another week or maybe two weeks next time.

near perfect for us
We have stayed here before and the enclosed patio is great for our two corgis. The only complaint I have is the bathroom sink...which is fashionable but difficult to use and the faucet only has a dribble of water which is not hot at all.

Parking Free For All
We called the property management company because there were 2 full size trucks and a large trailer parked in the tiny parking area where we were supposed to have a designated spot. They said that the other group was allowed 1 spot and we were allowed 1 spot and they would straighten out the issue. They didn't do anything and we ended up working with the other group who refused to move either truck or trailer. It ended up being an inconvenience that made this unit not worth the price for us. We won't be back.

Great place close to everything
This was a great place for my wife and I to stay with our dog. Good location and close to everything we had planned while visiting Durango. Room in private courtyard for dog to run around and explore. Rain made it a little difficult as there was no grass in courtyard just stone and dirt.

Perfect getaway
We loved staying here - so cozy, beautifully decorated with every amenity one could dream of! The location is perfect - minutes from downtown in a beautiful neighborhood. The enclosed yard and lovely patio were perfect for our dog who was free to just explore. We will definitely recommend it and hope to return soon.

Cute cottage and yard for dog.
Our stay was rough the first night but pleasant the rest of the stay. The big hanging tea lights over the front porch were very bright and we couldn't find a switch to turn off. The second night we just unplugged them. The smoke detector in the laundry kept chirping so we took the battery out. Bed was comfy, kitchen was easy to cook in, and the yard was nice for our dog.

Lovely!
Such a lovely lil space! Had to drive around the block a few times just to make sure I was in the right spot but that may have just been me! Very clean! I took advantage of the bath, so cool! Owners were very responsive when I reached out! Super nice and welcoming! The patio area was nice too! If you’re in the area, check out Raider Ridge Cafe across the street, great food and the owner was awesome to talk to! I’ll for sure stay again when I’m in the area!
