We stayed at the Lightner Creek Inn 4 nights and really enjoyed it. It was a good "home base" for us to travel around Durango (Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings, Silverton, etc.), and we even had time to just kick back and enjoy the beautiful on site scenery, relax with a cup of tea and read. The owners are very accomodating... More

We stayed at the Inn for the weekend of our son's graduation from Ft. Lewis College. The room was very nice and the hosts could not have been more pleasant. We loved the creekside location and the beautiful magpies that are nesting in the tree next to the Inn. We highly recommend this as the place to stay when visiting... More

Lovely rooms, beautiful scenery, awesome friendly staff! Loved this place and will def come back! Just a quick drive from downtown Durango for lots of restaurant choices. Beautiful and quiet with a pretty gazebo and stream down below.

We discovered Lightner Creek Inn from Groupon. We found the place to be delightful, nestled along a country road not far from the highway and only a few miles from downtown Durango. The king size bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom had exceptional storage and a nice big tub. The hosts, Marvin and Patra, are very friendly and easy... More

My husband and I went to Lightner Creek Inn to celebrate our anniversary. It was lovely. The room was very nice and Marvin and Patra were great hosts. Breakfast was very good both mornings, Marvin is a great cook. They were very helpful with restaurant recommendations and took time to share stories etc. Good location, close to town, but not...

We went on a Mon-Weds, which is a little odd since we were the only guests, but it enhanced the experience for us. We stayed in the room called "blue... More

I chose Lightner Creek for my most recent women's retreat. Marvin and Patra were wonderful hosts, making my clients comfortable and sharing great cooking and hospitality with everyone. For a small group retreat, this inn is perfect - close to town for accessing the 'city stuff' but equally wonderful and quiet for doing inner work. Thanks so much! Victoria FittsMilgrim,... More

Classy, clean and cozy home away from home. Marvin and Patra and the perfect hosts who will begin and end your day with smiles, stories and genuine hospitality. The Inn is the perfect distance from town that puts you in the middle of the countryside mountains but still close enough to commute to downtown. I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

really enjoyed our stay. Make sure you check out the wonderful hike down the road. Close to Durango but not too close. The food was wonderful, and the host went above and beyond. Felt like a home away from home.
