Very cute B&B about 5 minutes away from downtown Durango. Needs a little updating, but it was well kept, clean and cozy. Breakfast was great. Tea, coffee and delicious homemade snacks are available in the afternoon. The innkeepers were very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again. Great price for the proximity to town.

We stayed at Lightnercreekinn for 5 nights in the Creekside room. Very nice with our own private entrance. Marvin and Patra were very welcoming, friendly and helpful! Every breakfast was great! And we always looked forward to what special treat Patra made each day. Truly the best B&B!

This is a very nice B&B. The new owners are very friendly... but suggest that they start repairing a few things. Outdoors: The hot tub was out of order, The deck surrounding the hot tub needed work, Some of the wood needed painting, There were weeds everywhere. Indoors: The room we stayed in was very nice as it should be... More

A perfect stopping point for a whirlwind road trip around Colorado, the Lightner is a tranquil spot amidst the beauty of Southern Colorado. Traveling with extended family (a toddler, a teenager & three adults) we stayed in the Alpine Hideaway comfortably. It was clean, well-appointed and cozy. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom a little small but sufficient. The grounds... More

We were looking for a reasonably priced B&B near Durango and an easy drive to Mesa Verde National Park. This inn filled the bill. It was a few minutes west of Durango on a very nice property and about 30 minutes drive to the park. We were in the Tuscan room which was one of the least expensive rooms but... More

This inn is in a lovely valley setting next to the creek and also borders beautiful wildlife lands that are accessible to walkers and birders. We had a small room (English Terrace, the least expensive), which was charming, quiet and comfortable...perfectly adequate for our one night visit.The only issue I had was that the reading light next to the bed...

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
