Located 4 miles from Durango Mountain Resort, the Irma J Ranch is located at 8,700' elevation on 14 acres of aspen/spruce forested land. The large acreage affords lots of room to stroll through alpine forest and take in stunning views of the Hermosa Cliffs, which loom west of the Ranch. The 5 BR, 4 bathroom luxury ranch house was finished July 2014 and has a deluxe kitchen, three fireplaces (one outdoor), expansive deck, and sophisticated flat-screen/stereo systems. The house sleeps 12 in5 queen size and 2 twin beds. The ranch also has a late 1800s-era cabin that has been completely restored, and has a murphy bed, wood-burning insert in the fireplace, kitchenette with sink, and large flat-screen television with stereo system. Sadly, we no longer offer the cabin as a rental option. Although the cabin does not have a toilet, guests can use the adjacent open-air shower house that is equipped with a flushing toilet and sink.

The Irma J Ranch is a unique blend of modern luxury in the 3,800 square foot ranch-style home, and historic beauty in the turn-of-the-century barn, cabin and other buildings. The IrmaJ Ranch is located one mile from the Needles country store and the Old Schoolhouse Restaurant. It is located only six miles from the Rockwood train station (Durango-Silverton train). The barn has been converted to a saloon for entertaining guests during the summer season. It has seasonal hot and cold running water, a 16' bar, shuffleboard table, foosball table and tons of charm. A new ping-pong table occupies one bay of the garage. The cabin is quaint, with high quality finishing touches. A sauna house and seasonal shower house were built in 2014. A new hot tub was added June 2015. An outdoor movie theatre, projecting to a 10' wide screen on the outside barn wall, provides a novel form of entertainment in the summer/fall evening. The 32'x72' pavilion building (for receptions, pickleball and other larger gatherings) also has a HD projector, screen and state-of-the-art stereo/PA system. During the summer, on-site activities include horse shoes, corn hole (2sets), kick-ball area and fire pit area. Off-site activities include road biking, mountain biking, hiking, four-wheeling, mountain climbing, train rides, golfing, and visits to area attractions like Silverton (26 miles), Durango (24 miles), and Mesa Verde (42 miles).
Please note that event pricing (more than home capacity) is slightly different and will adjusted as appropriate. Any event must be smaller than 50 people and less than 25 vehicles.

    We stayed for our son’s wedding. Beautiful house and comfortable for our group of 12. The pavilion and barn were ideal for the events associated with a small wedding. Great communication from the host. Beautiful setting. Thanks!

    I can’t say enough good things about Irma J! First off Erin and Brad are amazing and so helpful. They were so awesome and helpful with any questions we had. We got married at the ranch and Erin assisted me with anything she could as we were out of town so the recommendations and accommodations provided were so helpful. The house and property are even better than the pictures. Anything you may need, they have it for you. The house was so comfortable, beautiful and clean! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you for making our big day so special!!!!

    We were very pleased with how this property exceeded our expectations for both just the house to stay in and the wedding venue facilities!! They have provided more than we could imagine! The property was better in person than in the pictures! Wonderful house and layout for several families to stay and enjoy our time. Once we had our groceries, we had no need or desire to leave the property, it was great to just stay and enjoy everything! I highly recommend and will book the property again if we go back to Durango!

    We had our wedding at Irma J Ranch and it was perfect! Brad and Erin were SO wonderful and easy to communicate with. The pavilion was the perfect place to host our wedding dinner and it was so cool having the saloon for our cocktail hour. We would recommend highly recommend Irma J Ranch.

    We had a delightful time at the Irma J Ranch! Our adult children, their spouses, and 2 infant grandchildren enjoyed every minute, and are already talking about going back. We have stayed at several vacation homes in Colorado, plus Idaho, Arizona, and California, and the Irma J is our family’s favorite! Wonderful home. Well constructed home with beautiful and functional finishes. Beautiful windows to look out to beautiful country, well-furnished, window coverings where needed for privacy, GOOD QUALITY BEDS, lovely and functional bathrooms, spacious and lovely front deck. Well-stocked kitchen with great appliances. We enjoyed cooking almost all our meals at home. The Bar. We enjoyed playing shuffleboard and foosball at different times of the day or late at night. The Pavillion. Our favorite part of the property was probably the Pavillion. What a great set-up for pickleball, which our young adult children played every day, even on warm July afternoons. It was especially fun at night It’s completely open on one side so you can enjoy a breeze, and just enjoy the beautiful view of trees while playing or just spectating. Great location. We took an outing every day either to Durango, Silverton, Purgatory, the many roads behind Purgatory, the Nugget Bar/Backwoods Gourmet, fishing at lakes to the north. The Irma J is a great point to take off from. Brad and Erin are fantastic hosts and easy to access. They love the property and it shows. We'll be back!

    Three families stayed here and skied Purgatory. All of us were comfortable and the owner was in constant communication to help with any questions/needs. Would highly recommend!

    This is a well cared for home and ranch. I can't think of one thing we needed, that wasn't there. It's incredibly comfortable, roomy and has a fabulous kitchen. There is room to spread out & no need for fancy clothes! There is a special blessing on this property. I don't know if it's because of the family who owns it, or because of the celebrations that are held there, but it's a wonderful place.

    We really enjoyed our stay here and the set up was perfect for my daughters wedding. Everyone was extremely happy. The layout of the buildings and the mountain setting was absolutely stunning. I would recommend anyone stay at Irma J Ranch. Brad and Erin very easy to communicate with. We had everything we needed for an extra special day

    The house/property its amazing! The covered pavilion was a great spot to play with the kids during afternoon rains and tons of wildlife roamed through the property in the evenings. The owners provided excellent communication and were gracious hosts. This is a family home, not just a rental property, and it shows in every aspect. High end finishes and amenities are found in every room. We hope to come back soon.
