He kindly bundled us up in layers of blankets, offered to take pictures on number of occasions both off and in the horses, took us around on the sleigh with a pleasant & informative conversations throughout. It was snowing and with a three year old who wasn't a very happy camper so I was sure how this will go but in a magical moment the leader foggier excitedly took off and her "kisses" started the horses, alas! She was a completely excited and extremely happy camper! My hubby and the munchkin got to ride in the front with the guide and "drive" too! I wish the tour was longer! I never wanted it to end! So magical and amazing experience AND it wasn't very expensive. $45 per adult and $35 per child was nothing for this unforgettable experience!!! He said they have a pony/goat/donkey... I don't rem what he said but some other ride my munchkin would be able to do in the spring/summer. I can't wa to go back to Durango for another magical vacation!! And to think I only stumbled upon this when I wa frantically trying to find a fun activity to replace the original plan of going tubing (found out it wasn't open on weekdays)... What a blessing in disguise!! Thank you!! We WILL be back!

They treat their horses VERY well and this should be very important to you, as a rider and a decent human being. These horses are loved and very well cared for. Each trail leader we've had has commented on the high level of care that Ann gives these horses and it shows. Every horse we've ridden has been a great, happy horse. 2. Ann empowers women and girls. The majority of employees at Rapp are women and that's not an accident. Ann also has younger girls come volunteer their time to learn how to work the corral and take care of the horses. Very cool. 3. Their location- right by Haviland Lake and across from the gorgeous red cliffs. Yes, they just burned this summer, but there is still plenty of beauty to behold in that area. Do yourself and your family a favor and ride at Rapp. It is quality fun all the way around.

Upon arrival, the young lady checked their booking schedule and let us know that they had a cancellation earlier that day and a cabin on the river was available. She said she wanted to do one last walk through to ensure it was cleaned and ready before we checked in. Thank goodness it was good to go. It was super cute, incredibly clean, and surprising spacious... even if it was just my husband and I. We got the deluxe cabin, so it had a queen-sized bed on the first floor and another bed in the loft area. This would have been even more perfect for a family with kiddos. Either way, sitting on the back porch listening to the river and the birds chirping was pretty darn relaxing. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom and shower were a good size. All in all, great place to stay! Their location falls right between Telluride and Dolores, Co. We would definitely stay here again.
