About this property

Large Ranch 20 minutes from downtown Durango! Sleeps up to 70!

Whether you need a fun place to take your youth group or a relaxing place to get away with your extended family, Cross Bar X is the place for you. Offering an affordable experience at a high-quality facility, Cross Bar X Provides everything you need to make your next group getaway a huge success!

Our beautiful log buildings and cabins provide comfortable lodging for up to 70 people in both private bedrooms and group quarters. Our facility consists of bunk beds, single private rooms with queen beds and shared baths, and small family rooms with queen beds and a few sets of bunk beds. There are a total of 2 queen bed private rooms, 2 large family suites (2 queens with bunk beds and private bathrooms) and 6 additional private rooms with queens, single beds and lofts. we also have a large bunk room that can sleep up to 16.

When you rent Cross Bar X for your group, you reserve the entire facility. Other than our on-site caretakers, you are the only guests here.

As we are a large highly customizable facility, we have a sliding fee scale based on your group size. This allows a smaller group to rent just one of the buildings, but also for a large group to rent more spaces. Our base rate includes up to 15 guests and one lodge. Each additional guest over 15 is $15 per person, per night. Once your group exceeds 25, you will have access to other on-site lodges and our large commercial dining space and kitchen. If you are curious about what your total cost will be, VRBO calculates the total cost if you put in the total number of attendees.

Conveniently located 45 minutes from skiing and snowboarding at Durango Mountain Resort and 20 minutes southeast of Historic Downtown Durango, the whole of the Four Corners is at your fingertips to guarantee your group has a wonderful time in beautiful Southwestern Colorado!

Your group will have access to 130 scenic acres, hiking trails, our private lake, and more to escape from the noise, hustle, and bustle of everyday life.

For groups that exceed 25, you can also utilize our fully furnished commercial kitchen and dining facilities to prepare meals as affordably or extravagantly as you choose. This allows your group to operate on your own schedule in a relaxed atmosphere.

There is a TV and wifi available in our two main lodges and around various parts of the property. Linens and bedding are not provided for the single bunk beds. We do provide linens and pillows for the queen beds. You will need to provide your own bath towels.

Please note, our facility is a drug, smoking, and marijuana-free facility. There are also no pets allowed (service animals are allowed).

Here is a breakdown of each of our lodges:

Each of the main floor rooms is connected to its own bathroom with 3 sinks, 3 toilets, and 2 shower stalls. The upper floor has 10, two-person bunks and share the downstairs bathrooms. This building is equipped with in-floor heating for the winter.

PLEASE NOTE

- As we rent our entire facility to one large group at a time, we do not offer any refunds once the facility is booked. We do recommend a third party insurance policy like AAA, Allianz Global, etc... We find these are affordable and will cover your expenses in the event of unforeseen cancelation.

- We do not allow weddings hosted at the ranch and we also do not rent the facility from mid-May to Mid July.

- We do not allow group gatherings that are open to non-overnight guests.

- The ropes course and zip line are an additional cost of $10 per person, per hour and must be reserved two weeks in advance of your stay. The Giant Swing requires a group of at least 15 healthy participants to be a pull team. We will be unable to facilitate the Giant Swing with a group smaller than this. The ropes course and Giant Swing are only available from April 1st to Oct 1st.

- The property does not allow outdoor fires.

Family Reunion
We had 3 generations of family spend Thanksgiving together at your property. The bunkhouse & Alpine Lodge were great for our family. The Eagle Lodge had great space & cooking equipment, however, an abundance of flying gnats and more than a few mice droppings and mice getting into food caused the rating of 3. We love the facility and with some minor corrections we would recommend this property highly.
