We truly love supporting and featuring our local businesses! Our July business of the month is Antler on the Creek Bed & Breakfast!

Originally built in the early 1900’s, our Bed & Breakfast has withstood the test of time and still has so much to offer to its guests. We invite you to come experience our unique property with five guest suites, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Durango, in a small canyon, with backyard access to Lightner Creek. Come enjoy a soak in the hot tub while watching the sun set behind the beautiful mountains that surround the property.

Originally, this property was the homestead for the entire Lightner Creek Canyon. Now, the parcel is approximately 4.5 acres, but at the turn of the century, it encompassed thousands of acres which now belong to the Department of Wildlife & Forest Service.

The property first became a Bed & Breakfast in 1993 as Lightner Creek Bed & Breakfast with two guest rooms. Over the years, love was poured into the property with the addition of rooms, and in 2013, after a major remodel, the name was changed to Antlers on the Creek Bed & Breakfast.

In May of 2023, Karen Weidner purchased the property and reopened Antlers on the Creek in March of 2024 after the previous proprietor reluctantly permanently closed due to covid and health issues in early 2021. Karen looks forward to carrying on the tradition of giving guests the experience of a lifetime with a focus on adventure and health and wellbeing.

Our May Business of the Month is Fireweed in beautiful Rico, CO!!

Founders Chelsey Rajavuori and Matt Guertin have been dreaming about creating a space for community gathering since 2015. Their mission has been to be sustainable and intentional throughout the entire process. They gathered used appliances, reclaimed wood from an old mountain miner’s cabin, loved furniture, help from friends, and advice from other local business owners. They contacted local artists, farmers, and ranchers in order to support the local economy as best they could. Fireweed is a place for good quality, organic, local, and sustainable food, for real people to come together or find a cozy quiet place to work, and for facilitating education about how to live in deeper communion with the beautiful land we call home.

It's Wildfire Awareness day and I am in Forest Lakes. They have put on an awesome event! Smokey the Bear is here, there's fire trucks and al sorts of things about wildfire preparedness and mitigation. If you're in the area come out to see us :)
