About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfall Ranch home

Enjoy a lower-level studio apartment at a centennial ranch in the Animas Valley just 5 miles north of Durango. Just bring your toothbrush and clothing; the rest is ready for you.
10 minutes from downtown Durango and 20 minutes to Purgatory Ski Resort.
Beautiful views of the mountains.
Comfortable new queen-size mattress in the master bedroom, kitchen, and family room with a trundle bed that makes 2 twin beds for extra sleeping accommodations and a private bathroom.
There is a couch, a loveseat, and a trundle bed for your relaxation. There are 4 separate seating areas outside during the spring, summer, and fall. Your comfort is my top priority.
TV has a fire stick and VCR with a selection of movies. Enjoy games, work on a puzzle, or relax in the hammock or on the loveseat with a book from our library.
In the spring, summer and fall you will enjoy outdoor living with outdoor dining on the patio, enjoy the gazebo with a fireplace and a beautiful flower garden, and a meditation garden.
Hike above the property to our waterfall or enjoy the quiet of Animas River Wetlands where you see birds, deer, and maybe a red-tail fox.

Beautiful and welcoming spot

Really a lovely, comfortable and historic property in a gorgeous setting convenient to Durango and the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado. The owners are a long established local family, and this is a true ranch house including lovely gardens--and a couple of beautiful horses. Greatly enjoyed our stay!

Dream getaway for outdoor enthusiasts

Welcoming host and easy check in made it very easy to start relaxing. The bonus was the amazing history of the ranch and the Zink family. We were there to mountain bike and hang out, which we enjoyed immensely. The location is amazing - Durango Hot Springs is just down the road.

Relaxing Stay

What a great place to stay while in Durango- just outside of town on a centennial ranch. Plenty of space to relax, hike right out the back door, and admire the views. Patti is a gracious host and it was really interesting to read the history of the ranch. If you want to be close to Durango but get away from the crowd, this is a great place to stay!

Great stay

Waterfall Ranch would be on most people’s shortlists of the nicest property in Durango. As a guest here you get to bask in the beauty of the ranch, and the hospitality of the Zink family is second to none. We were very comfortable in the spacious apartment and found it a perfect place to relax after a day outdoors. We also appreciated the wealth of history represented in and around the property. Great stay.
