About this property

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!

Perfect Retreat!
We loved our 3 day stay at Patti’s ranch. It was quiet, private, has lots of beautiful outdoor space, and it’s only 10 minutes outside of Durango - close enough to get there easily for dinner or supplies. It’s a great place for 2 people and we would definitely come back!

About the host

Hosted by Patti ZInk

Host profile image
I love sharing the beauty and the history of Waterfall Ranch which has been in the Zink family for over 100 years.
We are twenty minutes from the ski area. We have storage for your skis and gear.
Enjoy hiking in our private wetlands, sitting in the meditation garden, having a fun meal outside, or enjoying a fire.

Why they chose this property

We are in a beautiful location surrounded by mountains. An entrance way to store skis, bikes, coolers all the extra you need but don't want in the way. You can enjoy grilling, enjoy dinner under an umbrella on the patio, relax in the gazebo, or enjoy a lazy afternoon on the hammock. You can read a book under the maple tree or sit in our meditation garden.

What makes this property unique

You can enjoy walking our private wetlands every day of the year and enjoy water sports on our private dock during warm weather. We are a 20-minute walk to the top of the waterfall and have a small meditation garden steps from your accommodations.
