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.

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!

Great option for staying in Durango
The basement apartment is about ten minutes north of Durango below the ranch house, 45 minutes south of Silverton. Out the front door is a beautiful view of the mountains across the valley. Parking is in front of the unit. The bedroom has a very comfy bed and bedding. There is a trundle bed (twin) in the sitting room. The kitchen is small and intended for simple meals. Lovely tableware! The bathroom is large and includes liquid soap/shampoo/conditioner in the shower. Small basement windows provided for some ventilation. Any cooking odors were hard to dispel. Location is great. Not too close to town and closer to a lot of the mountain destinations we went to. Arrival was super easy—we walked in the door and keys to the locked unit were laid out for us. Departure was just as easy. We stripped the beds but didn’t have to. The unit was very clean. Patti, the owner, was nearly invisible but was responsive when we needed her for anything.

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!

All who saw where I stayed were envious. Several of us stayed at different locations nearby. Everything was very clean, quiet with a comfortable bed which was important to someone with back problems. The outside areas were beautiful. The inside was unique with many amenities and felt like home. The location was perfect. It surpassed my expectations.

Durango Waterfall Ranch
We really enjoyed the Waterfall Ranch. Patti Zink, the owner, was very helpful. We took the train to Silverton. The suite was clean, we did have to kill 3-5 bugs. Patti gave us a lot of great ideas of what to do in Durango and the surrounding area. The property around Waterfall Ranch is so relaxing. They even talk about Waterfall Ranch on the narrow gague railroad. Maybe better signage or markings to show where to turn into the ranch. We missed the turn-in almost every time.

Perfect place for a getaway
We stayed at Waterfall Ranch for a wedding at River Bend. The location was perfect for us and it was also a short drive into town. We did not have the opportunity to meet Patti, but Margie took great care of us. The interior space looks even lovelier in person and the property is beautiful, from the horses to the dock to the waterfall. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

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!

Waterfall Ranch - July 2023
The ranch grounds are pretty as a picture! Loads of beautiful flowers all around the property. We were lucky with our timing as there were two 6/7 wk old foals. The kitchen is very well appointed (although we didn’t do any cooking). Nice big full bathroom. There is also another ‘bathroom’ with just a sink that came in handy. Beds were comfy. Lots of books to leaf through. We really enjoyed our stay!
