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.

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!

Nice, quiet country setting close to town complete with manicured yard and horse watching. Owner even came and put some hay out to get the horses and their foals to come closer! Everything made us feel so welcome. Pretty outdoor seating available.

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!

Amazing experience!
Everything was amazing! The inside has everything you need and wonderfully decorated. Two bedrooms plus a trundle-style bed in the living room. The outside is really beautiful and peaceful. If you're going to stay in Durango and want to enjoy the scenery, this is the place. Plus Patti is so sweet and helpful. When my 78yo father mentioned that we were looking for something to do, she suggested her property across the street where there is a beautifully secluded oxbow pond with a canoe and pedal boat with a dock, hammock, a couple chairs and an umbrella to sit an enjoy it all. My sister and I even paddled around a swam for a bit. We saw plenty of birds and even an otter. Great stay!

Unbelievable Property, Gracious Host!
Beautiful grounds, lovely sitting areas, great accommodations! My wife and 8 year old enjoyed every bit of being on the ranch. Feeding the horses, playing with the the dog and catching grasshoppers. Patti is so wonderful and extremely accommodating. We had plenty of privacy, but also felt like part of the ranch. We will definitely be back!

Great Location And Even Better Hospitality
This property is so beautiful and a perfect location! Patti is an amazing host. She goes far and above to make sure your visit is perfect. She does not intrude into your vacation but is just a phone call away for whatever you need and is there quickly. The check-in was painless and the check-out the same. The waterfall on the property is beautiful. The wetlands across the street was so relaxing. We enjoyed time on the paddle boat and relaxing in hammocks. The house has everything you need, even items you may have forgotten, may be there. Patti seems to have thought of everything to make your visit wonderful. I highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway. I couldnt have asked for more!

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.
