Cabin on Private Ranch on the Animas River - Stocked Pond

River Bend Ranch is a private ranch in Durango, Colorado located just five miles (10 minutes) from historic downtown Durango. Our three bedroom, two bath single level cabin is set among the willows and pines on our private trout pond and also features a covered deck with a wood stove.

We are located on the Million Dollar Highway in the Animas Valley on the way to Purgatory Ski Area (20 minutes) and Silverton (50 minutes). Come to River Bend Ranch and enjoy the beauty of the Animas Valley and one of the most unique properties in Durango. The cabin is equipped with Roku TV and and reasonably fast WIFI.

Bed Configuration (Single level home so all bedrooms are on the same floor):

Master - King Bed
2nd Bedroom - Queen
3rd Bedroom - Bunk Beds (single over single)
Queen sleeper sofa in main living space

Things to know about your stay.

We are a working horse and cattle ranch, but our operations will not interfere with your stay. We also have a world class wedding and event venue on a five-acre lake close to the cabin. You have access to the outdoor areas on the property except when an event is in progress, which of course will not interfere with your use of the cabin, covered deck, and fenced yard. And, you'll always have access to the Animas River.

Our private trout pond is about 20 yards from your back deck. It is not fenced and you must keep close watch on children or those that cannot swim. Please do not reserve the property if you have safety concerns as it relates to the the access to the pond or the Animas River. The pond is filled by irrigation, which is shut off before Thanksgiving every year. This drains the pond through the winter months. The irrigation is turned back on in late April and takes a couple of days to refill. After it is refilled, it is restocked with fish.

The Durango- Silverton Train goes by the property daily (mid-morning, mid-afternoon and early evening).

This home is pet friendly! We allow a maximum of 2 dogs max and the pet fee is $40/day (for a max $250 per stay).

Book at least a week and a 10% discount is automatically applied (Excludes Christmas/New Years).

Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.
