Do you love staying in places with access to the outdoors? A cottage out in Colorado is beautiful to start with, but add on private wetlands and a hike to a waterfall, and there’s nothing better. Bookmark this beautiful stay for a hiking opportunity and a historic Airbnb.
Welcome to today's adventure, a Colorado ranch with a private hike right to a waterfall. This home is over 100 years old and counting, with plenty of charm for all sorts of visitors.
The ranch sits on the Animas Valley and includes 75 acres of wetland on the over 100-acre property. These beautiful wetlands come with plenty of places to explore, including the 20-minute hike to the waterfall.
This waterfall is so beautiful, the whole ranch was named after it. Once you see it for yourself, you'll understand why anyone would fall in love with it.
Relaxing by the water or using the paddle boats and kayak to make full use of it are great ways to pass the time when you aren't hiking. Amenities include a kitchenette, the space to sleep 3 guests, free wifi, and a great little meditation garden.
Whether you prefer the wall of hats or the cow print, there's plenty of it. Indoors and outdoors both have the same treatment of comfort and respect for the outdoors.
This is a working ranch, so don't be a stranger if you happen to see someone on the property. 100 acres is a lot to enjoy, so take your time and take it all in.
