Blue Lake Ranch

Durango, Colorado.

Southwest Colorado's award winning country inn, just minutes from Durango, Colorado and Mesa Verde National Park. Recently featured in Travel and Leisure's "30 Great Inns."

Bed and Breakfast Description

Built in 1910 by Swedish immigrants, this beautiful Victorian farmhouse has become a luxurious country inn and estate, on 200 acres that include spectacular flower gardens, wildlife, and splendid views.

The inn is filled with comforts such as down quilts, vases of fresh flowers and family antiques. The property is designated as a wildlife refuge, and there is a cabin overlooking trout-filled Blue Lake.

Newer accommodations include The Spring House, The Casa del Sol and Casa del Sombre casitas, and the Cottage in the Woods. Uninterrupted mountain views add to the appeal.

A gourmet European/Southwest buffet breakfast is served every morning in The Ranch House.

For years, Blue Lake Ranch has been considered one of the finest settings for Durango weddings and other special events. Our spectacular and secluded 200 acre property offers glorious views of the mountains, gardens, and private lake.

With the completion of the Ridgewood Event Center, located one mile south of Blue Lake Ranch, we can accommodate up to 150 event participants from April to November.
