| Blue Lake Ranch Bed and Breakfast |
Blue Lake Ranch Bed and Breakfast is just 15 minutes from the bustling frontier town of Durango, Colorado. We’re also just 30 minutes from Mesa Verde National Park and 10 minutes to spectacular mountain sports and off-road adventure.
Counted among the top bed and breakfast inns in the United States by Country Inns, Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure, Blue Lake Ranch remains a quiet and affordable getaway-truly a place to regroup, renew, and rediscover. Located on 200 secluded acres with its own trout-filled lake, the Ranch is tucked in a spring fed valley well off the county road. Famous for its spectacular gardens and mountain views the Ranch offers unparalleled year-round sensory delights, from the quiet of a winter's snowfall to the fragrance of 10,000 iris in summer bloom. Our heirloom (old fashioned) flower seeds and jams & honeys are available for purchase.
