Waunita Hot Springs Ranch
Our motto "For The Best Week of Your Year" says it all. Located 10 miles from the Continental Divide and adjacent to the Gunnison National Forest, Waunita is the site of Colorado's hottest springs, allowing us not only water for our 35x90 ft. swimming pool, but also heat and domestic hot water for all buildings. The ranch program features riding on different trails each day, from meadows for loping to spectacular above-timberline scenery. Fishing available on the ranch and at nearby streams, beaver ponds and lakes. Other activities include a raft or float trip, hiking, three cookouts at different forest locations, overnight campout, hayride, square dancing, scenic van trips, Western music show, volleyball, mountain biking, trap shooting and horseshoes. Our supervised children's program and petting zoo are favorites with the younger crowd. Meals are plentiful and wholesome, plus we are happy to accommodate special diets. Massages available at an extra charge. The Pringle family has owned and operated the ranch for 49+ years and three generations are here to greet guests. And our lodge accommodations are convenient, comfortable and charming. Laundry facilities are available for guests. During the 2010 summer season we had a 76% return/direct referral rate. Between October and April we cater to B&B guests, groups for skiing, snowmobiling, meetings, and retreats. Our all-inclusive rate includes everything except tax and optional gratuity. Come and enjoy our quiet and beautiful corner of the Colorado mountains!
