Waunita Hot Springs Ranch is a year-round destination nestled high in the Colorado Rockies at 8,946 feet, just west of the Continental Divide and surrounded by Gunnison National Forest. Family-owned and operated for more than 50 years, the ranch blends authentic Western hospitality with comfortable lodging, scenic landscapes, and expansive access to hundreds of thousands of acres of forest and pastureland. Guests enjoy peaceful seclusion, abundant wildlife, and sweeping views of Tomichi Dome and the Waunita Valley, creating an unforgettable mountain retreat experience.

The ranch offers inviting accommodations in its main lodge and Hillside Lodge, each featuring private baths and welcoming spaces designed for relaxation. Amenities include a spacious dining room, gathering areas, a barn for meetings and events, and one of Colorado’s largest private hot springs–fed pools complete with a bath house and hot tub. With a rich history dating back to the late 1800s and a legacy of warm hospitality from the Pringle family, Waunita Hot Springs Ranch continues to provide the perfect setting for family reunions, weddings, retreats, and memorable getaways in every season.
