The experience

A place worth getting to know.

An ultra-luxury all-inclusive resort built inside a restored 1800s mining ghost town in the San Juan Mountains near Dolores, with about a dozen hand-hewn log cabins and tents. It is a Relais & Châteaux property with 16+ age policy and no day-use option — overnight guests only. Winter access can be difficult; the resort recommends coordinating transportation.

Plan your visit

This property is an overnight stay rather than a public day-pass stop. Compare the full lodging rate, inclusions, and minimum stay before booking.

Very expensive — well over $1,000 per night for two guests

The honest take

What to love. What to consider.

The highlights

  • Extremely private, small guest count in a stunning mountain ghost-town setting
  • All-inclusive: meals, drinks, and 24/7 hot spring access are covered
  • Historic, character-rich log cabins rather than a generic hotel

Keep in mind

  • Very expensive — well over $1,000 per night for two guests
  • No day use; you must book an overnight stay
  • No guests under 16 (unless you rent the whole town); winter access is weather-dependent
