We offer rooms with both private and shared bathrooms, as well as breakfast and cooking facilities for all of our guests. Surrounded by the beautiful San Juan National Forest, the possibilities for any nature lover are endless.

We are only 30 minutes from Telluride, a world class ski resort during the winter, and where during the summer there is a different festival happening every week.
