Property description
Dunton Hot Springs is an exclusive luxury mountain resort deep in the San Juan Range of the Colorado Rockies.
The perfectly restored ghost town thrives on contradictions; hand-hewn log cabins exquisitely furnished, a life-worn saloon serving food of startling quality, lung torturing trails followed by pampering massages, sensuous hot springs beneath shimmering snow banks. Devoid of cell phones the romantic old town provides high speed wireless internet access and video conferencing to the distant sound of a tumbling waterfall rather than a hissing city street.
Contradictions indeed, like the gentle tranquility or the host of exciting pursuits. Dunton can steer you to adventures you've always dreamed of pursuing. Sturdy horses to penetrate the endless wilderness, helicopter skiing in a silent world of powder and glistening sunlight, mountain bikes, snow shoeing, hiking, from leisurely to demanding, camping, fly fishing, river rafting, kayaking, the list is endless. Or perhaps more contemplative days exploring North Americas most concentrated and evocative archaeological sites.
The desert is at the doorstep, a vast Indian reservation is home to Monument valley and Cannon de Chelly places as unforgettable as the guides who will lead you through these wind carved masterpieces.
Or the ultimate luxury of immersing one self in the natural hot springs, in the carefully refurbished bath house or under an endless sky.
Dunton's chef has painstakingly established local sources for organic foods he lovingly prepares. Organic lamb from meadows that spawn fields of boletus and chanterelles, tree-ripe fruit and plump vegetables as well as big complex wines from our companions farm and vineyard. And the wine list is replete with first growth Bordeaux, California masterpieces, super Tuscans and lusty Aussie favorites.
Dunton Hot Springs lies 30 miles southeast of Telluride, and is open all year for individual and group bookings. Rates start at $250 per person per day and the entire town can be rented for $10,000 a day for as many as 34 people. All meals, non alcoholic beverages and unlimited use of the library, screening room, and hot springs are included. Transportation to a plethora of magical places as well as our local airports can be arranged for an additional charge.

Additional information
Hot Springs
Dunton’s celebrated Hot Springs bubble from the ground in a gorgeous yellow teepee, flowing from there into the bathhouse with its large pool, ice cold dip tank, steam room and shower, outside leads you to a small pool under an endless sky. Bathing suits are optional.
Library
The beautiful library has been lovingly stocked by Katrin Henkel and reflects her diverse interest from art to poetry, politics to records of this beautiful corner of Colorado. Instructions on how to check out these books are located on the back desk of the library, and please help us keep books where they belong.
Spa
We provide a full range of spa treatments and invite you to benefit from the best in Holistic and therapeutic healing techniques. Trager Therapy, Hot Stones, Swedish and Sports massage are available.
Activities
For the more energetic and adventurous Dunton is a wonderful place for hiking, horseback riding, fly fishing, rock and ice climbing, cross country skiing, dog sledding and mountain accents (we are ringed by 14,000 foot peaks.) Other loves to be lifted to glistening basins of powder snow by helicopter, or taken by road to breathtaking hikes amongst the magnificent canyons and gorges of our neighboring desert. Dunton has a companion farm and vineyard where tree ripe fruit and lusty wines can be enjoyed at Sutcliffe Vineyards deep in the McElmo Canyon.
Surrounding Areas
Telluride is just over the hill; national parks within a couple of hours drive include Canyon lands, Natural Bridges, Arches, and Mesa Verde, while the vast Navajo Reservation is home to Monument Valley, Valley of the Gods and Canyon de Chelly. The Million Dollar Highway, not for the faint hearted in winter, dizzily links Ouray, Silverton and Durango combines an Old Flavor with a host of great restaurants. And right across from Sutcliffe Vineyards is 168,000 acres of Canyon and mesa dotted with innumerable Anasazi sites, the Canyon of the Ancients National Monuments.
