Dunton Hot Springs is a small and exclusive resort nestled deep in the San Juan Mountains of the Colorado
Rockies that has brought a beautiful historic corner of Colorado back to life.
This romantic ghost town resort thrives off its plethora of amenities including 12 unique, exquisitely furnished,
hand-hewn, private log cabins and 1 luxury tent crafted from canvas, salvaged wood and materials from the
1800s; a life-worn saloon serving local and regional culinary creations; a private spa and natural hot springs; and
more wilderness than can be reasonably explored in a lifetime. Winter or summer activities range from the easy
to heart-pounding, and Dunton can steer you to adventures you’ve only dreamed of.
All cabins are hand-built, and in some cases, by the original miners themselves. Lovingly restored, each possesses
a distinct character, is tastefully decorated, and full of unique artifacts and furnishings. Every window affords
magnificent views of the mountains and the pristine alpine valley setting.
