Dunton Hot Springs

Restored in 1994 after seven years of renovation, Dunton Hot Springs occupies the site of a former silver mining camp just across the mountain from Telluride. The resort transforms a historic ghost town into an exclusive lodging destination where hand-hewn log cabins feature high-speed wireless internet and video conferencing. Guests access natural hot springs, including a geyser that bubbles every 45 minutes, and dine at the life-worn saloon. The entire town, including the dance hall, can be rented exclusively for corporate retreats, family reunions, and weddings. Situated in the San Juan Mountains, the property offers day and overnight packages alongside lung-torturing trails and pampering massages.
