This All-Inclusive Luxury Resort in a Colorado Ghost Town Just Got a Multimillion-dollar Renovation

"The multimillion-dollar project refreshed guest cabins and communal spaces, including the historic Saloon and Dance Hall and the updated five-bedroom Potter House, the resort's largest accommodation. The Relais & Châteaux stay sits in a remote valley in Colorado's San Juan Mountains, about 30 miles from Telluride, and draws guests for its mineral-rich hot springs, mountain views, and just 14 hand-built log cabins, all dating back to the town's mining heyday. Chef-driven meals and a serious wine program round out the off-grid but decidedly luxurious vibe."

"The restoration preserved original elements like hand-hewn log walls, while adding wide-plank oak floors, custom-made furniture, and contemporary finishes. A queen bedroom with en-suite bath is on the main floor, while upstairs, a king bedroom comes with a deep soaking tub and rain shower. And in the cabin's living room, large windows make the most of views onto the Dolores River and surrounding mountains."

Dunton Hot Springs completed a three-year, multimillion-dollar renovation that refreshed 14 hand-built log cabins and communal spaces, including the Saloon, Dance Hall, and the five-bedroom Potter House. The property sits in a remote San Juan Mountains valley about 30 miles from Telluride and features mineral-rich hot springs, mountain views, chef-driven meals, and a serious wine program. Waldo Works led design efforts to preserve original elements such as hand-hewn logs while introducing wide-plank oak floors, custom furniture, layered textiles, sculptural lighting, and contemporary finishes. Restorations prioritized stewardship to protect the town's character and ensure long-term restoration and a deeply personal guest experience.
