Micro Wedding Venue
Dunton Hot Springs
Dolores, Colorado
A romantic, hand-hewn 1800s ghost town tucked into an alpine valley across the mountain from Telluride.
Set in a secluded valley along the West Fork of the Dolores River, this meticulously restored nineteenth-century mining camp offers unmatched rustic seclusion. Hand-hewn log cabins, mineral-rich thermal bathhouses, and an authentic dance hall salon surround a picturesque alpine meadow framed by the San Juan Mountains. Outdoor gatherings look out onto tumbling waterfalls and aspen groves before moving indoors for farm-to-table feasts beside crackling wood stoves. The entire enclave delivers a completely immersive, storied frontier experience.
What's included
