Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado (alternately titled "dream relaxation vacation")






I saw Dunton Hot Springs on A Cup of Jo last week and have been thinking about it ever since. The weather here has been rainy, cold and gray for days - all of which I'd be happy to accept if I were sitting in a steaming hot spring sipping something delicious.

One of the cool things about Dunton Hot Springs in particular is that it's in an old ghost town that has been turned into a destination resort, complete with luxury cabins, holistic spa, organic restaurant and of course the hot springs. Oh, and don't forget about the heli-skiing, rafting, ice skating, archery, snowshoeing, fly fishing, ice climbing, and dance hall. You know, in case you can drag yourself out of the hot springs for more than 10 minutes. DHS is located in an alpine valley in Colorado (near Telluride) and was named the #1 luxury hotel in the US. Wow. Sounds incredible.

Even more sweet? You can rent the whole town for 42 friends or family member. Awesome!

Too bad most of the packages cost about three thousand buckaroos. Ah, one can dream.
