Dunton Hot Springs

There will be a third!!! Great overall experience w food being at top of list.Staff was extremelyfriendly and efficient.Accomodations are great with hot springs a neat way to end day, Loaded w amenities and an overall great experience. Opportunity to meet other guests at dinner was another enjoyable opportunity.

A charming rustic retreat flanked by miles of pine and aspen trees with beautiful mountain peaks in the background. And a majestic waterfall just a short walk from our tent! This is a one-with-nature trip without the "roughing it" part (although no TV's in cabins and very weak wifi may be very rough for some :)). Our tent (the Christy's tent) was a lovely representation of a "gone glamping" getaway with a large slate tile shower and scenic view as if outdoors. Hot spring in the bath house felt perfect after hours of hiking. Does get very chilly at night - even for June. Food is delicious - fresh local ingredients highlighted with top-notch execution paired with wines served family style for lunch and en plate for dinner all at one large table with other guests. They will create a romantic table for two if desired as we did several times. Staff goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome and like family. My one (or two) caveat: excursions/tour guides are pricey add-ons to the already luxury price point so if you plan to do a tour guide excursion a few times it will cost $$$$ and gratuity is additional. Did not expect that on my check-out bill. Would like if they will include an excursion (and gratuity fees) in the future to make it a true all inclusive.

Our family was looking for a place with casual luxury, and we found it at Dunton River Camp. Tents are really cabins with canvas sides with all the hotel luxuries we hoped for. All the dining experiences far exceeded our expectations. Dinner included wine pairings, beautiful presentation, and accommodations for our various preferences. Fishing and Horseback Riding were well-guided for a three-generation group like ours, and all the activities were long enough to enjoy but not so long to be burdensome. And the hot springs! A new experience for us, and the set up was great. But the greatest of all were the Dunton team. These are kind and thoughtful people with a heart for hospitality and for others. We'll be telling stories about this trip forever!
