Secluded Nature Retreat with Private Hot Tub
Nestled along the scenic Dolores River, Slippery Rock River Ranch offers 40 acres of pristine wilderness where rugged beauty meets modern comfort. This private retreat features 5 contemporary cabins, a riverside apartment, and a spacious main lodge designed for gathering—perfect for family reunions, group getaways, or a secluded mountain escape. Spend your days fly fishing on the river, hiking nearby trails, or soaking in the hot tub under starry skies before retreating to your cozy cabin. The property is connected by gravel paths that wind between the lodge and cabins, creating a true Colorado hideaway. With world-class fly fishing at your doorstep, Dunton Hot Springs just minutes away, and Telluride less than an hour north, adventure and relaxation are always within reach.
