Aaaaaaand Breathe...

I was reminded of this amazing place today and just had to share. I've never officially made a bucket list, but if I had one, staying in this little cabin would be in the top 10.


Way out in Middle of Nowhere, Colorado, sits an old ghost town. A few years back, a loving family bought the place and transformed it into one of the Top 10 Luxury Hotels in the world.

Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, beauty abounds. I like how they stated it on their website: surrounded by "a plethora of magical places." I love magical places.



This place has natural hot springs. What better way to ease the aches from a long hike through the Rockies than soaking neck deep for hours while watching the sun go down, or looking up at millions of stars??


Oh, and it gets better. The on-site chef cooks according to your dietary needs (or preferences!). Do you need gluten free? No problem. Prefer fish to beef? Alright. (And did I mention they use nearly all local, organic ingredients?!)

You can have a picnic packed if you want to head out to the hills for the afternoon, but be sure to make it back by dark. The wine (from their near-by vineyard!) starts flowing as all of the guests gather 'round the old antique table for a family style dinner. How fun?! I love meeting new people over a great meal.



Would you go in the summer?



Fall?

Or winter?

magical places + mountain air + wildflowers + afternoon strolls + organic food (on an antique table, no less!) + local wine + new friends + hot springs (all with my cowboy!) = a really, really, realllllly fun time.

Even their logo is perfect.
