Built around renovated historic monuments, the exclusive Dunton Hot Springs resort offers a romantic backdrop with rugged, bucolic landscapes that evolve with the seasons. You will enjoy meals in the Saloon's open kitchen, much of whose original decor has been preserved. Whether you are thirsty for adventure or concerned about your peace and quiet, Dunton Hot Springs offers a myriad of outdoor and variously themed activities. Relax in the natural hot springs pool while gazing at the mountains in the background before reading a good book by the library fireplace...
