Your Home Base for Discovery!

The Stone House Inn - in Crawford, Colorado - offers the finest and most central accommodations for your exploration of the north rim of the Black Canyon, Crawford State Park, the West Elk Wilderness, Needle Rock, ​and the ranching & organic farming paradise of the North Fork Valley.

Whether your visit is focused on taking in the natural wonders of the area, or on savoring the bounty of our orchards, farms and wineries, we are well-situated for your explorations.   Stay with us if you are looking for a romantic spot to get away with your sweetheart; if you desire the perfect home base for a visit to family or friends, or simply need restful headquarters for your explorations of the area.  Regardless of your plans, you will find your accommodations comfortable, clean, tasteful, well-appointed and completely private and self-contained.   Our goal is to provide a pleasing lodging experience so you find yourself well-rested for another great day of discovery in Western Colorado's North Fork Valley.

What to do in the North Fork Valley?

Try to contain your disbelief (and sense of vertigo) while peering into the incomprehensible 2000' gash of the Black Canyon, take in the photogenic 700' high volcanic monolith we call "Needle Rock", spend an afternoon or two exploring the organic farms, orchards and wineries of the North Fork Valley (Hotchkiss/Paonia area). Seek out the the local art scene - including North Rim Glass Studio just down the hill.  Savor a farm-to-table dinner, or better yet, go straight to the source and gather the finest fruits of the earth and enjoy it fresh -right now!  Notice the not-so-faint echo of our ranching history - the evidence is all around.  Hunt or fish for your family's sustenance.   Hike, or explore our trails on horseback.  Be still, observe and allow your being to be altered by this rare and wonderful place - you will be glad you did - you may even find it hard to leave.

We take COVID-19 Seriously

We take the health of all of our guests very seriously.  To keep you healthy on your travels we offer the following benefits:
  • We clean rooms thoroughly and completely between guests, focusing on all commonly touched surfaces such as door handles, light switches, remote controls, kitchen appliances, etc.
  • We greet guests in a socially distanced manner, while masked.  'No-greet' check-in's are available by request.
  • Both rooms are entirely self-contained without any common areas indoors.  Outdoor common areas allow for ample social distancing.

Stay Tuned...

Our vision for Crawford is growing, so we hope you'll join us in 2022 for an exciting expansion. We plan to create 2 additional guest rooms, a coffee shop, local wine bar & gift shop adjacent to The Stone House Inn! Enjoy a morning coffee before a hike at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and follow it up with a refreshing scoop of locally produced ice cream or relaxing glass of wine from one of the many wineries nearby.
