COVID-19 Notice

Dear Guests, Please note that in an effort to discourage travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have chosen to close the Inn until June 19.   Please know that we look forward to meeting each and every one of you once travel is again a safe option.  Stay well!   Nathan & Lara

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 known as 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 for the weekend; need the perfect home base for a visit to family or friends, or simply need a  restful headquarters for your explorations of the area - or for your hunting or fishing excursion. 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.

​Some guest feedback...

​"A very peaceful part of the world, and the Stone House Inn is a big part of that... reminds us both of where we grew up, how life still can be.  A very nice place."  John & Becky

"The rooms are wonderful and we enjoyed our stay.  You seem to have thought of every little detail... we will be sure to visit again!" Rachel & Aaron

"A friend of ours mentioned how she had such a great time here on her birthday so we decided to check it out!  Best decision ever!!  We stayed in Aspen for a few days but we enjoyed it here much more!  We will definitely be coming back.  The location, the room, the peace and quiet... it was exactly what we needed."  Andrew and Viola

"We travelled 2,000 miles around America and these were the nicest accommodations we have had... plus we saw a bear!" Jacob-Johannes, Netherlands
