Area Description: Paonia is a small town located in the North Fork (of the Gunnison River) Valley. It is close to the West Elk Wilderness Area, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and other federal lands. Thus, outdoor recreation is readily available — hiking, cycling, fishing, Nordic skiing, etc. Paonia is noted for its wine and fruit. The highest concentration of organic growers in the state is located here. The beauty of the valley draws artists of all media to make their home in the Paonia area.
Site: Ancient cottonwoods shade the two porches on the front of the hotel. As you enter the lobby you are drawn to the bronze art piece (“The Travelers” by Lincoln Fox) by the open stairway to the second and third floors. Then you note the welcoming lobby. Though the open doorways you view the dining room. As you enter you admire the antique back bar and the bay window. Behind the dining room are the owners’ quarters and a commercial kitchen. The second and third floors each have a center hall from which you can enter the five guest rooms with private baths. All rooms are wired for phones and cable TV. Going to the basement you find a large conference/all purpose room, two half baths, a storage room and the boiler/laundry room. An enclosed fire stairs accesses all floors and exits onto the back deck.
