Rico Mine Shaft Inn

We found this place looking for inexpensive options for an overnight trip to Telluride. If you want to save a couple hundred dollars on lodging for one night the wife and I would highly recommend the Mineshaft Inn in Rico, CO. It's maybe a 30-minute trip on into telluride and you get to see lizardhead pass! In fact I think my wife liked this place and Rico better than any place in Telluride. This bed and breakfast is a beautiful home with three wonderful rooms. The staff were very kind and attentive. The rooms are clean and very well decorated. Our room had a nice sized bathroom with a shower tub. The common room is a great place to do a little bit of reading in the evening. And the breakfast was pretty good too!

The Rico Mine Shaft Inn is a wonderful place to rest, recharge, and relax. From the homemade breakfasts to the amazing views of the snow falling outside (via HUGE windows in the main room) to the cozy beds and cleanliness all around, this spot is not to be missed.

Andrew and Jordan are wonderful people! The mine shaft is so beautiful and cozy my partner and I have been coming here for about three years now and each time it gets harder to leave. I love the esthetic of each room and the living room area makes me feel at home. I love the town of rico as well and their local bar is so much fun in the summer.
