Dwell or nest, the choice is yours.

“Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere.” Anton Ego

But in our humble opinion - some of the very best come from our home state. The Frontier is a tribute to all the things we love - food, architecture, movies, and art! We’re excited to display works by some of Colorado's finest contemporary artists - our walls are blessed by the likes of Kim Allen, Stephen Batura, Brian Boettinger, Gifford Ewing, Tracy Felix, Hadley Hooper, John McEnroe, Margaret Neuman and David Zimmer. Additionally, we feature some international artists like Gonzalo Lebrija and Felix Gonzalo Torres.

No two rooms are the same - so each time you stay with us is a whole new adventure for the senses.

The Snack Bar just got a little more San Luis Valley.

We’re serving up some of the finest brews from Three Barrel Brewing — brewed right here in the valley, poured right here under the marquee. Grab a can before the show, or bring one to your suite's patio while the sky does its thing.

And Thursday through Sunday mornings, we’re serving up breakfast from Sunflower Cafe in Monte Vista, poured alongside coffee from Colorado’s own Glissade — the kind of coffee-and-a-plate combo that makes you glad you didn’t rush out of bed.

Good b**r, good breakfast, good coffee, same screen. Come hungry.

“Today, the former cinema anchors a retro-inspired hotel where guests sleep in Quonset-style yurts and vintage trailers, then gather outside for films beneath the famously dark skies of the San Luis Valley.”
