Andrew (our host) made us feel welcome. Rico is relatively close to Telluride, and the Mine Shaft Inn is certainly a better value for the money compared to anything you will find in Telluride.

Nice place, but it's up for sale. Hopefully it doesn't get more expensive after it sells.

Great little gem!
We enjoyed just about everything here. Great breakfast, unique, clean and comfortable. Great wifi(Starlink). The only thing that could make it perfect is darker or blackout curtains.

The Mine Shaft Inn is a beautiful place where you walk into a different era. Jorden, the front staff was phenomenal. The room was spotless. The town is wholesome and friendly. We'll be back.

Wonderful Small Town Accommodations
I've stayed here multiple times and love it. Great service and hospitality, yummy breakfast, a home away from home, comfy, amazing location, and the building itself is a historic treasure. Definitely will stay again!

Nice property and very clean. However, the queen mattress needs to be replaced. It is very soft and has a huge ident in the middle. Worse night of sleep for my wife and I in years.
