Pretty tasty food, affordable prices. Great little local bar & grill! We often ride bikes down there with our little one in tow, and eat on their back patio. Our favs: Grilled Bird Veggie Melt burritos, fish tacos, or Hotchkiss burger * Salads are also pretty yummy, just get that dressing on the side, unless you like it doused on there!

Often live music (nearly every Friday night in summer) plus big & awesome swings for all ages! Hard apple ciders, camping, fruit orchard, tree nursery, souvenir shop, pick fruit here, frisbee golf & more! (Home of Big B's organic ciders) Great for lunch or dinner or quick stop for fresh fruit or 6pk cider. Oh! And their food. AMAAZING. Can't go wrong. Did I already say that?

These burgers are locally & sustainably sourced. They also have sans MEAT options avail, like 1 or 2 :) Yummy shakes & malts tho. They just have weird hours sometimes (maybe that's all small towns)

Excellent pizza place just opened in Jan 2023. We recommend any of them, but the ‘The Fig’ pizza is by far our fav thus far! I hear some pretty amazing ice cream sandwiches the size of your face are made with local, Third Bowl Ice cream.

This is close. Maybe 4 min drive. Great place to snag a cup of Joe or a chai in the morning. In fact, I LOVE their vanilla, chocolate or spiced chai. Get it while it's HOT! (For reals, they close at 2PM) maybe even earlier on weekends.

Visit the town of Cedaredge if you get the chance (35 min drive) it’s just a little more cooler than Hotchkiss, (as far as happening events, we’ll get there someday!) right up there with Paonia. It’s got an amazing art gallery; Grand Mesa Arts & Event Center. (Think workshops, live music, art and more) + Sips on Main Wine Bar. Great places to eat like Lost Mesa Grill. And the ‘front porch’ of Cedaredge where everyone gathers; Main Street Market. Serving delicious coffee, treats, food, souvenirs & gifts, and mostly, the people of this town are amazing. It’s a 35 min drive, near the base of the Grand Mesa! Stop by either Sugar Mama’s Bake Shop (pastries & bread) or Aspen Trails for some amazing food, ice cream or hot chocolate before you head up the Grand Mesa!

A bit of a drive, (1.5hrs from Hotchkiss) this beautiful spot is worth it (recc: ONLY go in summer!) The cooling pools of water among the high desert are relaxing and almost never packed with people. Bring some snacks, drinks, sunscreen & shades and you're set!

Beautiful scenery next to the river. I'll admit, first driving in you're like, wait-- is this right? But then, you're like, they're hiding this gem! And Paonia sure is. Great for a little stroll. Don't miss some fun festivals in this park too.

Bring ice & cooler, fire wood if you want a fire

There is not currently a fridge in the cabin, please remember to bring these items, if you do not plan to eat out at the few restaurants we have in the area! Also, fire wood. As our availability for it on the property, varies with the season.
