| The Inn | |
| The Suncatcher Inn is Colorado's only strawbale, solar bed and breakfast. It is lit, powered and warmed by god's gift to the western slope, abundant sunshine. When the sun doesn't shine, in floor heat and super insulation keep the place warm with very little energy expenditure. | ![]() |

The
Inn is situated with a spectacular view of the North Fork of the Gunnison
River Valley and West Elk Mountains. The Black Canyon National Park
is twenty to forty minutes away. Excellent cross country skiing, snowmobiling
and hut trips are within an hour away. Orvis Hotsprings and Glenwood
Springs are two hours away.

| The Deck | |
| The deck off the kitchen is a great spot to hang out during the warm months and the plantfilled, two story solarium is the place to enjoy the sun on less balmy days. | ![]() |

The
SunCatcher offers four environmentally friendly, sunny upstairs rooms
that rent nightly or are available for longer stays with possible discount
depending on the time of year.
Two full baths serve the four upstairs rooms. |
| The East Room | |
| The east room is probably the warmest and gets the first sun that peeps out of the east. It offers a window seat that looks out on one of the best views in the west elk mountains. The room is painted in purple trim and offers a large, king size bed and lots of closet space. | ![]() |
| The West Room | |

The
large west room looks out over the solarium. It too has a king bed and
walk in closet which connects with the upstairs bath. The west room
also offers the novelty of the sky lite over the headboard for those
who like to drift off gazing at the Big Dipper.
