The Best Rest in the Southwest

  • “What a gem! I am on a lengthy road trip (several months) and this was the perfect soft landing. The hosts are incredibly responsive, gracious and warm. The vibe of the hostel is chic, comfortable, relaxed and modern — all at the same time. You can do your own thing or mix and mingle. The bathrooms/showers were excellent! I slept so comfortably and cannot say enough good things about the environment from the lounge areas, kitchen, amenities, location and hosts! A must stay if you’re in the Dolores area!”

  • I was on a group ride and stayed here. Our entire group was blown away by the experience. Jake and Hannah were amazing hosts. The bunks were so comfortable I slept a full 8 hours that night. The bathrooms and showers were NICE. Great kitchen. Great spots to relax. I absolutely recommend DBH!

    -Dave

  • Awesome place in an awesome town. The hosts are so kind, and as knowledgeable as can be on all things biking and adventuring in the Colorado and Utah mountains. The hostel itself is squeaky clean, warm and homey, and very thoughtfully designed. Strongly recommend staying here or stopping by!!

    -Max

  • This place is amazing and definitely not just just for cyclists. The place has a hip, Southwest by Scandinavian decor. Lots of cool art along with maps and adventure books to inspire your next journey. We stayed in the Suite room which was perfect for our family. The cereal bar was the highlight of the trip for our growing 10 year old. There’s a lovely Sauna!! Finally, the proprietor is super cool and helpful. Definitely a unique and lovely place to stay. Highly recommended.

Izaak Opatz

@5:00pm

Tickets $12 Presale/ $15 Day of Show

NEW LOCATION: DOLORES COMMUNITY CENTER

Like many of his favorite songwriters (John Hartford, Lucinda Williams, Jeff Tweedy), Izaak Opatz is an ungulate in life’s winter pasture, chewing on and metabolizing disappointment, heartbreak, and the other tough stuff into enjoyable musical carbohydrates.

A compulsive metaphorager (and inveterate wordplayboy), Opatz breaks it all down with enzymes of wry humor, thoughtful simile and close observation - a therapeutic process of narrativizing his own life that, almost as a byproduct, turns out savory nuggets of literate, confessional pop.

Johnny Delaware

With a sound rooted in a Laurel Canyon-meets-Southwest-American vibe, Delaware’s latest, Para Llevar, which, fittingly, translates to “to go,” continues to sound familiar yet escape an easy genre pigeonhole. Even Delaware has a difficult describing to others exactly what his music is, though he strives to write songs that have good choruses and can be played not only in an acoustic setting but with a full band.
