Aladdin's lamp is amazing! The hut is well stocked, while still being a rustic ski hut (a perfect combination!). It's incredible to be able to stay in this very special off-the-grid home and get time in the beautiful San Juan mountains. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The Aladdin's Lamp Hut is a true gem in the Colorado backcountry that's worth every penny and more. It's easily accessible and the inside is very nice and comfortable. Even with eight people the hut doesn't feel terribly crowded. It has all the basic necessities one could ask for and the surrounding terrain is absolutely stunning no matter what time of year you choose to visit. Gorgeous views for miles in every direction! Great area for skiing and snowboarding as well with limitless opportunities for fun runs. I have fallen in love with this place and will most definitely return!

We love staying in this hut. I host mindful nature retreats and this hut always provides the perfect combination of accessibility and the feel of remote wilderness. Everyone always loves staying here.

As always the stay was quiet and relaxing. Nothing replaces the simplicity of cabin stays. This cabin is our favorite.

We loved our stay at Aladdin's Lamp Hut. The cabin is set far enough from the road that we felt like we were in our own personal remote wilderness area. The woodstove and well-stocked firewood kept us cozy on the cold nights. We experienced sun, rain, snow, and beautiful fall colors on this trip. A beautiful setting, and the perfect base camp for exploring the Silverton area. Can't wait to stay here again! Joe & Lauren

We really enjoyed our one-week stay at Aladdin's Lamp Hut. It was the prime of Autumn weather and we found the Hut to be very adequate for our needs. The views are better than we expected and the privacy from 550 is tremendous. Kennan is a gracious host and went out of his way to make everything nice. The Hut is very clean and everything you need is convenient. Would love to stay again!

The cabin is spotless, and the view is incredible. Definitely my favorite place to take the family for a weekend get away. Skiing in the winter is as fun as hiking around the cabin during the summer.

We could not have asked for a better trip! The location of the hut was a perfect jumping off point for all of our activities up and down the Million Dollar Highway. Clean and stocked, we were very impressed with accommodations. Thank you for so many wonderful memories! The Waltons

Aladdin's Lamp is a magical spot! What a gift the owners are willing to share it!! My girl friends and I found the hut in spotless condition, super well equipped and comfy cozy!! We want to go back as often as possible!! We are so grateful for the opportunity to enjoy each other at this pristine hut nestled in the San Juan Mts!!

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Truly a quintessential Colorado cabin. Can't wait to do it again...and stay longer. Regards, Granville and Siobhan Conway Bayfield, CO

We had so much fun checking out the Silverton area and glamping it out Aladdin's Lamp Hut. It had everything we needed and appreciated the running water (in the summer). The scenery around the cabin was amazing... our favorite was the fog over the mountain in the morning. The beds were comfortable and we all enjoyed the board games and puzzles in the evening. Thanks for sharing!

We absolutely loved the hut and having such accessible solitude. We used the hut as a base camp for our elopement and the grounds were a perfect backdrop for our photos. We enjoyed every aspect of the cabin from the stove to fire and puzzles. This place will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we will definitely be coming back!

Place is so sweet! Access to some great ski touring and backcountry jump spots, in a beautiful environment. Clean and warm with the stove burning, outhouse was clean. All together a fantastic experience and can’t wait to come back next winter.

This hut is such a lovely getaway with beautiful views! Close to the road so easy to access, but far enough that it feels you're off the beaten track. We've stayed here several times over the last 5 years and have loved each and every time. It's well cared for and the owners seem to make upgrades every year to keep things feeling clean and nice. We'll be coming back next year!

We had a great weekend at Aladdin's Lamp Hut. Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer. :) The hut was very well-equipped and comfortable. It was perfect for our group of 2 moms and 3 kids (ages 9-11) and had plenty of room for additional people if the rest of our families had been able to join us. The kids had a great time building snow forts and sledding out in front of the hut. We went on a nice ski right from the hut and explored the area across Hwy 550. We could have spent hours tooling around over there. We also scoped out some kid-friendly, low angle terrain up at the top of Molas Pass that we plan to explore on our next trip. We have been to Aladdin's Lamp hut in both summer and winter and loved it in both seasons! We are already looking forward to planning our next trip back.

Our stay at Aladdin’s Lamp Hut was delightful. The short hike from the parking area brought us up to the hut, which sits beneath a castle-like peak. The hut was spacious, with much natural light coming through its windows. Its wood stove was remarkably efficient; one night, we simply didn’t need to use it, even in winter. Its various systems were well-planned and efficient, making our stay comfortable and easy. I’d recommend a stay here to anyone.

Amazing time! The hut, the property, it was beautiful. Will be back again! Wish we had more time to stay.

Most amazing and beautiful hut. The students were moved by the beauty of the mountains and loved the ability they got to disconnect. This was an amazing opportunity for all of us and we felt so blessed to enjoy the amazing winter weather in such a beautiful place. One of the nicest huts I have been to, the solar powered lights were really nice, and so many amenities. We were extremely excited about the distance from the car and the indoor pit toilet. Couldn't have had a better stay!

The Aladdin Hut is a great launch pad for all of your winter activities. We had a great weekend and enjoyed the cabin. The instructions were very clear and made our stay easy and enjoyable.

We are 2 couples from Telluride who enjoyed a Valentines trip to the Alladins lamp hut. We all have stated in some pretty rustic ski huts around the world and we’re happy to stay in such a fancy one! An easy and short approach from the parking area was a big bonus. We enjoyed 2 nights, cozy and warm. We love that the outhouse is kind of indoors. We had a lovely, sunny ski tour and even saw a beautiful lynx sneaking through the forest. We wined & dined, howled at the full moon, and enjoyed the simple pleasures of being away from it all! Thanks for a great stay!

Spent a night (far too short...will do 2 nights next time!) with husband, 6 1/2 yr old daughter and a few close friends to celebrate a birthday. The hut was absolutely amazing! Beautifully built, adorned, supplied and taken care of...honestly expected we'd be "roughing it" a bit more! (not complaining!) The wood stove was more than adequate to heat the hut, including the wee hours of the morning when it was coldest, without a lot of fuss or attention/wood restocking needed. The kitchen was stocked well for cooking a meal, with plenty of pots/pans, utensils, plates/bowls etc. We used the cooktop inside, did not use the grill but it would have been so easy and convenient to do so. Plenty of large pots for snowmelt on the stove, although we opted to haul up drinking water. Given the short walk up from the vehicle parking location it was not an issue to haul a few heavier/cumbersome items like a 5 gallon drinking jug by sled. This short trail also made it easy for a few members of our group with different abilities to access the hut - snow shoes were adequate and short enough distance to accommodate those who don't normally venture into the winter woods! The pit toilet was the "nicest I've seen in a while" according to 1 member of our group. It is separated from the main living area enough to not notice, but also really appreciated that you don't need to go outside at all to access! Especially in the middle of the night in mid-winter! The night time sky was a highlight, absolutely amazing star gazing from the front deck - and from the amazing floor to ceiling bedroom windows! Sleeping quarters were comfortable and cozy, definitely no separation from others (as expected from pictures) so make sure you like who you invite along/bring ear plugs ;) There were games and a few toys in the living room bench drawers, which we enjoyed playing and were not expected. Great communication with owners. Overall just a great experience and a beautiful gem of a hut! Thanks for opening up your special place to others to enjoy!

We enjoyed every part of our stay here at Aladdin's Lamp Hut! Great access to skiing, sledding and easy hike in. The hut had all the amenities we needed and great games on hand. Thank you! We will be back.

We had a wonderful time at Aladdin's Hut! Hiking through the snowy forest, sitting on the deck in the morning sun and playing games in the cozy living room night. The views are spectacular during the day and under the full moon at at night. Communication was excellent especially when there was snow a few days before our arrival to check that we were okay with the conditions. Thank you!

We live in Durango and had a wonderful girls getaway to honor our dear friend who passed away earlier this year and loved these mountains. Staying at Alladins Lamp Hut felt so special and it was so easy compared to tent camping which gave us plenty of time to spend together and share wine, stories and meals cooked in the kitchen. The bonfire at night was also a highlight. We plan to make this an annual trip and hopefully next year we will stay for even longer. It’s a well thought out design, very clean and organized and supplied with all the dishes and tools you need for cooking. I also love that the outhouse is an “in-house” and you don’t have to go outside to pee in the middle of the night!

Our family loves this area of Colorado and was thrilled to find this place to stay - everything you needed but nothing you don't (three cheers for no cell coverage!). It is in the woods, but with amenities that made it comfortable, and close enough to town that we could restock or get to wifi in 10 minutes. The design of the structure is incredibly well thought out. The solar power is phenomenal, the oven worked great, the "in"house bathroom was such an luxury compared to many of our campsites. I do wish you couldn't hear the noise from 550 but it's understandable. Overall, this is a "glamping" site for folks who are used to less amenities when camping, and a "we can do this" opportunity for those just trying out being more rustic. We'll be back!

Wildflowers are popping! Cabin super clean and user friendly. A really nice stay.

The Aladdin's Lamp hut is magical. Surrounded by the majestic San Juan Mountains, the setting is unbelievably beautiful, private, and peaceful. The hut is extremely well stocked and comfortable. It provided the perfect retreat after a day of playing in the mountains. We couldn't get over the views, especially at sunrise and sunset. Truly a vacation for the books!

We had an amazing stay at Aladdins Lamp! It is the perfect balance of an austere trip to the mountains with a little extra. We brought along our 7 month old and this was a great first step to camping. Very cozy. Had everything we could have needed. I very much appreciate that everyone keeps it clean after their stay so we can all enjoy it at a super reasonable price. We hope to come back some time very soon!
