Slumber in a Cave…

Carved into a red Entrada sandstone shelf, the Cave Suites at Honey Rock Landing make for a one-of-a-kind stay. Owner Colby Barrett — a geotechnical engineer who specializes in rock slide mitigation — leaned into the land’s natural contours, sculpting the rock into 400-square-foot suites, complete with private patios looking out at the orchards, copper soaking tubs, and walk-in showers lit by skylights.

Located on Colorado’s Western Slope, surrounded by the Dominguez Canyon Wilderness Area, the property doubles as a certified organic orchard. Cherries, peaches, pears, nectarines and a variety of other fruits like jujubes (also known as Chinese dates) grow alongside greenhouse crops that stretch the season.

The pivot into agrotourism is a smart hedge against the unpredictability of harvests, and it gives guests a front-row seat to the orchard with farm-fresh breakfasts and seasonal U-pick opportunities. Visitors enjoy harvest celebrations, farm-to-table dinners, live music gatherings, sauna sessions by the water, and guided orchard and greenhouse tours, said Erica Frank, sales, marketing and hospitality manager. An underground farm stand stocked with the recent harvest and other treats.

The cave suites opened in October 2025, and the hospitality side of the orchard is already expanding. Next up: a slot-canyon-inspired underground pool set to open this summer and a larger “Cave Hausche” designed for groups and multi-generational families, with a communal kitchen and shared gathering spaces.

Rates start around $450 on weekdays and $600 on weekends, with Saturday stays including a farm-to-table dinner. 2444 Dominguez Canyon Road, Delta; honeyrocklanding.com
