OUTSIDE DESIGN HOTEL / salida, co

Nestled just outside of Salida, Colorado, the newest cabin at Outside Design Hotel offers more than a place to stay — it offers a way to experience the landscape, the design, and the rhythms of a slower life.

We documented a couple’s stay, focusing not just on the physical space, but on the moments that make a stay feel like home: morning light spilling across natural wood, quiet cups of coffee shared on the porch and the calm, grounding energy of returning after a day exploring the Colorado mountains.

The cabin is thoughtfully designed — modern, warm, and intentional — with materials, light, and layout all working together to create a sense of ease. Outside Design Hotel is a reminder that the most compelling hospitality stories are experienced, not just seen.
