The Unassuming Town Of Stratton, Colorado Is One Of America’s Best Hidden Gems For A Weekend Getaway

As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

You have seen Colorado’s incredible mountains, sampled the fruits of our wine country, and have explored our biggest and best cities… Now what? It’s time to visit the rolling and colorful Eastern Plains, with the surprising small town of Stratton as your basecamp for adventure. Learn why Stratton is one of the best weekend trips in Colorado:

Located near the Colorado/Kansas border along I-70, Stratton is a community of less than 700 that is either home to or located near numerous attractions.

Where does one stay when spending the weekend in a town of 600-some residents? At a luxurious bed, breakfast, and winery, of course!

Welcome to the charming Claremont Inn & Winery: a stunning home with gorgeous rooms, gourmet meals, and excellent wine tastings.

In addition to it being a bed and breakfast and winery, the Claremont Inn also hosts cooking classes, murder mysteries, escape rooms, and other on-site activities that you don't want to miss.

While you can always relax and spend the entire weekend at the Claremont (and who can blame you?), there is more to see and do around the Plains, like visiting the Old Town Museum, Kit Carson County Carousel, and various shops in nearby Burlington.

It isn't just Burlington that has new things to see and do; in fact, Stratton is also a short drive from the Limon Heritage Museum (Limon), Beecher Island Battleground (Wray), and Mount Sunflower (Wallas County, Kansas).

Need we mention that the Eastern Plains are wide open and just plain enjoyable to drive?
