RESTAURANTS: Paonia Favorites within walking distance:
Paonia has more food options than you'd expect of a small town. Some have no website such as:
Food Trucks: on the south end of Grand Ave you'll find a truck a day with changing culinary offerings - Thai, Tacos and more depending on the day
Bergs makes extremely yummy burgers and fries.
Breakfast on back porch overlooking an orchard is nice too... but those burgers are hard to beat.

Great scene, great atmosphere. Music, swings, food, cider. Lively outdoor summer music venue. Check to see if they are having a BBQ or live music. Even if they're not, they have good food, long-roped swings in the trees and a great music system outdoors. You can also walk through their extensive orchards.

A nice walk or bike ride from the cottage, this is a favorite as there's a beautiful grassy area along the river that's furnished with Adirondack chairs. We've spent hours there birdwatching, reading and of course, sipping wine in the shade. A perfect place to spend a lazy summer afternoon.
Open every day 10am-6pm from Memorial Day to Halloween.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE
We really love this place. It's been a family reunion highlight for us the last four years. We've taken large family groups on half-day rafting trips down the North Fork of the Gunnison from Hotchkiss through the Gunnison Gorge. Daniel is a very experienced raft guide who knows the geology, bird life and local history, adding to the awesome experience they offer.
Stand up paddling, white water rafting, kayaking, lessons, rentals and tours.
