About this apartment rental
Stay in a Piece of Rico's Mining History
30-night minimum stay • Discounts available for stays of 90+ nights.
Welcome to the Historic Rico Miners Apartment, a beautifully remodeled one-bedroom retreat located in the heart of downtown Rico, Colorado. Set within the historic Hinckley House, this property was once the private residence, office, guest quarters, and workshop of Sherman Hinckley, president of the Rico Argentine Mining Company from the post-World War II era until the mine's closure in 1971. Today, the carefully restored property offers three unique private accommodations that blend Rico's rich mining heritage with modern comforts.
Located directly across from the Historic Courthouse and just one block from Main Street, you'll be within walking distance of restaurants, the Dolores River, and local trails while enjoying easy year-round access.
Only 25 miles from Telluride and Mountain Village Gondola, this apartment is an ideal home base for an extended mountain stay. The SMART Shuttle to Telluride conveniently picks up just one block away.
Designed for Comfortable Extended Stays
Freshly remodeled in 2026, the apartment combines historic character with modern conveniences throughout.
Approximately 500 square feet, plus access to a spacious 250-square-foot entry and laundry room, the apartment comfortably accommodates longer stays.

Meet Your Hosts
We split our time between Rico and Salt Lake City. During the summer we're often next door in the main residence, but we always respect our guests' privacy.
If you're looking for recommendations on hiking, hot springs, fly fishing, scenic drives, restaurants, or local history, we're always happy to help.
Self check-in is easy with your personalized access code and Yale Smart Lock.
Discover Rico
Rico is one of Colorado's last authentic Victorian mining towns, nestled in the San Juan National Forest at 8,827 feet above sea level. It's peaceful, uncrowded, and surrounded by some of the state's most spectacular mountain scenery.
From the apartment you can walk to:
The Historic Courthouse (across the street)
The Enterprise Bar & Grill, one of Colorado's oldest bars
Fireweed Mercantile (Espresso, Eats, general store)
Rico Museum
Prospector Restaurant
Rico Skate Park
The Dolores River for world-class fly fishing runs directly through town.
Miles and miles of well maintained hiking and biking trails, in the winter access to Ricos groomed cross country ski trails just outside your door.
Spend your days hiking, mountain biking, fishing, exploring Jeep trails, soaking in nearby hot springs, or skiing Telluride before returning to the quiet charm of Rico each evening.
