This year, I’m stoked about our plans to add even more unique artwork to our rooms finally coming to fruition! Some pieces have been part of my personal collection for years (finally making their Moon debut), others are fresh finds from new fave artists—complete with custom frame jobs thanks to . Almost every piece adorning our guest room walls is for sale. That’s right, you can take home a one-of-a-kind souvenir right off the walls!

I’m especially pumped about an upcoming large-format print by the incredibly talented . It’s going to be HUGE and will soon be front and center in the revamped King Suite. (Room 1 is shaping up to be quite the rodeo-inspired haven. Can’t wait to reveal in progress updates to y’all in just a few weeks!)

Pictured here: one of my absolute favorite pieces by , hanging in Room 9 and yes, it’s up for grabs. Like it? Buy it! 🖼️

…P.S. We still have a few rooms left tonight and tomorrow night with the $85/night rate in effect to honor ’s 85th year 🎂🎿

To wrap up our month-long content series celebrating some of the small businesses, independent brands, and boutique destinations we love (we barely scratched the surface TBH…), I want to take a moment to say thank you. ☺️

Thank you to everyone who follows us, stays with us, shops with us, collaborates with us, and supports and in every way. This is a 24/7/365 job, so your support means the world!

I don’t show my face here often, but I’m Lauren—the owner of The Mellow Moon—and this is my little family: my husband Stephen and our two sons, Everett (3 years) and Burke (3 months). 👋

When I bought The Mellow Moon in 2022 and we moved from Denver to Del Norte, I couldn’t wait to join this incredible small-town community, to welcome guests to experience the beauty of the San Luis Valley and the awesomeness of Del Norte in particular, and to put my stamp on this roadside Lodge that I love so much.

It’s been a wild + rewarding few years—building a business, raising two little ones, and finding our rhythm in a new town. Through all the chaos and the spinning of plates (some days better than others…), this place has truly become home. I’m so very grateful for the guests we get to host, the community we’re lucky to be part of, and the chance to do work that connects people with the places we share.

To our friends, family, guests, customers, neighbors, and fellow local businesses: thank you, from the bottom of my heart. 💛

Here’s to many more years of connection, adventure, and creativity at the Mellow Moon.
