The site is available for outdoor ceremonies from June through September, accommodating up to 70 guests amid sweeping mountain views and the weathered architecture of Colorado's mining past. Because Ashcroft sits on U.S. Forest Service land within the White River National Forest, the grounds remain open to the public throughout the rental period and are suited to ceremonies only — receptions, tents, tables, chairs, and food service are not permitted on site.
