About Somerset
Somerset is a tiny mountain hamlet tucked along the North Fork Gunnison River in western Colorado. With only a few dozen residents, this historic coal-mining outpost offers a quiet, secluded lifestyle beneath the rugged peaks near McClure Pass. It is about as peaceful as mountain living gets, with surrounding public lands for outdoor recreation and the farm stands, wineries, and everyday conveniences of nearby Paonia just a short drive down the valley.
