Why the Owner Chose Ridgway
I chose the charming town of Ridgway specifically for its rich history, breath-taking mountain views and old-world feeling. Horse drawn carriages are still seen frequently carrying locals and visitors through town. John Wayne once walked these streets and the feeling of being in a western movie backdrop is still evident everywhere you look. Old western charm combine with new brew pubs and restaurants to provide the best of both worlds.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Sitting on the front porch, you can view the Cimarron mountain range to the east and the Sneffel mountain range to the south. Large, mature alder trees border the front yard and provide a cool breeze throughout the summer months. A real landmark in downtown Ridgway, neighbors and tourists alike stop for a quick chat at the picket fence. Be a part of history, even for a week!
Some of the oldest Alder trees provide a canopy for the Ridgway Town Park, a designated historic site. Location of arts and crafts fair, playground, brew fests, river fests, post office, and True Grit

Owner's Map of Ridgway
Dee was a Telluride veteran when she purchased this very special property in Downtown Ridgway, Colorado in the early 1990's. A Texan who relocated to Colorado in mid 1970's, Dee has hosted parties for locals and tourists alike in her home. Convenient, central location of her Queene Anne victorian has provided her friends, families and new acquaintances a place they have also learned to call "home". ITS GOT GOOD JUJU! Dee has lovingly restored this beautiful property which was once home to Marie Scott's family-a local legend. The tradition is carried on. Come and enjoy a piece of western history in the San Juan Mountains!
