Owner Description

Why the Owner Chose Ridgway

My wife and I first came to Ridgway in 1999. As a native of Colorado and having traveled extensively in the USA, we came to realize that the Ridgway valley is one of the most stunning and beautiful places in the USA. Beautiful mountain views, friendly people, lots of outdoor activities from boating on the local state reservoir, to hiking, jeeping, backpacking, rafting, fishing, skiing, mountain biking, horseback riding, shopping in nearby Ouray or Telluride and soaking in the local hot springs. The options are endless. Our Townhouse is a cozy, Sante Fe style adobe and log structure, with lots of sun, flowers, and a nice yard. It is only a 4 block walk to the local market, town park, and many restaurants. There are new tennis courts, soccer fields and a skateboard park only 5 minutes walk away. This property is located in a quiet residential area on the south side of town. Perfect for a quite get-away for 2 or a family vacation. Pets are welcome with an additional pet deposit. Pets must accompany owners at all times. It is a smoke free environment.
