Best stay ever

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were the best and the property was just wonderful. Located on a working ranch outside Montrose it was scenic and quiet. It was also located within 10 minutes of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, and within an hour of Ouray and Telluride, two of the most scenic towns you’ll ever see.
