Overview
Three acres with beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on the river, mountain views.
From the moment you enter, you see and feel the vibrance of the Uncompahgre River and the majesty of the 14 thousand foot peaks of the San Juan Mountains.
The house has an open floor plan allowing for great entertaining, with lots of natural light. Our home was completely remodeled two years ago. Attention to detail is apparent: the aspen tongue and groove ceiling, luxurious carpet, tile, fully equipped gourmet kitchen (including spices), travertine bathrooms with fabulous vanities and high end fixtures. There are four comfy recliners and two fireplaces. The upper, covered, wrap around Trex deck overlooks the river and is a peaceful place to relax. When you are on the lower, covered deck, off the master bedroom, you are 'at one' with the river. The grassy areas have multiple creeks that flow to the river. Paradise!

Nice house and Awesome Area
My family had a great time during our stay at this house. The house it set up very well and worked perfectly for a base camp for our vacation. Owners were extremely helpful with tips on the area. We did numerous day trips and found Ouray to be our favorite. We could have easily spent another week here as we could not get to all the wonderful activities available in the area. The only surprise to me was the amount of traffic on the main road and the fact that sitting on the decks you really heard a lot of road noise.
Fantastic Experience!
This property is exactly as pictured, but so very stunning in person. Comfortable furniture, beds, modern bathrooms and everything you'd need in the kitchen. If we had been traveling without children I think we'd have sat outside and listened to the river the whole time! But we had young ones and loved the fact that the deck was gated and there were no concerns about someone escaping to the river. That is much appreciated! This property would have been 5 star even if it had been deep in the woods. The icing on the cake was the grand location. Absolutely gorgeous. I recommend continuing up the road past the house for a beautiful drive right outside your door. Highlights for us this stay besides the house: Box Canyon Falls in Ouray, Million Dollar Highway, the free gondola in Telluride and the Durango Silverton Railroad was fantastic! The kids loved the Railroad Museum and swim beach right here in Ridgway. We will definitely be back!
Fantastic family vacation home that absolutely exceeded our expectations!
Cannot say enough great things about this home! We have been bringing our family to this part of Colorado for years. This has been our absolute favorite trip. Linda & Tom were terrific hosts that greeted us upon arrival and were extremely responsive when we had questions during our stay. Their hospitality was second to none! The home was beautiful, open, and had great mountain & river views with wonderful outdoor space. The location is perfect for visiting Ridgway, Ouray, Montrose, Silverton & Telluride. During our stay, we jeeped, hiked, fished, kayaked, grilled out and more. The sound of the rushing river was there to lull you to sleep & pleasantly greet you in the morning. This was simply a magical place!
Sweet Piece of Property!
Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay at Tom & Linda's! The house is located directly on the Uncompahgre River, so the master bedroom can hear the river. Our teenage boys even spent a night in the teepee, also listening to the river as they fell off to sleep. we liked being just outside of Ridgway, with easy access to town and only a scenic hour drive from Telluride. We ate several meals on the deck with both mountain and river views. Everyday, we took advantage of the paved trail ( just steps from the front door), going on walks or runs either toward the lake or toward town. There wasn't a thing we needed that wasn't readily available in the kitchen and house. Tom and Linda were welcoming and friendly and available to field questions. We would definitely stay here again on future trips to the area!!
Loved it!
We really enjoyed our stay in Ridgway and the house was very nice and comfortable. The home owners were wonderful and so very friendly. The house is close to many attractions and the river is amazing to sit by to relax after a day of adventures. Highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "A River Runs Through It" .
Linda and Toms home is beautifully furnished with very comfortable chairs. It has a great setting right by the river with river sounds and a really nice view. I especially enjoyed sitting on the decks in great chairs.
Linda and Tom were very accommodating and were just a phone call away to answer any questions we had. Thanks Linda and Tom for sharing your home.
