Great little gem!
We enjoyed just about everything here. Great breakfast, unique, clean and comfortable. Great wifi(Starlink). The only thing that could make it perfect is darker or blackout curtains.

Wonderful Small Town Accommodations
I've stayed here multiple times and love it. Great service and hospitality, yummy breakfast, a home away from home, comfy, amazing location, and the building itself is a historic treasure. Definitely will stay again!

Nice property and very clean. However, the queen mattress needs to be replaced. It is very soft and has a huge ident in the middle. Worse night of sleep for my wife and I in years.

Wonderful and historic decor - a cozy gathering room with a wood burning fireplace tended to by Andrew the host/owner. Communication about breakfast needs for each morning - whether I wanted it at 7:00 or 9am always accommodating. The ceilings in the guest rooms are at least 12 feet high with views of the surrounding area. Just a relaxing and charming place!

It was perfect! The breakfast was amazing, the view from our room was spectacular! We even got bumped up to a bigger room because they weren't as busy! And for being an older building it was immaculately clean!

The service was truly great and the room was very clean especially considering the covid virus situation. We did not have a problem but some may have a problem with the steep and long stairs up to the upper floor.

If you want to stay someplace cheaper than what is available in Telluride but is still fairly close, go to the Rico Mine Shaft Inn. The couple taking care of it fix a good breakfast, which is a part of the price paid. Just be prepared to climb stairs!

Great little Bed N Breakfast Hotel
The hotel is great for folks traveling to Telluride. We stayed for a week. At first, we were apprehensive because of the 1/2 to 45-minute drive to Mountain Village/Telluride. However, after making the drive, we were very glad we did. Driving the San Juan Skyway to and from Mountain Village and Telluride every day was beyond words beautiful. The surrounding mountains are majestic when covered in snow and one can only imagine what they would be like in summer. We loved the place. The hotel was originally built in the 1800s and has been put to a variety of uses over the years. The hoteliers were very friendly and accommodating and the place is beautifully decorated in antique style. Andrew helped us bring our bags upstairs when we arrived and he and Jordan took turns setting up a nice breakfast each morning. The mountain views were great from our window and from the kitchen and sitting room. Our kids enjoyed all the board games and my wife really appreciated the kitchen. We played a friendly game of chess and I won. I'd definitely recommend staying here if you are the type of person who wants to visit the area but doesn't want to spend 40k on your vacation.
