The entire house was way bigger than we thought it would be. Bonus! Very comfortable, immaculate, we felt like we lived there - it was that wonderful. We really wanted to research the history of the house but could not find much info on it . We tried imagining all the stories under that roof. Convenient to dining, grocery, and close to all the sights in the San Juans, this was the ultimate base location that I could imagine. Did not want to leave and time passed by quickly, even though we spent 9 days there. Aspens were in peak, which is a must-see in late September. Ouray is right down the road - just look straight ahead as you're driving there haha. Telluride is good day trip or you can get there over Ophir Pass or Imogene Pass on a dual sport bike and be back in time for lunch at the Bent Elbow. The San Juan Historical Museum is mandatory! Do that on a rainy day (if there is one) and take your time. The artifacts and mining history is the largest collection I have even seen. Simply riveting. Do this if you can, you will not regret it. Silverton rocks and has that laid back feel where everyone is welcome it seems.
