Kelly Place Bed & Breakfast
-
The seasons bring their own unique colors to Kelly Place's 40 acre estate. In addition to red rock canyons and spectacular mountain views, the fruit trees and garden areas welcome our visitors with spring blossoms, summer fruit, autumn gold and (sometimes!) winter white.
There are 7 rooms in the lodge, all with queen beds and baths in the room. The family-size room also has 2 sets of bunkbeds. Basic and medium lodge rooms have one set of bunks.
The adobe-style lodge was built in the mid-60's by pioneer horticulturist George Kelly as his retirement home. Kiva-style fireplaces, a comfy library/lounge and an enclosed flagstone courtyard offer the perfect setting for relaxation and chatting about the day's activities.
The deluxe cabin has a queen bed, daybed, trundle and a rollaway. It has a wood-burning fireplace, a kitchenette, an enclosed flagstone courtyard with firepit and charcoal grill, and a full bathroom with whirlpool tub. It is perfect for a romantic weekend or an extended stay.
The view of nearby Sleeping Ute Mountain from the lodge courtyard is a constant reminder of the beauty and majesty of our Mother Earth. The mountain's peak is nearly 10,000 ft. Kelly Place is situated in McElmo Canyon at an elevation of 5,480 ft. Temperatures here tend to be about 5 degrees warmer than in Cortez.
The duplex cabins are located near the entrance to a small canyon which offers access into Canyons of the Ancients National Monument from Kelly Place.
Explore the on-site Ancestral Puebloan ruins with a self-guided tourbook. Descend into a fully restored kiva and wonder about those who lived here a thousand years ago.
The 2 duplex cabins also have a queen bed and full bath in each, plus kitchenette and a fantastic view of the redrock cliffs.
The deluxe lodge room has more space, more windows, and more mirrors than the other lodge rooms. It also has a private covered balcony overlooking the courtyard.

Relax in an adobe-style lodge or cabins, nestled between sculpted red-rock canyons and majestic Sleeping Ute Mountain. Fruit trees and gardens, prehistoric Indian ruins in various stages of archaeological excavation, and the amazing natural beauty of this “oasis on the edge of the desert” provide a unique setting for your visit. A self-guided tour of on-site ruins or an archaeologist-guided hike into Canyons of the Ancients National Monument on our northern border will leave you wondering about what it was like here a thousand years ago. Enjoy our relaxed southwestern hospitality on this secluded 40-acre estate.

The breakfast was Great! Everyday there was something different from blue corn pancakes to creative egg dishes. Staple items like homemade granola. The hosts were informative and interesting to talk to. The atmoshpere is peaceful, roomy and relaxing. Cool stuff to see. We'll be back. Mike b

September 08, 2012
Our room #6 was very warm and we had difficulty cooling it down at night. However, it was very charming and clean. I loved the ambiance of the patio and we ate a delicious breakfast each morning on it. The surrounding landscape was beautiful and very serene particularly in the early morning. Marc was always full of ideas as to what one could visit in the area.

We spent 4 nights at Kelly Place and it is never enough. Wonderful location in the canyon, adjacent to Canyon of the Ancients. We'll definitely stay there again.

Kelly Place is situated in a very quiet and serene area of Cortez. My husband and son and daughter-in-law spent two nights in their two bedroom suite. Very nice room for two couples. You share a kitchen and living room which is very nice for visiting. Best part was the covered porch that had a BBQ grill (unfortunatley only the rotisserie part of the grill worked, so it took some creative cooking to grill the steaks!) Bet a very relaxing and beautiful location. We would definitely stay again.

Room below average. Room smaller than anticipated. Cooling unit did not work properly. Bed and pillows were too firm. plates and glasses very cheap. Good things: Food was good and local Kiva was exceptional.

Although the room and service was a little disappointing, the Kelly Place is still an unusual and lovely spot. Hiking trails behind the house and interesting visitors made our stay interesting. Some rooms way better, too.
4.0 out of 5Rejuvenate and relax -who needs a spa day!
November 16, 2008
I've visited Kelly Place several times over the past few years, and I have already made reservations for next spring. It is a destination in and of itself, very serene, spiritual and rich with history, there's no limit of things to discover. If you are accustomed to more posh accomodations, then spend the extra and get one of the cabins, especially the deluxe cabin which is set apart with it's own patio and very spacious. It's great to have one of the rooms with a kitchenette if you are staying awhile and don't want to go to Cortez for dinner everyday. If you are looking for a comfortable place to rest and don't need the "extras," the lodge rooms are great! So here is the reason to visit - explore! First check out the self guided tour - the kiva's are incredible - and watch your step so you don't break any potsherds. Then hike into the Canyons of the Ancients to discover ruins one after another, then hike Sand Canyon (WOW!), then go to Hovenweep, then Mesa Verde if you still haven't had enough. But by then, you'll find the crowds at Mesa Verde to be kind of annoying. Anyway, once you come here, you will get it. Oh yeah, you get a really good breakfast too...
