In May we took our second motorcycle trip to Ouray, CO. And for the second time we stayed in the Spangler House B&B. We stay in B&Bs across the nation and rand the Spangler at the top of our inn experiences. Everything from the amazing mountian view to the breakfasts and even down to the adorable Jack Russell terriers was just wonderful. You have look far and wide to find hosts as gracious as Steve and Jill.

I recently spent some time at the Spangler House, and I was very impressed. In fact, it was the highlight of a 7-day trip through southwest Colorado. The hosts are fabulous; we felt right at home. The house and rooms were spacious. There was plenty of room for relaxing after a long day of seeing the sights. Breakfast was great -french toast, fresh fruit, coffee, juice.

Having stayed at dozens of bed & breakfasts, this place certainly rates in my favorite top three.

In July we stayed at the Spangler House for the second time. This time we were travelling with another couple. It was like staying with old friends. Jill and Steven do an excellent job. The rooms are comfortable and the common areas perfect for relaxingl. The 2 men of our group were heading out early for a 4 wheel drive adventure. Steve made sure they knew how to turn on the coffee pot (in addition coffee was available in the rooms). He also had muffins out that he had baked the night before, cereal and fruit. The ladies enjoyed breakfast at 8:30. There is a refrigerator in the kitchen stocked with pop, juices and bottled water for the guests and snacks out also. The 2 resident dogs were no problem and we had been reminded about them when we made the reservation. The entire B and B is spotless. We really enjoyed ourselves.

We enjoyed a good meal and good music at The Outlaw restaurant on main street. Driving on Hwy 550, the million dollar highway is quite an experince. Fantastic scenery.

Jill and Steven are the perfect couple to run a B&B! The place was spotlessly clean and there are plenty of common areas for reading, playing board games, or just sitting. You never feel like you must "go to your room"! The 2 little dogs are friendly and do what they are told. Being a major foodie, Steven's breakfasts are THE BEST! Too bad he is married...breakfast in bed would be awesome. Lucky Jill. They will also accommodate vegetarians or low-sodium or whatever...just tell them ahead of time. I would definitley recommend this B&B!
