Excellent stay! Very remote, peaceful, and beautiful. Large very nice rooms feels like you're staying with family. The hostess Sky is very nice and very helpful. Restaurant on location also. Local Hotspot they have bingo and little concerts and karaoke but are all wrapped up and quiet at 9pm. Highly recommend
Teri and Pat are amazing hosts! They make you feel at home. The property is well maintained and on a beautiful piece of property. The living space is absolutely perfect with everything you need plus more. We will be returning someday and will definitely try and rent here again.
A wonderful place to stay! We enjoyed the peace and serenity of this place. The wildlife was fascinating to watch through the big glass windows. Everything was very clean and inviting. We would love to come stay again!

We really enjoyed having Teddi and her daughter stay with us on their adventure together. We hope to see them both in the future to continue their exploring of the area.
Pat
Teri and Pat (the hosts) are simply wonderful people. My son and I stayed for 4 nights, and there wasn't a thing I would change about the property. It's very peaceful, and the apartment is beautiful. We participated in activities in Ouray, Ridgway, and Telluride, and the property is only a 5 minute drive to 550, so it's easy to hop on the main roads to get where you need to go. We would definitely stay again.

Karrie, you and your son were a complete pleasure for us to have as our guests. It was a joy to hear about your adventures and explorations while you were here. We'd love to have you back anytime and bring the rest of the family.
Beautiful location and friendly, helpful on site owners. Apartment is nicely decorated and perfect for a couple or small family. Located in a quiet area, not too far from Ridgway. Everything you would want for a mountain get away.

Terri and Pat were awesome. Beautiful location and very tranquil. If you are looking for peace and quiet in a scenic landscape this is the spot for you. I would definitely recommend.
Beautiful, peaceful property perfect for a getaway!
My friend and I met up here and had a lovely weekend. The property has been really lovingly renovated and furnished, is in a beautiful little spot that's close enough to town to make it an easy drive but far enough away to be able to soak in the nature. The kitchen is really nicely provisioned with everything you need to cook a lovely dinner as well!
Just a perfect spot with lovely hosts!!

Christen was such a pleasure to host. She is very friendly, appreciative, conscious, quiet and goes with the flow. We would love to have her and her friend back anytime. What a delight to have guests like that.
We spent a lovely weekend here in July 2023. Pat & Teri were so welcoming and the apartment was just right for us. A well-appointed kitchen and a relaxing view from the living room. We plan to return when we are back in the area.
Location is ideal to get both to Ouray and then over to Telluride (45 min drive). I thought the place was great, and Teri & Pat went out of their way to make me feel welcome. Thanks!

Better than advertised. We loved sitting on the sofa looking out the 3 floor to ceiling windows. Everything you need is there including a grill on your own little patio. The hosts are friendly and gracious.

We had a wonderful stay in Ridgway/Ouray. The guest apartment is beautiful, spacious and perfect for a trip to the beautiful mountains. Hiking is nearby and you can bike right out to the gravel roads to Ouray and Ridgway. Pat and Teri are wonderful hosts and do everything they can to ensure a great trip. Highly recommend.

The perfect guests. We look forward to having you again.
We loved our stay at Heart Quest! This property provided the best of both worlds; we were a short drive from town and stunning attractions then at the end of the day returned to this tranquil, well appointed apartment. Teri and Pat were gracious hosts and we are thankful for their warm hospitality. We look forward to returning.
Thank you Teri and Pat for your local recommendations and for sharing your home with us.
Heart Quest Retreat was just what my wife and I needed. For a couple, it had plenty of room and was very comfortable . The location was beautiful and and very convenient to access either Ridgeway or Ouray. Terri and Pat was very accommodating, gracious and respected our privacy. Thank you Terri and Pat for being wonderful hosts. When we visit this area again, Heart Quest will be our first choice.

It was our pleasure to have you and your wife. You guys were the perfect guests left it very clean, kind and respectful of our property and added some things to the pantry for others to use that we appreciated. We sure hope to see you and your ATV's again next year.

This apartment is so clean and welcoming. The owners are extremely nice and personable. Bed is comfortable and also the pullout daybed was perfect for our kids. It really was the perfect place for our family to stay. Lots of food/condiments/coffee for use. Water pressure in shower was great. Nice sitting area outside to enjoy the beautiful view and weather. We will be staying here again if we come to the area.

Your family is welcome here anytime. Thank you for staying with us.
If ou don't desire a nicely furnished, peaceful, convenient location you shouldn't book this place. Further, another couple of reasons why you shouldn't book this place is the owners are so nice and easy to work with, and the view of the valley is breathtaking. So in concluding this review, any normal visitor has got to be crazy not to stay here.

Dennis,
We got a kick out of your review. Wished we could have been filled in on your fishing stories before you left. Hope to see you back here someday. Keep up your humor the world needs it.
Pat and Teri
This property is situated in an absolutely serene location: amid mountain views with complete privacy, seclusion and BLISSFUL QUIET.
The apartment is spotless, and is even prettier than the very accurate photos. It is also fully equipped with both necessities as well as TREATS!
The location is so convenient to both Ridgway and Ouray restaurants, bars, and markets. The drive to Telluride is about 45 minutes, scenic, and best done in daylight.
While enjoying wine on the sweet patio, we enjoyed a visit from some turkeys. Seriously: real turkeys!
Overall this is an amazingly great vacation home in an amazingly beautiful setting.

Teri and Pat
We really enjoyed our stay in Pat and Teri's apartment! It was perfect for us and certainly met it's 10.0 VRBO rating from other guests. It was very well equipped with everything we needed, and the furnishings were very nice and comfortable. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and some chocolates. Nice touch! The communication with the hosts was excellent, before and during the rental. We had an issue with one of the appliances, but Pat & Teri handled it swiftly and made sure we weren't inconvenienced. We used the apartment as a base for hiking in Ouray, Telluride, and Silverton, just short drives away. We also enjoyed the town of Ridgway, especially the Floating Lotus Brewery and True Grit Cafe. Pat and Teri are both very nice people, and we really enjoyed our chats with them. We stay in a lot of short-term vacation rentals and this one is a true gem. If we come back to this area, we will certainly try to stay here again. Thanks again for your hospitality, Pat and Teri!
Pat and Teri have a beautiful rental with lots of natural light, a well stocked kitchen, comfortable queen bed, and a beautiful setting. Staying in Ridgway gave us access to Ouray and Telluride and their place is outside of the city, with a multitude of wildlife sightings. If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay, this is it! Pat and Teri are full of knowledge about the area, if you want suggestions and are also very respectful of giving space as well. Thanks so much for offering such a beautiful place for us to enjoy!
