We had an amazing three weeks in New Castle, Colorado. The Ore House Inn was the perfect location for us, close to friends and family in the Rifle/Silt area & the fun attractions in Glenwood Springs. John and Cori are exceptional hosts. They often checked in to see if we needed anything. I liked the accommodations and the conveniences they have at the property, especially the coin machine in the laundry room. They also have a cart with a plethora of supplies that you may need during your stay. This was our first time staying here, but we would love to come back as many times as we travel to Colorado! 10/10!!!! Loved our trip and stay at this well kept building!

Impressive Location, Comfy Accommodations

Great communication before and during our stay! It was great to find somewhere dog friendly in the cute little downtown area of New Castle! We thought we'd spend more time in Glenwood Springs than we did - New Castle ended up having great food options, and lots of fun places to explore and walk around. We'll be back for sure, thanks for a lovely experience!

My other half and our dog stayed here for Christmas. It was all around awesome. The owner was great and helped us figure out which way to get there from CO Springs. The room was better than expected. We had an awesome time and will be back to see the other rooms! The restaurant downstairs is really good too. Thank you!

Great stay

Nice, comfortable unit with great amenities and was super clean for us! The Roku TV was convenient for us since it's what we use at home. The restaurant has delicious food with friendly and helpful staff. Big surprise bonus - there is a dog bathing room that is just across the hall from Area 51! Overall, we really liked our stay here and highly recommend!

Perfect for any art enthusiast

We were lucky enought to come a day early and was able to experience two rooms. One was the Iceberg Lounge and the other was Area 51. Both rooms had had great art work thru out A/C and full kitchens with eveythung you could need. Only conplaint is that we left shower stuff in the bathroom and my full size bottles of shampoo and body wash were thrown away and our luffa were left in the floor in the hallway infront of our new suite. Pretty gross. Had to go replace salon shampoo and all natural body wash in the middle of our vacation was a pain.

Great owners and fun themes

The property owners are really nice and super helpful. The unique themes make the stay fun! It is in an old building so the walls/windows are a bit thin so you can hear a lot. We turned on the fan which really helped with the noise. Overall a great stay!

We decided to rent one of John's VRBO units for a long weekend while we were visiting Glenwood Springs. We very much enjoyed our stay. The owner was personable and accommodating. The food at the restaurant downstairs was great as well. 5 stars. Thanks for having us John.

The best!

This was by far one of the best properties to rent around the area. It was full of the aesthetic of an Area 51 themed room! We were amazed. The room was comfortable and we weren’t bothered. It had a restaurant underneath and everyone was super great! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you for allowing us the pleasure!

5 HUGE STARS to AREA 51!!!

This place was absolutely amazing, clean and easy to find. The owner was very inviting and checked-in with me throughout our stay. The unit was conveniently located right above a restaurant which was nice to grab dinner. I plan to visit again and book @ The Ore House Inn but try another one of the theme rooms. Overall, it was a great experience!
