Bed
& Breakfast
Retreat
Center

An
archaeological preserve in beautiful
McElmo
Canyon
Kelly Place
is both an outdoor educational center and unique bed and breakfast
located in the heart of the Four Corners, just 10 miles west of
Cortez, Colorado, nestled between the red-rock canyons and
majestic Sleeping Ute Mountain. In the 1960's George and Sue
Kelly, horticulturists from the Denver area, built the current
lodge as their retirement home and created an "oasis on the
edge of the desert" with orchards, gardens, and courtyards
among ancient Indian ruins.
Your
hosts, Marc Yaxley and Jerene Waite, wish to share this oasis and
provide an enjoyable and educational experience for all their
guests.
There are
over 25
documented prehistoric Indian
sites
on the 40-acre
estate. Guests may follow a se lf-guided
tour to any of these.
Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, with the highest
density of Ancestral Puebloan ("cliff-dweller") sites,
borders Kelly Place to the north. Guests may choose to hike into
the sculpted red-rock canyons and mesas located just "out our
back door".
