Our names are Ben & Sue Goudy. As young adults out of college, we moved across the country to begin our family, and raised four children. Due to Ben's extensive global travel, we wanted all four of our children to experience the USA before they to, would potentially travel the world. To allow them to experience this great country of ours, we set a goal to have all four of them experience all 50 states by the time they were 18. Luckily our careers facilitated this due to great vacation and sabbatical plans where we worked. All four of our kids, who are all adults now (with five, soon to be six kids of their own) reached the goal before their 19th birthday.
With our extensive travel, Ouray Colorado has been our favorite place in the US. We have been coming to Ouray since we accidentally stumbled upon it trying a "shortcut" from Phoenix to Missouri for a family wedding. That was in 1985. We were fortunate to buy a place in Ouray in 2020, and are happy to share this wonderful place with our guests.
