We had a wonderful stay at the "Hand Hotel", Bed and Breakfast, in Fairplay, CO. It is a very rustic and historically oriented establishment. It is intended to make you feel like you are living in that period of time. The rooms are named after people, places and occupations. Ours was " the Outlaws", which had wood panelling, plaid bed...

I was in the Trapper's room and enjoyed my stay. The bathroom is newly remodeled and modern, with the bedroom itself was rustic. I stayed in November, and in the evenings a large fire was in the lobby. As others have mentioned, there is no TV (in the rooms or otherwise) - but the quietness and views are nice. The... More

The Hand Hotel is not to be missed! It's loaded with authentic Western charm from the moment you walk in from the boardwalk sidewalk--immense native rock fireplace with elk's head, a front desk that looks like it might have been the bar in a frontier saloon, comfy leather couches... There's a sun-room at the back that offers stunning views. And... More

There are positives at this hotel but the negative of the poor customer service outweighs those. On the plus side, the hotel is quaint, very clean and the bathrooms were surprisingly modern. Our room was fairly small; I wouldn't have wanted to stay more than a night or two as there was nowhere to put suitcases and almost nowhere to... More

The hotel was built in the 1930's when Fairplay was a boom town. It's a lovely old wooden building straight out of a western film and all the rooms are decorated to a theme. We stayed in "Silverheels" the town tart (I think!). The room - and the whole hotel - was beautifully clean with lots of little attentions to... More

We discovered this hotel while out on a self-guided and self-supported bicycle tour in June/July of 2010. We came into Fairplay from the East and this part of town wasn’t immediately noticed but the owner of the nice little sandwich shop that we stopped in on for lunch recommended the Hand Hotel. We highly recommend it now as well, but... More

Our group was only here for one night, but we all loved the place. Very quaint hotel, with a beautiful back sitting room overlooking a river. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean, although no frills such as tv, phone, etc. I'm pretty sure there is no AC, so this could be a problem for some... More

My family recently discovered that our great-great grandfather was a pre-statehood homesteader in South Park, so we scheduled a family reunion. A cousin had previously stayed at the Hand and recommended it as our home base. We couldn't have been more pleased. The hotel is charming and squeaky (as most 80 year olds tend to be), and the utilities are... More
