Quiet Rural Agricultural Town
Rocky Ford is nestled in the heart of the Arkansas River Valley in southeast Colorado, and is known as the "sweet melon capital of the world". You will enjoy our friendly little rural farming community. A place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Easy Highway Access Located right off of Highway 50, just 45 minutes to Pueblo and 10 minutes to La Junta, home of the world famous Koshare Indians. A half hour to historic Bents Old Fort on the Santa Fe Trail. Walking distance to several fine restaurants.

Locally Owned and Operated
Edna Maud Bohannon, affectionately known as "Lady," had no children of her own, however, she was a nanny to my grandmother and mother. Upon her death in 1956, "Lady" Bohannon bequeathed the guest house property to my grandmother, Virginia Pearl (Hull) Ellsaesser. The property has since been passed down to me, Deborah Anne DeGrado. I have chosen to convert it into a Guest House in memory of "Lady" Bohannon and my grandmother. It is my hope that it will be your "home away from home".
