The Wrightsman House (formerly Wrightsman Hotel), at 209 Bauer Avenue in Mancos, Colorado, was built in 1903 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, alongside three contributing buildings.[1]

Wrightsman is a two-and-a-half-storey eclectic stone house amidst a wide area of lawn and mature trees. It is built of quarried sandstone from foothills to the southwest of Mancos which were also used in the Mancos High School (1909).[2]

Built as a residence and hospital, a hotel by 1917 and converted to a bed and breakfast in 1995, it shares the Historic Place designation with a carriage house and outhouse.[2]
