I refer to the master bedroom as a loft since does not have a door to close,but the only opening is the size of a door frame that faces away from the rest of living space, so t offer relative privacy. The master bedroom has a queen bed and a private bathroom with a clawfoot tube with a shower attachment. A private balcony facing east is accessed from the master bedroom. The balcony is a beautiful spot to enjoy breakfast or sit in the evenings. UNLIKE MANY OTHER VRBO LISTINGS IN OURAY,WE DO NOT CHARGE A SECURITY DEPOSIT OR PET FEE Tastefully decorated with a combination of the southwest and the Victorian style, this cozy, three-bedroom home with extra sleeping with a convertible sofa/bed in living room offers a great space to spend your time away from home. A favorite among the ice climbers, as it located within walking distance from the Ouray Ice Park. Keywords: Home

Was a nice place. Some simple inexpensive fixes would have made it a great place to stay. But for convenience and the length of time we were there it was fine.

This little house is one of the nicest we’ve ever stayed in—beautiful renovation, fully and generously stocked, very comfortable beds, sumptuous downstairs bathroom, kitchen had everything we needed and more. Darling loft with its own bathroom and great front porch shaded by big aspens. Located one block off Main St so nice and quiet but ez walk to all shops and restaurants. We esp enjoyed the big Hot Springs pools, the excellent bookstore, and Box Canon and Cascade Falls. Thanks for a perfect place to stay and premium Ouray experience. 5 Stars all the way!

We stayed here with 3 adults for 4 nights. We really loved the location and walked pretty much everywhere. We brought some extra toiletries just in case and needed more TP. The property was straightforward and needed some extra cleaning for my comfort which we completed after arrival. The shower downstairs was great. The tub in the loft didn’t work for us/ was not something we would use. The loft was very warm despite our best efforts to keep airflow moving. It could use a window AC unit. The area was quiet at night and peaceful. Overall, it was a good experience.

We had 2 couples and our 2 dogs. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy. Much better than a hotel and it's right in the heart of Ouray. Easy access to hiking the perimeter trail and walking to restaurants. Spent time on the front porch drinking wine at night and coffee in the morning. It is an old victorian home but has modern amenities. The bathroom upstairs has a nice claw foot tub, toilet and sink, but no shower, which was fine for our group (we all just used the modern shower downstairs). We very much enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Thanks to Carl for having a fine, pet-friendly property so close to "downtown" Ouray. My wife and I enjoyed our stay and will likely stay there again sometime.

The property description is pretty accurate, nice older home. We cooked several meals and had everything we needed. Also went out to Mi Mexico restaurant was very good. Enjoyed hiking and seeing water falls, also enjoyed hot springs pools. Spent some time on the front porch just relaxing!!!

We have been vacationing in Ouray since 1980. We have been renting this property every 2-3 years for about the past 15 years (since before the current owner, Kate, bought the property). That indicates that we love the property and the Property Manager and how the property is maintained. Great location (away from tourist crowds on Main Street, but close enough to walk to shops on Main Street). Always clean! Well stocked kitchen. Do your longer-term grocery shopping in Durango or Montrose. Nice neighbor on the south side. Nice that fairly new, dependable washer and dryer provided. This trip had trouble with leaky garbage disposal. One call to Carl (Property Manager). He asked one question about size of disposal and he replaced disposal while we were jeeping in the mountains that day. Property pictures on VRBO accurately show the facilities.
In the past, have delayed plans to travel to Ouray, because this property was not available (even though other properties were available during the time we wanted).
Would be glad to give a more detailed verbal reference if asked.

Loved the location. Walking distance to Main Street and close to shops and restaurants. Only complaint was the cable tv did not work. Had to log in to our Netflix in order to watch movies. Kitchen had everything we needed and the downstairs bathroom was nice. My son did complain about the front bedroom. The mattress was very uncomfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed the location, the place is dated but shows in the listing. We had a family of 4 so the 3 bedrooms was perfect although the listing said 4 bedrooms (4th is pullout in living room). We ran out of paper towels and trash bags and didn’t have any dish soap, but we survived and the property manager was responsive to help out. The DIRECTV was broken while we were there, not normally a big deal but we had to go out to watch the Nuggets playoff games which wasn’t ideal and added to expenses. All in all I would definitely stay there again.

We had a great time at our stay at this cozy house! The location is pretty much perfect - we could walk to Box Canyon and Cascade Falls trails, downtown shops and restaurants, and even the hot springs (though we did not walk back, brr!). We were a little disappointed to find that while the listing states there are three bedrooms, only ONE bedroom has a functioning door (the upstairs bedroom is more of a loft that has a curtain for privacy; the bed in one of the downstairs rooms is too big allow the door to close). That was a little bit of a bummer, as we were traveling with our kids and their grandparents, and a door is an essential feature of a bedroom! Also, unless you’re planning to take a bath, the upstairs bathroom is really more of a powder room - there is no shower. So, what we thought would be a 3 bed/2 bath rental was really more of a 1 bed/1.5 bath. We also felt like the property info in the property was pretty outdated - there were references to trash/recycling stuff that didn’t align with what we saw in the space. The 3-star cleanliness rating is because, while the property itself seemed pretty clean, all of the dishes were REALLY dirty - like lipstick stains on glasses/flatware. It was gross. We had to go buy dishwasher detergent because there wasn’t any and we couldn’t actually scrub the lipstick stains off the glasses! The prior guest had also left piles of dog poop in the back “yard” area and upstairs balcony. Pretty disgusting. We had our dog with us, and I will say it was a little tricky to make sure our dog was using the appropriate outside area - the houses are so close together! This is probably much easier to figure out in the summer. The same is true for parking - we had a hard time figuring out where we could park the two cars in our group due to piles of snow, trash bins, etc.
With all that said, we really enjoyed our stay and the house was otherwise perfect - lots of comfortable places for everyone to sit and hang out, and it was light and bright. And again, the location couldn’t have been better. We would definitely stay again.

We had a great time at this comfortably, cozy place in Ouray! We were a convenient walk from downtown and enjoyed the gorgeous views of the valley. We loved the remodeled bathroom and the upstairs loft. Our dogs enjoyed their stay as well! We would definitely stay here again.

Great layout and comfortable space for two couples and a pup. Kitchen was well stocked, fireplace perfect after a day outside. Stuff to note: beds are smallish Double/Queen but decently comfortable. Washer dryer worked, as did kitchen appliances. Second bathroom had a bathtub, but the shower on the first floor worked great. Parking out front for one vehicle, second space available to use next door. Would definitely stay again.

Great location walking distance from the ice park at a good price. The beds downstairs are a bit small for two people. The VRBO app had minimal information. It literally only had WiFi info, which was wrong, the address, lockbox code, and the manager’s phone number. I called the manager at 10:00PM and he called me right back! All necessary information, including the correct WiFi info, is written on the instruction sheet inside. Overall a great experience!

We really enjoyed our stay! We had 6 women on a girls trip for the ouray ice fest and the place exceeded our expectations. It was very cute and plenty of space for all 6 of us. The loft area feels very much like It’s own bedroom - very private. Only recommendation is we couldn’t find measuring cups, measuring spoons or glasses for wine so we had to improvise when cooking. Thanks for a great stay

We loved this house! The location was fantastic and the house was everything we wanted and more. Will definitely try to stay here again if we plan another trip to Ouray!

We had a great time coming in for some ice climbing. The house is roomier than we expected, and the place fit everyone (6 adults) and our gear easily. We could walk in to the Ice Park from the bottom (just under 3/4 miles to the chalet) and found it conveniently close to town/shops while also being quiet enough to let us rest. The kitchen had plenty of supplies, the beds were crazy soft, and the location is amazing!

This place had more than enough room for the four of us, was within walking distance from everything we wanted to do in town, was clean and stocked with necessary stuff... I want to go back!

The property is well located and overall comfortable for two people and a small pet. We only used the first floor. The unit was intended as a central point for touring the area so we did not spend a lot of time inside. The kitchen had all the utensils we needed.

We truly enjoyed our stay. We have stayed in Ouray many times and this was by far the best property. The location was perfect for getting downtown and hitting the trails. There was plenty of parking. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this property and hope to stay again in the future.

The house was great. The only problem is we had to replace the upstairs battery to the smoke alarm since it was beeping when we arrived.

We were so blessed to have stayed in such a cozy feels of a mountain home. It was wonderful to see this majestic area of colorado and then come home every evening to a warm fire place and cook family meals together in such a beautiful home.
I would however work on deep cleaning this place as we did have to re clean.
