You absolutely need a 4 wheel drive car if there is going to be any inclement weather during your stay. Getting up to the property could be stressful for people who are not used to navigating 1 car wide steep gravel roads with a hair pin turn. Overall the house was so cozy and inviting. There is a great fireplace in the living room, the sound of the creek in the back yard and a nice big kitchen. Bedding and decor could be updated for the price but it did not make my stay any less enjoyable. I saw deer wandering in the backyard which was AWESOME! I would definitely recommend this mountain cabin for your Ouray vacation!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay here very much. The house was clean and well stocked, but it was the location that we loved the most. Not only is the cabin itself in a beautiful part of town, overlooking the creek, with gorgeous views, but it is within walking distance to popular hiking trails. We'll be back.

Birthday and Mother's Day Getaway

This house was a wonderful place to celebrate a 70th birthday and Mother's Day. It was very clean and had all we needed. The property manager delivered a special local treat for the birthday girl on arrival. The creek was loud and fun for my 7 and 3 year old to play in. This was a great getaway and we would recommend it to everyone.

Beautiful mountain side cabin

The cabin was very welcoming and roomy. Within 2 minute drive down you're right on the main strip in Ouray. Very nice neighbor. The stream right next to the cabin was great background noise throughout the stay. The firepit out back is equipped well and a very nice relaxing area. The decks were spacious and even had little dog gates which was great! Overall wonderful stay in a lovely cabin for families!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a phenomenal stay at this house! The “creek” was more like a river from the recent rains, we slept with the windows cracked open (it was cold!) and between the rushing river sound and the chilly air we all had the absolute best sleep of our lives. We spent every evening with a campfire in the fire pit, town is just a few minutes drive away (or walk if you’re in shape). The trail to box canyon falls is just a 2 minute walk from the house, we enjoyed that very much as well! Overall highly recommend.

Great Home in Ouray

We had my wife and myself, 2 teenagers and my parents. Everyone thought the house was great. This house is in the foothills in Ouray and has two nice decks overlooking the stream below. It isn’t air conditioned but stayed cool even in the 90 degree heat! We loved how close it was to the perimeter trail and Box Canyon. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Enjoyed using the brand new gas grill as well.

Such a beautiful location with a waterfall just right outside the door! A friendly neighbor nearby informed us that a flash flood that happened recently made the waterfall even bigger and the sound outside our door because of it was a dream. I truly didn’t want to leave the patio! Patio heater, grill and a fireplace below made the outdoor experience wonderful. In better words- this stay was beyond our expectations! Thank you so much for having us!

80th birthday vacation rental retreat.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Came back to Ouray where my late husband and I lived in the 1990s. The house was high in the mountains on the west side of town and good thing I had all wheel drive and knew how to use gears to slow car. There is one sharp turn (called a switchback in mountain driving). Enjoyed the stay very much as the setting was quiet away from the noise in town. Scenery outstanding.
