About this property
Ouray Penthouse Suite New & Quiet Best 360 Views! Pristine Clean Private Garage
This gorgeous penthouse suite 1000 sq ft + is located on the top third floor of the Ouray Alchemist building in the heart of town. Bi-directional pleated shades offer the excellent combination of breathtaking 360 degree surrounding mountain views with just the right amount of privacy desired. It is the perfect romantic haven for enjoying the numerous activities in the adventurous Ouray area.
There is a 400 sq ft deck that gives you private views of the Chief Ouray Mine, Cascade Falls, the Amphitheater and Twin Peaks. In addition there is a small breakfast balcony facing Main Street with a giant Douglas fir just to the south providing shade and privacy to those who want to see what is going on around town.
The Ouray Alchemist is a long-time project for Curtis and Nancy. Curt has been collecting pharmacy artifacts for many years. The commercial space features a historical collection of pharmacy memorabilia dating back to 350 BC. The collection is a tribute to the history of pharmacy, containing many hand-blown label-under-glass bottles with the original drugs (herbs and roots) with an emphasis toward Colorado pharmacy history (such as the oldest written prescription in Colorado). It is a memorable tribute to pharmacy worth seeing during your stay. Pharmacists Curt and Nancy will do the best to make your visit well worth it. The Ouray Alchemist, what we call our retail area and museum, has been featured on the cover of Bottles and Extras. We also have an article written about us in GV Magazine. This stands for Grand Valley and is mainly distributed around the Grand Junction area. Grand Junction is just a two hour drive from Ouray.
The Ouray Alchemist building is unique to the Ouray area. It was newly built/completed in 2011. Enjoy the whimsical finial portraying the sun, moon and stars. The gargoyles positioned on the four corners of the copper-domed tower by tradition offer "protection and happiness" to those who enjoy this incredible suite. Maximum of two adults. No children. Not available to rent to throw parties/ have events.

The location was great to hiking, kayaking and walking around town. Having a garage to park in was nice . Everything was very clean. The only negative was there are no shades in the master bedroom upper windows. The view is spectacular but If you like or are used to a dark room you will be getting woke up when the sun comes up. It is bright.

Thank you for your review! I provide disposable sleep masks. They are in the bedside tables on both sides of the bed. The windows do face east but the sun has to come up over the Amphitheatre Mountains before it is seen. Sunrise is not seen on the horizon like at sea level. However I certainly do appreciate your input. The windows have blinds on the lower windows which are about six feet tall. We had them custom-made. I will contact the business that provided the blinds for us and see if getting additional blinds for the higher upper curved windows is a possibility. I appreciate your input. Thank you! Nancy
Absolutely fantastic stay in Ouray! Location was perfect, nestled between the mountain range with spectacular views on both decks. Walking distance to the trail system, hot springs, anything you could want, I didn't have to get in the rental car once. Perfect hosting, I could not have asked for a more relaxing, peaceful stay!

I wish I could take credit for the snow, but that is Mother Nature's work. It is so beautiful with fresh snow on the peaks along with the fall colors! We are pleased that you enjoyed the penthouse. It is cozy with the in floor heating and spectacular views. We hope you will return again sometime!

Wonderful property and the owners we fantastic. Will definitely stay there again next time we are in Ouray.
Amazing! Loved our stay here and Nancy was so gracious. She has thought of everything you may need during your stay. We have never experienced a rental with such thoughtfulness to comfort! The location has exquisite views in super comfortable and impeccably clean accommodations. The convenience to everything in town is unmatched. Use of the enclosed garage was a huge asset! Highly recommend!

Thank you Amy! We would be thrilled to have you stay here again sometime in the future. We appreciate having renters like you who are so respectful. It is nice to have our building right in the heart of town close to everything. Centralized but still very private with the garage and gate access. Thank you for writing your review. Hope to see you again! Nancy
We had a great stay. The views of the surrounding mountains were outstanding. The place was clean, neat, well stocked, and Nancy was a terrific host. We would love to stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Nancy Haggar
Originally from the Midwest Curt and Nancy took different paths to Colorado before meeting in 2002 at Aspen Drug in Aspen CO. Pursuing his long-term dream of having a historic pharmacy collection exhibit led Curt to purchase fixtures to restore from Aspen Drug which was closing. Since all fixtures were for sale, Nancy having worked there over eleven years, was thrown in the deal...well, not really, but it makes a good story. We share a common passion for the history of pharmacy so it made sense that we would get better acquainted as time went by, marrying in 2006. Still married.
Why they chose this property
Ouray is called the Little Switzerland of America because of its unique dramatic alpine beauty. Surrounded by mountains it is the gem of the Rockies. We have never been to a more beautiful place. Curt was already living in Ouray when he met Nancy. There are outdoor activities here and nearby for every season. Skiing is close in Telluride and Silverton as well as Purgatory near Durango. Skiing is one of Nancy's passions. Ouray has inspired us to build this building and live out our dream. On the first floor is our commercial business that we call the Ouray Alchemist. Designed after an 1890's pharmacy with hickory hardwood floors and a tin ceiling, we feature antiques, jewelry, art, minerals, collectible currency and candy. The historic pharmacy museum behind the 1888 fully restored wall fixture is receiving rave reviews. With time there will be other fun things to come, like an old-fashioned soda fountain. Curt gives guided tours at 10 am and 1 pm on most days.
What makes this property unique
This clean comfortable and cozy suite in the heart of town is furnished with modern amenities intermingled with beautiful antiques and art. Make yourself at home! There is not a better view of the mountains anywhere else. Despite being right in the thick of things the large curved windows with the adjustable up or down shades, the large deck and separate balcony give optimum privacy. Snuggle up and sleep with a view of the moon coming up over the Amphitheater.
