We enjoyed our stay at the property. We got married on Wednesday 9/24 up on Yankee Boy Basin. My parents and our kids stayed with us. It was great. Only thing is the outside lights didn’t work. Made it hard to see when coming and going at night. Overall great place.

Check-in process was easy and provided all of the information needed. Kitchen facilities was clean and offered a lot of appliances and dishes which was great for our large group. Loved the antique dishes and silverware. Wi-Fi was sometimes spotty but that's normal for the area. We loved the deer that came on the property to say hello. Would love to stay there again!

We very much enjoyed our stay. The location of the property is perfect, it's quiet and very dark at night for viewing stars. The house worked well for our group, there was plenty of space, it was clean, there were lots of towels and the kitchen had everything we needed. The patio was nice with a great view and plenty of seating. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for an ice climbing group! Lots of sleeping arrangement options, plenty of space for parking, fantastic kitchen for group dinners. Hosts are super easy to communicate with about details. Perfect distance between Ouray Ice Park and Orvis Hot Springs!
Even though the home appeared to be a under going a bit of a face lift, it still checked all of our boxes . We will us it again next year for sure.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is older with a lot of DIY done to it. It was a great house for our large group. We had nine people stay - mostly guys. The downstairs living room made an excellent bedroom. It was unseasonably hot - high 80s every day. Fans were provided, but they didn’t help much. We opened all windows. Take a box fan if it’s going to be warm. The house was well supplied with towels, paper and dishes. It served our group well. We’ll stay here again because the price is great for what you get. Also, it is 8-10 minutes outside of Ouray.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay near Ridgeway. It was great to grill food and enjoy the deck space in the evenings in a quiet neighborhood. There is plenty of space for parking vehicles and trailers. The property is as pictured... like grandma's house that hasn't changed much since the 70's. It was nice to spread the group over 5 bedrooms and we had ample living space. Cell service was good upstairs. The WIFI was usable throughout the house and understandably slow (5mbps) considering the remote location. There aren't many locations that offer this much indoor and outdoor space near Ouray and certainly not at this price point.

It would be helpful to have a house number on the drive or house. We were not sure we were at the correct house.The house had everything that was listed, but there are 2 safety issues I'd suggest you look into. The hot water temperature is dangerously hot enough to scald someone, and I would hate a child to be seriously burned. The other thing was the stove had a hot burner in the morning after being off all night. I noticed because it was melting the egg carton.

Hi Trigg,
Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about the number of issues you encountered during your stay. The leak in the upstairs bathroom, cleanliness concerns, and multiple maintenance problems—especially with the internet, appliances, and security features—are all unacceptable and not the standard we aim to provide.
Your comments are being taken seriously, and we’ll be following up with our cleaning and maintenance teams to ensure each of these items is addressed promptly. Thank you bringing it to our attention so we can make improvements for future guests.

Family-Friendly rental great for multiple families
We were pleased with our stay here and didn't mind staying out of town a bit. It was nice to have extra space for the kids to run around and play, and we made the short drive to do the Box Canyon Falls hike and eat in town one day. Plus we got lots of fresh snow during our stay so they had a blast around the property. I've outlined some specific pros and cons, bu overall we had a great first to Ouray and would choose to stay here again!Pros: The size and layout of the house worked great for 2 families to hang out together! Beautiful artwork on the walls, comfortable beds and couches, and the gas fireplaces were very convenient. LOVED the sauna - I used it every night. We were impressed with the variety of kitchen utensils and cookware that was stocked in the kitchen and our kids enjoyed playing board games. It was clear that the owners put a lot of thought into this rental and making guests comfortable. There was a glued-together coaster & cracked glass lamp that our kids accidentally broke further but when we texted the owners, they were very understanding. Cons: On the surface the home was overall clean. However, we found lighters, trash and socks underneath a few of the beds. One of the carpet staples in the upstairs living area was loose and I stepped on it, deeply puncturing my foot. The owners were apologetic and asked if there was anything they could do. We threw away the staple and did not find anymore so no action was required.
