The location and views from the property were hard to imagine. And lots of wildlife.Inside was just as shown in the pictures. Everything worked well and property manager was very responsive.Could use a little decluttering but this was not a problem.

We love Ouray! This house is great! The driveway is not trailer friendly….so heads up if you are bringing side by sides. Finding a house with A/C was a plus!

This beautiful mountain home with incredible views is an easy drive to either Ouray or Ridgeway, and we had a fantastic time adventuring around the area. The home had more than enough room for our family of five, and the kitchen was well-stocked with utensils and spices. The back deck is lovely for watching deer and hummingbirds, and the lawn/garden area is impeccable. The home’s decor is an eclectic blend of southwestern upholstery, Native American art and trophy mounts (it took our kids a bit to warm up to the unique decor). To echo another review, you really feel the owner’s presence in this home, as a couple of Amazon packages arrived during our stay. Overall is was a nice base camp for our nearby mountain adventures.

Lovely well-decorated home in a great neighborhood

I loved the house, location, and decor. It was perfect for our group. My only gripes were that the WiFi never worked (I texted the automated # that checks in on you and never heard back), the steep driveway and patios weren’t plowed or maintained, we couldn’t get the fan in the top bedroom to turn on which made it very warm, and the amenities list garage parking which was in fact not the case. Overall I still found the property to be nice and a good value.

Wonderful views and cozy home

We loved the property and the location. We appreciated the fully stocked kitchen (though fridge did not work) and access to the back deck with the fire pit. It was wonderful to see all of the wildlife wander through the yard.

Beautiful home, great for families.

This home is located between Ouray and Ridgeway making both easy to access. The home is lovely and has everything you need. Deer walk right up to the backyard salt lick. The views of the mountains are amazing. My kids have asked to come back to this home for a whole week.

Lovely setting and comfortable house

This house was very well appointed and comfortable for our family. We certainly had everything we needed. It is the home of people of a life well lived with very interesting books and artifacts. You might need a PhD to run the television but we did just fine streaming. Lovely wildlife in a beautiful place.

Family Vaca

The property was great for family and it was a good location as a homebase for our day trips. Ouray is a great little town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our granddaughter especially enjoyed watching the deer in the yard and the hummingbirds on the back deck.

Beautiful Area

We could have spent the entire time on the deck. The surrounding area was gorgeous and the night sky was full of stars. We saw quite a few shooting stars. Close to a lot of Jeep trails that we were running too.

The house is very well located and so comfortable.

We were in town for a long weekend of jeeping and enjoyed coming home for a relaxing evening at this house. It was fully stocked with every kitchen utensil you need for a gourmet meal. Beds pretty firm, and you'll love watching the wildlife from the deck!
