Perfect
This was exactly what we were looking for.
Halfway between Ouray and Ridgeway for 4 wheeling, kayak and SUP. We had a place to park our trailer and not worry about anything. Quiet, peaceful and all the extras was wonderful.
Karen - We are so glad you enjoyed your stay here at the ranch. Thank you for this lovely five-star review. We hope to host you again sometime!
Map
Ridgway and Ouray both offer top-notch restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, events, shows, yoga classes, spas, hot springs, hiking trails leading to mining roads, old mines, and breathtaking views.
We are located 25 minutes from the trailhead to Mt. Sneffels, the closest 14er.
You can rent Jeeps and ATVs in Ouray. There are exceptional climbing and mountain biking options. Ouray even offers lessons in axe throwing, minutes from our ranch. You can also get to multiple lakes, waterfalls, and horseback riding in the wilderness.
For restaurants, we highly recommend Provisions and Eatery 66 in Ridgway. For best beer-drinking views, go to the Ouray Brewery rooftop.
Check out Bloom and Blue Pear boutiques in Ouray for gifts for yourself and others.
Devour delicious ice cream and homemade daily chocolates of all kinds at Mouse's in Ouray. Some of the best chocolates on this planet.
Try the coffee and tea at Provisions in Ridgway. The chai tea latte is delicious. Ridgway's Cimarron Coffee only offers oat cream, if you're into that. La Zona Calona is a great stop for coffee and pastries if headed north toward Montrose.
Coin-operated laundry facilities located a 6-minute drive away at Ouray RV Park and Cabins.
Ouray Hot Springs is great for children and families. It includes slides. Orvis Hot Springs is clothing optional and feels like a step back in time. It has pools of varying temperatures and gorgeous gardens. Wiesbaden Hot Springs Spa features a vapor caves and pools. Orvis offers massages. Elevate Wellness Spa in Ouray offers outstanding massages of all kinds, facials, yoga classes, and more.
Telluride is an hour-drive away and it hosts world-class festivals, events, and conferences. It has world-class skiing and restaurants. We highly recommend The Butcher, The Baker for fresh, local, farm-to-table meats, pastries, salads, meals, wines, cocktails, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We like Siam for Thai, Cosmopolitan for dinner (especially the chopped salmon salad and Kobe steak dinner), Ghost Town for coffee and chai tea lattes, Aemono for pizza, pasta, sandwiches, and salads. Stop by Wine Mine to pick up wine, beer, and spirits.
