This is an amazing location. The house was very clean and had all the essentials. The deck was perfect and where we spent our time when we weren’t hiking. The host was very responsive and helpful. We also received a visit from a cute little bear. I plan to make this an annual trip!

We had a wonderful week in this mountain getaway home. We even got to see a bear in our driveway one evening, and deer on multiple occasions. The sound of the creek right outside was like music to our ears. We got the best sleep ever listening to the rush of the water, and the beds were super comfortable. There were plenty of towels and the kitchen was well stocked. The scenery surrounding the cabin and Ouray in general was astounding, and multiple hiking trails were within walking distance. We look forward to coming back and staying here again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a memorable week in the mountain getaway and were able to enjoy the incredible wildlife and natural surroundings—what an experience to see a bear and deer right nearby!
It’s great to know you found the creek so peaceful, slept well, and felt comfortable with the beds and amenities. We’re also glad the kitchen and supplies met your needs and that you were able to take advantage of the nearby hiking and scenery around Ouray.
We truly appreciate your kind words and would be absolutely delighted to host you again on your next mountain escape!
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!!

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.

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.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear the home was a perfect spot for celebrating a 70th birthday and Mother’s Day—it’s wonderful that your family had everything you needed and enjoyed the special touches. We're especially glad the kids had fun at the creek! We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime.
Beautiful house with awesome decks and a beautiful river and water fall flowing right in front. Love that the house was nestled up on the hill and private.
I wanted remote location, and this place certainly is, yet super close to town. What amazed me was the everchanging snow melt river, constantly changing the landscape throughout our stay. The property managers were always communicative throughout our stay.
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!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so delighted that you folks enjoyed your time in Ouray and enjoyed the home so much! It truly is a special place!
Our stay was absolutely amazing. Me and my famiky had a balst and made lots of memories. Your property was amazing and very comfortable and relaxing. My 13 year old son loved playing in the river, and us adults love being by the fire and listening ti the river. I left a thank you gift on the kitchen counter
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.

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.

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!
