The house sleeps four to seven people and is the perfect retreat for couples and families.
Take in the majestic beauty of the Rocky Mountains by foot, by 4WD jeep or just from the front porch.

Every season in Ouray has something to offer, however the fall seems to be a well kept secret. The Aspens and Oak brush fall color change set amidst the Colorado Rockies with dotted timber building remnants of the mining days of this area, make this time of year a spectacular visual feast for travelers that are looking for undiscovered travel delights.

We thoroughly enjoyed this lovely restored 1880's Victorian Home!
We loved the character and charm of the Cartier House. It is perfectly located just a block away and an easy walk to main street Ouray. The inside of the house was a very comfortable size for all of us. It was well appointed with all the items we needed. We really appreciated the fenced yard and baby gates that kept our 19 month grandson out of trouble! We only have two suggestions for the owners. The plates and mugs are getting very chipped and cracked and could be replaced. The plates were especially annoying because they have a downward slope to them and the food slides off the plates. Also, it was very hard to cook with the old, non-Teflon coated pots and pans. We spent way too much time trying to clean food off them. They too could be replaced. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house and would definitely rent the Cartier House again! Thank you for a very pleasant stay in Ouray!!
P.S. We did have an issue with an overflow of garbage in the shed from previous renters, but I've already addressed that issue with the property manager.
Love this old house. The family had a great time and plenty of room for all.
If you book this place for late July. Please make it known that it is monsoon weather during this time. For most part, your still able to get out and about for what ever interest you. Many places to drive to for siteseeing or hiking. This was our third time rented this beauty and we noticed that it needs some TLC. Front porch swing you shouldn't sit on because the main post is rotting from rain. Window on the south side , I believe has some water damage so that needs attention. Rose bush need some trimming as well as the tree in the backyard. Branches get caught in the window when closing. The inside of the house is looking great and we all enjoyed the comfort. This house is too pretty to not get some loving. We'll see you again in the future and who knows what family members will bring with us. Make sure you have extra apples and carrots on hand , the deer just love them and slowly and calm, they will let you feed them. What a pleasure it is to be able to feed these lovely animals. Thank you again. Had a great time in this ol' house.
Prettiest house in Ouray!
My husband, 4 year old son and I stayed here for 8 days in July and it was the perfect house for us. It was walking distance to the hot springs, hiking trails, shops and restaurants. It was fully stocked with linens and kitchen supplies. The house itself is an extremely charming Victorian that feels cozy and homey. Everything was clean and very well cared for. The house could easily accommodate a larger group, maybe up to 7 people. The views from every window are breathtaking; you can literally see mountains from anywhere you sit in the house. The only negative was having to leave! We hope to return to Ouray and the Cartier house in the future.
AMAZING!
Beautiful property within easy walk to the center of town. It couldn't have been more perfect. Will most definitely stay here again!
Charming home, quiet in the heart of Ouray
This charming Victorian was wonderfully close to everything this little town had to offer. The views from the side yard and (tiny) front porch of the surrounding peaks were inspiring. We were so glad we stayed right in town. The house was very comfortable and has a beautifully detailed interior with good kitchen. Gorgeous curving staircase could be an issue for someone with mobility issues. Highly recommend.
Wonderful Victorian House
We enjoyed our stay. The house is very nicely done. It was clean and as advertised. Hard to believe the original house is 130 years old! Kitchen was very nice. Just a block off main street but so much quieter. There were 3 of us so the one shower was fine but do keep that in mind if you have a large group. Also, the stairs to upstairs bedrooms are narrow and steep; take your time if you are older like us! All in all, a great stay!
