Perfect location! Walkable to anything in town and great people watching from the balcony. Only minor downside was no AC - when we arrived the unit was at 79 degrees so we opened as many windows as possible and turned on some fans, which when paired with the cool weather overnight, got it down to 73 degrees by the next morning. It was just the first night that was a little too warm for us, but the rest of the nights were fine and it overall didn’t impact our stay. We would definitely stay again!

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you loved the location and enjoyed relaxing on the balcony. Sorry that first night was warmer than you’d hoped, but we’re happy to hear it cooled down and didn’t take away from your stay. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Well stocked kitchen and all the basic supplies needed including coffee filters, some spices, paper goods etc. Comfortable beds, living areas. Great location. Would stay here again even knowing we would have to schlep our three LARGE suitcases plus water and groceries up two flights of stairs. We knew that going in so we were mentally prepared … if only our sea level lungs were prepared . It’s a great place. Loved be able to open all the windows for a chilly fresh breeze. We hope to be back.

We truly loved this house! It was perfect for our family. It was so cozy and welcoming. With two grown sons, we had enough space for them to have a private room with a TV and views. And then we had the large living room area with board games, puzzles and a TV. Perfect balcony for mornning coffee and close to everything!

Loved our stay! This apt was great to sit on the deck and enjoy the sun hitting the mountain and water fall. Kids loved they could run out the door and grab food or shop. Cute little touches to the place with their vacation rental kits. Highly recommend this location.
We had a great stay in Ouray. Kitchen was well stock which made everything easy. After running around a few day we just stayed in to relax. I have one comment, the kitchen need better lighting. Wonderful stay. Would gladly stay again.

This place has lots of room. We had 3 couples sharing the space and never felt cramped. The views from the deck are fabulous, and people watching didn’t disappoint. The condo is well stocked for cooking and grilling, too. All of Ouray is easily walkable from here too.
