Such a cute, comfortable house! Loved the back porch and being able to walk from the house to the town. Awesome location for folks for folks wanting to visit Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride since we wanted to hike/run the Hardrock Course. I would definitely stay at this place again if in the area. One of the best VRBOs I’ve stayed at!

Loved the place. Cute little house right in town, everything was very sufficient for a short stay. Easy walk a few blocks in to town for coffee or dinner. Kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities. Comfortable beds and a great small deck and patio out back for relaxing.

A home away from home in Central Ridgway- close to Telluride and Ouray.

This was one of the best places we have ever rented. Location was a perfect 1/2 mile or less to the town square and several restaurants and market and a route that leads to a river walk. The layout was great, beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked and the fenced backyard was so perfect. Good wifi, great communication, cute touches throughout. What more could you ask for?

Great place & so convenient!

We had a great time in Ridgway - and the house was great. The house itself had everything we needed (and more) & was so close to restaurants and shops. The house binder was really helpful in selecting places to eat - Eatery 66 was a clear winner! The property manager was helpful with our questions & getting into the house was a snap. It was perfect for our fall getaway - would definitely come back and stay again. Thanks!

A long wait for excellence

Planned trip last summer to be with our Colorado kids but cancelled due to COVID-19. Was delighted the property was available this year and were able to extend our stay an extra night. I would like to transplant the house closer to Texas. Is the best rental we’ve found…

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Turner

Host profile image
My family has been coming to Ridgway for over 40 years! We love to get-away from our cities to be in the sunlight, air and incredible mountains of the area! Sometimes we come for family time, sometimes time with friends. We wish we could be there more often...but now we can share it.

Why they chose this property

Ridgway is a perfect location : private enough to keep it a little bit secret, but close to Telluride, Ouray, Durango, Montrose and the majestic San Juan Mountains. There is hiking, biking and skiing for all levels. There are public hotsprings for families and private springs for couples. Telluride offers a film festival, music festivals and some of the best skiing in the world! My grandfather found the house in the 1960's and we've loved the area ever since!
