About this property
AlpLily Inn: The Box Canyon Room ~Private Balcony
The Box Canyon Suite is just what you've been looking for during your stay in Ouray. Family owned and operated. This cozy suite is located on Main St, just blocks from trailheads, shops and restaurants. Only a 3/4 mile walk or drive to the renowned Ouray Hot Springs Pool. Jen will be your host and is knowledgable about the area and can give you all the pointers you need to live like a local during your stay in Ouray. Due to the age of the building, it's suitable for children 12 and up only.
The space
The home was originally built in 1890 and was the childhood home of Colorado's 31st governor William Knous. The home was then owned by a nurse who worked at the local miners hospital. It operated as business front and boarding house for many years until the current owner purchased the home in 2015. It's just a short walk up the hill to the infamous Ice Park and Ouray Via Ferrata. The building sits below the launch site for the 4th of July and New Year's Eve fireworks and gives an up close experience of the events! This quaint, clean and comfortable accommodation offers the perfect respite following your outdoor adventures!
The house has been renovated to incorporate modern comforts, however much of the original charm is preserved. The upstairs bedrooms were transformed into spacious guest suites with private baths. The rooms are bright and airy and offer amazing views of the Amphitheater and Box Canyon.
The Box Canyon Room sleeps 2 and offers a queen size bed, private bath, private balcony and in room coffee.
Guest access
Guests access their rooms through the front door of the house. The Box Canyon Suite offers a private South facing, private balcony. *Seating on the front porch is reserved for use by guests of the Amphitheater Suite.
Other things to note
Refunds will not be issued due to weather.
Street parking is located in front of the building on Main St. Please note, there is no overnight parking in Ouray for snow removal during some months of the year. This will be identified by a no parking sign the city will put on Main. If there is no sign, you are fine to park there.. Additional parking is on the side street, 3rd Avenue.
You may hear and encounter other renters during your stay.
Dogs, cats and other animals are not permitted.
Quiet hours 10pm-6am.
Registered guests only.
No smoking indoors, no parties. - This is a non-smoking building (for any substance including burning incense and candles as per insurance requirements). No smoking is allowed within 15 feet of the building. Ouray is considered high desert and the risk of starting a house or forest fire is high all year. Evidence of smoking will result in a $250 deep clean fee. Please let us know right away of any damage or items that are not in working order.
