Perfection in Ouray - Hooray!

Everything about this property is perfect. Check in arrival was so easy and quick. We simply walked in the door to the splendid interior of this historic home. The kitchen was beautiful, well organized and well equipped. Decor absolutely gorgeous in each room -beautiful touches hit the mark for ambience and comfort. The location of this home in terms of day trips and just walking through the lovely town of Ouray was simply perfect . We have rented vacation homes in the past all over the world, and we honestly feel this is the best one yet!

Fantastic home and 5 star host

This is an absolutely stunning historic property. Best location ever and tons of room for everyone. Even more so, the host communication was timely AND Liza helped me out of a huge bind when my kids left some dresses behind that were needed for a wedding. I panicked, but Liza found them and had them to me in no time. Great experience all around.

Incredible House

I have honestly never stayed in a more beautiful, well-equipped, perfectly located vrbo. This house retains its historic charm while offering modern comfort. The view from the front porch is incredible. The staff respond promptly to any question or need. And you are perfectly located to access downtown, trails, the hot springs, or anything else you might want to do. We cannot say enough about this spot. If you get a chance to stay here, do!!

Exceptional Experience

We loved everything about our stay. The home has been meticulously restored and is full of both historic charm and modern amenities. So convenient to all downtown shops and restaurants as well as trails, hot springs, etc. The owners were lightning fast with responses and incredibly helpful. We will definitely be booking again!

About the host

Hosted by Liza White

Hello! I'm Liza. My husband Brandon and I are excited to be your hosts! Brandon grew up right here in Ouray and can offer a unique local perspective to our guests. Ouray is our family's favorite place on earth. There is lots to do here - hiking, jeeping, ice climbing, via ferrata, skiing in Telluride, and soaking in the world-famous hot springs. We feel so blessed to share our knowledge of the area not only with our two boys but also with you, our guests!

Whether you are looking for the best restaurant in town or a great day hike or just want to relax in one of the hot springs, we are happy to share our favorite spots with you. We deeply care about our guests' experience so please let us know if we missed anything, we will do our best to address it right away.

We live on the other side of the mountains, in Longmont with two wild boys, 20 chickens, and bees. Although we try to come to Ouray as often as possible, when we are not there ourselves, our mom Cindy who lives in town handles and supervises cleaning and any last-minute assistance you may need. Thank you for choosing to stay at the Ouray Haus, our mountain paradise. Enjoy and have the best trip!
