Family Trip

Perfect place to stay with a house packed full of everything you would need. Clean, plenty of room for a family and a great location. We had an issue with the washing machine and the host was quick to fix the issue. 5 stars in our book!

Wonderful rental home in beautiful downtown Ouray!

We love this rental home! This was our third stay at this beautiful historic home. Our family had everything that we needed and more! This home was clean and comfortable and located directly on Main Street. We will be back, hopefully soon. Wish we could have stayed longer! Most enjoyable vacation ever in this awesome home away from home!

Good location.

Overall it was okay. Some of the rooms were hot due to windows wouldn’t open. Nice big kitchen. The beds could use new mattresses.

Comfortable home in the center of town

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, beds were comfortable. It has a nice fire pit in the back yard - we enjoyed hanging out there in the evening. It is located on Main Street, but the home is quiet. We walked to restaurants. I would stay there again.

Good location but overpriced

Arrived and really enjoyed the location and easy parking. It’s right on the Main Street between businesses. The kitchen was nice and we were able to cook several meals during our stay. Why I’m giving it a lower rating is the beds weren’t comfortable at all, the ceilings are really low, one of the bedrooms is missing a door to the bathroom, and portions of the house are not level. I’ve never walked up such uneven stairs in my life. All things considered it works but should cost less for what you are getting.

Great house in the heart of downtown Our

We spent a week here for spring break and the house was a perfect launch pad for our Our adventure - walking distance from everything and super close to the ice park and hot springs. Our dog felt very comfortable in the house and enjoyed the small but explorable yard, and we had plenty of space to relax and hang out. This is NOT an accessible home - the stairs are extremely steep and there is no main floor bedroom, and many of the rooms are quite dark. But the kitchen is bright and spacious and the bedrooms are all very comfortable. Ouro only real complaint was that the parking area behind the house was plowed so narrowly that it was extremely hazardous to get out of the car back there, and we had multiple slips and falls.

Nice location, not great for adult/elderly families

The house is in a fantastic location accessible to the town by walking. The living spaces are wide open and very accommodating for families staying here. The kitchen was nice with all the appliances and needs anvailable and in great condition. The host was very responsive and helpful when reaching out. Downsides are there is a half bathroom on the first floor, but the showers and baths are upstairs and have a great distance to travel to shower if you sleep in the basement. The house has character by being unlevel/off-kilter which will make bedroom doors hard to close and they will slam at all hours (even middle of the night). The unlevelness will make it hard for the elderly climb stairs. 2/4 bedrooms are tight spaced which makes it challenging for adult couples or elderly staying with you. Parking is behind the house, but is tight if you have 2 cars. We looked to extend the stay beyond new years, and was disappointed when we requested they doubled the nightly stay rate and upped the service fees because of “peak holiday season”, but when looking to book dates around that timeframe via the app they had nothing booked for a month either way which made it felt like price gouging.

Not what I expected

First, let me say that the location on main street is very good, and communication about issues with property manager was excellent. However, part of the house is not level... especially the down stairs bathroom, property needs painting on outside very badly, cleanliness of property was acceptable but not great, kitchen was serviceable, bathroom in MBR does not have a door (awkward to say the least), toilets in very tight spaces and very low to floor, outdoor space was not well landscaped, stairs very narrow and hard to navigate, railings on stairs and on back steps had splinters if not very careful. Only one trash receptacle, which was not nearly big enough for 7 people... but property management was very good about picking up extra bags that would not fit in bin. With some work on the property it would be a good place, especially considering the excellent location.

Honest Review

This house served as a hub for my family which was spread amongst properties though we came together here to visit and share meals. First the good news: Good location if shopping is goal. Parking is easy. Management is responsive. Plenty of seating Kitchen is well appointed The upstairs beds were comfortable Basement stayed temperate Bad news: Bad location if privacy is key. Windows open to main street sidewalk with strangers peeking in. Far from luxurious. I would describe it as cheap lipstick on a crooked slanted very warm pig. First night was a mess. Oven didn’t work and no grill as promised. (Taken care of next day) Only one trash bin. Management took care of the overflow. The half bath is horribly outdated. Needs a lot of TLC to fix windows, landscaping, loose banisters/baseboards, peeling paint, etc. Really bad news: The house is warm. I am being polite - unbearably hot. There are underpowered fans that provide little relief. The windows on the street do not have screens and most are inoperable so there is no cross breeze. Closing the drapes & windows makes the house darker and does little to keep the morning sun/heat out. Besides that, I’m on vacation and resent trying to solve a problem that only real a/c can fix. We will not be back to this house. We have rented other spaces in Ouray that were much nicer and more private. I would probably be more forgiving if I had not paid top dollar for what was advertised as luxurious

Nice Rental in Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful location in charming Ouray. Overall we were happy and comfortable. Rental had a big, well stocked kitchen. There is a yard with a grill that was great. Only criticisms are the large sectional couch had an unpleasant odor as did the basement room. The entire house leans and the downstairs does not include a shower. Overall we were happy. The furry bean bags were fun.

We Love the Cottage House

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed twice at the Cottage House. Everything about it is perfect for our family. The only issue is that both years we have been come it has been unseasonably warm and the home has no AC, not even window units that would be a terrific upgrade. We were really uncomfortable in the house for that reason. We bought four fans to add to those they already had in there that were for the most part useless. Other than that, the location is perfect for a Ouray stay. The new visitor book and dollar clue is fun and we added our part to that! I don't know if we will return next year or find a place with AC, but it may be likely. Thank you for your hospitality and quick responses to our inquiries. The Key Family

Cottage in Ouray, Colorado

The cottage was in a great location in downtown Ouray. We were there to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family, so we brought everything we thought we might need for a big family meal. Turns out we could have saved ourselves a lot of trouble because the kitchen was so well supplied. There was plenty room for us all to be together, but also room for some privacy. The only negative was that the beds were full not queen, but definitely not a deal breaker. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
