Great view of Amphitheater

We enjoyed staying here! The house is cute and quirky. I felt like I was in Ron Weasley’s house on Harry Potter! It was a quick walk to town to all of our favorite shops/restaurants. I would stay here again!

Cute Historic Cabin

We enjoyed our stay! The cabin has the necessary basics and was a perfect location to walk to restaurants and the dog park. The last day there was a bit of a sewage smell that was pretty foul. We let the property manager know, of course. Kids had a great time exploring the snow covered boulders behind the cabin. Overall good stay!

Cool cabin!

Quintessential little log cabin with big bonus area upstairs! We loved this place…it was like stepping back in time but with modern conveniences. The location simply cannot be beat! And who’d expect to have wonderful frrebie travel size AVEDA products?!? The only change I would make is to Have a larger couch upstairs so you can hang out more comfortably.

Don't pass this up!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Quaint, quirky, historic and perfect would describe the Seldom Inn. This place was perfect for our quick stay in town. Within walking distance from Main street and Box Canyon, you're in a great location to basically everything while still being on the edge of town. The main hot springs pool is a quick walk down river as well. We enjoyed the beautiful porch with outstanding views and the nearby river. Inside and out was beautifully decorated and cared for. Perfect for a couple or small family or group.. the loft was a wonderful addition and would be super fun for a tween/teen. The cabin had plenty of towels and extra linens, plus a well stocked kitchen if you wish to bring in groceries and cook in home. If you enjoy quirky cabins with history this is your place! So happy we found this gem, thank you for hosting us, we can't wait to be back!

Beautiful quirky home

What a lovely home!!! Right in the heart of Ouray walking distance to town, this was a cozy place to stay for a winter vacation. It was warm, with lots of good books. Sitting a bit over town, it had the most beautiful views out the large living room window. I cooked all meals, and I will say it lacked a few basics like coffee filters and maybe a good cast iron skillet as most pans were teflon that appeared old. Wonderful stay overall!

I love this cabin

We loved this tiny old cabin. We loved the creaky floors, the walls that slant from age, and the tiny kitchen area that was fully stocked with an amazing display of efficiency. Comfy and cozy.

Rustic meets modern Cabin

2 adult couples had a wonderful stay. The cabin is loaded with charm and personality. The kitchen is well equipped and very clean and organized. The location is exceptional. Only an easy block and a half walking distance to Main Street. If you want cozy, clean, charming, with a small side of Colorado cool, this is your place!
