Thank you so much for this lovely review! We are so thrilled that the little touches for your fur baby were a welcome surprise — we truly believe that pets are family and love making sure they feel just as welcome as their owners! It is so great to hear that the location and property made for such an enjoyable stay. We would love to welcome you and your fur baby back anytime!
The Seldom Inn was a great place to stay. Not only was it clean and comfortable, it had an old west charm and Main Street was in walking distance! The kitchen was probably one of the most well equipped kitchens we have ever encountered in a vacation rental. They even went the extra mile to make our dog comfortable with a dog bed, bowls, and an extra leash! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed The Seldom Inn and that its Old West charm, cleanliness, and comfort made your stay special. It’s great to know the location near Main Street worked well for you, and that the kitchen stood out as one of the best-equipped you’ve experienced.
We’re especially happy your pup felt welcome too—that extra comfort for our four-legged guests is something we truly care about.
We really appreciate you staying with us and would love to host you again anytime!
We love the rustic finishes and amazing patio. Beds were really comfortable. Great walking distance to town and Box Canyon.

The location was quiet, had amazing views. Inside was extreamly clean, and although we come prepared there was everything possibly imaginable avail. for a comfortable trip. A few notes to other to consider: If you are of age going upstairs is a challenge, yet possible if you take ea step slowly. It is adorable upstairs. Also, parking space is tricky, yet is possible if you maneuver your vehicle correctly. These 2 things are just a heads-up. Do not avoid this AMAZIN mountain place. We'll be renting again.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
A lot of truck and pedestrian traffic, putting in new power lines, home or business building across the street Beautiful location near the town and surrounding Stairs going to the up stairs are very narrow and steep, would not recommend for senior citizens All in all we had a great stay at Seldom Inn

Thank you for sharing your experience at Seldom Inn. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful location and had a great stay overall. We appreciate your feedback on the nearby construction and the steep stairs—this home does have historic features that may not be ideal for all guests, and we’ll continue to make that clear in our listing.

Perfect little cottage right on the edge of downtown Ouray. Can walk to multiple restaurants and you have perfect access to the Ouray Perimeter hiking trail. We had a wonderful stay with our pup. Would highly recommend.

Would have given this place 5 stars and amazing reviews; however, there was a horrible smell that we are certain was a dead mouse/rat. Maintenance tried to find the source and provided room spray, but this didnt help. Location was perfect.
