Highlights include the Ridgway Visitor Center, Railroad Museum, Ranch History Museum, Town Park, County Fairgrounds, and River Trail.

SUMMER GUESTS PLEASE NOTE! Thanks in part to a growing family of repeat guests (we've averaged 14 repeat guests per year since 2016) half of our summer dates are typically reserved by January so if you have specific dates in mind please book early.

WAIVER OF 3 NIGHT MINIMUM: We will gladly waive the 3 night minimum wherever our availability calendar shows only one or two open nights...just inquire before booking.

FEES: Vrbo includes both a SERVICE FEE and a HOST FEE in their quotes for this property. The SERVICE FEE is what travelers are charged by Vrbo for using the Vrbo booking platform - as your hosts we have nothing to do with this. The HOST FEE is set by us and is actually a cleaning fee the sole purpose of which is to ensure you can expect the unit to be immaculately clean upon your arrival - including freshly laundered towels, bed linens AND blankets (we do not use bed spreads). We make no money on this fee as 100% of what we receive from Vrbo is paid to our outstanding cleaning service who have been under contract with us for many years. You will find this emphasis on immaculate accommodations is reflected in our guest reviews.

SHORT TERM RENTAL LICENSE: To help ensure your safety and the quality of your rental experience the Town of Ridgway, City of Ouray and Ouray County have all established standards that short-term rental properties within their jurisdictions must meet in order to be licensed to operate. Cow Creek Suite For Two operates under License No. STR2017-17 issued by the Town of Ridgway. Before choosing a short term rental property make certain it is operating legally with a valid, government issued license prominently displayed in their listing or call the appropriate local administration offices to verify the rental property is properly licensed.

Hideaway in the Rockies

Just what I needed. I was gone all day and needed a bed down location. The property is located in a commercial area next door to a cannibas shop which could be a plus for some.

Clean , well kept, beautiful property within walking distance to a restaurant with live music. Front covered porch with beautiful mountain views. Perfect for a couples getaway with all the amenities provided. If you aren't planning on cooking this is the perfect option, as there is a small kitchen area with a microwave, toaster oven and mini refrigerator to keep a few things on hand. Perfect place to relax after a long day of taking in the surrounding sites. Close to Ouray with plenty of restaurant options and hot springs. Highly recommend this location. Hosts were very quick to reply and communicate with clear instructions provided and checking in to ensure you have everything you need.

Lovely place at a reasonable price in a beautiful location for fall foliage explorations.

The property was clean and perfect for my needs. I traveled on my own and was looking for a comfortable base for exploring fall photography and this was perfect. The kitchen is not a full featured kitchen, but they have a countertop dual burner device that can be used for cooking, but it heats up slowly. They also had a crockpot and a variety of pots and pans. You can make some simple meals, but not a gourmet meal. Essentially as advertised. The one area of improvement would be with the checkin process. We ran into a snafu with the exchange of security codes that caused the value to be something other than what I was expecting, but the hosts responded to my calls in a reasonable amount of time and all was well. I would definitely stay here again.

Great property in a nice and quiet location. Very spacious, comfortable bed. Very clean bath/shower. I would have given 5 stars on listing accuracy but the listing stated 2 burner stove top that was not there. The owners have since corrected the listing. Bob and Mary Beth are wonderful hosts and made our stay very enjoyable. We would stay there again next year.

It’s a beautiful, charming home that it’s thoughtfully appointed to fit in with the old west vibe of Ridgeway. It’s bright and clean, warm and welcoming, and situated in one of the prettiest spots I’ve ever visited in my life. The owners are always so accommodating. So many reasons why we come again and again.

It is a spacious, nicely decorated place and the washer/dryer were helpful. We didn’t enjoy looking towards the mountains and having the view blocked by a huge for sale sign. We didn’t realize there wasn’t an oven, just a toaster oven. Had to get creative with the frozen pizzas!The location to visit both Ouray and Telluride was perfect.

I loved the Cow Creek Suite. Large, beautifully decorated space. Spotlessly clean. Air conditioned. Awesome bed! Check-in was super easy. The kitchen is small but had everything I needed. The owners were in touch and helpful. There is a unit upstairs, but that was not an issue. Plentiful parking. Walking distance to downtown Ridgway. Quiet neighborhood. I would definitely recommend and love to stay there again.

Great Spot

Perfect for a week visit to Ouray, Ridgway and Telluride. We were very comfortable and the location near town and walking distance to a few places was great. We had everything we needed. Our main reason for the visit was the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. We were about 45 minutes to Telluride with a beautiful drive. Thanks for the very clean and relaxing accommodations and we'll hopefully see you again some time!Dana and Gwen

Host profile image
Hi I'm Mary Beth - husband Bob and I have been offering vacation rentals to travelers to our area since 2007. I've lived in Ouray County since 1974 and Bob since 1999 and we enjoy sharing what we've learned about this special place we call home and its many attractions. We look forward to hosting you and your family and promise to do our best to make Cow Creek Suite For Two your favorite home away from home!

Why they chose this property

Ideally located between Telluride and Ouray along the San Juan Skyway, perhaps the most scenic of the entire Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway System. This paved highway forms a 236 mile loop in the southwest part of Colorado traversing the heart of the San Juan Mountains. Cow Creek Suite For Two is just 37 scenic highway miles from Telluride's incredible snow skiing and summer festivals, yet only a short walk or drive to Ridgway and Ouray's natural hot springs, unique historic attractions, affordable shops, great restaurants and limitless outdoor adventures. (Think Outside!)

What makes this property unique

Our convenient edge of town location will save you time getting to all the places you want to go here in "San Juan Country" while providing you with a quiet and peaceful night's sleep, privacy and convenient access to the charming towns of Ridgway, Ouray and Telluride.
