About this property

Charming Southwest Victorian in Ouray , Sleeps 8, In town Location

Come home after a fun-filled day of adventure in the San Juan Mountains to this charming, Victorian-style home conveniently located in Ouray. Complete with a front porch, a perfect place to take in the breathtaking views, sip your morning coffee, and relax.
This home is located in Ouray's National Historic District and one block from Main St.. Originally built in 1875, this home offers the best of both worlds: a piece of Ouray's Victorian history and all the modern conveniences you could wish for after an extensive remodel. There are two queen beds on the main floor. Both
bedrooms have ceiling fans. The living room offers comfortable seating , as well as a gas fireplace. The couch in the living room pulls out into a bed that sleeps 2.
The kitchen is well-equipped (gas stove, oven, refrigerator, ice maker, dishwasher, garbage disposal, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, blender, food processor, place settings, pots, pans, cooking utensils, and much more) so you can conveniently cook at home during your stay. There is a washer and, dryer too. The first-floor bathroom has a beautiful walk-in, tiled shower.
The master bedroom is located upstairs in the loft. I refer to the master bedroom as a loft since it does not have a door to close, but the only opening is the size of a door frame that faces away from the rest of the living space, so as to offer relative privacy. The master bedroom has a queen bed and a private bathroom with a clawfoot tub with a shower attachment. A private balcony facing east is accessed from the master bedroom. The balcony is a beautiful spot to enjoy breakfast
or sit in the evenings.
UNLIKE MANY OTHER VRBO LISTINGS IN OURAY, WE DO NOT CHARGE A SECURITY DEPOSIT OR PET FEE

Tastefully decorated with a combination of the southwest and the Victorian style, this cozy, three-bedroom home with extra sleeping space, including a convertible sofa/bed in the living room, offers a great space to spend your time away from home. A favorite among the ice climbers, as it is located within walking distance from the Ouray Ice Park.

Very nice place. Clean and cozy. Loved the historic feel of the home. Only thing I would mention is the living area could use an ottoman or two, or a couple of recliners. But the property had lots of charm and was accommodating. We loved it.

Beautiful Vbro & Great Location

Plenty of room for our group of five. The house has no A/C but an array of fans, & plenty of trees for shade. The W/D was a great bonus as well. We were two blocks from the main street, so leave the car parked and walk uptown for shopping & restaurants.

Mountain Get-Away

It was important to have a place my parents, who are 80 had a place they could be comfortable in and be able to get out and about without too many obstacles and this was the perfect place to be. We could walk to downtown to look at shops by day and get an ice cream cone with the grandkids in the evening and they loved how close all the mountain adventures were to our home base.

Warm, very comfortable. Previous people left beer cans in a box outside the back door. The garbage cans were totally full I guess because of the holiday so we had to leave our garbage bag in the kitchen. The downstairs commode needs attention. It runs very slow. We did however enjoy the property. We would recommend it.

Great Location

We really enjoyed the location, the place is dated but shows in the listing. We had a family of 4 so the 3 bedrooms was perfect although the listing said 4 bedrooms (4th is pullout in living room). We ran out of paper towels and trash bags and didn’t have any dish soap, but we survived and the property manager was responsive to help out. The DIRECTV was broken while we were there, not normally a big deal but we had to go out to watch the Nuggets playoff games which wasn’t ideal and added to expenses. All in all I would definitely stay there again.

Ouray Long Weekend Away

We stayed here with 3 adults for 4 nights. We really loved the location and walked pretty much everywhere. We brought some extra toiletries just in case and needed more TP. The property was straightforward and needed some extra cleaning for my comfort which we completed after arrival. The shower downstairs was great. The tub in the loft didn’t work for us/ was not something we would use. The loft was very warm despite our best efforts to keep airflow moving. It could use a window AC unit. The area was quiet at night and peaceful. Overall, it was a good experience.

Good for climbers

Great location walking distance from the ice park at a good price. The beds downstairs are a bit small for two people. The VRBO app had minimal information. It literally only had WiFi info, which was wrong, the address, lockbox code, and the manager’s phone number. I called the manager at 10:00PM and he called me right back! All necessary information, including the correct WiFi info, is written on the instruction sheet inside. Overall a great experience!

Honest review

I have never given a poor review but this is my honest opinion. Opinions care vary depending on personal preference. I booked this house based on the 5 star reviews. After returning to look at them, I disagree with many. A gift card is offered for a 5 star review, just an FYI. Positives- the location is great. You can walk to everything- shops, restaurants, hikes. The property manager was responsive to my concerns and provided a partial refund which I greatly appreciated. Negatives- the house was dirty. There was both built up dirt and the house was not cleaned prior to our arrival. There were food stains and residue in the fridge and on the stove. The house was dusty, the front porch was very dusty so we did not use it. It had built up dirt on the furniture. When arriving, the initial impression was concern because the house looked worn out and the front yard (the only yard there is) was full of weeds. The interior was also really worn out, including the furniture. You need to bring your own toiletries but there is a hair dryer. We only used the loft bedroom. It was fine but we did bump our heads multiple times due to the low ceiling. If you are tall, it will not work. The loft bathroom is only useful for the sink and toilet. We could not get the bathtub to work correctly. There is not a shower. The only shower is located just outside of the kitchen so if there are multiple couples everyone will share. This is not a 5 star house, I would not rank it more than a 3.

Fantastic location, cozy house, not much privacy

We had a great time at our stay at this cozy house! The location is pretty much perfect - we could walk to Box Canyon and Cascade Falls trails, downtown shops and restaurants, and even the hot springs (though we did not walk back, brr!). We were a little disappointed to find that while the listing states there are three bedrooms, only ONE bedroom has a functioning door (the upstairs bedroom is more of a loft that has a curtain for privacy; the bed in one of the downstairs rooms is too big allow the door to close). That was a little bit of a bummer, as we were traveling with our kids and their grandparents, and a door is an essential feature of a bedroom! Also, unless you’re planning to take a bath, the upstairs bathroom is really more of a powder room - there is no shower. So, what we thought would be a 3 bed/2 bath rental was really more of a 1 bed/1.5 bath. We also felt like the property info in the property was pretty outdated - there were references to trash/recycling stuff that didn’t align with what we saw in the space. The 3-star cleanliness rating is because, while the property itself seemed pretty clean, all of the dishes were REALLY dirty - like lipstick stains on glasses/flatware. It was gross. We had to go buy dishwasher detergent because there wasn’t any and we couldn’t actually scrub the lipstick stains off the glasses! The prior guest had also left piles of dog poop in the back “yard” area and upstairs balcony. Pretty disgusting. We had our dog with us, and I will say it was a little tricky to make sure our dog was using the appropriate outside area - the houses are so close together! This is probably much easier to figure out in the summer. The same is true for parking - we had a hard time figuring out where we could park the two cars in our group due to piles of snow, trash bins, etc. With all that said, we really enjoyed our stay and the house was otherwise perfect - lots of comfortable places for everyone to sit and hang out, and it was light and bright. And again, the location couldn’t have been better. We would definitely stay again.

This house comfortably fit our family which includes me, my husband and two teenage boys. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The best part of the house is the location as it is an easy/close walk to restaurants/shops on main street and to Box Canyon. We also appreciated that they allow dogs. It was very pleasant to sit out on the front porch in the evenings. We very much enjoyed our stay.
