Property was a little older than we expected and we booked fully realizing that it did not have air conditioning. That being said it was very hot the week we stayed and the bedroom was at 84 degrees at 10pm even with the windows open. I wouldn’t recommend taking a trailer to this property due to the driveway that turns downhill.

Loved the location and the property in general. Would have liked more clear communication in advance on check-in and check-out requests. Host was quick to answer any questions though. Do NOT use Google Maps to get you to this address. The directions provided by the Host will get you to the correct place. (We didn't realize they weren't the same until afterward). There is no animal safe trash onsite, the downstairs light must stay on to use the ceiling fan, and the swamp coolers need frequent water refills. All of which can be a bit of an inconvenience. Overall though the place was clean, the house was well stocked with paper products, linens, toiletries, kitchenware, etc. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay here again.

Awesome Place to Stay!

This was our second time staying here. It’s in a great location close to town but also secluded and quiet. Check in was easy and received a couple texts during the week just checking to make sure things were good. Will definitely stay here again.

Stunning views

We just got back after spending a week at this beautiful home. The neighborhood is quiet and the views are gorgeous! The home is well stocked and very clean. In the morning we’d wake up and have coffee on the deck and look at the trees, wildlife, and “our” mountain. After spending the day out and about we’d return in the evening for a glass of wine and stargazing on the deck. The location can’t be beat, we will absolutely be back!

Wonderful Stay

The property was great and we had a great stay, but we were lacking some details for check in. When we first arrived, we entered on the wrong side of the house. The front door along with parking was on the other side of the house, off of Elk Ridge Trail. There was also enough space to park an F150 and a 14 foot trailer, but it did require that we unhook and reconnect it to turn around. Other than this, our stay was perfect.

Great home for large family

The property was in a great location; secluded yet quite accessible to Ouray. The kitchen was wall equipped. Enjoyed the living space with stereo and toys. Overall the house was well kept. We did have an issue with a door being accidentally locked making one of the living spaces inaccessible. Management was responsive being a weekend, and they sent a locksmith the following day. We did run out on some supplies (hand soap, tissue) for a large family staying multiple days and encountered a couple cleanliness concerns (previous guests spilled food in the oven and left dirty laundry under the bed). Overall the property was suitable, and we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful views from the Deck!

We have rented many houses in the Ouray area and this house by far had the best views! This house was perfect for 4 adults and 2 kids. The only thing that I would say bad is that we were left with only enough toilet paper for 1 day and didn't realize it until we needed it .. But all in all a perfect house to stay at with an amazing back deck to enjoy the view. Thank you for letting us stay was such an enjoyable vacation .

Complete, child friendly, clean, beautiful house at a great location

We stayed 4 nights at the Lewis house and loved it! The house was spotlessly cleaned, fully equipped and has a lovely fire place and terrace at 2 sides. The view is gorgeous and location efficiently near Ouray town. Our kids (3 and 5) were pleased to have a little kids table and chairs and also some children books which all came with the house. Bed fence and cot also available in the house. The house is decorated with warm colours and cosy details. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a spacious dining table. A few mornings we had deer around the house too. Perfect holiday home!

Pleasant home and visit

This house is quiet, pleasant, clean and comfortable. It is nicely situated off the beaten track, with equal access to Ouray and Ridgway, which suited our needs perfectly. It’s private location is perfect for getting away and relaxing in your own space. The only hiccup for us was finding enough space to stash suitcases when not using them.
