IDEAL Location, Dogs Welcome!
We had a nice time at the Ouray Getaway. It's conveniently located off Main St near all the restaurants and shops, was very clean, and has more amenities than we expected. It was a great Basecamp for our hiking adventures, and we would stay here again.
The Commons at Spring Creek
“A lovely and relaxing stay!” We had a wonderful stop at this charming cottage during our road trip. The views were beautiful, and the atmosphere was incredibly peaceful. The hosts were warm and welcoming—even surprising us with delicious homemade cookies! The only minor downside was that the main bed was a little creaky, but it didn’t take away from an otherwise lovely stay.
Darla's Loft: spacious, dog-friendly, artistic
Great place! Beautiful and super helpful host.
Utopia North Studio
Claudia and Richard were the perfect hosts and the cottage was exactly what we needed. It was suggested to us by friends who stayed there multiple times while waiting for their house to be built and I knew they would not steer us wrong, and they certainly didn't. This will be our go-to place next time we're in Montrose visiting our friends. Loved it!
Secluded Solar Cabin with Picturesque Views
Loved this secluded peaceful place. Probably one of our favorites. If you love the outdoors, this is the place.
San Juan Chalet Cabin in Ouray ideal location! AC!
Lovely place for a stay in Ouray, you can walk anywhere in town! Perfect amount of space and very cozy
Montrose Memories Central to Western Colorado
We had a wonderful stay at Teresha's Airbnb. This is a basement apartment in a pretty home with a beautiful lawn & flowers (we visited in early summer). The house is in a quiet neighborhood. The apartment was spacious, clean, had plenty of hot water & the beds were comfortable. The Airbnb is a great value for the area and is 15-20 minutes from the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The apartment has a kitchenette only (not a full kitchen) and is close to several restaurants and grocery stores.
The Round House
I'd recommend the Round House to everyone, and my wife and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The house itself is such a creative and inspiring design that we both felt excited to wake up and return after each day. And the dog run area just to the left of the house was perfect for our little 7-month-old puppy Lilac to run around in and get her morning exercise. We loved our experience so much that we wished we'd been able to stay longer! Would definitely stay here again next time we're in the neighborhood 👍🙂

Wild West Within Reach
Kevin's cabin has stunning views of Mount Sneffels and is surrounded by groves of Aspen trees. It is the most peaceful location we've ever stayed at. Kevin was a very responsive host and was always willing to provide great local recommendations in Telluride and Ouray. I would absolutely recommend staying at his cabin.
Log home in Telluride with epic mountain views!
A slice of Colorado heaven! Privacy in a beautiful location made this a great little getaway from the everyday. Million dollar views paired with this cozy cabin made it so memorable. Comfortable amenities and functional spaces made it an easy stay for four adults. Definitely recommend!

Your guide to Ouray
Welcome to Ouray
Ouray bills itself as the Switzerland of America, and it’s easy to see why. Nestled in a steep canyon among the San Juan Mountains, it is shrouded in alpine beauty. The former mining and railroad town has a charming historic district that looks much like it did during the town’s 1880s heyday. Pioneer log cabins, elegant Queen Anne homes, and brick-fronted commercial buildings can all be found here. Today Ouray is known as an outdoor recreation mecca, drawing mountain bikers, hikers, and off-roaders — but its specialty is water-based pastimes. Thanks to its mountain environs, the town has become a top destination for ice climbers worldwide, and an ice park opened here in 1994. Visitors who prefer to enjoy taking things in from a horizontal vantage can luxuriate in a network of naturally heated hot springs. And those who like their water on the move can gaze at nearby Box Canyon Falls, a 285-foot marvel that cascades into a narrow canyon. When you’ve dried off, hop on the Million Dollar Highway, which runs through Ouray and is one of the most gorgeous drives in Colorado.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ouray
Summer in Ouray is mild, with warm days, cool nights, and occasional cloudbursts. It’s an ideal time for hiking, mountain biking, and long drives with clear views on the Million Dollar Highway. The weather cools in the fall, and the mountain forests are splashed with brilliant gold and yellow leaves. Winters in Ouray are long and bring lots of snow along with an influx of visitors, particularly ice climbers. In January, the town celebrates the Ouray Ice Festival, a multi-day climbing event. Spring is mild and dry, and as the snow melts, waterfalls spring to life throughout the region.
Top things to do in Ouray
Ouray Ice Park
Every winter the canyon walls of the Uncompahgre Gorge are sprayed down with water to create the epic Ouray Ice Park, where climbers with ropes and axes loft themselves high above the gorge floor on ice-covered vertical walls. There are more than 100 manmade climbs, 11 distinct areas, and three miles of vertical terrain here.
Not a seasoned ice climber? There are climbing zones for kids and beginners, and you can hire guides and gear in town.
Ouray Hot Springs
Owned and operated by the city of Ouray, this year-round hot springs has been in operation since 1927. For a small day-use fee you can avail yourself of five geothermally heated pools ranging between 75 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The town brags that these waters are sulfate-free, meaning none of the weird eggy smell that accompanies some springs. Surrounded by the majesty of the San Juan Mountains, it’s hard to imagine a hot bath with a better view.
Bachelor-Syracuse Mine
Get a sense of what Ouray was like more at the start of the 20th century with a tour of this inactive ore mine. Tours take visitors underground to explore a mineshaft, and offer the chance to try panning gold in the original mine stream. There are also exhibits of mining equipment, a gift shop, and cafe.
