• Great Back Deck!

  4/5

  The back deck and the main-floor primary bedroom were the two biggest reasons I chose this property, and the deck definitely did not disappoint. We ate dinner outside every evening and really enjoyed the space. There was plenty of seating for everyone, both on the deck and inside around the dining table and in the living room.

  One thing worth noting is that the river is not quite as accessible as the photos made it appear. I had expected to be able to pull a chair right up to the water, but the river sits approximately four feet below the property, and I did not feel comfortable climbing down to it. That said, the deck itself was wonderful and still made the stay worthwhile.

  The house overall was comfortable and worked well for our group. I especially appreciated the large kitchen island for preparing meals. The kitchen could benefit from a few additional cooking utensils and some larger cookware, particularly a large pot for making pasta or meals for a group.

  There were a few maintenance issues that were frustrating. The dryer door would not stay closed, and I was given instructions to wedge something between the wall and the dryer door in order to keep it shut while running. It kinda worked, but it was very inconvenient and seems like something that should be repaired. The showers also drained very slowly, leaving us standing in ankle-deep water while showering.

  The most confusing issue involved the water. During our stay in August, the property contact informed me that the City of Ouray was supposedly under water-contamination protocols and advised us to use bottled water. I was also told that local restaurants were operating under the same restrictions. Naturally, this was concerning and would have meant an unexpected expense for our group. Ultimately, we used the water at the house for drinking, cooking, washing dishes, and showering without any problems. We also ate at restaurants in town, and no one in our group became ill. The water tasted perfectly fine as well. I’m still unsure what the concern was or where the information came from, but the conflicting information caused unnecessary confusion and concern during our stay.

  Totally enjoyed our stay. Living room was very comfortable. Great layout

  Back porch was

  Very relaxing with nice view of mountain & the sounds of the river were very soothing. Fire pit was an added plus. Basically a block from town. Can’t beat it
