wonderful views. Building needs significant improvements. Ice maker on refrigerator was not working, several light fixtures not functioning. Kitchen supplies were of poorer quality than other places we have stayed, and somewhat mismatched. Very warm when we stayed, and inability to open windows for cross ventilation made it uncomfortable. Handle on shower faucet was not working properly and made it difficult to control temperature.
Our experience at this property was very disappointing. The place was not clean when we arrived â the bathroom trash can still had trash in them, which set the tone right away. The listing features multiple photos of a jacuzzi, which was one of the main reasons we booked, but it turned out to be completely non-functional. This felt very misleading since it was highlighted twice in photos. On top of that, the host made us uncomfortable. He was aggressive in his communication when asked about the jacuzzi. He walked around the property with his dog off leash, which felt unsafe and intrusive.To make matters worse, the host expected us to clean but did not provide any cleaning supplies whatsoever. It was unreasonable to be asked to tidy and maintain the space without the basic tools to do so.He had a cleaning crew show up over an hour before check out, blasting music in the front yard while trying to finish up work. Overall, this property has potential but the stay did not match the listing, and we would not recommend this property to others. I would tell anyone considering this listing to look elsewhere and avoid the headache.
Beautiful views, responsive host. Slightly outdated home and trying to get a hot hot shower wasnât possible. But the views of the home and location wise made up for it.
Great location! The house is large enough for everyone to stretch out. Jay was quick to answer any questions and to give suggestions for hiking, biking etc.
The rustic cabin is located in a quiet rural subdivision just minutes from restaurants and hiking. The cabin sits on top a ridge. The views are amazing. Every day we would rush home to enjoy the tranquil patio. The mountains and river are breathless. Our 2 dogs loved the place. The host is very gracious and attentive.
Good location outside of Ridgway.
Bed mattresses could use updating, pretty worn out.
Hot tube worked, not all jets were working.
Spacious house, enjoyed the stay.
Property is in a great location for the area, easy to get to and comfortable size. Only area of improvement would be a bit more detail to the cleanliness of the house, but nothing that we couldn't take care of ourselves
From the beginning communication with our host was excellent. He was responsive to all inquiries and accessible by phone and text. When we had car trouble, he helped, he provided sleds, advice about the area and kept the hot tub spotless.
House is well located for winter activities-skiing and sledding in Ouray and Telluride, hot springs in Ouray and Ridgway, community rec center in Montrose, Ouray Ice Park. Beautiful drive up Owl Creek Pass Rd, and million dollar highway if you are brave. Close to good restaurants and breweries but best to stock up on groceries in Montrose.
Loved having the 'meadow' below the house-grandkids and dogs loved the freedom.
House is large and well equipped for entertaining and fit our family of 7 well. We used two outdoor chairs to augment living room seating. Master bedroom bed was super comfy but might need mattress toppers for other two beds. Laundry room served as mud room which worked well with winter weather. Kitchen appliances in good working order and we loved the air fryer.
Thanks Jay for a great CO experience!
We got to watch the fall colors come alive at this beautiful property. Jay is a great host and the dogs loved it. Bring coffee cups. . . . They were missing. The hot tub was a hit as was the wall of windows looking at the San Juanâs. Great internet too. Thanks Jay - we will be back.
wonderful views, close to the city but with space to breathe
Waking up, watching the sun come up at the lake every morning was wonderful. We saw a bald eagle on two of our three mornings and that alone was amazing. The deer around the property was special as well, to connect with nature all around.
The house itself is not spectacular in the materialistic way. It's older, 'in need of a remodel' and new or cleaned carpet would be a bonus. The patio itself needs some work, as there are a few areas that are 'soft' or a bit in disrepair. Though many may have balked that this, it was oK for us. We don't care so much about bling, but new carpet and a more comfortable couch would be nice.
We would stay here again - for the views, the quiet and the nature.
I work in the area as a guide doing whitewater rafting, snowmobile , and 4x4 tours. I would be happy to answer any questions to help you choose the right adventure during your trip.
Being high above the river allows you to watch the wildlife from a comfortable distance without disturbing them. The lower property is like a different, tranquil world.
