This building is in an area surrounded by several thousands of acres of wilderness in the Colorado mountains. Please understand that as a guest of this space, you may encounter a wide range of wildlife from small insects to bears. Our most frequent visitors are deer, foxes, skunks, mice, a variety of birds, and bears. Please do don't leave any coolers, dog food or like items outside at any time. Trash must also be contained in the bear proof dumpster over night. In the nearby area there are elk, bighorn sheep, mountain lions, lynx, moose and other animals that are less frequently seen. We enjoy sharing the area with all critters and respect their right to be here just as much as ours. Therefore, we do not use any chemical pesticides or traps. There are ultrasonic deterants plugged into an outlet in each unit. These emit a high frequency noise to help deter insects and mice but cannot be heard by humans or dogs. Guests enter the building through the front door using a keypad. Proceed up the stairs to the private entrance to the unit on the left. An additional set of stairs is outside that lead up to the deck and an exterior private entrance. Jen will be your host and is also is a full-time teacher at Ouray School.

She may not always be able to give an immediate response, but will answer messages and voicemails within a few hours or first thing the next morning if it's past 9pm. Thanks for your understanding! We hope you have a memorable and adventurous stay in Ouray. If you need immediate assistance, it is best to call Jen directly. If it is past 9pm, two consecutive phone calls will bypass the do not disturb setting and allow the call to go through.
