About this property

Award Winning Cow Creek Suite: Edge-Of-Town Quiet & Convenience With Great Views

Cow Creek Suite's immaculate and luxuriously comfortable accommodations, quiet edge-of-town location and affordable rates have combined to make it one of Ridgway's most popular vacation rentals since 2007. And when readers of the Ouray County Plaindealer were asked in 2013 to name the best lodging in the County they voted Cow Creek Suite second only to the City of Ouray's iconic Beaumont Hotel, recognizing Cow Creek Suite as one of your top lodging options in all of Ouray County as well.

With great second-story views of adjacent meadows and the surrounding San Juan Mountains, you will love this family friendly, two-bedroom property featuring private full bath, laundry, and fully-equipped kitchen and dining facilities. The property has always been maintained smoke, pet and allergen free with allergen barrier bedding and an AccuClean(TM) Whole Home Air Filtration System.

Offering 992 square feet of living space, the large, open great room and vaulted ceilings throughout provide spacious living quarters. Private decks facing east and west let you enjoy sun or shade any time of day. With a queen bed in one bedroom and two twin beds in the other, the suite comfortably sleeps four (five with a youngster on the available cot).

With 400 thread-count 100% cotton sheets, plush carpeting, dedicated high-speed and password protected wireless internet service, 50" Vizio HDTV, custom woodwork and historical area photographs and art, this spacious suite is outfitted to be your favorite home away from home.

The convenient, edge-of-town location is as quiet as it gets, yet directly across the street you can access Ridgway's network of wide, pedestrian and bike friendly sidewalks for a quick, easy walk or ride into the center of town and all of Ridgway's many fine restaurants, shops, and attractions. Highlights include the Ridgway Visitor Center, Railroad Museum, Ranch History Museum, Town Park, County Fairgrounds, and River Trail. (The River Trail traverses the Uncompahgre River corridor to Dennis Weaver Memorial Park, Ridgway State Park, and the awesome hiking trails and single track mountain bike paths surrounding Ridgway.)

SUMMER GUESTS PLEASE NOTE! Thanks in part to a growing family of repeat guests (we've averaged 14 repeat guests per year since 2016) half our summer dates are typically reserved by January so if you have specific dates in mind please book early.

WAIVER OF 3 NIGHT MINIMUM: We will gladly waive the 3 night minimum wherever our availability calendar shows only one or two open nights...just inquire before booking.

FEES: Vrbo includes both a SERVICE FEE and a HOST FEE in their quotes for this property. The SERVICE FEE is what travelers are charged by Vrbo for using the Vrbo booking platform - as your hosts we have nothing to do with this. The HOST FEE is set by us and is actually a cleaning fee the sole purpose of which is to ensure you can expect the unit to be immaculately clean upon your arrival - including freshly laundered towels, bed linens AND blankets (we do not use bed spreads). We make no money on this fee as 100% of what we receive from Vrbo is paid to our outstanding cleaning service who have been under contract with us for many years. You will find this emphasis on immaculate accommodations is reflected in our guest reviews.

SHORT TERM RENTAL LICENSE: To help ensure your safety and the quality of your rental experience the Town of Ridgway, City of Ouray and Ouray County have all established standards that short-term rental properties within their jurisdictions must meet in order to be licensed to operate. Cow Creek Suite operates under License No. STR2017-16 issued by the Town of Ridgway. Before choosing a short term rental property make certain it is operating legally with a valid, government issued license prominently displayed in their listing or call the appropriate local administration offices to verify the rental property is properly licensed.

Quiet and convenient property

Check-in process was very simple. Bob and Mary Beth were very friendly and helpful. The beds weren't the most comfortable, but that would be my only minor complaint about the property. It was clean, quiet, and very convenient for access to everything we wanted to do during our stay. Excellent property that I would definitely stay in again.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Beth and Bob

Host profile image
Hi I'm Mary Beth - husband Bob and I have been offering vacation rentals to travelers to our area since 2007. I've lived in Ouray County since 1974 and Bob since 1999 and we enjoy sharing what we've learned about this special place we call home and its many attractions. We look forward to hosting you and your family and promise to do our best to make Cow Creek Suite your favorite home away from home!

Why they chose this property

Cow Creek Suite is ideally located between Telluride and Ouray along the San Juan Skyway, perhaps the most scenic of the entire Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway System. This paved highway forms a 236 mile loop in the southwest part of Colorado traversing the heart of the San Juan Mountains. Cow Creek Suite is just 37 scenic highway miles from Telluride's incredible snow skiing and summer festivals, yet only a short walk or drive to Ridgway and Ouray's natural hot springs, unique historic attractions, affordable shops, great restaurants and limitless outdoor adventures. (Think Outside!)

What makes this property unique

Our convenient edge of town location will save you time getting to all the places you want to go here in "San Juan Country" while providing you with a quiet and peaceful night's sleep, privacy and beautiful mountain views from every window.
