About this property

STR-2024-066 This cabin is the perfect getaway! This is a one-story home (1,600 sq ft) with a full kitchen, ready to cook to your heart’s content with all new appliances. This cabin has been just recently updated with new flooring and carpet throughout the home. Out back is a propane grill and a gas fire table for gatherings in the fresh mountain air.
Bed setup: The master bedroom has a queen bed, bedroom 2 has a queen bed, bedroom 3 has two twin beds, and also available is a sleeper sofa in the living room.
Located between Ouray and Ridgway, just off of Hwy 550, Brown Bear Cabins offer a quiet retreat, just out of town. Take a stroll to the Ouray KOA, for breakfast or dinner at their restaurant (please contact them for hours).
Ride your bikes to Ridgway on County Road 23, straight from the cabin. Enjoy the open road with views of the ranches with cattle, calves, horses, and foals. The views are incredible, there is not much, more peaceful, than this.
You may choose, on another day (or the same day) to ride your bikes to Ouray, again straight from the cabin. Taking County Road 23 to County Road 17 is the best way to see much more of Ouray. Take a break in Ouray to shop or have a bite to eat, then turn around and head back to the cabin (mostly all downhill, at this point), riding along the Uncompahgre River, life is so good!
** Special! Looking for the perfect romantic getaway for a couple in your group? We've got just the thing—a cozy Casita Travel Trailer right by the river, ready to make their "Glamping Stay" unforgettable! Explore this fantastic add-on to the cabin today!

Cabin at Ouray

Nice and friendly owner, spacious , comfortable and clean place. Not very modern, it could use some new pots and pans in the kitchen if guests are cooking their own meals. Outdoor grill with nice and quiet backyard. Washer and dryer available for free, even detergent was provided! Close to Orvis Hot Springs snd hiking trails. Good location if someone is looking for a quiet out of town and tourists place. We enjoyed 2 nights ,there with my friends and family! Thanks Tara for being a nice host!

Beautiful property and great location

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful property! The house was perfectly suited for our family of six, offering plenty of space and comfort for everyone. The open living areas and spacious bedrooms made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time together without feeling crowded. The location was simply ideal for our outdoor adventures with fantastic hiking trails and fishing just minutes away. The house itself was well-equipped with everything we needed and more. The kitchen had all the amenities for cooking up our favorite meals after a day of exploring, and the large dining area was perfect for family dinners. Overall, this property exceeded our expectations and made for a memorable family vacation. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious, comfortable home with easy access to both hiking and fishing.

Refreshing and Relaxing

My family of 6 enjoyed our two night stay outside of Ouray. It was very convenient to Ridgeway and Ouray. The scenery was lovely with the two horses in the meadow, and the short walk to the river offered a great spot to relax. Text communication with the owner was exceptional. She went above and beyond.

Girls Getaway

The setting is a cabin tucked in the valley of Colorado's Little Switzerland with magnificent views in every direction. There are horses in the green pasture and snow caps in the mountains. We enjoyed watching the owner irrigate and work in the fields as the black lab dog with white tipped feet played at his side. The cabin is knotty pine and decorated in a wilderness theme. Mom loved her coffee, a book, and a blanket by the fire in the livingroom fireplace. Then there was shopping and tours for us girls in the mountain town of Ouray. Grandma was born there and we felt so conne c t

Family Get-Together

Tara’s cabin was a wonderful place to meet, relax and explore these beautiful surroundings by our adult family members. Tara’s cabin was home away from home, beautifully appointed and equipped with everything that one would need. It was larger than expected, with comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen and great hot water showers. Loved to be able to barbecue and to enjoy relaxing evenings on the patio with a fire pit table. Great location by cafes, eateries, markets and access to nearby destinations. All of us thank you Tara for the wonderful accommodations!

Jeep adventure

The group was a family of 4 & a married couple & 2 more Jeep friends! We call us an eating club not a jeep club! We enjoyed going trail riding throughout Ridgeway, Ouray & Telliride Colorado! The house had information about local restaurants diners activities, etc. If we had any needs or questions Tara would get to us asap Tara was a great help with our trip. Hope to be back to this Vrbo in near future!

Great Stay!

Everything was as listed in the VRBO ad. Tara was a very gracious host. Great location, fantastic views, relaxing atmosphere. We used the grill and the fire pit provided. There is also a nice sitting area along side the river in the back of the property that we enjoyed. My grandsons were out every morning feeding Blaze and Sky (the horses) carrots. I happily recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the San Juan Mountain area.

Comfortable space for our family

This cabin was the perfect size for our family gathering of 5 people. Everything we needed for cooking and relaxing was provided and the couches were very comfy! We played several of the board games that were available. The best part was the proximity to Ouray!

Perfect for us

We stayed here over a long weekend and couldn't have picked a better spot. It was cozy but spacious at the same time, and had every amenity we needed (two bathrooms for the little kiddos was a huge plus). I almost wish we hadn't arrived with so many activities scheduled in advance for our mini-vacation so we could have enjoyed the comfort of the cabin more! Overall, the hosts were very thoughtful in making sure every need was covered, and it certainly showed. Would definitely rent here again!
