Historical
We had a wonderful time and the location was perfect. The cabin was so quaint and and cute. The deck was outstanding and we cooked on the grill a number of times. The town was right there and perfect walking distance. Really enjoyed the Historic hotel right around the corner. Highly recommend it for the bar and dinner. Nice patio also. We didn’t use any towels because I got fooled one time where they said towels were supplied but they weren’t. So I always bring my own supply. Also helps you guys with cleaning. We had a rental for 4 years and I know how helpful it is to start a load of towels right before we leave. All in all it was a great place. Wonderful sunsets from the porch and great people watching. Once again,the cabin was really nice and cool. The nice room upstairs was also really cool. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. If we’re back in the neighborhood, we’ll definitely stay again. We live in Montana in the mountains and usually take a trip to Colorado at least once a year. 5 stars to you!❤️🏔️

OURAY COLORADO WHAT CAN YOU SAY!
This VRBO vacation stay was absolutely wonderful as Ouray, Colorado cannot be beat in the summer. Could not ask for better views from the expansive deck. The manager was great! We had a few hiccups with the cabin and she was there for us every time. Our rating is low due to the accommodations. We decided to rename this cabin "the WONKY" cabin. The reason for this is the floors in the main part of the cabin are all wonky leaning every which way nothing was level. It made it extremely difficult to walk in the cabin literally feeling as if you were walking on a ships deck throughout the lower level. The upper level is pretty much inaccessible as the stairs are probably the steepest stairs (more like a very steep ladder) we have ever used. They did do a nice job with the upstairs rehab, but sorry to say those floors in the main part of the cabin need to be leveled for a comfortable stay. Because of it's location on Oak Street which is a by-pass for all the locals the decks get extremely dusty even though they oil the road. It would take some extra work to clean up those decks but it would have been appreciated.

Wish I could Buy this Cabin!
I was very surprised at how well laid out this old cabin was! The use of storage was extremely well thought out and it was stocked extremely well with everything needed. Its old and rustic yet doesnt smell like an old musty cabin. The creeky floors and sloped walls just add to the experience. My 2 boys 17-19) and I will be back they loved this place! Ouray is a great town to visit!

Historic and walking distance to town!
Great mix of a historic building with modern amenities! Walking distance to downtown and even closer to Mi Mexico (awesome food and service). Walking distance to the perimeter trail. Just a heads up - if you have a large truck (I have a 1500 Sierra with a crew cab and standard bed) the driveway can be tough to manage. This is not a knock at all, just an FYI. Loved it, would stay here again!

Great stay at the Seldom Inn
My family stayed here with our two Frenchies. We loved the quirkiness of the wavy floors and the leaning wall in the bedroom. It is restored really well & makes great use of space for something that was built in the 1870’s‼️We loved walking to Main Street & to the hot springs. We even walked to the Box Canyon Falls. It is a little small in the living room area but the upstairs living area helps a lot. Would stay again‼️

July weekend in Ouray
Cute place, “rustic” as described. Loved the location and proximity to downtown. We brought an extra fan which really helped to cool the upstairs sleeping area. Teenagers said the upstairs beds were not very comfortable, but our queen bed on the main level was comfortable and I slept well. Bathroom was well stocked with towels and appreciated the products provided. Access to the perimeter trail just down the road across from the RV campground. Only negative was that there really wasn’t space for all four of us to sit and watch TV together. Others might say “you’re in Ouray, go outside!” We spent lots of time outdoors hiking, taking in the sights, hot springs, shopping, eating at local restaurants. The vrbo even has an impressive movie selection (DVDs), but the living room couch only seats two people! So kind of impossible for a family of four to gather together. Also would have been nice to have some throw blankets in the living room for chilly mornings and evenings. It was a nice stay, but we would look for something different in the future.

What a delight
The FIRST THING you may want to know about this stay, is that we had a BEAR visitor, early Tuesday morning. Came directly up the stairs onto the deck while my husband was outside with his morning coffee?! So just be aware, they are nearby! Other than this scary moment, this stay was such a delight. The location is fabulous with easy access both to the town and to the nature trails. The view out the window is gorgeous and you can hear the river from the front porch. The kitchen is well stocked and we ate mosts of our meals in. (If you plan to cook a lot, I'd bring some ziplocks, saran wrap, foil, tupperware, these items I wish I'd had.) Our daughter loved the upstairs to herself (but found the bedroom a little hot and slept on the couch up there where you can open the windows.) It is small but quaint and adorable and just the right size for our group of 3. Also wanted to mention, we thought of bringing our dog, but I'm glad we didn't, (in our case, only because, I assumed there would be hardwoods or tile, but there was carpet.) But it was an incredibly dog-friendly town all the way around. We enjoyed the hiking, the train, the day trips, and the in-town shopping/food, the springs... we'd definitely return.

Adorable
We can’t say enough good things about the Seldom Inn. Such a fun stay! This cabin was unlike your typical rental. It is unusual, quirky, adorable, and memorable. The floors are creaky, the floor is a little uneven in places, but all of that just adds to the charm. The deck is gorgeous and you could easily sit there all day and watch the world go by. The location can’t be beat, just blocks from the quaint Main Street. We had our dog and while there isn’t a yard, the dog park is a 5 minute walk away. We ate dinner in every night and any kitchen tool one would need was provided. The upstairs loft area is cute, we just didn’t use it much since it was just two of us. It would be a dreamy haven for teenagers. Plenty of towels and a lovely remodeled bathroom. The driveway is small and steep, so just be careful if it’s icy or traveling with elderly. Highly recommend for a memorable trip!

Seldom Inn Cabin
We had a fun experience staying at the cabin. The location is great as far as being able to walk to town for shopping and dining. The cabin is small, but fit the four of us and our dog fine. However, there is no yard or fenced area for your pet, so a leashed walk is required frequently. The upstairs loft was great for my teens, but the steps to it are steep and the railings up there are not safe for small children in my opinion. The beds are super comfortable and we always got nice hot showers. The laundry room is down another flight of stairs which require you to go outside and down. I would recommend a laundry basket be provided to help get laundry down. Overall, we would stay again. The communication with property management is top notch! Ouray is absolutely beautiful!
