***THIS HOME IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR 30+ NIGHT STAYS***
Our 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom historic home is located in the heart of downtown Ouray. The Dawson House, which was originally built in 1888, maintains its historic charm while embodying all of the modern-day luxuries you are accustom to. The exterior of the home reflects its Victorian roots, while the interior features a modern interior and modern furnishings, an updated kitchen, an updated bath that mixes modern fixtures with an antique claw foot tub, and the original staircase. Combined these features create a beautiful contradiction of history and modernism.

We are taking appropriate steps to prepare for your stay, and have asked all housekeepers to adhere to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance relative to cleaning and disinfecting.
In addition to our regular rigorous cleaning regimen, they are following housekeeping best practices, paying close attention to high touch surfaces, and using the EPA-approved disinfectants for
hard (non-porous) surfaces, soft (porous) surfaces, and electronics. Linens, towels, bedsheets, etc. are washed per the manufacturer’s guidelines. We are also minimizing person-to-person contact from check-in through departure. One of the ways we’re doing this is through no-contact guest access via our keyless entry system. We look forward to welcoming you to our home and hosting your stay.

Nestled in the San Juan Mountains of the Colorado Rockies, Ouray is surrounded by rugged canyons and towering peaks, offering a picturesque setting that's perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a tranquil retreat.
The town's most famous attraction is the Ouray Hot Springs Pool, where visitors can soak in the therapeutic, mineral-rich waters with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The hot springs are open year-round, providing a soothing escape no matter the season.
Adventure seekers will find a paradise in Ouray, with its endless opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and off-roading. The town serves as a gateway to the San Juan Skyway, a scenic byway that offers some of the most breathtaking drives in the country. In the winter, Ouray transforms into an ice-climbing mecca, with the Ouray Ice Park offering world-class ice climbing within walking distance from downtown.
For those interested in history, Ouray does not disappoint. The town's rich mining heritage is on display at the Ouray County Museum, housed in the former St. Joseph's Miners' Hospital.
