We loved this cute, quirky cabin! Everything we needed for a long weekend. A short walk to downtown & a great view of the New Year firework show from the deck. We would definitely stay here again.
The location was quiet, had amazing views. Inside was extreamly clean, and although we come prepared there was everything possibly imaginable avail. for a comfortable trip. A few notes to other to consider: If you are of age going upstairs is a challenge, yet possible if you take ea step slowly. It is adorable upstairs. Also, parking space is tricky, yet is possible if you maneuver your vehicle correctly. These 2 things are just a heads-up. Do not avoid this AMAZIN mountain place. We'll be renting again.
Perfect little cottage right on the edge of downtown Ouray. Can walk to multiple restaurants and you have perfect access to the Ouray Perimeter hiking trail. We had a wonderful stay with our pup. Would highly recommend.
This little cabin was so cute and cozy. It was a very unique property that was perfect for my husband and I. Overall very clean and tidy. Great location!!! Would love to stay here again.
Quaint cabin with unique features! Within walking distance of downtown. Went above to make sure the stay was wonderful! Beautiful views!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
A lot of truck and pedestrian traffic, putting in new power lines, home or business building across the street Beautiful location near the town and surrounding Stairs going to the up stairs are very narrow and steep, would not recommend for senior citizens All in all we had a great stay at Seldom Inn
We enjoyed our stay! The cabin has the necessary basics and was a perfect location to walk to restaurants and the dog park. The last day there was a bit of a sewage smell that was pretty foul. We let the property manager know, of course. Kids had a great time exploring the snow covered boulders behind the cabin. Overall good stay!
Quintessential little log cabin with big bonus area upstairs! We loved this place…it was like stepping back in time but with modern conveniences. The location simply cannot be beat! And who’d expect to have wonderful frrebie travel size AVEDA products?!? The only change I would make is to Have a larger couch upstairs so you can hang out more comfortably.
Pictures of property made it look more spacious than it actually is. All amenities are provided and thoughtfully arranged in a “cozy” space, and they even provided a special spot for our dog. Although well-maintained, this is an older property with squeaky floors and a bedroom door (to outside) that won’t quite shut.

Reviewer Comments:
This charming cabin was the perfect place for us to spend our honeymoon. The place was clean, quiet and well-stocked. Communication was clear leading up to our stay. The cabin is ideally located close to town and walkable.
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‼️
What a lovely home!!! Right in the heart of Ouray walking distance to town, this was a cozy place to stay for a winter vacation. It was warm, with lots of good books. Sitting a bit over town, it had the most beautiful views out the large living room window. I cooked all meals, and I will say it lacked a few basics like coffee filters and maybe a good cast iron skillet as most pans were teflon that appeared old. Wonderful stay overall!

We love Ouray and we loved the Seldom Inn. It was within walking distance of everything we needed and the views from the deck were awesome. The cabin was adorable - so cool to stay in a 19th-century piece of history.

Loved the cabin. Very charming and well kept. Upstairs loft area with twin beds, sitting room, and half bath is great for kids and others sharing the rental. Great views of the mountains from the large interior window in the living room. Walking distance to Main Street.
Overall stay was wonderful. Location was perfect. The only thing I would suggest is to have a laundry basket available. And the deck light was not working. It is really dark back there at night if you wanted to sit in the garden area.
