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.
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.

Great location about halfway between Telluride and Silverton. Property was clean and communication with hosts was excellent. Would absolutely stay here again next year.
Spotless property. Enjoyed the well stocked kitchen. We spent a lot of time on the back deck where we ate our meals and read a book. The couches were comfortable and the large coffee table was handy for looking at maps and travel brochures.
Very convenient location for access to Ouray, Telluride, and Owl Creek Pass. A great place to prepare and eat meals, work a puzzle, or watch a movie after a day of sightseeing.
Great location (easy drives to Ouray, Montose, Telluride) and beautiful views. Very clean and had everything you need to feel at home. Definitely would stay again if in the area.
Loved our stay in Ridgway. The Cow Creek Suite location was great, and suited our needs perfectly. Mary Beth reached out to us upon checkin to make sure all was good, and to answer any questions, and we appreciated that.
Cow Creek was a great place for our visit.We weren’t sure about staying in Ridgeway when our friends were in Ouray. Turns out to be a good decision. We were 13 min from downtown Ouray and had none of the congestion!Cow Creek was super clean and well maintained. Very comfortable.
This property is clean, comfortable and cozy. It is located in a nice area. The owner is very hands on and wants to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
I can recommend this property highly.
Very organized, clean and nice lighting. We arrived during daylight which made an easy access to the location and woke up to a beautiful scenic setting. The accommodations were lovely and in close proximity to the local town and market and a short drive to scenic mountain trails.
Property was great, better than we expected! It was clean, roomy, quiet and convenient to everything we planned on doing in the area. Accurately described which is appreciated when deciding where to book. Hosts were very responsive to inquiries prior to us getting there and checked in once we arrived. Highly recommend staying here and we return without hesitation.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Cozy TV room was so enjoyable. The views were wonderful. I was able to cook in the kitchen and make dinner for my extended local family who came to visit. It was very quiet and restful. Good Internet and wifi, a TV channels to watch Super Bowl and our favorite shows.
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.
I could not have asked for a more perfect stay! The instructions were thorough and clear, I had no issues finding the place or getting in. It was spotlessly clean - I am a clean freak and it was perfect. I was there to explore the surrounding areas, and it was the perfect central location. There is another unit below, but I never heard anyone. The two decks have beautiful views and are a great place for a little break or morning coffee. It's not too far off a main road, but when inside I didn't hear any traffic; it was very quiet. It was a really lovely stay and everything I needed, thank you!
The Cow Creek Suites were clean and quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evening. It was a tight fit in the kids' bedroom with the cot, but was manageable for the 4 days we were there. I was worried about the kids spilling on the carpeted dining area. The location was quiet and good for activities in Ouray and Ridgway. The hosts were responsive and helpful.
We stayed 3 nights while hiking the area. The kitchen was spacious and had all the pans etc we needed. The AC was great since it was 90 when we got back. The dishwasher leaked when we got there and it wasnt repaired when we were there. Everything else worked fine. We enjoyed the stay and check in was great.
this property was perfect for my partner and i to explore Telluride, Ouray, and Silverton. We also loved walking into downtown Ridgeway to go to the grocery store or get some food at a restaurant.
During our stay, we were able to do the Via Ferrata in Ouray, hangout at the Bluegrass fest in Telluride, and Paddleboard at Ridgeway State Park.
This property was a great place to land after all of our adventures. Very quiet and comfortable. Easy Checkin and Checkout. Bob and Mary Beth were very clear in directions and were very communicative.
