This was possibly the most unique (in a positive sense) travel experiences we have ever had. First of all, the hosts have created a B&B out of the ground floor of their townhouse. The unit can be rented as either a one or two bedroom unit, depending on each guest's needs. The unit is comfortable, clean and modern, and has it's own entrance. Parking is a non-issue since you are the only guest. It's located across from the hot springs and visitors center. We walked into downtown Ouray during the day (took about 10-15 minutes), but felt more comfortable driving at night.
The breakfast (which was fabulous) is served in the host's dining room, one floor up from the guest area.
Connie and Greg (the hosts) are friendly and welcoming. Greg is a retired teacher, mathematician, climbing and canyoneering instructor, general outdoor enthusiast, former US Marine, and Viet Nam veteran. Connie is a transplant from Hong Kong. The story of how they met, and later reconnected, is straight out of Hollywood. Greg and Connie are an absolute wealth of information about the area. They can advise you on everything from the best hikes (in Ouray, Telluride, Ridway, Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP), the best restaurants, the best sightseeing, and the best shopping.
When we checked out on the last day we felt as though we were saying goodbye to two old friends.
