Nice place, one towel hanging as clean had a sh@! Stain running down the middle of it, said it had air conditioning and just had a cooling fan, wanted to take an Rodin salt bath but the plunger in the tub didn't work. Other than those things, clean and a great location. Honestly would stay there again.

Ouray beautiful but property was just OK

I had certain things on my check list that I was looking for. AC was top of my list due to us traveling to Colorado before and knowing it can get hot. We were notified after check in that there was no AC and we had a fan that would blow over ice cubes. It was 80* with this fan. On 2nd day the door knob fell off the spare room and locked us out. We were advised they would come on Monday to fix it. We eventually had to break into the room by taking off both sides of door knobs. My husband was able to get it back open using some kitchen utensils. No one ever showed up and no communication was ever received. We left Fri. The city was amazing I’ll be back but I would not rent here again. Considering the exact place is being discounted online I would have thought at the least some money back would have been offered.

Great stay!

The Laughing Magpie was the perfect place for our family of four. Cozy, comfortable, and clean. It was a welcome refuge after eventful days of hiking, shopping, touring, and exploring. Check-in and check-out were easy compared to some of the other methods we’ve experienced in the past. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone wanting a simple, cozy place to stay.

Cozy Great location!

We stayed for a long weekend with our daughter and their wife. If you can't do stairs, this is NOT the condo for you. It is on the smaller side with an apartment size refrigerator and stove, but we made it work. The gas woodstove was perfect for our wintery stay. Check-in was hampered due to our struggle with the lock and we did not have any cell phone reception in order to get in touch with the management. We finally figured it out and all was good. The shower does run VERY hot, but with a little finesse we adjusted it to what worked for us. Location is one block to the main street and lots of shopping, restaurants and a fantastic wine bar!

Fall Roadtrip

Really enjoyed our stay at the Laughing Magpie. Very comfortable and well equipped. Location was perfect for all we wanted to do. Fall colors were beautiful at our time there. We did off-roading until mid day, then enjoyed the town the rest of the day.. Easy walk to local restaurants, etc. Ouray has so much to offer. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Easy access to downtown Ouray

My group of four adults enjoyed our stay at this quaint two bedroom condo in Ouray. It was walking distance to the shops and restaurants. An easy drive to the waterfall and other trailheads (even though it's close to the trails, it's best to drive as there isn't a shoulder to walk on.) FYI that almost all businesses close by 9pm.

Disappointed about the bedding

1) the small twin beds were both very wobbly, impossible to sleep in. Some trash from the previous stay. 2) you do get burned with the shower before you figure it out. 3) i couldn't watch the regular channels on the tv. If not, the location and all the rest was very good
