360 Views! Walk To Main Street and Hot Springs Pool! Relax And Enjoy The View
VIEWS! VIEWS! VIEWS! The best Ouray has to offer! 4th of July fireworks front seat!
ASPEN HOUSE, an historic cabin with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, sleeps up to 8 people in a king, two queens, and a daybed with trundle. One of the home’s two bathrooms is closed during the winter months due to its location (outside the mudroom).
Although our home’s historic charm is a key draw, there is no shortage of modern-day conveniences like WiFi and satellite TV, a full kitchen, washer/dryer, pellet stove, and electric heat. There is parking for up to three small vehicles in the driveway, and street parking is also available during the summer.
ASPEN HOUSE is also known as the George Wright House, built in 1878, and is steps away from historic sites and great adventures. The cabin's quaint structure is located on Historic Oak Street, which runs along the Uncompahgre River and is part of the Perimeter Trail. Its quaint white structure sits approximately one-quarter mile from the Box Canon Falls, Ouray Ice Park, and Main Street shops and restaurants.
The unobstructed views from ASPEN HOUSE are second to none! Look over Ouray, Cascade Falls, Chief Ouray Mine and many other landmarks including the beautiful, towering peaks (including Mt. Abram, Mt. Hayden and the Amphitheater) that surround this tiny mountain town. Watch wildlife from every room. All rooms have views!
ASPEN HOUSE is just 1/2 mile from the historic non-sulfur Ouray Hot Springs Pool where soaking pools, 25 meter lap lanes, gym facilities, massage spa, and snack bar can be enjoyed…and the pool is next to Fellin Park...baseball diamond, basketball court, gazebo, playground, and paved running track. Walk out the door and find your way to many hiking trails, mining ruins and even ghost towns. Ouray is known as the Jeep Capital of the World, Gem of the Rockies, and begins the beautiful Million Dollar Highway (Highway 550) through the San Juan Mountains to Silverton. Check for the many things you can do!

About the host
Hosted by Tamara or Bruce Gulde
Bruce and Tamara Gulde have lived in Ouray, Colorado for 14 years. They own retail shops and a wholesale business on Main Street (talk to them about discounts you may receive at their store). They are transplants from Long Beach, California with Colorado roots (their moms) and discovered Ouray over 17 years ago while driving north on Highway 550 to Snowmass to a running event after a brief backpack trip at Crater Lake out of Lake Andrew. After deciding to move to this tiny mining town, they purchased their home (built in 1888) in Ouray on the internet and then discovered that Tamara's great grandmother was eternally resting in the Ouray Cemetery, her daughter (Tamara's great aunt) had worked in the historic Beaumont Hotel.
What makes this property unique
ASPEN HOUSE, fully furnished, has an energy about it that is peaceful and relaxing. It was originally a log cabin built by Edward W. McIntyre, owner of the Trout and Fisherman Lodes, in 1878. George and Lenora Wright purchased the cabin in 1879 (George struck it rich on the Wheel of Fortune Lode in the Mt. Sneffels area in 1877) and covered it with white siding a year or so later. The bay windows were added sometime after 1901. George Wright eventually managed and owned the historic Wright Opera House on Main Street. Sitting in the Adirondack chairs or a rocking chair on the front porch enjoying the morning sun or afternoon shade is fun and engaging as hikers and walkers pass by enjoying the Ouray view and Victorian homes that line the narrow road. Cascade Falls, across town, is visible from most rooms in the house and the porch. It is one of two waterfalls accessible in town and flows clear and white in the spring, periodically chocolate brown during the Monsoon rains in July and August, a trickle in the fall and then freezes in the winter. The view the 4th of July fireworks from the ASPEN HOUSE porch is second to none. Watch the amphitheater turn crimson, a moonrise from the porch, and vehicles climb the Million Dollar Highway at night.
