Alpenglow Vacation Rentals Ouray CO - Ouray, Colorado

We travel tremendously and just finished staying here a full week. We had our whole family and wanted to stay together so at the recommendation of the booking staff we booked the largest unit at Alpenglow and another add on one bedroom unit. Both units had non working shampoo/ conditioner in the shower. When we arrived there was a handrail broken and blinds that had fallen that we fixed ourselves for privacy. Our biggest disturbance and the reason we would not recommend returning is THE BEDS are horrible! These beds are by far the worst beds I’ve slept on since church camp in 3rd grade. The bed itself was very hard and made for sleepless nights and a very cranky vacation. The linens were not sufficient and left us very chilly in the evenings… and the temperature in this condo is only controlled by 2 window units so summer gets hot. Needs work.

I have stayed in several units, from 1-3 bedrooms, and will keep going back. They have all been very clean and well kept. Renting the three bedroom with the garage was the best deal by far. Such great space, with lots of privacy having three levels in the home. Garage was a luxury to be able to dump ice gear in after a long day and not have to struggle scraping morning ice from the car. Such a convenient location to everything in town. Really wish the hotsprings were included in the price, or at least discounted. Will be staying there again in a few weeks!

Got a bad vibe before staying. Had all of my friends document the condition of the condo before and after the stay. We were barely in his condo. Dishes were washed, trash was taken out, bed sheets rolled up per instructions. He left a review of me on Air BnB insinuating we trashed his place. There’s an upfront $300 cleaning fee. He said it “took him 2 extra hours to clean.” Give me a break. I have a video of the condition of the condo before we left. Ouray needs to kick this guy out. Not good for the city. Don’t book with him.

We had a very pleasant stay in Cascade 07 during the second week of June. We found the unit just as described on the website. It was very clean, well-equipped, and made for a great home away from home. There were a few minor things that could be improved but we would absolutely consider renting from Alpenglow again.

No shampoo, conditioner, paper towels, or half the things you’d expect. After 2 days of using the 4 towels they gave us in a 3 bedroom unit they wouldn’t give us clean towels. Never seen service this poor. Also would t let us use the hot tub/spring that was onsite even though it’s advertised when you rent the place. How do places like this stay in business? Fascinating.

If you're fortunate to read this before renting, or cancel if you can, please heed this warning.  Unit #1 is currently listed on Air B-&-B for over $300/nite total price.  The problem is this host is totally irresponsible!  They soaked the apartment in foul, harsh, nauseating, cleaning chemicals, creating a problem before our arrival. When advised of the problem, the host did nothing but offer excuses and apologies.  After frank and lengthy wrangling, the host gave a pittance in "token of apology".  This insult did not begin to cover the true economic cost of our ruined holiday.  No full refund was requested, just an actual amount to recover from the lost days and wasted time in dealing with the host's huge mistakes.  There are other issues with this host, but I will leave you to take your chances, if you dare.

Rented a condo here first week of June. My family, older siblings, girlfriends, and father. Place was clean. Location was convenient. Kitchen was good to have because a lot of restaurants in Ouray close early this time of year. Was a little disapointed the hot tub, and sauna were closed or out of order. would have been nice after a day of hiking and climbing. My brother and dad shared the pull out couch. My bro said he could barely sleep on it. We had unit #11 so be aware of that. Mediocre stay but it fit all our needs for a quick two nighter. I'd probably look elsewhere in the future as I plan to come back in the winter for as week to climb at the ice park.

For $170-ish a night, I wasn't expecting much. But that's pretty much what we got. We stayed in Unit 2. Units 1 and 9 are in the same building. There's a for sale sign outside which isn't a real confidence builder. Walked in on the first evening and the wall-mounted air conditioner was pouring, not dripping, pouring water out of it. Tried calling the desk that I just checked into 5 minutes prior with no answer. Found out the drain tube outside was pointed up for some reason so I just fixed it myself. Also noted that both skylights on the roof were open and dripping rainwater into the floor. Then on day 3 out refrigerator started filling up with water in the bottom rack and leaking all over the floor. Called the office during business hours with no response. Called the after hours number and left a voicemail describing the problem, with my callback info. No callback. It's still just dripping on the floor.

The bathroom could be nice if other guests treated nicely. It's been remodeled, but someone before us ripped the towel rack off the wall. Also the shower is some old-time wannabe gadgetry. It doesn't leak or anything, but the shower head is at chin level. Why do places do that? I wanna wash above my shoulders too! Other than that the bathroom was pretty good.

Rooms are kinda what I expected size wise. Nothing fancy, but doable. If you're spending time inside while vacationing in ouray, you're doing it wrong. Beds all suck. I've never found a good bed in Ouray. Maybe there's an ordinance against them. Or I'm cheap and pick the wrong places.

All the Windows have blinds, but 1/3 of them either don't shut properly, are bent to hell, or hanging by one screw from the header.

Other than that, it was clean, in a great location, had good parking, and would make a great place with a little work. But I can see why it's for s ale.

Meanwhile, my friends in a building next door, also an alpenglow, there's was like brand new with tons of space. No air conditioning though. So Weird.

In the End, now that i know about these, Id stay again but request a different building.
