What's special

This cabin is located up on Elk Ridge Trail. Several home sites line this road. It has been a very profitable short- term rental for many years. It is a 2- bedroom with 1 full bath. The bedroom downstairs is a queen, and the loft can accommodate several beds. This cabin was built by Ted Moews, a well-known master log home builder. The current owners have kept the cabin in excellent condition throughout the years. Views from the cabin and deck look north to the valley and east of mountains surrounding Ouray. The short-term rental permit is not transferable, and you will have to contact the Ouray County Short-Term Rental Planner for current vacancy and guidelines
