Great location, was very quite and a great place to rest up between time in the mountains. Showers had great pressure and hot water! Will stay again when we’re back in town!

Ouray Inn was amazing! The view was top notch, which ever way you looked! The host, Carmen and Brett were fantastic! The proximity in town couldn’t have been better! Walked everywhere we wanted to go! The rooms were very clean! We were in Ouray for our son's wedding. Some of the wedding party stayed here and a few others made a reservation at another places in town. When we meet each day a talked about breakfast, the ones that stayed other places we jealous because of what we had for breakfast. Each day was great! My grandson as well as us adults loved the cookies each afternoon! I would highly recommend Ouray Inn and would definitely stay here again! Thanks again Carmen and Brett for your GREAT hospitality!

Great place to stay in Ouray especially if you’re bringing a pup along! The location and price are both excellent and they provide complimentary breakfast as well as wine and cookies each day. The service was on point and the owners are very responsive and kind. Highly recommend!

Who We Are

Hello!  We are Christian and Kaytie Evans, the owners of the Ouray Inn!

We're from Littleton, CO and Ogden, UT respectively.  We met while in college in Hawaii and until recently we managed a boutique resort on Vieques, a small island in the Caribbean. While we loved the island life, the mountains have always felt like home. So when the opportunity to purchase this family owned and operated Inn came up, we jumped.  Our evening walks on the beach with our 3 kids turned into hikes on one of the many nearby trails and we love it!

When not at the Inn, Kaytie can be found riding horses, playing the piano or doing a puzzle and Christian is usually buzzing around in small airplanes and helicopters. We love Ouray for the small town feel, dirt roads, cute shops and delicious restaurants.  And with the hot springs, countless trails (for hiking, biking and 4WD) and the ice climbing park in the winter, there is always something to do!

We take pride in our little Inn and look forward to providing a comfortable and clean place for guests to relax and rest.

On Site Hosts

Brett and Carmen Smith- InnKeepers

Brett and I are thrilled to be your on-site hosts. We are globe trotters who are taking a break from international traveling to enjoy you, our guests, and experience life in this magical area of the San Juan Mountains. We are the primary faces you will see behind the desk, and we will be here to greet you at check-in. We are happy to get coffee on and breakfast ready and are quick to respond to any on-site needs you may encounter. We love chatting with guests about the local must-dos and are happy to have endless conversations about local hiking trails.

We are both native to South Dakota. We met at Black Hills State University where we graduated and married shortly after. We have been enjoying our voluntarily childless lifestyle for the past 27 years.

We have been entrepreneurs running our own business, including an organic coffee roasting company and an ice cream joint. About ten years ago we jumped into a very nontraditional lifestyle. We sold nearly every single thing we owned and purchased a home on Roatan Island in the Western Caribbean. Off we went with just 4 suitcases and our pup, Charlie.
The innkeepers

We lived on Roatan Island on and off for seven years. If we weren’t enjoying the craziness of island life we were traveling internationally.

Our first love is experiencing other cultures while traveling, but we also enjoy the outdoors, walking, yoga, the Cincinnati Bengals, golfing, and anything water-related. You will always find a snorkel in our backpacks; however, we have temporarily put that away for hiking boots and camping gear.

As your on-site hosts, we are looking forward to experiencing Ouray and all the perks that come with living in this area. We will be as accommodating as we possibly can to make your experience comfy, chill, and genuine.
