Book a retreat at China Clipper Inn for a memorable getaway in Ouray!
Beautiful home in a wonderful little town. We spent a month in southern Colorado and agreed that Ouray was our favorite. The Clipper Inn feels like walking back in time. It is a lovely old treasure! Our room was cute, our bed was comfy, and breakfast was delicious. We couldn’t have asked for more!
A beautiful Bed & Breakfast, perfect location.
We had a wonderful stay at The Clipper Inn for our anniversary. The staff was so friendly, attentive and guest orientated. Every morning breakfast was freshly made and delicious. The surroundings are clean and taken care of. We used the hottub which was very well maintained and clean. We met other guests who were enjoying the Inn just as much, spending breakfast having great conversation. The location is ideally located just a block from downtown and an easy stroll to Box Cañon waterfall. We had quick responses from ataff whenever we had a question or request. We found the Inn very accommodating. The town has a wonderfully rich history. Definitely visit the museum which used to be the town hospital. The scenery will leave you breathless with its beauty. We'll definitely return if our travels bring us to Ouray again.
Totally enjoyed our stay
Our 5 night stay in room 20 at the China Clipper Inn was so enjoyable. The room was large; very comfortable and new bed; loved the in-room jacuzzi tub. We used the hot tub several times: very clean and relaxing. Breakfasts were delicious, filling, and fun. Perfect location right by downtown. Innkeeper Kristin is attentive, kind, knowledgeable of local and nearby attractions, and committed to the Inn's longterm success.
Have been twice b4 and now 3rd time. It’s a very nice “old timey” place. Nice people, close to everything.
We have been here b4. Nice “old timey place” good hosts and close to everything. We go to see fall colors. Will definitely go again.
A great inn experience in the San Juan Mountains.
A great comfortable in right in the middle of Ouray. With great breakfasts and a short walk to the center of town. Great hosts. Comfortable room and bed. What more could you want?
Excellent all around!
My husband and I stayed here for one night in room 7. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The room was better than pictured online and we really liked the deck just outside the room for dinner, drinks, and coffee. Ainsley was so hospitable, made us a delicious breakfast that she served to us on the deck in the morning. Excellent all around and hope to be back!
