A Letter from the Innkeepers of the Clipper Inn
Welcome to the China Clipper Inn Bed & Breakfast located in Ouray, also known as the Switzerland of America. Centrally located in Southwestern Colorado, Ouray is the perfect basecamp for your explorations. Whether you want to discover the peaks and valleys of the San Juan Mountains by hiking or biking, wander through ancient Native American ruins, visit national parks, or ride on a historic steam train, Ouray is a perfect point of departure for daily adventures. We hope to be the perfect place to rest and rejuvenate after the day’s travels.
After many years in the hospitality industry, we have decided to search for a different home. We are excited to live in Ouray and welcome you by providing our special brand of hospitality! The property is absolutely gorgeous and we feel very blessed that we have the opportunity and privilege to take care of such a charming home. Everything about it is magical… From the history of the house, to the small mountain town, to the breath-taking mountain views and the beautiful trails. The moment we drove into Ouray we fell in love with the town and community and when we walked into the house it felt like we had come home. With exceptional culinary experience and attention to detail, we strive to deliver the best every time.
This place has it all!… It provides rest and relaxation for guests longing to escape, celebrate special occasions or looking to explore natures wonders. Ouray is a quaint historic mountain town with beautiful restored Victorian homes surrounded by the San Juan Mountains. When you walk through the doors of The Clipper Inn it is like stepping back in time. The Clipper is a place of rest, retreat and memories. Whether you want to experience the numerous activities found nearby, read that special book, get reacquainted with that special person in your life or just relax and stroll the historic shops and dine in our wonderful restaurants. Our goal is to make this experience your best ever.
