Your Secret Escape to the San Juans
A one-bedroom lofted rental that sleeps four and is centrally located in Montrose for easy access to Ouray, Telluride, and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.
Your Ideal Home Base in the San Juans
Whether you are visiting town to get to the National Park, ski in Telluride, or you are a travel nurse assigned to Montrose Regional Health, a remote worker seeking fresh mountain air, or simply in need of executive housing between moves, The Waiting Place is designed for your lifestyle. We offer flexible month-to-month, 3-month, and 6-month furnished rental options. Enjoy all the comforts of an extended stay with high-speed Wi-Fi, a stocked kitchenette, all linens provided with washer and dryer and a peaceful atmosphere—making it one of the premier mid-term rentals in Montrose, CO.
Guest Suitability
To ensure a serene and safe retreat, please note that our property is tailored specifically for adults and older guests. Due to the unfenced natural lily pond, open lofted architecture, and adult-oriented layout, the space is not suitable or safe for children under 12. If for whatever reason, a child younger will be present, please contact us first.

Inside the Space
While Vacations Are Great, We Also Support Unique Uses
Many of our guests are here for reasons that go far beyond a standard holiday. Whether you are in town for a short-term stint, bringing your rig to off-road in the San Juans (one of our absolute favorite activities!), or scouting neighborhoods to house-hunt on the Western Slope, this space is designed to be your flexible home base. We also happily host locals needing a temporary refuge while their floors are getting remodeled, or anyone simply craving a quick escape to unplug from the "real world." Life gets messy, unpredictable, and loud—but The Waiting Place is calm.
