As the sun sets, unwind by taking a leisurely stroll on one of the many developed trails or paths on the property, where you can admire the ancient juniper trees that have twisted and turned over the centuries.
From the covered, furnished porch, you can also admire the surrounding nature. The scenic views showcase how geologically diverse southwest Colorado is and are sure to put your mind at ease.

Nice comfy cabin. New doors and windows and a kitchen update are needed. The “queen” bed in one bedroom is actually two twin or full pushed together. Outdoor space is lovely and you feel as if you’re all alone up there. The highway noise is noticeable. Nice area.
First, the person handling a rental is critical to a good experience. Carla was super gracious in offering to assist with my checkin. And when I ran out of propane it was filled within hours. The house sits on top of a mesa with lovely views to the east, south and west. It is 20 to 30 minutes from Mesa Verde National Park and about 45 minutes from Durango. It is relatively small, one bath and 2 bedrooms. Has a great deck. But the house is fairly close to Highway 145 that runs from Cortez to Delores to Telluride so the traffic noise is noticeable.
This is a comfortable home in a great location. We stayed here because it is so close to Mesa Verde NP. The deck is great for dinner outside with a beautiful view!
This house has one of the most amazing outdoor spaces of any property that we have stayed at. The kids enjoyed being able to run around the property while the adults grilled out dinner and gazed at the stars. The bonus suite downstairs was perfect for the parents to retreat to while the kids slept in the two rooms upstairs. We will be back!
The property was beautiful and had the most amazing views. However, we spent a good portion of our visit killing bugs (moths, horse flies, ants, etc.). The house was not thoroughly cleaned and the stove didn't work properly. The owner and property manager were lovely people, but the house needs a deep cleaning and appliances need updating.
Rented same property last October so not new to area love the house an views are fabulous
The house was just as described. Had everything we needed. Spacious and beautiful. Gorgeous views. All the amenities we needed. We LIVED out on the huge deck. The owner was extremely attentive to our needs. Would definitely come back.
An absolutely awesome setting and prime location for exploring this region of Colorado. House is comfortable and our host, Phyllis could not have been more accommodating. Highly recommend.
The property was every bit as good as the pictures. It has good proximity to Mesa Verde National Park (our primary target) and to nearby small towns. If anything, it was more private than I expected.
Magnificent property. Everything as represented and more. Clean and well maintained. Multiple views, all stunning. We stay in lots of vacation rentals, over 30 years now, and this one is top tier. Tony & Connie Republic of Texas
