Great Place to Stay
Wonderful home that was perfectly furnished for our family vacation to Mesa Verde National Park. Very quite location and the home was very clean. We would recommend this home to anyone that is looking for a modern home that is well maintained. Made our family vacation more relaxing by having a great place to come back to every night.!!
Great spot, new construction
We arrived in the dark and definitely could have used better directions as it’s new construction mapping software did not put it in the right spot- the last house at the end of the dark road. There are really no visible numbers on the other homes, and when we finally found it, the light was on and it did have numbers but it took a few. Found the lock box as described and found the home beautiful and clean inside. But no toilet paper!! We searched in every closet, cabinet, but no luck leaving us running out late at night to the thankfully open shopping area nearby.
Upon waking in the morning, we found the beautiful views out the back windows of the master and living room- really stunning.
Everything was in working order and there were the right odds and ends in the kitchen to start- sugar salt and some condiments, which is always helpful.
The master BR has a huge new memory foam bed and sprawling size with no furniture. A dresser or something could help. In the bathroom w the fabulous shower is a large walk-in closet with place to unpack.
While the shower was amazing, one normal shower took all the hot water. With four of us, it was unfortunate that we didn’t know that ahead of time.
Laundry room had great new washer and dryer and there was detergent, much appreciated!!
In the second bedroom w the queen bed, the mattress sunk in the middle and our friends found that one very uncomfortable.
The patient in the back looked out over the Mesas in the distance. While we didn’t plan on being outside after hiking all day, there wasn’t really furniture there, we didn’t mind but worth noting.
They disclose up front that there is a camera that is turned off when renting- front door and LR, but it was a little creepy seeing it looking over us in the LR even so.
Summary: *great* place! I would certainly go back. Just a few glitches.
Perfect!
Home was perfect for our family! Highly recommend for anyone visiting 4 Corners area. Mesa Verde is only a few miles away. View from patio is amazing. Accommodations were exactly what we were hoping for!!
Highly recommend! We loved our stay and hope to re-visit in the future.
The house has a modern, open layout with large windows that overlook a valley with views of the LaPlata mountains and Mesa Verde. Everything we could need (or want) was provided: central location, off-street parking, tasteful furnishings, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, ample seating and storage, and a laundry room.
Owner was very attentive and quickly responded to all communication.
Beautiful, very clean, great design and great views!
We shared space with a total of 5 adults very comfortably. Our visit to Mesa Verde was made easy as the start and end of the day was spent leisurely with home cooked meals enjoyed with the outstanding view of the mountains and a memorable sunset.
Great Home Base for CO & Utah Adventures
We were able to spend time at Mesa Verde NP, Arches NP and Cayonlands NP. Also the San Juan Skyway is beautiful - Telluride and Silverton have lots of Jeep roads. Very nice and clean house. The view is awesome.
