Wonderful stay at this peaceful oasis with all of the comforts of home. Near beautiful Mesa Verde Park. The view out the back of the entire home was spectacular! The bedrooms were comfortable along with the living areas and back patio. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Clean, comfortable, no nonsense home with stunning views. We were very happy to discover that the kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils. And only 15 minutes from the Mesa Verde visitor center. Would recommend.
House was perfect, very clean and well stocked. Host was very responsive. Incredible views in a very quiet neighborhood. We even had deer in our backyard. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
We had a wonderful stay at this home! The house was very clean, comfortable, and located in a nice neighborhood with a beautiful view out the back. It was the perfect size for our group of 4 adults and 2 kids, and everyone had plenty of space to relax.The location was also very convenient as it was close to Walmart and just a short drive to Mesa Verde National Park entrance and a great option for other points of interest in the Four Corners area, which made exploring the area easy. We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting the area and would gladly stay here again!
The home is in a great location with a beautiful view. It was clean, well equipped, and suited our needs well. We would definitely stay again. The owner was responsive and helpful.
Beautiful home! Had everything we needed in the kitchen. Clean and bright with wonderful views. Will likely use again when coming into town to visit family. Thanks!
This property and Cortez in general is in a central location for all the beautiful and interesting sites in the region. Wonderful views from the property.
Property was clean, nicely decorated and well stocked to cook full meals for group of 6 adults. Quiet neighborhood, great views for sunrise and sunset.
House is located in quiet neighborhood on the edge of town with beautiful views of Mesa Verde out the back of the house and of the Sleeping Ute mountain out front. Very convenient location for visiting Mesa Verde, Durango, Hovenweep, etc. Also convenient to restaurants and stores of Cortez. And, very well stocked kitchen and bedding. Highly recommend.
