Our family loved staying here. The space was a perfect home base between the Ute Mountain Tribal Park and Mesa Verde National Park. The outdoor areas were beautiful, and we loved getting to eat our meals in the shade, watching the hummingbirds zoom by. Michelle has such a lovely property, and it's clear she cares for it so much. Everything was clean and comfortable, and there was plenty of room for us to relax after our days in the park. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat and would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Excellent property, great location for exploring Mesa Verde. Michelle was very welcoming and offered us some food recommendations for the local area. The photos do not do this place justice - super cute and quirky. The walk behind the back of the property allowed us to get some great sunrise shots too.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Eagle

Host profile image
Deerhaven guest Cottage, Grizzly Rose guest Cottage and the Bears Den studio apartment are located at Ravensnest. The property was originally owned by my parents and is considered our home place. I purchased it in 1989 from my parents and I have created an incredible Spirit of place. My parents both worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs and dedicated their lives to working on Native Reservations. They were both detailed to Mescalero Apache Reservation. The home was vacant and decided to purchase and created my incredible space. I have dedicated 30 years working in the Arctic Circle helping to provide dental services to the Native Children. I am honored and humbled by my work and am profoundly greatful for the that opportunity.

Why they chose this property

Ravensnest is situated between the backside of Mesa Verde and the front view of the Sleeping Ute Mountain in the valley south of Cortez. Panoramic views of the entire Valley can be seen on the property. Magical sunsets and superb stargazing can be seen while enjoying your spiritual retreat.

What makes this property unique

Ravensnest has a labyrinth, a traditional medicine wheel, and a ceremonial tipi. There is a shrine, reflecting ponds, koi ponds and peace gardens to connect to the universe.
