You can hike, bike or ride from here to many incredible spots just nearby, including to the base of Mesa Verde. Not to mention, we have a private gate to Phil's world - the mountain biking mecca!

This is an original parcel that predates the highway and is loaded with artifacts and evidence of the wild west. Keep your eyes peeled when adventuring around the property!

Pet the horses, hike to the canyons behind us, and explore to your hearts content. Sunset strolls are highly recommended! We have detailed knowledge of the vast wilderness surrounding our spot!
Please ask for hiking and local recommendations!

Amazing! The property was beautiful, the Dome was super cool, and we used the private access to bike the nearby trail system. The owners' dogs and horses visited us each day and were very friendly.

We stayed at the Mesa Verde dome traveling from Arches National Park to Durango, Co. We wish we had booked an extra day. The host’s communication was welcoming, thorough, and attentive. The dome was perfectly cozy on a very cold night, and the property’s friendly farm dogs were a highlight.

amazing stay

We loved our night here. they provided everything we needed and communication with our hosts was great. after a long day of traveling, we needed a night to take a break and relax and this place provided the best backdrop to do so. there was plenty of place that our kids to explore and unwind. A night of perfect stargazing provided the most amazing experience. our morning hike on a trail that was recommended by the host was also a memorable experience. Highly recommended.

Stunning views!

Wow! Such a beautiful location. - very easy to find - we easily fit 2 adults and three kids. Place was cozy and well equipped. We loved the fire pit outside and really enjoyed at night - looking at the stars. There is heating and we were plenty warm. The toilet is a bio toilet so took a bit of getting used to but totally fine! We really wished we had more time to stay there!

off grid and lovely

Communication with host was great. The dome is all off grid and they even called to make sure I knew to read all the instructions for operating everything. There was definitely a learning curve, but the instructions were thorough.Kitchen was fully equipped with necessities. At night, you can see the stars through the clear top of the dome from the comfort of the bed. So wonderful! My boys enjoyed the sauna, darts, and the horse just randomly wandering by!Property is very private, but not far from town. Definitely would stay here again.
