Nicely renovated garage apartment. Clean and quiet. Very close to Mesa Verde National Park. Had to drive a bit for food and supplies. Overall, a good experience.
This is a wonderful place to stay while visiting Mesa Verde National Park. The house has everything we need and is very comfortable.Mancos is a charming town to explore.
The area was great. The stars at night were gorgeous. They supply chairs to sit on outside so we could enjoy the views. In the morning we saw deer around the property and it was just the absolute gorgeous and relaxing stay.
The vrbo was perfect to stay at for going to Mesa Verde and Chimney Rock. It was quiet, clean and the perfect size, with all necessary amenities. It made our vacation very enjoyable. Mike and Erin were very prompt with any questions and very friendly also.
This is one of the cleanest and most comfortable VRBO's we have stayed at. The location was perfect for a visit to Mesa Verde. The stars at night are incredible at this location!! Thanks Erin!
The house was absolutely perfect for our trip. We had plans to do two guided tours at Mesa Verde National Park early the next morning. The house is literally just a few minutes from the park’s entrance. It was very inviting and lovely. Couldn’t have been any better, seriously! Many thanks to the owners.
Very clean, well stocked kitchen, central location.
This is a very clean, relatively new, separate building in a very central location for the four corners region. Right outside Mesa Verde NP. The hosts are very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions or issues. I highly recommend this apartment.
We loved staying here! Mike and Erin's property felt private and quiet. It was clean, and had all the amenities we could ask for. The proximity to Mesa Verde was fantastic, just a 5 minute drive, and 8 minutes into Mancos for groceries and restaurants. They were very communicative, and check-in/out instructions were clear and simple. They were also very responsive with the couple of questions we had during our stay. Thanks for a great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay here, this is a perfectly suited location to explore Mesa Verde. The property is clean, newer, and in a beautiful area. And it is dog friendly! It would be great to stay for a longer time. The only reason I don’t give it all five stars is that it seemed that a kitchen inventory was overdue. It was missing some of the basics like salt and pepper, a set of wine glasses, and the cupboards were haphazard. Lots of some things, none of others. Also the 2 person table was wobbly and there could be something nicer there like a small gate leg table that could be folded out when needed. Bed was super comfy, and we were glad we picked it.
If you like quiet and serene this is the place. Plenty of space for the two of us. Clean and comfortable. Wonderful views both day and night. The milky way was visible from the location. We traveled to Mesa Verde, Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Telluride, and Moab from this location. This was our first time in this area of the US so we tried to take in all we could. If you like having shopping and restaurants within a short drive this is not the location for you. For us, we enjoy the remoteness and cooked our breakfast every morning. In Mancos there is a brewery that we were not able to try but we did get a good pizza from the local pizza place and highly recommend Moon Dog Cafe. They have one of the best key lime pies. Just check the hours. Places tend to close early. Highly recommend this rental and location.
Great space for 2, just outside Mesa Verde, close to Mancos for services. Well insulated unit, comfy sofa and lazyboy, and great kitchen. Bed comfortable and double nightstands and lamps appreciated. Easy checkin, would recommend
Extremely close to the entrance of Mesa Verde National Park, and nestled between the towns of Cortez and Mancos. The guest house was perfectly clean, and the layout was adorable. Would highly suggest anyone to stay here. An extra high-point for us, was the fact that it was also pet-friendly.
The rental is clean and comfortable. It worked perfectly for our overnight stay. It's very close to the Mesa Verde NP and a great starting point for our trip to Four Corners the following morning. I didn't check my email or app before I left home on check in day so I missed Erin's instructions to check the site for the correct directions. Thankfully, she saw us driving to the neighbors and driving aimlessly and contacted me. Don't rely on Google for directions.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this rental. Erin is very easy to work with, hospitable, and easy to talk to.
The view was it was amazing and peaceful. The night skies were beautiful. This was our third stop on a 10 day journey and got the best sleep here cause it was so relaxing. Would come again if I’m back out in this area, thanks Mike and Erin.
Showed up early to confirm location before heading to Mesa Verde , met w/owner who was clearing off drive access and parking spot next to guest house , provided advice on where to eat as well , nice people , the house was spotless, bed was comfortable and shower was hot . I would be very happy to return to this location!
