About this property
Twisted Cedars Ranch: Rest, Restore, Relax in mountain style.
If you're looking for a peaceful spot with beautiful views of the mountains this is the place to be. Unwind in a private guest house located on ten acres with beautiful views of the La Plata Mountains, trees and wildlife. There is a large living room with a wood burning stove, a full kitchen and a quaint pub table for two which overlooks the La Plata Mountains. An additional pullout futon is available for sleeping. TV, WiFi, movies, books and games are also available. The bedroom has a queen size bed and private bathroom. Please note: The outside door pictured to the left of the main door of the guest house is a private door to a garage, it is not a second guest house and not accessible to guests. During the summer months the porch has two comfy chairs to sit on to watch humming birds, with great views of the mountains. Mesa Verde National Park is a little over 3 miles away. Phil’s World, a mountain bike paradise is 5 miles away. The city of Cortez is 13 miles away, the city of Mancos is 11 miles away and the city of Durango is 39 miles away. **4 wheel drive or all wheel drive is recommended during winter months **

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Heather and Chad Johnston
Chad worked for over 25 years in the dental field and currently enjoys working for a local hardware store in Cortez. Heather is a teacher and counselor for the deaf and an essential oils educator. We both love spending time outdoors. Chad is an avid outdoors-man and Heather enjoys mountain biking, hiking, and trail running.
Why they chose this property
City life just didn't suit us anymore. We were looking for something quiet, peaceful and on lots of private land. We love the peace and quiet this property lends. We have access to a huge outdoor playground which is wonderful.
What makes this property unique
This location is close to three cities which offer a variety of events and services. In the summer there are Farmer's Markets and Donkey Parades in Mancos, Durango has the Silverton Train, rafting on the Animas River and Cortez has mountain biking and the Mesa Verde National Park. In the wintertime Purgatory Ski Resort is in Durango.
