Our very first stay in a bnb and the stay was amazing and the hosts very sweet. Very very clean. Needs a couple rails in the bathroom for handicap visitors. Smelled a bit of cigarette smoke but not bad. Very nice kitchen and the views are amazing!

Sadly this July there has been a major wildfire north of us in Utah that affected the air quality during your stay. We have been very fortunate in that we have never found any sign that past guests have ignored our strict no smoking policy on the property. It was lovely to be a part of your travels with your 94 year old mother and we’d love to visit with you again!

Gus and his wife were delightful guests! We really enjoyed connecting and introducing them to our horses. They were considerate, respectful, and left the place spotless. We'd love to host them again! (Gus was rated five stars not four. Accidentally clicked four stars on House rules).

Was in the area to see Mesa Verde and the property was out of the way but convenient which is what we were looking for. Wonderful apartment, nicely stocked with items we didn’t expect, nice owner and the horses loved the carrots we brought them. Would definitely stay here again

The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It was a secure location which was important to us since we had equipment in our truck and trailer. Would definitely suggest to others in particular traveling out west to hunt.

My husband and I stayed here for 10 days while we explored the Four Corners area. The location, accommodations, the hosts, and the proximity to all the Four Corners has to offer could not have been better. We cannot imagine a better place to stay.

VRBO in Cortez

A wonderful stay! Quiet, clean and a very friendly host. Just far enough out of Cortez to relax and get away from the traffic and noise. We would highly recommend staying here & will keep this on our list if we travel in that area again. Thank you to the hosts for providing a very accurate description and a truly enjoyable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Karly Roszko

Host profile image
Karly and I love the southwest and spend our free time exploring new places on mountain bikes or horses. When we’re home you’re likely to find us irrigating pasture or working cattle. Come check out the ranch!

Why they chose this property

Quiet farm and ranch neighborhood very close to town and Phil’s World mountain bike trails

What makes this property unique

Bald eagles, golden eagles, and ravens love to hang out in the neighboring cottonwoods. Quiet nights with the occasional hooting owl.
