Nice property in the country

Had a great stay- about 5 min from Dolores, 10 min from Cortez on a county road. Good people. Lots of farms, nice sunsets... we would stay here again.

Quiet, Comfortable home away from home

We stayed 3 nights for a family wedding weekend. Great location, centrally located to lots of great options from Telluride to Mesa Verde and all the small towns in the area. Apartment had everything we needed (even coffee and filters that a prior guest mentioned they had to go buy some). Lori and Tim are gracious hosts, willing to provide assistance but not intrusive at all.

We Keep Coming Back

We love staying at this home near Cortez when we regularly visit family living in the area. The home is perfect for our needs and allows us to bring our dogs, which is an extra bonus. It is conveniently located to Cortez, but still in the country with beautiful scenery and wildlife. Lori and Tim are excellent hosts and we appreciate their friendliness.

Comfortable home, great location

We stayed for a couple of nights Thanksgiving week with our two kids. Perfect location for accessing Mesa Verde and other sites of southwest Colorado. The house had everything you need for a relaxing stay. City Market in Cortez supplied the groceries for great meals. The house is cozy and clean. You’ll love it.

Great Place to Stay if Visiting Mesa Vere NP

We had a great stay Lori met us when we checked in. Location is in Dolores but close to Cortez. About 15 minute's from Mesa Verde NP. Each room has a separate air/heater unit. Deer come in the yard in the evening. Had great conversations with Lori, Would stay here again.

Everything was wonderful with Lori and Tim. Communication was great. The property was very clean. Let me tell you that the views are spectacular to cook or sit in the living room and see the mountains and deer wandering by. When we go back to Colorado this is definitely where we will stay....

Easy Access to Mesa Verde

Great location not far from the Mesa Verde National Park. There was some trouble with the water heater not working, but we managed to fix it temporarily ourselves. There was no coffee or sugar for the coffee maker, but Walmart is not far away.

Lots of Space for Kids!

Our young kids (ages 10, 9, 7) really enjoyed the property. The owners, who live on site, were so kind and encouraged our kids to enjoy the huge yard. Owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome. As avid bird watchers, my husband and son added many birds to their life lists. Kids loved the loft beds! You'll have everything you need here. Very close to Mesa Verde, Cortez, Dolores, and Canyon of the Ancients. We also visited Natural Bridges about 2 hours away. Highly recommend!

Lovely space in a lovely place

This home was exactly what we needed and what was advertised - two bedrooms (one with a bunk bed), a pull out couch, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a living space. I don't have any major complaints. There was plenty of toilet paper and bath towels, the shower water was warm and had good pressure, everything was clean, and I'm impressed there tissues in every room! The property was beautiful and was a decent distance from Mesa Verde, Canyonlands of the Ancients, a mountain bike trail, and a couple of small towns. It was easy communicating with the owners too.

Wonderful property, wonderful host!

The accommodations were even better than described, having everything from good wifi to a fully equipped kitchen. The views from our patio were perfect - horses in the pasture with the beautiful mountains in the background. Lori is fantastic and gifted us with delicious peaches from the tree. The location was perfect for visits to Mesa Verde, Canyons of the Ancients, Chaco Canyon, and river and RZR trips in the Bears Ears area, and a field trip to Durango and more. The beds were comfy and having a washer and dryer was great. The hot water was plentiful and the water pressure good - something we haven't always been able to count on at other VRBO locations. The sound of the wind in the trees lulled us to sleep many nights and we already miss "our" Cortez home!

Sanctuary with a view

This home is on the crest of a ridge with a fantastic view of the Cortez valley and mountains in the distance. Deer meander through the yard pruning the trees and shrubs. The house is clean and comfortable. Lori is a generous host.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Cooper

Host profile image
Lori and I met in Grand Canyon where we were both river guides. After a 13 year residence in Uber-rural Torrey, Utah (pop 250) we moved to the metropolis of Dolores/Cortez and bought a 26 acre hayfield. We put in a septic system and bought a 20 year old, 30 foot travel trailer where we lived while I built the 'shop.'

Why they chose this property

The 'Apartment' as we call it, is one wing of the shop building. We and the two kids lived in it for seven years while I scratched together the capital to build the 'dream home' out of pocket. We've been in the house for 12 years now and the kids are gone. In a lot of ways it would make more sense for us to move back into the Apartment and rent out the house. It's got everything you need.

What makes this property unique

Sorry, Montana, these are the best sunsets on earth. 192 degrees of sky. See into three states. The San Juan Mountains are America's Alps and less than a hour to the northeast. You can be at the base of the trail up Mt Wilson, the 14,000 footer featured on the Coors beer can in about the same time as it would take to get to Canyonlands National Park heading the other way. Single-track biking through the pines or the desert, 15 minutes either way. The Dolores River has some fun whitewater a few months of the year and the nearby San Miguel has some genuinely challenging sections. Flyfishing on any number of streams. Lake fishing at the second biggest body of water in Colorado. Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. You can see our placed from the first overlook when you're on top of the Mesa Verde scarp where the big mama cliff dwellings are. In fact, it's probably the coolest place in the world....
