Great pet friendly stay
We had a great stay at the bungalow. It had every amenity you could need and our dogs loved the fenced back yard. As other reviews mentioned you have to back out onto the steeet from the carport but we never really had an issue. We only noticed traffic around 8am and 4pm and it was never an issue. Would definitely stay here again!

Outstanding House in Cortez
This charming, cozy, well-organized, and nicely appointed home was perfect for our three night stay. Jamie and Rodney should provide training to other VRBO hosts on how to prepare and manage a VRBO property! Great instructions and labels in the house. They seem to have thought of everything guests will need.

A Unique Gem
I have been lucky to experience quite a few rental properties all over the World, and the attention to detail in this particular property, is astounding! Every little thing that a guest could need, has been thought about & catered for. Extremely tasteful & clean too. We would thoroughly recommend this property, and the area where it resides, is a place we will never forget.
