What a wonderful few days we had at Nancy and Tom’s beautiful home! From the moment we arrived, we felt comfortable and welcomed. The home is lovely, but what we will remember most is the incredible sense of peace—the beautiful views, the quiet surroundings, and having a place where we could truly slow down and just enjoy being together.We loved sitting outside taking in the scenery, exploring Mancos, Mesa Verde and Cortez, and then coming back to such a comfortable and relaxing home. It was exactly the kind of getaway we had hoped for.Nancy and Tom were gracious and thoughtful hosts, and their warmth made our stay feel even more special. We came away rested, grateful, and with some very sweet memories of our time together.Thank you, Nancy and Tom, for sharing your beautiful little corner of Colorado with us. We would happily stay again and wholeheartedly recommend it to others.

A jewel. Nancy and Tom were wonderful hosts and the cabin was just what we were looking for. It was a beautiful location, off the beaten path, close to so many things we wanted to do, and the cabin was just perfect. We had the most wonderful time there and hope we can come back again soon.

Wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our stay, it was one of the highlights of our trip! The house was clean and comfortable, and we loved having dinner on the deck overlooking the meadow and mountains, watching the sunset (Zuma Foods has great prepared food to go). It was also a great location for going to Mesa Verde and Telluride.

This is absolutely an enchanting retreat! We spent a week of our honeymoon here and loved every bit of our stay! The house is gorgeously designed, filled with natural light. We loved the panoramic windows, with mountain views in multiple directions. We especially reveled in the bedroom window wall that allowed us to watch the sunrise without even getting out of bed! The deck was also a favorite place to watch the sun go down and the stars come out. These hosts don't cut corners. Their attention to quality and detail shows everywhere. We found the house immaculately clean and tidy, and equipped with an abundance of resources for our stay. We just couldn't get over how many thoughtful and beautiful and high-quality touches there were at this place.House is secluded enough to feel private in spite of being near the lake and walking path. Pictures cannot capture the wonder of this place. These hosts are worthy of highest respect. If you stay here, please help keep this beautiful place beautiful!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience hosting these guests at Enchanted Retreat. The communication was prompt, clear & friendly. They respected all house rules and left the property in immaculate condition-just as clean & tidy as when they checked in. It was a pleasure to interact with them, and they made the entire hosting process seamless and enjoyable. We'd be delighted to welcome them back any time and highly recommend them to any future hosts. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for choosing our vacation rental for your stay. Having respectful, tidy, and considerate guests like you makes hosting a truly rewarding experience. Your care for our property, attention to house rules and your communication throughout your visit did not go unnoticed. We truly appreciate how you left the space in excellent condition and treated our home as if it were your own. Thank you for being such fantastic guests. We're so happy you enjoyed your time here and created wonderful memories on your honeymoon.

Wonderful place to stay!

We wanted to get away for a quiet week and it was exactly what was needed. A beautiful, comfortable, well-kept home on a very large piece of land far away from the noise and commotion of every day life. Wonderful scenery from every side; trails to hike, and stars to watch ... wildlife, it has it all. Mostly blessed peace! Thank you!

Beautiful, serene home

Enchanted retreat was a wonderful place for our anniversary get-away. The home is designed with large windows and scenic views of the mountains, is impeccably clean, and has almost anything that a guest could need. Nancy and Tom were great hosts that accommodated us with a late night check-in after our numerous flight delays, and promptly addressed a mechanical issue. Overall we loved our stay and hope to be able to visit again.
