We enjoyed staying at this house. It was a close drive to Mesa Verde, Canyons of the Ancients and other hikes. We loved having the fenced in backyard for the dog as well. The owners have everything labeled well in the house and take care to be eco-friendly.
Clean and comfortable, well stocked with everything you need. Cute/friendly messages placed about the home to explain where things are and how to use different features of the house.

Comfortable & quiet
The home was decorated nicely & comfortable for 2 couples, with easy access to downtown. Photos on website are not current, but overall very adequate space. You may even learn something about recycling if you pay attention.
Property was clean and well furnished. Back porch was more cluttered than picture. Nice bedding but other than master bedrooms were small. Kitchen well stocked. Pellet fireplace not working which was disappointing as we were there when it was cold. Dog loved the yard.
As a family, we spend almost every Thanksgiving together in Cortez. The majority of our family lives in Cortez, but my husband and I and our son and daughter-n-law travel from other places, and hence why we rent a home to stay in during that time. This year was our first time renting this location and we found it to be very comfortable, close in proximity to Cortez amenities, and good for our dogs. Thank you.

I really loved staying there! It’s a beautiful little house, in a quiet residential neighborhood very close to downtown Cortez, and very close to Mesa Verde.
The house is eco friendly, with a lot of energy and water saving features (heat pump/evaporative cooler, low flow toilet with 2 flushing options). They also have a mini washer and dryer. The neighbors are friendly. It was lovely, and I would love to be able to stay there again. Thank you!

Loved it!
The home is just that...a home. Much more comfortable than a hotel. Clean and organized, with lots of local literature showing where to go and what to do. Pet friendly, and we enjoyed visits from a couple of felines on the porch (Salem, our feline, spent time at the door with twitching tail). Just an all around good place to stay. Check-in and -out instructions were clear and easy to follow. Caretaker's number was provided, along with the hosts, for questions and information. We will definitely remember this home for the next time we visit.
Lovely place to stay for a week to explore the area. There are manny special touches that make the home a true delight including gifts from Linda’s business. How lovely is that?
Dan and Linda were super responsive when we had an issue with a non- functioning appliance and got the whole issue resolved within the hour. A true 5 star experience
Well, we were very impressed with the location because we were able to go to Telluride, visit Moab, Utah, visit Mancos, also we were able to explore the scenery and also go to Durango Colorado. It was a short ride.The best thing about the property was that we enjoyed the location. It was very clean and the TVs were easy to work and figure out everything.We would definitely stay there again just because it was a close location to friends as well while visiting. Also, it was easy to get to the grocery store which was about 3 to 5 minutes up the road along with the stores there that were feed stores, but they accommodated for any kind of cold weather equipment for clothing like it got really cold when we were there and everything was easily accessible
We were in town for a wedding, and this was a perfect, pet friendly location. The host was excellent and checked in on our during our stay to make sure all was okay. Highly recommend.

Family Gathering in Cortez
This home was truly a home away from home. We were able to accommodate all visitors comfortably. It was a family reunion of sorts and the kids absolutely loved the nice big back yard. Parking was sufficient and all needs were met. Grocery stores and restaurants close by. And casino is less than 30 min.
The house was located close enough to town for easy travel between us and family living there. Large enough to accommodate all of us during the day and evening meals. Bedroom and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable for 4 adults. The living area large and comfortable enough for up to 12 to gather, play games and enjoy meals. Very clean and well stocked. Easy check-in and check-out.
We had a great weekend at the cabin. It is so cute and had everything we needed. The grounds are beautiful and there is lots of shade around the porch for a cool breeze. The bathroom is adorable! Love the mural on the walls. The upstairs was warm at night. A fan would have helped a lot. Definitely would love to stay again in the fall or early spring.
