My stay was amazing, very comfortable and I found everything I needed and more at the house. The property and space are immaculate and owners are wonderful. They made sure I knew I could contact them with any questions or needs. There’s easy access to downtown Mancos, Cortez and Durango for adventures though you don’t need to leave the house to enjoy a breathtaking view! You cannot go wrong with a stay here!

Lovely, Relaxing Property with a Great Mountain View

Wonderful property. I choose it because it was so close to Mesa Verde National Park, and it was an easy (maybe 5 minute) drive to the park entrance. The beds are comfortable, the hosts very friendly and the private deck has a gorgeous view over the valley.

Wonderful home stay

The Birds Nest was the perfect spot in Cedar Mesa, conveniently located across from the national park entrance. The home is very clean, wonderful view, well stocked kitchen and linens. We hope to go back another time to explore more of the area. Wonderful hosts!! Laurie

Peaceful. Home away from home.

Jeff and Renee are great to work with. We did not get to visit much because we kept ourselves busy with parents sight-seeing and enjoying the beauty of this part of the state. The vrbo was clean, spacious, and had an incredible view from back patio. Would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the Mesa Verde National Park area.

Beautiful location

Stayed for a week and had a wonderful time. Very detailed directions were emailed and we found the house easily. Very friendly owner lives next door and were great. Very close to Mesa Verde and the towns of Cortez and Muncos as well as Four Corners. Durango isn't too far and i highly recommend the train ride to Silverton. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again

Very comfortable stay

We went out to mountain bike and visit Mesa Verde NP. The property was comfortable and quiet. The beds were very comfortable. Love the dual shower heads as well. The views were amazing from the back porch. Working the tv and receiver took some time to figure out but got it going, comfortable sectional as well. Overall a very nice stay and close to nearby attractions and towns.

Fabulous location to Mesa Verde

My sister and I stayed at the Bird's Nest in late Sept. 2024. It was fabulous. Very quiet and comfortable. We loved the deck for watching the sunrise/sunset with a glass of wine. Very quiet. The kitchen was so well stocked. The location couldn't have been better for visiting Mesa Verde. Jeff and his wife were wonderful hosts - answered questions quickly and were available for restaurant recommendations :)

Great location for Mesa Verde visit

We stayed with our family of 6, and loved how close and easy it is to enter Mesa Verde NP from the house. Just a quick 6 minute drive. The house was clean, had basics supplied in the kitchen, and all the towels and linens needed. As for sleeping, the two beds were very comfortable, but our other 2 kids slept on the couch. Couch was big enough for children, and they can sleep anywhere so it worked great for us. Would recommend for families of 4 who want to see the National Park. And Jeff was so friendly, and amazing at providing recommendations. and
