At the Grizz from Texas

Besides clean, comfortable, & safe my family could not stop talking about all the unique decorations. My family did not like the taste of the water because we have RO units at home but I had zero problem with the water because I don’t use RO water at home 😜

Fantastic Property, Gracious Host

This property was absolutely gorgeous! Nestled along a tree-filled gulch, filled with flowers and a flowing stream, it was most relaxing. In the evening, the stars were spectacular. Sunrise and sunset were breathtaking. The interior was clean, comfortable, and cozy, and the kitchen was well stocked. Michelle was so gracious! She was knowledgeable about the area, and so friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with her.

Serenity in a charming setting

Michelle is a welcoming and helpful host, great advice on nearby restaurants which were outstanding. The house is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything! Features two bathrooms and good-sized rooms. Lovely outdoor setting with pathways, streams, views, garden chapels. Step outside at nighttime and see stars with no ambient light interfering. We enjoyed visiting nearby Mesa Verde for our three days there. Hope to return!

Nice little cottage

Stayed here while doing work in Cortez, the location is located 10 minutes feom town and is very nice and well stocked. We bought coffee and forgot filters but there were already some onsite as well as many other things you may need. Host was very nice and checked in with us during the stay to see if we needed anything. She was also nice enough to suggest good dining in the area. My daughter and I took a nice walk along the canal located on the backside of the property. Beautiful sunsets and scenery. Bed was comfortable and it was a quiet and peaceful retreat.

Very Cute

It was very nice staying here, the cottage was very cute and comfortable, the outdoor seating at the cottage and the landscaping was lovely. The shared outdoor spaces where nice, we had a fire in the teepee that was stocked with wood and paper to get the fire going, the furniture in the teepee could use some updating, but it was fun. the hammock area had a large boat stored at the edge of the yard right next to it which made it seem more like someones yard vs a vacation rental spot. Overall it was a great stay though. We really enjoyed it.

Wonderful Stay!

We loved it here. Michelle showed such warm hospitality and a willingness to share her entire property with us. It is a great location just outside of Cortez, just minutes away from grabbing a bite to eat, picking up supplies or exploring the Mesa Verde and Four Corners area. It was extremely relaxing. We only had time to spend two nights, but got a chance to go for a little walk to watch an incredible sunset, grill, and sit outside around a propane fire to watch the stars come out. Other favorite activities included reading in a shady outdoor sitting area and relaxing by the beautiful koi pond. It was the perfect place for my eleven year-old son to explore a bit and not be cooped up in a hotel room. The cabin itself was very clean and comfortable with plenty of thoughtful items for our use. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Michelle!

We felt like part of the family

From the moment we arrived, Michelle went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. She thought of everything, in order to make the cozy little cottage into a place we could love. The place was stocked with snacks and treats that we could enjoy. The decorations were fun and whimsical. (I love the cat pictures in the bathroom.) There were even tissues in the every room, which was wonderful when my wife came down with a cold while we were there. One of our days we arrived back at the cottage after doing some adventuring, and she happened to be outside baking bread in her outdoor oven. She offered us half a loaf! It was amazing. The grounds were beautiful, and made for a wonderful Sunday afternoon walk. Overall, Michelle goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. If I'm ever in the area, I would love to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Eagle

Deerhaven guest Cottage, Grizzly Rose guest Cottage and the Bears Den studio apartment are located at Ravensnest. The property was originally owned by my parents and is considered our home place. I purchased it in 1989 from my parents and I have created an incredible Spirit of place. My parents both worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs and dedicated their lives to working on Native Reservations. They were both detailed to Mescalero Apache Reservation. The home was vacant and decided to purchase and created my incredible space. I have dedicated 30 years working in the Arctic Circle helping to provide dental services to the Native Children. I am honored and humbled by my work and am profoundly greatful for the that opportunity.

Why they chose this property

Ravensnest is situated between the backside of Mesa Verde and the front view of the Sleeping Ute Mountain in the valley south of Cortez. Panoramic views of the entire Valley can be seen on the property. Magical sunsets and superb stargazing can be seen while enjoying your spiritual retreat.

What makes this property unique

Ravensnest has a labyrinth, a traditional medicine wheel, and a ceremonial tipi. There is a shrine, reflecting ponds, koi ponds and peace gardens to connect to the universe.
