This house was perfect for us! It’s close enough to the city and all the attractions, yet far enough away to feel like you’re secluded from the rest of the world. It was immaculate, there wasn’t anything missing from this quaint home with beautiful views. Ginny is very responsive. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Remote but Accessible

We had a great time at the property and basing out of it for local trails and parks. If you’re a mountain biker then Phil’s World is down the highway and there is a great bike store in Cortez for support. Mesa Verde is nearby and is a must see. Four Corners monument is also not far away as well as a ton of other sights. The house itself is a great place to relax and we found it to be better than expected on arrival.

Sweet House with Beautiful Views

The house is very cute and had a great outdoor space. Great kitchen and lots of little extras around the property. Very clean! I had a question about something and the owner got right back to me. Little phone service, but there is wifi. Close to Hovenweep, The Canyon of the Ancients, and Mesa Verde. Not far from Four Corners. We loved our stay here! We would definitely stay again.

Secluded, Yet Centrally Located Ranch

6-day/5-night stay with 4 adults. We fell in love with this charming ranch, sitting on nearly 20 acres of pastureland. All the needed creature comforts were present. The well-appointed kitchen had ample plates, silverware, and utensils. While the comfortable baths and sleeping quarters had plenty of linens and toiletries. Travel from the location to our planned Canyon of the Ancients horseback ride, Sutcliffe wine-tasting, visit to Four Corners, and hikes of Hovenweep and Mesa Verde National Park were surprisingly easy drives. This also enabled us to add trips to Mancos and Durango. All of us would definitely recommend this VRBO and stay here again when visiting Cortez.
