Heaven. Book It.

This was the most magical place to stay. It has everything you need, is spacious with many different areas to hang out, and is remote enough to have plenty of privacy and see all the stars in the sky at night. Don't hesitate, just book this place. It's perfect.

Great place to visit

We stayed here so we could be near Mesa Verde NP and it was such a nice home with so many amenities. Loved the deck hot tub. Enjoyed both nights out there stargazing. Very nicely decorated and cozy feeling. Beds were comfortable and view was fantastic.

Fantastic house for Mesa Verde

This house was excellent for a visit to Cortez and Mesa Verde National Park. It was a fun house with a pool table, darts, plenty of TV's and a hot tub. Kids couldn't stop saying how much they loved the house and being on a lake made it even better. Would definitely stay again if ever in the area.

Pictures don’t do justice to this lovely a-frame in Cortez. The sunset views from the porch and hot tub were perfect. Close to town and ten minutes to Mesa Verde.

I absolutely loved staying here

This A frame house is one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed. I honestly wish we spent more time there. It’s decorated beautifully and is kept up so well. Super clean and comfortable and the view of the lake was the icing on the cake. We stayed here so we could go to Mesa Verde and it was the perfect location to do so. It’s also close to town. I totally recommend staying here.

Lovely!

The cabin was in the perfect location for easy access to Cortez and Mesa Verde. There was plenty of space for us to relax after our days full of adventure. It was well stocked which made it easy to make our own meals. I was grateful they had bug spray since the lake attracted mosquitoes. The deck was so nice to hang out on and there was a lovely view of the lake. Next time we are in the area we would love to stay again.

Location, Views, Historic modern cabin

Lovely place, views of the lake, Ute Mtn and oh the sunsets. A family cabin, with modern amenities. The deck and lake views were stunning. The modern basement with room for all to play, pool, tv, games. Enjoyed our stay, easy check in, and loved that the family dogs enjoyed the stay and fenced in yard. Kitchen had all the tool needed to make meals and bbq on the deck. Comfortable beds, air conditioning to keep it cool and reliable fast Wifi. Close to Mesa Verde, Cortez, Durango and Telluride for day trips.

Adorable home with gorgeous sunset views!

This property was located perfectly for day excursions to Mesa Verde and Durango. We enjoyed the hot tub and game room. Very comfortable furnishings. My only suggestion would be to install screens on the windows and doors. We couldn’t open them at certain times of day due to the bugs.

It was okay

Pretty cottage but had some safety issues. Porch had multiple loose/broken boards, as did the stairs leading up in to the house. Heating was sporadic. But we did enjoy the wildlife and views of the lake.

We stayed with the intention of getting to Mesa Verde Nat’l Park. It was very close to the park. Cute interior with everything we needed for an overnight. My boys had played in a football game in Alamosa so, the hot tub was great. We even liked the sweet neighbor dog that came to welcome & see us off in the morning.

Our stay was very good. The hot tub had a malfunction but the host was super easy to reach and got the tub repaired the next day. It was very enjoyable to sit in and enjoy the stars. The house was comfortable and plenty large for our family of 5. Would stay here again happily!
