Cozy, comfortable cabin
Our stay at the ranch was a wonderful surprise! This beautiful cabin is comfortable and a perfect place to kick back and relax.
We especially enjoyed the porch and mountain views and stargazing. The hot tub was a great benefit for our aching muscles after several days of hiking.
The kitchen was well-appointed. I especially appreciated multiple coffee options and the to-go cups!
Beds were comfortable though crazy high. A wooden stool for the second floor bedroom would be appreciated. Loved the robes!
Thank you for sharing your stunning cabin.

Home Away From Home
A group of us were in town dealing with a family emergency and we are so grateful to have been together in such a beautiful, calm and well-appointed house. The host was kind, accommodating, and quick to respond to communications and questions. The house was very comfortable, the kitchen had everything needed, the location was very private.

Beautiful, convenient and quiet!
Our two families (with 5 kids) stayed here for an amazing 4 days! It is right next to Mesa Verde, so you spend your time on the porch looking out at the unimpeded park! The entrance gate is literally 1 mile away, so it's easy to come home for lunch! The central location is great for exploring the park as well as Canyon of the Ancients. The house is incredibly well-stocked with everything you need, neater than a pin, and fit our 2 families with 9 kids quite comfortably. Kids loved their own space in the basement for playing games, parents loved the front porch looking out at the mountain ranges! Very comfortable beds, large kitchen and dining room table that fit us all comfortably, and a big common room for lounging on the couches. Highly Recommend!

Excellent views and beautiful cabin
Upon arrival we were amazed at the stunning views on the property. The cabin was extremely clean and decorated beautifully. However we were unable to use the downstairs tv because we couldn't get it to work, maybe provide instructions for guests. Unfortunately we were not aware that bath soap would not be provided so we had to go back into town to purchase some. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this cabin to other interested parties.

This is an incredible place. You couldn’t find better views from the front or back porches. And the interior is so wonderfully decorated and the hosts have thought of everything. We all thoroughly enjoyed the close proximity to Mesa Verde as well. We will definitely treasure memories of this lovely place for years to come. It was such a treat to enjoy the stars at night from the hot tub and to watch the wildlife all around the cabin. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. Great place to vacation!

Spectacular
A ten-minute drive from Mesa Verde yet 100% private with utterly spectacular views, including Mesa Verde. We sat in the hot tub at night and looked at the Milky Way and no other houses in sight. So restorative for our souls. The house is very well-equipped and comfortable and everything is high-end. The host was very quick to respond to our few questions. We really hated to leave this beautiful home!

Christmas in the Valley
This property is absolutely stunning. We came for a pre-Christmas retreat and we’re able to really relax and enjoy ourselves. The property is located on the edge of the Mesa Verde National Park which gave us quick access to the pueblos. It is also about 30 minutes from Durango for all the fun and shopping we could handle. Overall I give this cabin a 10 out of 5 for cleanliness and availability to view nature and mountain ranges. We also hiked the entire property and were blown away by the memories and views we saw. I will most likely return to stay in this cabin again.

Not your average Log Cabin
We had the absolute best Thanksgiving weekend ever in this well appointed, three level cabin. It was constructed the old fashioned way with real logs and impeccable chinking. The steam bath and hot tub were very relaxing after a hike across the property and adjacent public land. We really enjoyed our trip to the nearby Mesa Verde ruins. We definitely plan to make another stay here in the future.
