Adorable cabin perfect for a couple! Wonderfully decorated with many added touches to make your stay special. This is located just a few miles from the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park and conveniently between Cortez and Macon. We spent a night just gazing at the stars in this quiet location.

Although it’s a rural home it was close to both Durango and Mesa Verde National Park, with several good food options in town and surrounding areas. Close enough for a day trip to Telluride and Monument Valley, Shiprock and Four Corners… had everything we needed and more…
