Wonderful update to a cute little 1950s-ish home ...the hosts have thought of everything! More than pet friendly our four legged babies had plenty of yard to explore and loved that there were blankets especially for them to lounge on the furniture just like home! Would highly recomend!

Very clean and accommodating. We spent time playing outside on the big back yard and enjoyed board games inside in the front room. We had a very comfortable stay cooking and preparing all our meals in the well equipped kitchen. Everyone was well rested thanks to the comfortable beds and clean linens. There was plenty of hot water as we all showered. The host was very kind and interested letting us know she was just a message away should we have any needs.

I would rate 10 stars if I could. Immaculately clean, very comfortable. We made a game of looking for something we could need and absolutely everything was there. Forgot a toothbrush? Got it. First aid? Yup. Spring water for your hike? 2 gallons. Thoughtfully curated and fully appointed. We will stay here again.

Since we always take our dogs with us when we travel, this bungalow had the perfect backyard for them. They were in heaven!! Also getting them into the yard was very accessible!! The house was located in a quiet neighborhood with huge trees for shade. We enjoyed sitting outside in the lawn chairs in the evenings. Inside the home, everything was super clean and so cozy. Jamie and Rodney thought of everything and anything that was needed for our stay. We enjoyed our time there and would definitely stay there again.

Very clean. Well appointed with many small touches that indicated the hosts really care. Stayed a full week with our loved elderly pet. He LOVED the back yard and we loved sitting out with him while so shared cocktails and cooked steaks on the grill. A perfect base for a full week of fun day trips!! Would stay here again.

Charming indeed

We had the best stay at what is definitely the most charming bungalow in Cortez! Jamie and Rodney’s attention to detail between thoughtful welcome snacks, plentiful amenities, lovely decor, and thorough recommendations and check-in/out instructions were greatly appreciated. The home was clean, bedding comfy, and kitchen stocked with essentials. After a day of hiking in Mesa Verde NP, it was great to have such a short (15-min) drive to the home, and an even shorter drive into town for a little sweet treat at DQ. We wish we could have stayed longer and if we ever find ourselves back in Colorado, hope to stay here again!

Perfect for small family and dog

Coming from southern Utah to visit friends in Mancos and ride the Silverton train, we found the perfect oasis in Cortez to serve as our central hub for the trip. Surprisingly roomy on the inside, comfortable, adorably furnished and equipped with everything we could possibly need for our stay. The back yard was a wonderful plus, providing shade and plenty of green grass and space for the pup to run around. Staying in Cortez was an added bonus as we took advantage of the close proximity to downtown to spend a few unplanned hours one morning happily wandering the shops on main street. Would definitely stay again!
