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.

Great week!

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!

This property was the best Vrbo I have ever stayed in. The hosts literally took any guesswork of what we might need during our stay with a full kitchen supplies, cleaning, coffee maker, etc. The hosts literally thought of everything you might need during your stay. The backyard was great to spend the evening, and have a glass of wine that were complimentary. Only about a 12 mile drive to Mesa Verde, this house was the perfect base camp for our stay. Thanks for the great stay.

Hands down perfection!

We absolutely loved our stay at Jamie & Rodney’s place! Their place was decorated beautifully, was extremely clean, and had all the comforts of home. The hosts were so generous and thoughtful with all the little extras (snacks/toiletries), which was very much appreciated. We enjoyed porch visits from the neighborhood cats, which was an unexpected bonus, as we were missing ours from back home! The only additions I’d love to see for potential future visits is a bbq grill and maybe a fire pit. If we ever find ourselves in Cortez again, we wouldnt look any further than Jamie & Rodney’s!
