Colorado adventure

We’ve been traveling a loop through the Rocky Mountains and enjoying the fall colors. We almost exclusively camped, and in October it got pretty cold. Then we went to mesa verde and took respite at this fine little house on a cattle farm. Made good use of the shower and laundry. The house was very cozy, bright and clean. Thanks so much!

It was PERFECT!

My husband and I loved staying at this house, and were so happy it was pet friendly! It was a perfect location to the Mesa Verde National Park, and surrounding areas! We enjoyed watching the cows and the Canadian Geese! The sunrises and sunsets were completely unobstructed, and were beautiful! We were able to meet the owner, and enjoy a cup of coffee with her. She's delightful! We were also able to purchase some of her beef from her ranch! BEST steaks we've ever had!

Comfortable, pleasant stay

This accommodation suited our needs for self catering ideally. It is clean, comfortable, well furnished and equipped with all our needs for cooking, etc. Location suited us well for visits to Mesa Verde NP, Durango and Silverton. Certainly a good place to stay and close to Cortez if one chooses to eat out.
