Stunning view.
The view from this cozy log cabin was incredible. We loved watching the sun set. The house was very clean and comfortable with multiple sitting areas. The main bedroom is separated from the living room by a partial wall. It didn’t affect our visit as we all woke up at the same time. The other thing to note is that the downstairs bedrooms do not have windows but there is a door to the outside just outside the bedrooms. The house was well stocked. We would recommend the house especially for the incredible view and cozy feel of the cabin.

Beautiful Views and Peaceful Setting
Our family had a wonderful time at the house. It is updated, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The panoramic views from the front porch are just spectacular. The peaceful setting makes you feel like you are away from it all, but are just 15 minutes from town. Perfect!

Views Incredible
We have been on a three-week road trip from Texas to Montana visiting many places in Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Montana. This place exceeded our expectations. The views were amazing, the place unique, clean and comfortable. We checked this off as our favorite and would love to revisit. AMAZING.

Great cabin, Great Location!
This is the perfect location for us. Just up the road to fishing and reservoir for kayaking and paddle boarding. Just a bit further up the road to National Forest Access and hiking and Trail riding in UTV. This is what we love to do and this is a perfect place to do it. The cabin is excellent. Clean, plenty of room and peaceful quiet. The host was responsive when contacted to stay another day and got us squared away! It is a great place to stay if you have extra friends or family vacationing with you. It is also close to all the other attractions of the 4 Corners. Mancos is our favorite town in Colorado and our home away from home. Love being there. Thanks for a great stay!

Fabulous
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this quiet hidden gem in Mancos State Park! We were delighted to find a nice home a few miles from our daughter’s homes nearby, and managed by the same group! Everything was well stocked and the views were spectacular! We enjoyed 3 peaceful days there! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Fantastic property
My wife and I wanted to visit southwest Colorado with our adult children and Marie, our former foreign exchange student from Germany. Marie just finished an internship at the United Nations and wanted to have some downtime from NYC before heading back home. We all wanted to go somewhere that was quiet, relaxing and beautiful.
This property in Mancos, checked all of the boxes. We arrived after dark and were impressed with this property. It was bigger than we expected . The beds were very comfortable and our son really enjoyed the sauna. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting outside and looking at the Milky Way galaxy.
But the most beautiful thing about this property was waking up the next morning to the view out the front door. I gave you a 4 star rating for the accuracy of the listing because I don’t think you accurately described the views from this property. Stunning. In fact, I don’t think any description or pictures can properly describe this retreat.
We will definitely contact you again about staying here if we visit the area again.

A singularly beautiful spot!
The location was perfection. Off on it's own but never felt remote, this property had the best view and all accommodations one might require to be comfortable without feeling like you're missing something. Great wrap around porch, the kitchen was complete with all necessities, and had all the space required to spread one's legs and items and relax!
