Perfect

We visited the Mesa Verde National Park, drove many scenic drives in the area, rode the Durango to Silverton Railway, shopped with the many businesses in the area, and very much enjoyed our stay at Bears Den Studio. It was comfortable, clean, and had anything you might need. The bed is very comfortable. Michelle is very kind and helpful. She suggested scenic drives and was always quick in responding to questions via message. I love her decorum both inside and outside the home. Our stay at Michelle’s Bears Den Studio was a very good decision.

Amazing, delightful!

My partner and I stayed for two nights in this marvelous place. We wish we could have stayed much longer. The room is extremely comfortable, furnished in three sections: bedroom, kitchen area with table, and sitting area with two couches and tv. All were well-equipped with everything you might need—from extra blankets to dvds and even seltzer in the fridge. And Michelle was beyond warm and welcoming! Will definitely be back!

Immaculate one room lower level apartment

We stayed in the Bears Den twice, enroute to and from Colorado. It’s very comfortable and well stocked, and out of town a ways, which we appreciate. Michelle is a gracious hostess who takes good care of her property. There are 2 other vacation rentals on the property in separate buildings; this unit is in the lower level of the main house, but has its own patio. A very pleasant place to stay!
