We stayed with the intention of getting to Mesa Verde Nat’l Park. It was very close to the park. Cute interior with everything we needed for an overnight. My boys had played in a football game in Alamosa so, the hot tub was great. We even liked the sweet neighbor dog that came to welcome & see us off in the morning.

Heaven. Book It.

This was the most magical place to stay. It has everything you need, is spacious with many different areas to hang out, and is remote enough to have plenty of privacy and see all the stars in the sky at night. Don't hesitate, just book this place. It's perfect.

Fantastic house for Mesa Verde

This house was excellent for a visit to Cortez and Mesa Verde National Park. It was a fun house with a pool table, darts, plenty of TV's and a hot tub. Kids couldn't stop saying how much they loved the house and being on a lake made it even better. Would definitely stay again if ever in the area.

This A frame house is one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed. I honestly wish we spent more time there. It’s decorated beautifully and is kept up so well. Super clean and comfortable and the view of the lake was the icing on the cake. We stayed here so we could go to Mesa Verde and it was the perfect location to do so. It’s also close to town.

Perfect Central location for a Fly Fishing Trip

This place was just as advertised. It is not a looker from the outside but, it was really nice on the inside. This place was a perfect central hub for a fly fishing adventures in S. Colorado. I would recommend this place to anyone. Note: As an outdoor enthusiast, 4 large bucks walking into the yard while drinking coffee on the porch was what probably set it over the top...
