Unfortunately, the property did not reflect the actual condition described by the listing and previous guests.We found hairs in the beds and in the showers, dirty stained sheets and general pests (spiders, tiny flea-like insects in the house etc) and dirty floors. The sheets were very old, extremely worn, and stained with a white substance, which was unsettling and unacceptable.The beds had cheap, uncomfortable mattresses with literal foam pieces on top but over the mattress protectors leaving it exposed to bed bugs.Window AC units in each room were cheaply sealed and the windows were covered with tinfoil! The hot tub was visibly aged and had a duct tape patch on a seat and a large stone “holding down” the filter. There was trash piled up under the back deck, and a makeshift bench was being held together by cinder blocks.In our opinion, the reviews don’t accurately reflect the true condition of the property. We contacted the property manager with our concerns. Their response was that “it’s an old rustic cabin.” While we understand the rustic appeal, that doesn’t excuse poor cleanliness, stained and ripped bedding, uncomfortable mattresses with cheap toppers, or general lack of upkeep. Rustic doesn’t mean dirty or neglected—basic standards should still be met. While a few things were okay, the overall condition of the property felt neglected and not worth the price we paid.
A junkyard just under the deck
Side door, had a broken hinge and was very white trashy
Makeshift bench with cinder blocks. PM said they will “secure” the board for future guests!
Actual Foam on top of mattress, not only uncomfortable but can harbor almost any pest.

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.

It was okay

Pretty cottage but had some safety issues. Porch had multiple loose/broken boards, as did the stairs leading up in to the house. Heating was sporadic. But we did enjoy the wildlife and views of the lake.

Lovely!

The cabin was in the perfect location for easy access to Cortez and Mesa Verde. There was plenty of space for us to relax after our days full of adventure. It was well stocked which made it easy to make our own meals. I was grateful they had bug spray since the lake attracted mosquitoes. The deck was so nice to hang out on and there was a lovely view of the lake. Next time we are in the area we would love to stay again.

Location, Views, Historic modern cabin

Lovely place, views of the lake, Ute Mtn and oh the sunsets. A family cabin, with modern amenities. The deck and lake views were stunning. The modern basement with room for all to play, pool, tv, games. Enjoyed our stay, easy check in, and loved that the family dogs enjoyed the stay and fenced in yard. Kitchen had all the tool needed to make meals and bbq on the deck. Comfortable beds, air conditioning to keep it cool and reliable fast Wifi. Close to Mesa Verde, Cortez, Durango and Telluride for day trips.

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.

I absolutely loved staying here

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. I totally recommend staying here.
