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.

Great place to visit

We stayed here so we could be near Mesa Verde NP and it was such a nice home with so many amenities. Loved the deck hot tub. Enjoyed both nights out there stargazing. Very nicely decorated and cozy feeling. Beds were comfortable and view was fantastic.

Great stay

Pictures don’t do justice to this lovely a-frame in Cortez. The sunset views from the porch and hot tub were perfect. Close to town and ten minutes to Mesa Verde.

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...

Perfectly peaceful

Great home with beautiful views of the lake and surrounding San Juan countryside. House was clean, beds comfortable, and the amenities perfect to come home to after running around all day seeing the sites. Would definitely stay here again!
