Great cabin!

Overall wonderful cabin and property. It was nice and secluded and had plenty of space for our dogs. It had everything prepped and ready for us to relax, recharge, and explore the surrounding areas! We especially liked the cork board with neat information and activities.

Great property

Fabulous location in mcElmo’s canyon, next to archaeological preserve. No cell reception in the area, but WiFi is provided, so no concerns there. Rooms were comfortable. The porch with hummingbird feeds was adorable, and kept everyone entertained in the mornings! Sunrises over the canyon were beautiful.

Very quiet, great scenery.

Comfortable country home with comfortable bed. Nice porch swing to sit on and watch the humming birds and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Nice car port. I would recommend the Notah-Dineh Trading Company in Cortez for authentic Native American items. We enjoyed 11 beautiful days at this place and all of the beauty of the surrounding area.

Dramatic venue, comfortable home

Dramatically quiet escape after full days exploring these beautiful lands. Comfortably, well-appointed home, nestled conveniently near Cortez, dark night skies, gentle breezes. Sleep well, wake up refreshed, seize the day.

Anniversary Trip

After some difficulty getting in the house and some wifi mix-up, our stay was wonderful. The location was perfect to go exploring Mesa Verde and Canyon of the Ancients. We had everything we needed for some quiet evenings at home. My grandson loved trying to get pictures of the hummingbirds from the front deck. My husband and I even extended our stay by a day after our family left. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Private and Peaceful

The property is located a short drive from Cortez and sits amid many ancient settlements (including some on the property). A 20 - 30 minute drive to Hovenweep, five minutes to Sun Canyon hikes, and 30 - 40 minute drive to Mesa Verde. There is an apple orchard on site which had several varieties, ripe for the picking. We saw different wildlife right in front of the cabin along with migrating hummingbirds. We really enjoyed staying here and can't wait to come back

This fit our needs perfectly

I’m late in submitting this. We were there in the fall on 2022. We loved the location but understand that it’s not for everyone. It was a great location for visiting mesa verde and hovenweep. A short drive to some spectacular hiking and breathtaking views of Ute Mountain.

Very nice house with great view.

Wonderful house about 20 minutes from Cortez. Loved the view from the back porch looking out to the red rock cliffs. Took the hike to the Kiva on property which was very cool. Enjoyed watching the humming birds and the prairie dog in the back yard. The kitchen is large and beds are comfortable. We spent our time visiting Mesa Verda which was amazing. Would not hesitate to rent this house again. Paige

Nice rustic cabin close to Canyon of the Ancients

We enjoyed our stay at this property and were pleased with the location. It's about an hour from Mesa Verde, but at the back door of one of Canyon of the Ancients' hiking trail. As soon as we mixed up sugar-water nectar, the hummingbirds appeared, which was a treat! The property is clean, provides all the necessities, and was an overall enjoyable stay. We did have a problem with the peacock, but it has since found a new home and should no longer be a bother.

Good to hear that you enjoyed your stay! It's actually 32 min to the Mesa Verde Visitors Center from the cabin and 3 min to the Sand Canyon trail head - the southern entrance to Canyon of the Ancients, 41 min to Hovenweep National Monument and 25 min to Yucca House National Monument. Both Hovenweep and Mesa Verde have many magnificent cliff dwellings and towers with paved paths and rangers. Yucca House is undisturbed - no restoration no paved paths - a few well preserved wall sections and hundreds of mounds - from tiny to 3 stories tall. Interesting to see and wander through, it's at the foot of Sleeping Ute Mountain that dominates the skyline to the west. The TOE of Sleeping Ute marks the December Winter Solstice Sun Set from atop the Great House mound there and the Peak itself marks the June Summer Solstice Sun Set from the same spot. 30 mins away is Ute Mountain Tribal Park - the southern park of the same mesa that Mesa Verde is on. A guide is necessary to visit but it well worth half or a whole day's visit as it contains just as wonderful cliff dwelling without the crowds and provides a more intimate interaction with the tho For a time, we were on the route of a roaming young Peacock who was fun to watch but lacked perfect manners - he was aggressive if you ran from him. He is gone now. We found him a new home where he is welcome.

Beautiful

The property was well stocked and had the most amazing views. We were able to cook/prep meals with ease. The added personal touches like the binder with information about the area and recommendations, games and plenty of seating was much appreciated. We woke up to enjoy the sunrise most mornings. With my family of 4 and grandparents, we were all comfortable. Close to Mesa Verde and grocery stores.

Cortez in Spring

We really enjoyed the privacy and location of the home. Covered parking allowed for unloading/loading of gear out of the weather. The home was clean and very comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. Best of all is how the home faces east to allow for watching sunrise from living room and front porch. We had some problem with heat and hot water, both issues resolved quickly after contacting owner. We would love to stay here again

Time travel to the 70s

Great location and quiet with a pleasant view. Make Sure you write down the 6 digit code from the owner as VRBO sent an incorrect 4 digit code and you’ll have to drive half way to Cortez to get a signal. Interior really needs an update We splurged 2 on 4 new wine glasses at the thrift store. Rustic ands bit messy. Good for dogs.

What a pleasant home on a beautiful property in a great location for hiking and exploring ancient ruins! Two ruins are on the property and reachable with a little determination. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch listening to and watching all kinds of birds, protected from the sun by its deep roof. Everything needed for daily life is provided in the house - just bring your groceries. Cell reception is spotty (if you consider that a problem instead of a benefit!), but the wifi works well enough for wifi calling. We look forward to returning sometime!

Hummingbird Ranch

There were 5 hummingbirds that flew in 3 times a day. We had several visits by the mule deer and lizards. We heard lots of other animals. The scenery and surroundings mountains were spectacular. It was close to many interesting parks and towns to visit. The house especially the back porch was great. It was very well stocked. The driveway in wasn’t as rough as some described. Kimberly was quick to respond to questions. We would be very happy to stay there again. We would bring more mosquito repellent next time.

Perfect for the Occassion

I rented this property for family/friends to stay for my wedding. It was absolutely perfect. Bernard was a pleasure to work with and was responsive to my every request. The view from the porch is breathtaking. The price is right and the accommodations are so much better than the Kelly Place located just a bit further down the road. (I rented both, so I know). My bridesmaids and I used this residence to prepare for the wedding so it will always have a special place in my heart.

Older country range style house. Spacious lot with beautiful view. 3 car carport. Large 3 bedrooms, great beds, 2 large bathrooms. Open concept living area - lots of seating, large kitchen with a huge island. Kitchen and bathrooms well equipped. Host responded quickly. It is 12 miles west of Cortez on a winding paved county road. An easy drive out. But 30 minutes before sunset, the sun can be blinding. First time the turnoff was a bit hard to find, but easy after that. The main entry from the driveway has a stone stairway with no handrail. We enjoyed the quiet and the beautiful area. Enjoy!
