Nice and relaxing

Came to visit family with our dogs in tow. Loved having a place close to them that allowed pets. Also loved waking up and taking them on a walk down the road and letting them run off leash, since the road has no other houses on it past the site.

Home Away from Home

Staying at Norma and Dan's VRBO was amazing. They created a home away from home for us. We are so comfortable. They were right next door and very responsive and friendly. We will plan on staying there on our next trip to the area. Anyone who stays here will be pleased!

Perfect weekend getaway!

Dan and Norma’s farm cabin was the perfect place for our weekend getaway! They were so kind and their place had everything you needed! The views from the balcony are amazing and I highly recommend watching sunset from there! 10/10 recommend! We also visited Mesa Verde National Park which was incredible. Tours of the cliff dwellings are a must!

Second visit at Dan & Norma's. The cabin is on their farm, a peaceful place where you feel home the minute you settle in. Enjoy wonderful sunsets everyday. The kitchen is well equipped and so is the bathroom. Norma will make sure you have everything you need

Great place!

Very nice cabin with beautiful views of the alfalfa fields & sleeping Ute mt. beyond. I was fascinated by Dan's operation, he really has it down to a T. Would have liked to tag along with him for a day to get an up close look but did not want to intrude. Cabin was spotless, Norma left a very nice welcoming gift, very kind. Perfect location for riding mt. roads & Moab. Great hosts, thank you!

The cabin/cottage was cozy clean with everything you needed. (Including toothpaste/brushes shampoo etc) Location was pretty close to perfect for our plans. The host were friendly, greeted us when we were both there but otherwise left us be. Very peaceful with a couple beautiful sunsets. Bonus was the two dogs we all loved. Highly recommend!

Relaxing and reviving

After 8 days of touring National Parks we needed a break and this farm was wonderful. The boys ( 8 and 10) played football on the beautifully landscaped grounds. We made s’mores at the firepit at sunset. Time for a puzzle and lots of card playing. We ventured out to go horseback riding and visit Canyon of the Ancients. And we did NOT eat in restaurants. The cabin was charming with stunning views. Our hosts were great. My only negative comment is that their listing did not mention that they also have cats. Made my day to see them roaming about with the dogs and horses. This place was the very best of our vacation.

Wanted to Stay Forever

Gorgeous surroundings. Clean, comfortable, well-appointed home. Charming hosts. And that night sky… We’ve been using VRBO since before apps were a thing. This vacation home is now our favorite! My only regret is that there were just two of us because it is very roomy. Anything we needed was already there. Great place to relax and recharge after our daily adventures.

Peaceful

The farm and location are beautiful and peaceful, which was exactly what we needed after our adventure-filled days. We were easily able to visit Mesa Verde and Four Corners from here. The location is conveniently close to a variety of towns with restaurants & groceries, but far enough that there is almost no light pollution. We had a beautiful unobstructed view from the balcony of sunset, moonset & seemingly every star in the night sky. Dan & Norma are wonderful hosts and provide a lot if thoughtful amenities.

Great stay!

Dan and Norma are wonderful hosts! This was the perfect homebase for our solar eclipse trip. We had everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean and close to Mesa Verde and Four Corners. Norma told us about the Lowry Pueblo ruins, a little hidden gem nearby. Cortez is only 15 minutes away with some fun shops and restaurants (we suggest Lounging Lizard if you like pub type food). A relaxing, peaceful stay!

Just perfect…..

Just returned home from our 2 week vacation and have to say this little cabin was the highlight of our trip! Dan and Norma were so accommodating and welcomed us with open arms. I grew up in Cortez and they reminded me of what a friendly little community it truly is. If you ever get to visit the Cortez/Yellow Jacket area, be sure to stay here. It is just perfect in every way.

Lovely place, great hosts!

The cabin is great: clean, spacious, and comfortable with country charm. It was hot outside during our stay, so we appreciated the AC. Dan and Norma are super nice people, and also give you plenty of space. My husband and two smaller dogs stayed at the cabin in August for a dog sports event. The farm is is a gorgeous area surrounded by mountain views. Would recommend!

Cute and Comfortable

I can not say enough good things about this little gem tucked in the country. I have been coming out the the Cortez Area for many years enjoying all the amenities it has to offer. Dan and Norma's Cabin is makes it even better. The cabin is stocked with everything you need! It is set up nice with plenty of sleeping and sitting areas inside and out. It is quiet, homey and comfortable for your family and pets. Dan and Norma, along with their animals, are wonderful stewards and it shows in their land and this cabin. You are immersed in the beauty of the West, blessed with great views and sunsets. After you day, you can enjoy a board game or DVD provided by the hosts. My son said staying at their cabin was the BEST part of our trip. The provided WiFi enabled my son to work from the cabin. We look forward to coming back :)

Literally Perfect

Every good review you’ve read before is right on the money: Norma and Dan are delightful, the cabin is beautiful and has everything you’d ever wish for, and the scenery and remote setting is sublime. Flax the horsey and the three sweet doggies only added to our positive experience. We stayed for three glorious nights and visited all the cool sights around the cabin. VRBO apparently doesn’t allow me to list the multitude of public lands that are near to this perfectly-situated cabin, but just check a map and you’ll see that this cabin would make a perfect home base for a multi-day trip. In short, everything was perfect! Thank you Dan and Norma for our favorite VRBO experience ever!!

About the host

Hosted by Dan Duncan, property owner

Host profile image
Dan grew up 7 miles northwest of current home. He is a retired pilot, who flew so he could farm and ranch. Norma retired (5/2016) after 31 years of teaching and now I quilt and try to keep up. We have lived here 23 years, lived in Montana for 12 years and Las Vegas for 11 years.

Why they chose this property

This home was originally built because our son was an officer in the Marine Corps and it was his home when he came home for extended times. He now comes back a few times a year and our extended family and friends come to stay and enjoy the privacy.

We are centrally located to many of the main attractions in Southwest Colorado. The land we are located on have a view of the Sleeping Ute Mountain, the La Plata range, Blue Mountains and Lizzard Head.

What makes this property unique

You will love the view, solitude, and the stars at night.
