Amazing house

The home was very bright and open feeling. It was nice with the beds being well made when we arrived. The main room mattress is a memory foam and the queen room was memory foam as well. The kitchen was a nice place for storing any items as there was a fridge along with a wine fridge and a freezer. The living room was open with beautiful views outside. There was a porch to be enjoyed in the summer. It was clean when we got there and it did have necessities in both the pantry and the laundry room. Close drive to town but the house was still quiet snd felt like you had lots of privacy. Overall a great home!

Exploring Cortez area.

Lots of space for 2 couples. Well equipped. We enjoyed cooking dinner in most nights & loved the view from the east facing patio. We also appreciated the no pets policy as 2 in our group have allergies.

A perfect home away from home!

The house was beautiful, clean, and full of any type of amenity one could as for. As former residents of Durango, Cortez and Telluride, the central location was just exactly what we were looking for with access to the 3 towns ,the Narrow Gauge train, Mesa Verde and the 4 Corners area. I am still wanting to throw open the drapes each morning to gaze out at the Mesa Verde, and sit on the porch at sunset and enjoy the wonderful view of the Sleeping Ute. The one thing my husband and I felt would be beneficial is a bar in the shower in the master bedroom. As seniors, we are most cognizant of fall dangers, and both felt the need of a bar, and possibly a mat, in the shower. But we, our son and 2 grandsons had a fabulous time during our week in SW Colorado, and want to thank our hosts and VRBO very much for a welcoming, delightful place to stay! Jeri, Mike, John, Colin and Noah Sheahan PS...As an added, unexpected bonus, one early morning while enjoying coffee on the back patio, we were treated to a concert by the high school band, practicing across the arroyo. A magnificent view and music as well...who could ask for more?

House is in a scenic location. The neighborhood was quiet. Close to downtown. Only minor issue was the yard was not mowed which hid some dog poops. So we avoided the yard. House was well equipped.

Beautiful home near Mesa Verde

My husband and our two young adult daughters really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful Cortez, CO home. The home is gorgeous, immaculately clean, and has a fully furnished kitchen. It's convenient to the local WalMart and Safeway and was the perfect home base for us to explore Mesa Verde National Park. Communication with the owner was outstanding. Five stars!!!

Mesa Verde base

Loved this house! While it was just my husband and I, this would be great for 2 couples or a family. Beautiful view of the mountains. Easy access to town and a short distance to Mesa Verde. Great communication with the host and easy check in. A simple problem on arrival (smoke alarm battery needed changing) was taken care of within 10 minutes. Great to have someone nearby if needed. Large kitchen with everything you need. I’m not a fan of the foam mattress beds, but everything else was super comfortable. Large shower with plenty of hot water. Full sized laundry. Nice neighborhood. If you stay here, eat at Thai Cortez. Excellent food and very friendly!

Relaxation

Very relaxing home with magnificent views of Mesa Verde and Ute Mountains. Experienced very low temperatures but the home is extremely well insulated so we remained quite cozy. All appliances functioned well and easy to understand. Local restaurants, Once Upon A Sandwich, The Farm, and Columbine (Mancos), have made from scratch meals, soups, desserts. These were so tasty. Love the local quilt shop also.
