Mesa Verde retreat

This was a very clean place with a lovely view. It was easy to be to and is in a good location for visiting Mesa Verde and all of the area around there. Marcos, which is close by, has a nice little pizza parlor and grocery store. The Marcos Brewery is also a great place!

Perfect location

The house was absolutely perfect for our trip. We had plans to do two guided tours at Mesa Verde National Park early the next morning. The house is literally just a few minutes from the park’s entrance. It was very inviting and lovely. Couldn’t have been any better, seriously! Many thanks to the owners.

Perfect for us!

1st, my wife and I give the owners 5 stars for cleanliness, communication and the property is AS ADVERTIZED! When we had questions, we were answered promptly and completely. The place was clean and feels new. This is a fully functional efficiency apartment that was perfect for me, my wife and our dogs, as advertised. Next, I give the property 5 stars for functionality and location. Everything in the house that we needed worked... A/C, stove, coffee maker, etc. The property is in a nice rural residential neighborhood with some beautiful views. About 5 minutes to the entrance of Mesa Verde N.P. About 5 minutes east is Mancos...we loved the sandwiches at Zuma grocery. And my wife LOVED her chai latte from Fahrenheit Roasters in downtown Mancos. 10 minutes west is Cortez which has everything you'll need...gas, grocery, restaurants, laundromat, Super Walmart etc. Durango is about 35 minutes east and has even more restaurants, grocery, etc. Less than 20 minutes to Mancos S.P. We recommend both the pizza and beer from Mancos Brewery. So, 5 stars overall and we highly recommend. Thanks to Mike and Erin for providing a perfect stay for this vacation.

Perfect for our visit to Mesa Verde

We enjoyed our stay at this well-appointed property! Exceptionally clean! The bed was very comfortable as were the recliners in the living room. Kitchen was well stocked with the dishes/utensils needed to prepare all our meals during our stay. The location was perfect. Lots of privacy while being just minutes from MV Park entrance. Thank you, Michael and Erin, for making our visit to MV easy and memorable.

The ease of accessing Mesa Verde from here was perfect. My daughter and I are doing a mother/daughter road trip. The place was very clean and more important welcoming and comfortable.

Wonderful property, close to Mesa Verde

We loved staying here! Mike and Erin's property felt private and quiet. It was clean, and had all the amenities we could ask for. The proximity to Mesa Verde was fantastic, just a 5 minute drive, and 8 minutes into Mancos for groceries and restaurants. They were very communicative, and check-in/out instructions were clear and simple. They were also very responsive with the couple of questions we had during our stay. Thanks for a great stay!

Awesome Access to Mesa Verde!

We arrived near Mesa Verde in the late afternoon, and the entire area was foggy so we could not see anything. That was a real let down as we had driven 9 hours to get there, and had to head out in the morning for the next leg of our adventure. HOWEVER, when we woke up in the morning and walked out the door to pack the car we saw the MOST STUNNING view of the Point Lookout mesa at Mesa Verde National Park from the front door of our stay! We ultimately took the time to drive through the park because of that, so the location of this suite cannot be overemphasized. Check in and out were very easy, and Mike and Erin were responded quickly to any questions we had.
