Excellent property, great location for exploring Mesa Verde. Michelle was very welcoming and offered us some food recommendations for the local area. The photos do not do this place justice - super cute and quirky. The walk behind the back of the property allowed us to get some great sunrise shots too.

Fantastic Property, Gracious Host

This property was absolutely gorgeous! Nestled along a tree-filled gulch, filled with flowers and a flowing stream, it was most relaxing. In the evening, the stars were spectacular. Sunrise and sunset were breathtaking. The interior was clean, comfortable, and cozy, and the kitchen was well stocked. Michelle was so gracious! She was knowledgeable about the area, and so friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with her.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Eagle

Host profile image
Deerhaven guest Cottage, Grizzly Rose guest Cottage and the Bears Den studio apartment are located at Ravensnest. The property was originally owned by my parents and is considered our home place. I purchased it in 1989 from my parents and I have created an incredible Spirit of place. My parents both worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs and dedicated their lives to working on Native Reservations. They were both detailed to Mescalero Apache Reservation. The home was vacant and decided to purchase and created my incredible space. I have dedicated 30 years working in the Arctic Circle helping to provide dental services to the Native Children. I am honored and humbled by my work and am profoundly greatful for the that opportunity.

Why they chose this property

Ravensnest is situated between the backside of Mesa Verde and the front view of the Sleeping Ute Mountain in the valley south of Cortez. Panoramic views of the entire Valley can be seen on the property. Magical sunsets and superb stargazing can be seen while enjoying your spiritual retreat.

What makes this property unique

Ravensnest has a labyrinth, a traditional medicine wheel, and a ceremonial tipi. There is a shrine, reflecting ponds, koi ponds and peace gardens to connect to the universe.
