Quaint and quiet

Barbara's house fulfilled all of our needs. While the property is older, everything one needs for a comfortable stay is provided. We also enjoyed the quiet, country setting. Quick access to Mesa Verde National Park is also a plus.

Great little place to stay.

This stay was for my mom and my in-laws whale they were here for graduation. Quiet and clean! Only complaint are the stairs into the house are steep and hard for people to get up, especially if you are 70!

Great little spot near Mesa Verde

We enjoyed our weekend stay at Deer Creek Cottage. It's easy to get into Mesa Verde and around Cortez and Dolores. The cottage is very cute, clean, and has the basics needed for a weekend rental. Thank you!

Loved Mesa Verdi National

Had a great stay. Mesa Verdi National Park was just down the road and Cortez was close as well. The beds were very comfortable. While there we also road the Durango to Silverton railroad and also drove the San Juan Skyway. We happened to hit the fall colors at their peek! Loved it.

Check in was easy, we had everything we needed. The house is quite old and the interio not modern, but ok. It's located near the street, so you can hear the car's passing, but we could sleep well.If you want to go to Mesa Verde it is good to get there - only some minutes.The city of Cortez, where you find restaurants and supermarkets are near by.

This cute home was the perfect place to stay to visit Mesa Verde National Park and the high mountain town of Silverton. The home was very comfortable, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was small but wonderful. The bedrooms great. The fireplace insert was ready with wood inside, and gave us a fun evening in front of the fire. Everything was perfect. My wife and children rated the experience a 9 out of 10. Almost perfect.

Road Trip

It was a cute little house and central to what we were wanting to do. Only complaint TV would quit after about 9:30. Barbara was a very sweet and accommodating host. Very fun to visit with.

Glad to have them. It was unexpected to have lighting on the ridge that put out the tv boasters on the Mesa. We are working on an alternative movie sorce of watching TV off the internet. Sorry it had to happen during there stay.

Fit our needs perfectly

We were racing at the fairgrounds a mile away for the weekend, and being so close and convenient was perfect after a long, rainy couple of days! Everything was exactly as expected and super easy.

Great spot for exploring!

We are 4 seniors that were looking for a great spot to explore the 4 corners area. Deer Creek Cottage fit our expectations perfectly. Couldn’t ask for a better host. Barbra answered our questions and told us of places to visit. The cottage felt homey and and had everything we needed. Horses out the kitchen window was a great addition for me! We would stay again!

Great Location

Barbara has done a really nice job of making this a cozy, very comfortable and fully equipped home base for exploring the area. I especially enjoyed the views of Mesa Verde, Sleeping Ute and the San Juan Mountains from windows around the house. Deer Creek is conveniently located just 7 miles from the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park, about 10 miles from Canyons of the Ancients Visitor Center, and just a couple miles from the businesses on the east end of Cortez. I look forward to returning!

Clean and comfortable

With so many owners using wide angles to make things look bigger, we were surprised by the amount of space we had. The house was clean and comfortable. The spacious laundry room is nice, especially because we arrived here on our 14th day on the road. We also realli liked the map with pins 📌 showing the home base of previous guests.

Was perfect for us and had everything we needed. the host answered promptly when I had a question. Enjoyed beautiful sunsets from the front porch and morning coffee outside.

Much larger inside that picture makes it out to be

Great stay. very clean property. View the field and horses in back yard were outstanding. Watercooler did a decent job despite July heat. One large dip in road leading to house will take out kidneys and shocks if you hit it wrong angle. But the property itself was great. Enjoyed watching sunsets for porch. Thanks for the great stay.
