Comfy Cabin

Twisted Cedars Ranch is just a darling place. It is beautifully decorated, clean and cozy. Everything we needed was there. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area. The owners are friendly and they checked to see that we had everything that we needed.

So close to Mesa Verde

We LOVED staying here in this clean, well stocked rental! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals in, and we loved the proximity to Mesa Verde! Comfortable bed, warm flannel sheets for winter weather, and fun watching wildlife out the windows! I do recommend bringing your slippers! The tile floor was cold! ☺️ Thank you to our hosts for a truly restful weekend rental!

Why they chose this property

City life just didn't suit us anymore. We were looking for something quiet, peaceful and on lots of private land. We love the peace and quiet this property lends. We have access to a huge outdoor playground which is wonderful.

What makes this property unique

This location is close to three cities which offer a variety of events and services. In the summer there are Farmer's Markets and Donkey Parades in Mancos, Durango has the Silverton Train, rafting on the Animas River and Cortez has mountain biking and the Mesa Verde National Park. In the wintertime Purgatory Ski Resort is in Durango.
