We loved staying here! The setting was quiet and beautiful! The deck was a fantastic place to sit and watch deer…read a book … eat dinner…will definitely go back if we are in that area again!
Perfect spot for a get away with the family! Dean was an excellent host and was quick to respond to any questions. Wish we could have stayed longer. The experience was great.
This is our second rental of this property. The house is well thought out and well maintained. It was also clean. We will stay here again on our next visit.

Tiny house with a gorgeous view.
This property was exactly what we had hoped. Equipped with everything you need and more. And a gorgeous view.
We loved staying here! Check in and check out was a breeze, communication was wonderful. But this location was just perfect for what we were looking for. Close enough to Cortez, Delores and Mesa Verde; but further enough out to be peaceful. We love taking in the amazing views on the deck and walking the property. We will definitely stay again if in the area!
If you want to “get away from it all”, this place is FOR YOU! I loved the location and all the amenities it offered….especially Miss Kitty!! 🐱
Conveniently located with easy access to Four Corners, Hovenweep, Telluride, and Mesa Verde. Definitely plan to be back!
If you want great views and privacy this is the place for you. Centrally located to Mesa Verde National Park, Durango and the Million dollar highway. It’s a gem for the size and was perfect for our home base while we did sightseeing during the day. A peaceful retreat with wildlife out your front door.

Heavenly
This has been the best VRBO we have stayed in, owners have thought of everything. Amazing star gazing from the deck at night, nothing to obstruct the view. Very close to Mesa Verde, we did a lot of hiking and site seeing while here. I would recommend this to friends and family.
Very quiet and secluded, except for someone being at the shop next door the whole time, we never saw them just heard them.
Very clean, and host was always prompt to answer any questions.
Only complaint, road was NOT ideal for a motorcycle, gravel very loose but is thankfully short!
Overall VERY enjoyable stay, clean and comfortable !

The property manager uses the west side of the shop occasionally. The company truck gets parked there. My wife and I ride our enduros on that road with no issues. Now I know it’s too rugged for Harley types.

Great experience!
Dean and Tara have have created a great experience, they have thought of everything to make this the perfect place to get away from it all and explore Mesa Verde and the surrounding area! Plus the dogs give it 5 paws up too!
Thanks Dean!

So glad you appreciated the house and area as much as we do!
The property is located about 2.5 miles from the little town of Dolores CO (which has moved upscale since my last visit with a really good cafe and brewpub).
The property is just as pictured, but what can't be seen is the quiet. It's really quiet here, private and very peaceful, and it's a great base for exploring the area.
Dean was a great host, responded to my one question about wifi, and I enjoyed my stay.

Alfred, I'm glad everything worked out. Thanks for feeding Ms Kitty too!
Beautiful peaceful location - very private but with easy access to Dolores, Cortez, and countless outdoor opportunities.
Dean is a great host and offers excellent, quick, and reliable communication.
He has made his home very comfortable with many touches that demonstrate he cares about his guests' stay.
We are looking forward to returning soon to this wonderful vacation home.
Best place ever!
Deans place is amazing! Clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. Has all that you need. My favorite part is the porch overlooking the beautiful mountains. You can sit for hours. He’s also a great host. I’ll be back!

Wonderful cozy home
We truly enjoyed this home. The home has all the necessary amenities to make for a comfortable stay. It is secluded, quiet, well-maintained, clean and cozy. The owner was very accommodating and very pleasant to work with. The home is in close proximity to Mesa Verde National Park, the town of Cortez and town of Dolores. The home suited our small family of four very well. We look forward to a future stay!

Hi Amy! Thank you for being so easy to work with too. I hope you return to our wonderful Southwest Colorado.
My wife and I plus 2 dogs stayed here for 2 weeks and we didn’t want to leave. The house is prime location to do allot of stuff in less than a hour. Close to Mesa Verde National Park, Durango, Telluride, Mancos and of course the local town of Delores. We enjoyed all of the above and Dean was a fantastic host and we didn’t need a thing. The house was equipped with everything we needed and the property was the best thing about it. 35 acres with paths that we used to walk the dogs around the property, deer everywhere and wild life. Dean was a great host and don’t hesitate to book this property and we will definitely be back!!!

Luke, glad to hear you enjoyed this area and the property to the fullest. Also thanks for dealing with the bears in the trash can. I’ve now moved the trash into the locked laundry room. Nature is taking over!
Was exactly as advertised. And the home contained lots of thoughtful touches. For example all the light switches were labeled, all the paper products were provided, and the kitchen was well stocked.
This was such a peaceful setting! The star gazing is awesome. It was easy check in as Dean is very good about answering messages. The tiny house seemed much bigger than 400 Sq ft. It's a great set up with a laundry in the out building. He has everything you need there to cook and it was all spic and span! It's a great location to all your SW Colorado outings. We went to Mesa Verde National Park, 4 Corners, Hovenweep, Lowery Pueblo, The Musuem of the Ancients, and McElmos Canyon outside of Cortez. One more day would have allowed us to go to Telluride, but the weatherman said snow!
Thank you Dean for having such a gem of a place! We defintely recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful stay.

This was a beautiful and perfect getaway for my husband and I. The place was just what we needed and will definitely stay again. Thanks Dean for your hospitality.
