A Peaceful Retreat

Quiet, clean, invigorating! Everything a vacation should be. Would have loved to spend much longer. Michelle was very helpful and informative. Facilities were well-stocked, clean, and uniquely decorated. There were many personal touches that put you in touch with nature and her heritage. Well worth the trip from Indianapolis and would love to do it again.

Peaceful & Relaxing Respite

After busy days at nearby Mesa Verde NP, Deer Haven was a great place to kickback and relax! Homey and very clean, with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen to prepare any meal. Great Patio overlooking the garden complete with a babbling brook & hummingbird feeder and views of the nearby mountains. Michelle is a very helpful and friendly host, interested in making your stay a wonderful experience.

Awesome Place to Stay

This is a gem! The place is super clean and has everything you need. The American Indian art and furnishings is beautiful and thoughtful. The owner pays attention to detail and has nice grounds. I wish I stayed longer! The owner is fabulous and so nice! I’ve recommended it to family and friends. I’ll be back!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Eagle

I am from Santa Clara Pueblo, a direct descendent of the Ancient Puebloan Culture. I am very connected to Mesa Verde Country and am proud to call the four corners my home.

Why they chose this property

My parents initially owned this property and were relocated to another Indian reservation. They were both working with the BIA at Towaoc, Colorado. When they moved to Mescalero Apache Reservation in 1989, I purchased the property from them. Since then I have added and remodeled Ravensnest. In 1997, the Grizzly Rose Guest Cottage was built and I opened the Grizzly Roadhouse B&B. The summer of 2013, I remodeled the cottage. In May of 2014, construction began on Deer Haven Guest Cottage. It has been completed and is ready as a vacation rental.

What makes this property unique

Ravensnest is situated on the back side of Mesa Verde. We can view Mesa Verde to the east and the Sleeping Ute to the west. We are surrounded by mesas and mountains, with incredible hiking and walking in our backyard. I have created a very spiritual place with shrines and meditation gardens. My native culture and spirituality is reflected in my property and is vital to my creative being. Come and explore and be part of an amazing culture.
