Family Time

The house was located close enough to town for easy travel between us and family living there. Large enough to accommodate all of us during the day and evening meals. Bedroom and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable for 4 adults. The living area large and comfortable enough for up to 12 to gather, play games and enjoy meals. Very clean and well stocked. Easy check-in and check-out.

Great location - close to Mesa Verde

We enjoyed staying at this house. It was a close drive to Mesa Verde, Canyons of the Ancients and other hikes. We loved having the fenced in backyard for the dog as well. The owners have everything labeled well in the house and take care to be eco-friendly.

Funky neighborhood but good for dogs

Property was clean and well furnished. Back porch was more cluttered than picture. Nice bedding but other than master bedrooms were small. Kitchen well stocked. Pellet fireplace not working which was disappointing as we were there when it was cold. Dog loved the yard.

Loved it!

The home is just that...a home. Much more comfortable than a hotel. Clean and organized, with lots of local literature showing where to go and what to do. Pet friendly, and we enjoyed visits from a couple of felines on the porch (Salem, our feline, spent time at the door with twitching tail). Just an all around good place to stay. Check-in and -out instructions were clear and easy to follow. Caretaker's number was provided, along with the hosts, for questions and information. We will definitely remember this home for the next time we visit.

Great views of Snow Covered Mountains

As a family, we spend almost every Thanksgiving together in Cortez. The majority of our family lives in Cortez, but my husband and I and our son and daughter-n-law travel from other places, and hence why we rent a home to stay in during that time. This year was our first time renting this location and we found it to be very comfortable, close in proximity to Cortez amenities, and good for our dogs. Thank you.

Convenient location

Well, we were very impressed with the location because we were able to go to Telluride, visit Moab, Utah, visit Mancos, also we were able to explore the scenery and also go to Durango Colorado. It was a short ride.The best thing about the property was that we enjoyed the location. It was very clean and the TVs were easy to work and figure out everything.We would definitely stay there again just because it was a close location to friends as well while visiting. Also, it was easy to get to the grocery store which was about 3 to 5 minutes up the road along with the stores there that were feed stores, but they accommodated for any kind of cold weather equipment for clothing like it got really cold when we were there and everything was easily accessible

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Our 1st priority was a fenced yard for our beagles. The photos in the listing showed a well groomed yard. But, when we arrived the yard was so overgrown we couldn't even keep our dogs in sight. The fence needed repairs. So, the yard was unuseable to us. The evap cooler went out & the host did bust his tail trying to get a replacement for us. Having 4 days of 87 inside Dan, the host, gave us a partial refund. That was kind of him. Our other complaint was the unexplained charges after booking. We booked with Vrbo but Evolve took over. With Vrbo we were given a quote for our booking & after Evolve took over we were charged an additional 300 dollars. Evolve blamed Vrbo. Nothing was resolved so we basically got taken advantage of. Looks like Evolve is in partnership with Vrbo with some listings. We will never book anything again with any booking where Evolve is connected.

I really loved staying there! It’s a beautiful little house, in a quiet residential neighborhood very close to downtown Cortez, and very close to Mesa Verde. The house is eco friendly, with a lot of energy and water saving features (heat pump/evaporative cooler, low flow toilet with 2 flushing options). They also have a mini washer and dryer. The neighbors are friendly. It was lovely, and I would love to be able to stay there again. Thank you!

Lovely place to stay for a week to explore the area. There are manny special touches that make the home a true delight including gifts from Linda’s business. How lovely is that? Dan and Linda were super responsive when we had an issue with a non- functioning appliance and got the whole issue resolved within the hour. A true 5 star experience

Christmas in Cortez

My husband, our 3 adult children and our pets all reunited in this cozy home for Christmas. It was exactly as stated in the listing. It felt like home and I honestly didn’t want to leave. We slept comfortably and it was a great place to have pets. Everything was clean and there was so much information on Cortez and Durango and even notes about different things throughout the house. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone.

Bird Oasis

Pros:We loved the song birds on the property. We loved breakfast on the back porch and watching movies on the comfortable couch! Air fresheners were delightful and it was appreciated to have laundry on site! The location was perfect for our planned adventures too. There were a few cons: the backyard was overgrown and unusable by our children. Dog hair imbedded in couch- gross.

Quiet, clean, roomy

The location of this house was at the end of a quiet street so that was nice. The screened-in porch was a great place to sit in the evening. My only complaint was the back yard. the good news is it's fenced in so pets can roam freely. The issue is it is growing wild. It needs some attention to be safe for pets and children. The kitchen was roomy, the rooms were great, the grill worked nicely.
