An amazing place in Cortez
The house was great. The house had everything you could need for a trip to the four corners. Lots of space, great location. The hosts were also great and very responsive. I will definitely stay again the next time I’m in the area.
We had a great relaxing stay in Cortez. The location is great for visiting Mesa Verde and the home had a lovely patio area with an open view. We BBQ’ed and watched the sunset from the hot tub. We had a great stay

This property was incredible. So clean! New appliances and the sheep roaming around made us smile every day. Hot tub was clean and great temperature. Lots of outdoor space with a grill and fire pit. Location was everything we wanted close to all of the parks aks Cortez is such a cute town. Highly recommend
We loved our stay recently. It really is a peaceful place to stay & close to town without feeling like you are in the middle of everything. The host couple was quick to respond to any questions we had! We will for sure be back!!
This was the perfect location for our family of five to stay when visiting Mesa Verde National Park. The house was clean and well stocked. The owners were easy to communicate with. Internet was reliable. Patio was wonderful spot to relax in the evening and watch the hummingbirds.

Great stay in lovely accomadations
We absolutely loved our stay in Cortez with Wendy and Richard. My friend and I have stayed in many vacation rentals and this was one of the best. Communication was great, property was very clean and well equipped. Mattresses were very comfy and the location was great. We loved walking out onto the trails behind the property and admiring the sheep and lambs. Would absolutely stay again.

From the owner: "Thank you, Victoria, for your nice review and for choosing to stay with us. Look forward to you visiting again."
The house was interesting and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The paper supplies were good quality. We felt like we were in the country, but shopping and restaurants were close. We used this for a base to explore around the 4 corners area. Outside of the house we were entertained by the sheep roaming the pasture and the hummingbirds visiting the feeders.
This home is so lovely and such a wonderful place to refresh after days out exploring. It’s spacious, clean, and beautifully and uniquely designed. We loved watching the sheep and walking the trails behind the property. It was also a convenient distance from Mesa Verde (we loved Balcony House!) and Four Corners. The outdoor space around the house was wonderful, the hot tub and lawn and patio in the evenings was perfect. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Beautifully decorated spacious 2 bedroom 2 & 1/2 bath with 3 living rooms nestled on a grassy farm just north of Cortez. Goats were cute and hiking trails out the back gate were a nice plus. Kitchen had everything of excellent quality. Hot tub was perfect, very hot and clean. Owners were very nice!

Our host Wendy and Richard were wonderful in communicating with from the day we checked. The personal touches were wonderful, the pictures shown is exactly how the house was. We loved sitting on the outside porch enjoying the sunset around the mountains, and I truly appreciated the updated and beautiful kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms.
Highly recommend staying at this wonderful home, until next time....

Great Rental!
My wife and I, and another couple stayed 4 nights while visting Mesa Verde. This was a fantastic find. The hosts know what they are doing. Nice park like setting, with beautiful outdoor setting. We appreciated the small things - the multiple hummingbird feeders were a nice touch. We felt like we were in Tuscany. Fun to watch the dogs work with the sheep. Location is ideal for a Mesa Verde visit. We will use this one again as a base when we do some of the western Utah parks. Highly recommended.
Quirky, comfortable, cozy house on a sheep farm. Spotlessly clean. Very comfortable and well stocked with all the needs. Communication with owners fabulous. One en-suite bedroom downstairs with 2 sitting areas, kitchen and dining table. Third living area upstairs with second en-suite bedroom. Outside lots of patio seating. Wonderful stay for 3 days!

Un-baa-lievably Cozy and Convenient
We had such a wonderful stay at this casa! It was incredibly comfortable and spacious, making it the perfect place for us to relax. The decor was adorable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and truly feel at home. The gas fire pit on the back porch made our springtime trip even more enjoyable—we loved sitting outside in the evening.The sheep were such a fun and unique addition. Wendy was super responsive, making sure we had everything we needed. The location of the casa was perfect for visiting the three national parks within driving distance, which made our trip even more memorable. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, well-equipped getaway!
