Far View Lodge was located approximately half way between the Visitors Center of park and points of interests. The lodge is operated by a concessionaire. Employees had limited knowledge/information of the park. It was difficult getting any info from them. The lodge rooms are extremely small for a family of four. There’s not many people staying there and it seems that they could have afforded making rooms a little bigger. It was difficult moving around the rooms with four adults and our luggage. The restaurant was great! Delicious food for a fine dining experience.

We loved the Far View Lodge! We had a room with a view and the sunset was amazing. Clean room that kept with the Mesa Verde theme. If you are going to Mesa Verde, I would definitely recommend staying here! Shaves about 40 mins off your drive time to the hikes and cliff dwelling tours.

Would not go back!

Three good things....bed was comfortable, good view ( wild horses right out our window ), only place close to stay near the main part of the Park. Unfortunately, there were more bad things than good, especially considering the price! Linens were clean but badly stained, towels were ragged, baseboard off in the bathroom, ( a 5 minute repair job ), filter on the air conditioning unit was completely covered in dust and lint, maid help did not understand enough English to understand what was needed ( finely we helped ourselves to the necessary items from the open store room ), and those are only the things we can remember. The Lodge offers the only place to eat within miles and the food was so poor that we chose to eat cheese and crackers in the room for two nights! Unfortunately, if you don't want to drive the 25 miles back to Cortez, this is your only option!

Inside the park!

If you go to National Parks frequently, you understand that staying inside the park cuts down so much time! From the entrance to the roads that lead to the dwellings, is a solid 30+ minute drive. The hotel had two dining options and a great little gaming area my kids enjoyed playing board games. We enjoyed our room, and loved looking at the stars in the evening. A great stay.

COMPLETE FAILURE: Arrived at check-in, only to be told by the hotel that they had cancelled our booking - still not found any prior notice from them. Probably the hotel over-booking and trying to get more like an airline? Well legally they may be entitled to do that (who knows?). But it does mean that deserve a zero mark. Not sure I can do that so a (very reluctant) one star.

Our room definitely needed some repairs. The shower door had to be lifted just so it would shut. The refrigerator was leaking water. The worse thing was my husband and I saw a mouse run across the room. After that we left the room went to the front desk. They offered us a different room but couldn’t guarantee that there wouldn’t be another mouse,said it was that time of the year. We choose not to stay at the Lodge that night.We were refunded. The staff member said they had started renovating some of the rooms hopefully they do all of them We did eat supper at there lounge .They food was very good.

I love the National Parks, and so wish I could give this property a good rating. There were a couple of good things about our stay. One, we had a great dinner at the lodge restaurant. Two, it was very convenient to be able to stay in the park. However, our night’s stay was pretty awful—due to mice in our room. I spoke with another guest in the parking lot who also had a terrible night because of mice in their room. When I spoke to the front desk about it in the morning,, they weren’t apologetic at all—said yea, every National Park property has mice, squirrels or raccoons. What?? You should warn your guests to leave all food in their cars then, and work on getting rid ot the mice! It’s hard to beat the convenience ot staying in the park, but customers should know what they’re getting into!
