We had a nice and clean room with an amazing view of Mesa Verde. I would definitely pay the extra money for the convenience of already being in the park versus the 45 minute drive if you stay in one of the nearby towns.

it's in the middle of the park, it's above cabin camping in my eyes so with that said it is great location in order for you to check out the cave dwellings we did 3 tours and some on our own. you only need 2 days to do the park

Good place to stay if you are touring Mesa Verde Ruins as it is directly in the park. Very convenient to stay here. AC in room wasn’t great but the rooms was clean. There was no TV In the room. On Wednesday evenings they have live music on the terrace so that was nice!

This place was fantastic! The view was fabulous, it’s so peaceful and convenient being right in the middle of a national park, and the location made it easy to get some work done while fitting in tours and sight seeing throughout the afternoon. The staff were wonderful and the restaurant with the view is top notch. I’m so glad that I found this gem- it really was the highlight of my trip to Mesa Verde National Park

Trip was amazing, Far view lodge was clean staff were great and helpful. The room had no tv or microwave, which for us was not an issue. You need permits for some of the trails so look that up so that you dont show up and not able to do certain ones. Food at the lodge was great especially the breakfast buffet. The gift shop was not overly expensive, purchased a fe items there. All in all this is a great place to stay and convenient to park trails. I would love to go back and stay.

Loved staying right in Bational Park. Getting g to tours super-easy! Room with terrace has beautiful view of Dark Sky. Hot shower, nice enough shampoo etc. Loved the restaurant (Lawrence was our server). Cute amenities we didn’t get to use — billiards, library, board games. Hope to come back and stay again someday!

We really appreciated the location; it's very close to the Cliff House and Mesa Top loops. There were also great views from our room. The two options for on-site restaurants also have fantastic views and the staff were very friendly and attentive. These attributes made it easier to forgive other aspects of our stay: dirty windows, a dirty bathroom floor, broken soap dispenser, towels that had holes in them, lumpy pillows, peeling wall paint, very thin walls, bird droppings on the patio furniture. We are generally pretty relaxed about budget accommodations, but anyone booking here should be prepared for rooms that need some TLC.
