One of the kind place
see stars from the bed on stage! You don’t need to be sitting outdoor to embrace the outdoor views. Great for family that doesn’t need a lot of privacy. Easy access to la plata canyon, best place to stay near mesa verde while still have mountains instead of dessert scenery.

Wonderful View
This property is stunning on the views. It is comfortable. The only thing is it only has one bedroom and it’s hot. The other two beds are in the living room. One bed is on a stage (use to be a dance hall). There is no railing down the stairs which is not good for older people. All in all we had a good time. We did have a bat in the roof. He didn’t really bother us too bad.

Sword of truth ranch
First of all the pictures on VRBO do NOT do this property justice!! As soon as we entered the house we were blown away at the amazing log work inside the home as well as the views from inside!! I joked with my wife that the house was overkill for just the two of us but we ended up having a fantastic experience overall!! Love this house and will definitely look into it again in the future!!

Comfortable with Pretty views
This property was larger than I expected but in the sense of openness. The main room is large and open and has a beautiful view of the mountains. It snowed 16-18 inches and it made for gorgeous scenery. There was a restaurant about 2 miles down that road that was pretty darn good. I recommend this place if you have a 6-10 group.

Short holiday get away
My wife and I enjoyed our stay and the home was everything as advertised. Just outside of Durango but minutes away and only 45 minutes from Purgatory. We were hoping the Hesperus ski area would be open to do some tubing but it was not. Just FYI for this time of year and nothing at all to do with the home. Thank you!

This home was amazing for our small family getaway! The home is spectacular. We were actually surprised with a bear sighting to our delight. We went to Mesa Verde and Durango. We all enjoyed my husband playing the piano and the acoustics were fabulous. I love unique rentals and this was perfect.

Wow factor!
The views are incredible. Lots of space to spread out. Great communication with host when we had an issue with the refrigerator. He got everything fixed quickly. Just a quick tip... bring a sleep mask and ear plugs... there's no escaping the sun with all of those beautiful enormous windows and if you have any light sleepers, the shared space can be a bit noisy. We truly did enjoy this unique stay and it is a beautiful place indeed!!!

Stunning Views
The property is even better than the pictures show. The views are to die for and the short distance from town makes it peaceful without having to be too far away. The check-in process was easy and everything was easily explained about the property and what comes with it. We enjoyed our stay, the listing presented the beds as separate bedrooms, but they are in open space. Going forward, maybe advertise as no bedrooms but beds in open space.
