In Town - Peaceful, Eclectic Casita with Fire Pit

Fresh. Modern. Eclectic. Peaceful. This sparkling clean, newly-constructed one-bedroom Casita sleeps up to 4 and boasts a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable living space, and all the amenities of home. Outdoor space at the Casita is developed, including a fire pit.

The Casita is not suitable for children under 12 years. There are cactus and antiques within a curious child's reach that may cause harm.

The Casita is a short walk to downtown Historic Mancos. Named the most charming small town in Colorado by Travel Channel, Mancos is a great base camp for your 4 corners adventuring. Well known for its hospitality and artisans community, the riverside town of Mancos is the "Gateway to Mesa Verde". Only 7 miles from the entrance to the park and 30 miles from Durango with easy access to a multitude of outdoor activities including mountain biking, hiking, and skiing. The casita is located just steps away from all that downtown Historic Mancos has to offer; galleries, restaurants, coffee shops, bakery, cidery and brewery as well as a Recreational Marijuana Dispensary.

Off-street parking space is provided with private access to the Casita.

We are new to VRBO; It's in the details as noted in the pictures and sample of reviews (see below)!

The landscape on the property is mature with a new landscape currently under development around the Casita. Please be assured, we will make every effort not to disturb the peaceful environment as we complete the landscape installation.

The Casita does not meet ADA standards for handicap accessibility.

Winter fun:
*Chicken Creek Nordic Area provides great groomed skiing - 5.4 miles from Mancos.
*Telluride Ski Resort is 80.6 miles
*Purgatory Resort is 54.7 miles

Commercial Airports:
Cortez-Cortez Municipal Airport - Airport Rd, Cortez, CO 81321 (23 miles away)
Durango-La Plata County Airport - 1000 Airport Rd, Durango, CO 81303 (39.5 miles away)

Please note: Additional cleaning fees may be applicable for stays longer than 2 weeks.

A sample of reviews from another short-term rental site with a 5.0 rating:
"Sweet and beautifully decorated, super clean and great walking distance to town. Catherine and Ed were super hosts. Highly recommend if visiting the area!"

"Beautiful casita with a very thoughtful design! You will look forward to relaxing here after a long day of exploring the area. Mancos is a very cute town and the location is convenient for day trips to Mesa Verde, Telluride, Durango, Pagosa Spring etc... Catherine and Ed are very nice, you can tell that they have put a lot of time and energy into creating a relaxing and private space for their guests. Don't forget to spend an evening at the Fenceline Cidery and have breakfast at the Absolute Bakery & Café, both are walking distance from the Casita."

"This Casita is by far the best we have ever stayed in. Everything in the casita is of the highest quality and Catherine and Ed are excellent hosts. We wanted for nothing. Communication was prompt, check-in and check-out a breeze (truth be told, even after five days, we weren't certain that we wanted to check out), and the grounds were superbly landscaped, perfect for evening relaxation. The casita is so well designed that the use of the windows and shades to trap the night cool air for the next day left us perfectly comfortable during this unseasonable hot weather. No worries there. We will always look to Catherine & Ed's place first when planning our trips to SW Colorado. If you're reading this review, book the Casita. You'll love it."

Fabulous Casita!

We loved our stay in the Casita. It’s beautifully designed, comfortable, and thoughtfully furnished. We especially enjoyed the private back yard and landscaping, but there is so much more to love here. The location is perfect for visiting Mesa Verde NP, Durango and Telluride. We walked to and around the historic town of Mancos every day. Our hosts Cathy and Ed were great, always available and generous. This was our best ever VRBO experience!

Beautiful, comfortable and a good location

This casita will knock your socks off when you open that front door. It is well designed and very inviting. It has a stocked kitchen. We cooked every dinner of our stay and the kitchen had every pan and utensil we needed. WiFi was good and reliable. The bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. There is tons of storage for your stuff included suitcases in the huge bedroom closet. We also used the pull out couch and it too was comfortable. The bedding was soft and went a long way to give you a good nights sleep. The towels and other bath items were sparkling white and soft to the touch. The washer and dryer did a good job on the one load we did of jeans and t-shirts. There is a front porch where you can sit and watch the world go by. One of the huge bonuses of this place is its location. Only a few miles from the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park. Durango is just 28 miles to the east with the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge train and one of the most beautiful rides in the US, the Million Dollar Highway (US 550). Even though Mancos is a small town it packs a lot into that tiny package. Downtown Mancos is a short distance and worth a visit. There is a well stocked grocery store and multiple good restaurants. The hosts Cathy and Ed were the best. They made sure we had everything we needed. Their communication is top notch. If you're considering this place, go for it, you won't regret it.
