Great pet friendly stay
We had a great stay at the bungalow. It had every amenity you could need and our dogs loved the fenced back yard. As other reviews mentioned you have to back out onto the steeet from the carport but we never really had an issue. We only noticed traffic around 8am and 4pm and it was never an issue. Would definitely stay here again!

Outstanding House in Cortez
This charming, cozy, well-organized, and nicely appointed home was perfect for our three night stay. Jamie and Rodney should provide training to other VRBO hosts on how to prepare and manage a VRBO property! Great instructions and labels in the house. They seem to have thought of everything guests will need.

This is one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed at. Everything was so nice and clean, the hosts were very thoughtful, and the beds were great. We can’t wait to arrange time to get back.

A Unique Gem
I have been lucky to experience quite a few rental properties all over the World, and the attention to detail in this particular property, is astounding! Every little thing that a guest could need, has been thought about & catered for. Extremely tasteful & clean too. We would thoroughly recommend this property, and the area where it resides, is a place we will never forget.

Fabulous Place!
This is, by far, the best VRBO we've stayed at. Not only was the house spotless and tastefully decorated, the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of parking. Other huge perks were the fact that there wasn't a huge check out list of things to do (thank you!) and, unlike other places we've stayed, we were left with plenty of dishwasher and laundry detergent. That was a huge bonus! We can't recommend this place enough! The proximity to Mesa Verde National Park was also an added bonus!

Superb accommodations and location!
House was very well equipped with all essentials as well as very well appointed. Hosts were helpful with leaving lots of information about local shopping and areas of interest in the area including contact to ask if there were any questions or concerns. The attractions in the area are phenomenal so there’s no loss of things to do. We did not have a dog but dogs are welcome and a large fenced yard.

We were so pleased with the entire experience starting with the curb appeal, condition of yard & opening the door! The owner has thought of everything you may need on your stay & more. So immaculate & pleasantly comfortable - especially the bedding. Never slept better (incl @ home)!! Thank you😍

Best Vacation Rental!
We absolutely loved our stay. The house was extremely tidy and homey. It had the best backyard for our dogs that came along the way as well. We will most definitely be staying again next year for our yearly trip to Cortez!
