Lovely place to stay for a week to explore the area. There are manny special touches that make the home a true delight including gifts from Linda’s business. How lovely is that?
Dan and Linda were super responsive when we had an issue with a non- functioning appliance and got the whole issue resolved within the hour. A true 5 star experience

Perfect for our short stay but would have been perfect for an extended stay. Comfortable, well appointed, lots of literature for thing to so in the area.
Equipped with everything we could have wanted.

The location of this house was at the end of a quiet street so that was nice. The screened-in porch was a great place to sit in the evening. My only complaint was the back yard. the good news is it's fenced in so pets can roam freely. The issue is it is growing wild. It needs some attention to be safe for pets and children.
The kitchen was roomy, the rooms were great, the grill worked nicely.

My husband, our 3 adult children and our pets all reunited in this cozy home for Christmas. It was exactly as stated in the listing. It felt like home and I honestly didn’t want to leave. We slept comfortably and it was a great place to have pets. Everything was clean and there was so much information on Cortez and Durango and even notes about different things throughout the house. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone.

The property was nice, especially the patio. The kitchen and bathrooms were not clean and not well stocked, either. It would have been a great stay if it was CLEAN.

After I booked this home for our visit to Cortez, Colorado, my husband read a negative review written by a disgruntled visitor. We were a bit nervous, but we decided to keep our booking and we were glad we did. OMG, I don’t know what they were talking about. We loved it! This is a really nice home. The bedrooms are very nicely decorated. Comforting and classy. We loved the wall art and photos throughout the house. Also, the house was super clean. The backyard was a little rough, but it’s obvious the homeowners are trying to create an oasis in the desert southwest with large fruit trees, native wildflowers, bushes, and grass in a region that has suffered from severe drought for many years. There are even solar panels on the roof. We’ll definitely be back next year for our vacation. There’s so much to do in this area. Loved visiting the Indian ruins. Great mountain biking and hiking for our family.

Caution! Caution! Caution!
The layout of the house was wonderful. The furniture was comfortable and the decor was beautiful. However, the house was dirty when we arrived and was overrun with ants and mice. The queen size beds were more like full size beds. The yard is big but it’s totally overgrown. Our toy poodle couldn’t play in it at all. People expecting to have a fenced in yard for their children to play will be greatly disappointed. I saw live mice on 2 occasions. We couldn’t use the kitchen because of the ants and the mice droppings everywhere. We had to eat all of our meals out. We had not planned on this extra expense. The property owner sent someone to drop off mice traps and ant traps. The hot water heater is set on a timer and my son took a freezing cold shower on our
last full day there. Several times my husband ran out of hot water before he was finished with his shower. The property owner asked for my address because he said he was going to give me a partial refund. We just checked out this morning so I don’t know if he’s actually going to do that or not. He’s in Missouri now and plans on being in Colorado on August 7th. Once he takes care of the ants and the mice and cleans the house really well, it should be fine. Especially once he removes the timer from the hot water tank and cleans up the back yard.

The interior of the home is in decent condition. We we're not pleased with the outside porch, missing a door and several window panels had torn screens. We were able to sit out on the porch and enjoy the evenings, but later in the summer the bugs would probably prevent use of the porch. The backyard was completely overgrown. The property manager was charming and we enjoyed our conversation with her. I would stay here again, but if planning to use the backyard, you definitely need to verify it has been cleaned up.

Pros:We loved the song birds on the property. We loved breakfast on the back porch and watching movies on the comfortable couch! Air fresheners were delightful and it was appreciated to have laundry on site!
The location was perfect for our planned adventures too.
There were a few cons: the backyard was overgrown and unusable by our children. Dog hair imbedded in couch- gross.
