Located on 550 ac. working farm, Master Bedroom, loft (sleeps up to six), living room (sleeps 2); washer, dryer, full kitchen, outdoor patio and balcony, a pond and lots of wildlife. Sleeps 5 adults comfortably and up to 4 children (till young teenagers). There are 2 queen beds, one full bed, one twin, one futon and one hideaway available for sleeping. It is central to all major attractions. Fourteen miles north of Cortez, CO. 1.5 hours from Durango, CO, 1 hr. to Telluride, CO or 1.5 hrs. Moab, UT, 3/4 hr. to Mesa Verde, Anazasi ruins in close vicinity to cabin. The cabin is within easy travelling to some of Colorado's best biking and hiking areas. We are 18 minutes from Phil's World, which is rated in Colorado's best trails. Boggy Draw is 20 minutes away which is an area many of our locals go to. Mesa Verde Country.com lists nine trails with over 600 miles in our area. Some of our guests come to do fishing on the Dolores River, which is about 15 minutes away. Whichever activity you choose, you will find there is always more you can do.
As you sit on the loft balcony or just outside the living room or master bedroom at night, you will see a wonderful display of stars. We have hosted guests for eight years, we truly enjoy meeting everyone!

Peaceful
The farm and location are beautiful and peaceful, which was exactly what we needed after our adventure-filled days. We were easily able to visit Mesa Verde and Four Corners from here. The location is conveniently close to a variety of towns with restaurants & groceries, but far enough that there is almost no light pollution. We had a beautiful unobstructed view from the balcony of sunset, moonset & seemingly every star in the night sky. Dan & Norma are wonderful hosts and provide a lot if thoughtful amenities.

Great stay!
Dan and Norma are wonderful hosts! This was the perfect homebase for our solar eclipse trip. We had everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean and close to Mesa Verde and Four Corners. Norma told us about the Lowry Pueblo ruins, a little hidden gem nearby. Cortez is only 15 minutes away with some fun shops and restaurants (we suggest Lounging Lizard if you like pub type food). A relaxing, peaceful stay!

Just perfect…..
Just returned home from our 2 week vacation and have to say this little cabin was the highlight of our trip! Dan and Norma were so accommodating and welcomed us with open arms. I grew up in Cortez and they reminded me of what a friendly little community it truly is. If you ever get to visit the Cortez/Yellow Jacket area, be sure to stay here. It is just perfect in every way.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Duncan, property owner

Host profile image
Dan grew up 7 miles northwest of current home. He is a retired pilot, who flew so he could farm and ranch. Norma retired (5/2016) after 31 years of teaching and now I quilt and try to keep up. We have lived here 23 years, lived in Montana for 12 years and Las Vegas for 11 years.

Why they chose this property

This home was originally built because our son was an officer in the Marine Corps and it was his home when he came home for extended times. He now comes back a few times a year and our extended family and friends come to stay and enjoy the privacy.

We are centrally located to many of the main attractions in Southwest Colorado. The land we are located on have a view of the Sleeping Ute Mountain, the La Plata range, Blue Mountains and Lizzard Head.

What makes this property unique

You will love the view, solitude, and the stars at night.
