If you're looking for a peaceful spot with beautiful views of the mountains this is the place to be. Unwind in a private guest house located on ten acres with beautiful views of the La Plata Mountains, trees and wildlife. There is a large living room with a wood burning stove, a full kitchen and a quaint pub table for two which overlooks the La Plata Mountains. An additional pullout futon is available for sleeping.

Please note: The outside door pictured to the left of the main door of the guest house is a private door to a garage, it is not a second guest house and not accessible to guests. During the summer months the porch has two comfy chairs to sit on to watch humming birds, with great views of the mountains. Mesa Verde National Park is a little over 3 miles away. Phil’s World, a mountain bike paradise is 5 miles away. The city of Cortez is 13 miles away, the city of Mancos is 11 miles away and the city of Durango is 39 miles away. **4 wheel drive or all wheel drive is recommended during winter months **

Comfortable, Peaceful, Private Cabin in Beautiful Setting
My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights as we visited Mesa Verda NP. A very nice and clean accommodation that met all of our needs - full kitchen with everything needed to fix meals, good shower and comfortable bed. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. They left a loaf of zucchini (grown in their garden) bread and a bottle of champagne in the fridge with a nice note as we were celebrating our 40th anniversary. The cabin is located out in the country with no nearby neighbors visible from the cabin. It's about a 10 minute drive on a gravel road to the main road and maybe 5 minutes away from the entry gate to Mesa Verde. We loved the sweeping mountain views and watching the sunsets and sunrises. We highly recommend the Twisted Cedars cabin if you like a peaceful and relaxing environment. We would gladly return. And we give it 6 stars out of 5 with 5 being the highest!

A Beautiful Place Out in the Country
This is a beautiful and very quiet place out in the country! Loved the amenities like the oven, Keurig, and wood-burning stove. Clean, cozy and perfect getaway about 45 minutes from Mesa Verde. Chad and Heather were great hosts, they made the check-in and checkout processes easy and clear. Highly recommended!

Great stay just outside of Mesa Verde. Property located on the side of a ridge about 3 miles off the hard surface. Very quiet location. Enjoyed watching the Harvest moon rise from the east. Cottage is clean and comfortable and well equipped, as we like to cook in. Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful time
The perfect place to stay while we explored the Mesa Verde National Park. The property was located very near the park entrance. Beautiful views of the surrounding area and very charming. The hosts keep this place well maintained and organized. The hosts put a lot of effort into you have an amazing time here. My wife and I enjoyed our 3rd wedding anniversary while visiting and we were surprised that the hosts had a bottle of champagne and a note waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived. We would definitely recommend visiting this property.

Everything was great and it was as quiet as I had hoped. The only thing that was unexpected was being right next door to the owners home. I had in my mind that we were going to be more secluded

Comfortable & Close to Nature
Perfect place to stay to explore Mesa Verde area. Remote area so close to nature but with all the amenities needed! Very comfortable digs. The hosts obviously took great care as to what to provide in the guest house. They were also very responsive. Highly recommend!! One of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed at.

Lovely, cozy, and peaceful guest house
We really enjoyed our stay here. We walked around the property and just loved it. We also went outside aftet dark and saw so many stars. It was awesome. There are many adventures waiting for you here, from just 5 minutes away to an hour. We wish we could have stayed longer. Heather was a great hostess, with just the perfect amount of interaction. We would love to stay here again should we be in the area.

So close to Mesa Verde
We LOVED staying here in this clean, well stocked rental! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals in, and we loved the proximity to Mesa Verde! Comfortable bed, warm flannel sheets for winter weather, and fun watching wildlife out the windows! I do recommend bringing your slippers! The tile floor was cold! ☺️ Thank you to our hosts for a truly restful weekend rental!
