Brand new listing! Big discounts while we earn our first 5-star reviews!
OVERVIEW The Main House sits on a quiet four‑acre property with a private gate that opens directly into Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. Walk from the porch to public‑land trails—no driving or easements. Big‑sky views, true dark‑sky nights, and an open, light‑filled floor plan make this an easy base for Mesa Verde, Cortez, and Four Corners adventures.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Private gate on the property for instant trail access into Canyons of the Ancients • Bright, open living room with wall‑of‑windows to the high‑desert view and a cozy gas stove • Fast Starlink Wi‑Fi and a dedicated workspace for remote work • Simple, contactless self check‑in and an effortless checkout

PARKING & ARRIVAL • On‑site parking for 2–3 vehicles dedicated to the Main House; trailer or RV by prior approval only • Rural road access; expect typical high‑desert conditions and seasonal weather
REMOTE HOSTING & LOCAL SUPPORT • We manage remotely from North Carolina and are a phone call or message away • Our local team in Cortez provides on‑the‑ground support
