This was close to Mesa Verde which was wonderful -others also checked out the four corners but we did not. Stayed here for the sheep and we were not disappointed. Lovely house, great stargazing, owners were responsive and nice. The stairs up to the bed are the only part I would caution people on if they have to use the bathroom at night but there are hand rails and non slip footings which make it easier

Thank you for choosing us for your stay! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the property and the four corners area.
Yes, the stairs are steep. We do not recommend it for small children, the elderly or anyone with hip and knee problems.
We have made them as safe as we could due to the limited space to work with. It used to have a ladder before we had the stairs built.
If we could give 10 stars we would. This home is very clean and all the kitchen supplies are in new / excellent condition. Bed is very comfortable. Everything you could possibly need or want has been supplied. The property is very private and peaceful. The outdoor seating area is very cozy and you get to watch cute sheep in the field. We highly recommend this home.
From the owner: "Thank you for your wonderful review and thank you for staying with us! We hope you’ll visit again."
We really enjoyed our stay at this cute casita. The location was perfect for visiting Mesa Verde National Park and the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. We also visited the 4 Corners Monument and Shiprock, New Mexico. We enjoyed the hot tub after a long day of hiking. The location is quiet and the scenery was spectacular to watch the sunset. Watching the adorable sheep was an added bonus. Although we did not use the barbeque grill during our stay, it was a nice to have that option. Would highly recommend staying on this serene sheep ranch.
Thank you for your nice review and thank you for staying with us. We hope you’ll visit again.
It's an amazing location and property!! We enjoyed our opportunity to stay and explore the surroundings of Cortez. We can't wait to make a return trip and continue to take in the exhilarating views and interesting shops.

From the owner: "Thank you!"
It was an amazing place, tranquil, quiet, private, and convenient. It was exactly as advertised. The steps to the bedroom were also as advertised. They were, as they said, steep, but the owners did everything they could to ensure our safety, and the bed was so comfy with great views. The hot tub was a welcome sight after a long drive, and watching the sheep run through the sprinkler was both entertaining and very sweet. We hope to come back soon.
