Twisted Cedars Ranch: Rest, Restore, Relax in mountain style.

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. TV, WiFi, movies, books and games are also available. The bedroom has a queen size bed and private bathroom. 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 **

Beautiful, quiet property. I appreciated the separation from the owners home and the privacy that this creates. Very close to Mesa Verde and many other local attractions. A wonderful place to stay.

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.

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.

Amazing Oasis Away from the City
The place was away from the city and the night sky was amazing to view from the window of the bedroom or stepping outside. The hospitality of the hosts was the best I have ever experienced. I highly recommend this property!

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.

Perfect Place!
This views from this property were amazing! The property felt like an actual guest house, some just do not. The place was well done, very clean and had everything we needed.

The location to the entrance of Mesa Verde NP couldn’t be closer and the home is a great place to stay. Wonderful views and if lucky enough to be there during a thunderstorm it’s Colorado at its finest. Heather does a wonderful job and makes you feel special and welcome. Definitely recommend
