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.

Off the Beaten Path

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!

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.

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!
