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 **

We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodations fit our needs perfectly. We were in Colorado for a family reunion at Echo Basin so the location was close enough that it was easy to get to, but far enough away to escape from the chaos of my extended family. It made my morning to have coffee with the hummingbirds. We appreciate Heather and Chad sharing their property with us!

Mesa Verde

What a wonderful location- not far from Mesa Verde NP but still miles away from hustle and bustle. It is such a beautiful peaceful place. We loved seeing the mountains, the stars and the birds out the windows and on the porch. The cabin itself had everything we could need and was built and decorated with great attention to detail

Twisted Cedars Ranch is just a darling place. It is beautifully decorated, clean and cozy. Everything we needed was there. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area. The owners are friendly and they checked to see that we had everything that we needed.

Off the beaten path.

Nice 1 bedroom apartment with a wood stove. The wood stove really warmed up the space nicely with little effort. Owner left a pizza and some eggs in the fridge. Nice if you get in late and don’t have time for grocery shopping.

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!

Perfect place to stay to explore Mesa Verde area. Remote area so close to nature but with all the amenities needed! Very comfortable digs.

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!
