Lovely home in Cortez
The house was in a perfect location. It was very clean, had a well-stocked kitchen, great shower and a comfortable bed. Our dog loved the fenced back yard. Communication with Rodney was excellent. When we are back in Cortez we will definitely try and rent this house for our stay. We had a lovely tiime in Cortez!!!!

Fabulous Place!
This is, by far, the best VRBO we've stayed at. Not only was the house spotless and tastefully decorated, the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of parking. Other huge perks were the fact that there wasn't a huge check out list of things to do (thank you!) and, unlike other places we've stayed, we were left with plenty of dishwasher and laundry detergent. That was a huge bonus! We can't recommend this place enough! The proximity to Mesa Verde National Park was also an added bonus!

Superb accommodations and location!
House was very well equipped with all essentials as well as very well appointed. Hosts were helpful with leaving lots of information about local shopping and areas of interest in the area including contact to ask if there were any questions or concerns. The attractions in the area are phenomenal so there’s no loss of things to do. We did not have a dog but dogs are welcome and a large fenced yard.

Even more than expected!
We were so pleased with the entire experience starting with the curb appeal, condition of yard & opening the door! The owner has thought of everything you may need on your stay & more. So immaculate & pleasantly comfortable - especially the bedding. Never slept better (incl @ home)!! Thank you😍

Best Vacation Rental!
We absolutely loved our stay. The house was extremely tidy and homey. It had the best backyard for our dogs that came along the way as well. We will most definitely be staying again next year for our yearly trip to Cortez!

Wonderful stay!
We loved our stay here! The house is less than a mile from downtown Cortez and only 12-15 minutes from Mesa Verde NP. The house is in a quiet walkable neighborhood with a private fenced in backyard, which was great for relaxing after a long day exploring & for our dogs! The house is clean, clutter free, and well stocked with everything from shower needs to kitchen essentials. We highly recommend Jamie & Rodney's place to anyone traveling in this area!

Charming Home Foiled by Traffic Noise
The house is cozy and charming, we were so excited. The hosts have gone out of their way anticipating any needs. All the reviews are spot on about the home and the hosts. The house is right on Empire street which is used as a main road across town. Traffic is nonstop during the day with semi trucks, loud trucks and speeding cars. It does slow down at night but it is very disruptive throughout the night. We are not a family of light sleepers, it was too much for us and we left exhausted.

Wonderful property
I spent 12 days at this property in August and it was a very pleasant experience from the time we booked to the time we checked out. The hosts are very responsive and very considerate. The house has been remodeled and everything is in top condition. We did use the AC as it was hot. The kitchen is well equipped, the laundry is stocked with cleaning supplies and the place was very clean. The yard is big and well tended, my pups loved running and chasing balls in the well secured grassy yard. The street is pretty busy but the noise was not a factor. You do have to be patient getting out of the carport but I didn’t have an issue waiting for a gap in traffic. Recommend if you have to spend time in this area.
