This was a beautiful spot and the perfect location for visiting Mesa Verde NP. The views are spectacular and the property is stunning, including a lovely garden, greenhouse and lots of hummingbirds. The guesthouse is so comfortable and has everything needed. The night sky was incredible, never seen so many stars. Wish we could move in permanently. Thanks Heather and Chad!

My husband and I have traveled for the last three years all over the country and internationally. This cabin was by far one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Everything was immaculate. Our host and hostess forgot absolutely nothing when putting this rental together. The clear directions that they left were immensely helpful. It was quiet. The view of the mountain was perfect. I can’t say enough wonderful things about twisted cedar Ranch.

Cozy, well equipped cottage with great location. Comfortable furnishings. Stunning views of the La Platas from the dining table. Beautiful property. We enjoyed the garden area and the stars on clear nights. Close to Mesa Verde, Durango, and hiking. Very good restaurants nearby. Really enjoyed our stay.
