Excellent remote property
We had a fabulous stay. The property is beautiful in a lovely remote area. Owners do an excellent job of making sure the house is stocked with necessities to make a comfortable stay. Yes, it is a rough dirt road as everyone says but as long as you take it slowly, easily traversed. Proximity to Mesa Verde and Canyon of the Ancients and Yellow Car Country Wines is exemplary. We even had a light snow the morning we were leaving and got to see a beautiful winter wonderland. Would definitely stay again if I were in the area and highly recommend!

Mesa Shred has the view!
The perfect place to stay if you’re going to Mesa Verde National Park! This was our third visit in 4 years at Mesa Shred. We love the views and peaceful sitting. Well stocked, very comfortable and clean property. Love the farm fresh eggs!

Secluded Gem in the country
Don't let the rugged exterior fool you, THIS PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL!! We loved our stay at Mesa Shred. The inside is clean and decorated so cute. We had everything we needed to cook. And i can say being the 3rd person to shower each day there was always plenty of hot water to go around. We loved sitting on the patio and watching the eclipse (highlight of our trip) it's in a perfect location for visiting Mesa Verda and Durango and Cortez is just a couple miles away for quick runs into town. It's so peaceful and quiet, no cars driving by or street lights or noisy neighbors. We'd go outside at night and look at the stars and milky way, listen to crickets bask in the beautiful scenery all around and just be in the moment. We'd gladly stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful trip.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I moved to Cortez in 2015 after visiting some friends and falling in love with the area. We really enjoy living right next to Phil's World and that we can be at the lake or the in mountains in 30 minutes. We hope you enjoy the area as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The property and house are very private. You feel secluded even though you're only 10 minutes from town. You can bike and hike Phil's World right from the house.
