- What a great place! There were 15 of us and we weren’t a bit crowded. It was so spacious! It was also very well stocked and had everything we needed. Our family really enjoyed the corn hole, tire swing, and ping pong. We especially loved all the deer. Beds were comfy and towels were plentiful. I would highly recommend JanElle’s place!
Marvelle9/05/2022A fantastic setting for a quiet stay in the mountains. So many configurations within the house made it very easy for our extended family to feel comfortable and have their own privacy. We will definitely be staying here again and again and again 
Kevin11/27/2021Excellent host, excellent breakfast, and excellent location. Just 15 minutes from the entrance to Mesa Verde. I highly recommend JanElle’s place. 
Ricardo3/26/2020We rented the entire place for a gathering of family and friends to celebrate a 90th birthday, hosting about 25 people. The place was perfect for the occasion. Lots of room and well equipped. The view is spectacular. The suites are large , clean and very comfortable. We stayed for 4 days and the location is great, it's a short drive to Cortez or Dolores or Mesa Verde NP. Lots of things to do. This place is an exceptional value. 
William1/18/2022The Mountain Lodge was perfect for our family of 10. The accommodations and sleeping arrangements were outstanding. But most of all, we appreciate how welcoming JanElle was towards us and going above and beyond to help us with everything we needed. 100% recommend! 
Kathy11/27/2020JanElle is an excellent and kind host. We felt as we were at home. Her place is an AMAZING and AWESOME place to stay. 
Angie Lucia7/19/2021JanElle's place feels so cozy! The rustic Americana vibe just makes you melt when you've been traveling all day. We had to make a last-minute reservation, but JanElle was super accomodating! 
Shane4/20/2020We really enjoyed our stay at this great location! We enjoyed watching deer from the front and back windows, being away from the city, access to the large private and shared spaces. Great location for a great price! 
Marlow10/22/2023The Lodge is really nice, It is a Beautiful House in a Wonderful Land!!! 
Betty9/13/2022Jannelle is the perfect hostess! great communication, clean, well decorated rooms, even delicious breakfast! would definitely stay again! 
Mark5/21/2021Wow, what a wonderful stay! JanElle should have a super host status, they went far and beyond what was written on the website-- cooked gourmet breakfast with extra portions for my hungry boys, brought printer from her house so we can print some paperwork and even made me a batch of her signature apricot jam to take home with me. The house was so spacious, hosts don't leave there, but there were other rooms for occupants with shared kitchen and playroom. We didn't feel crowded at all, hosts even separated us for breakfast because of Covid 19 scare. My boys LOVED the space-- there were so many toys there in a separate playroom, we didn't see them because they were so busy playing. Overall, the best stay ever, we will recommend it to all our friends and would love to come back! 
Veronika7/24/2020JaNelle was amazing and so is her property. Had a wonderful stay!!

Jordan1/18/2021This place was perfect! Super spacious area. Felt like home. Hosts are wonderful and this will be our first choice to stay next time we’re in the area. 
Malia3/19/2021We loved absolutely everything about this house; location, space, decor and hospitality of the host. The only thing that we regretted was not being able to stay longer. 
Ewa8/03/2022JanElle communicated well, addresses all our questions, and was very respectful of our space when others needed to be on-site. 
Clint6/25/2021Fantastic location, fantastic setup, fantastic all round 
Rupert7/31/2022This was the perfect stop for our group of 3 families- including 7 kids! Our kids only wanted to hang out at the house instead of doing all the amazing things offered around Mesa Verde. The large gorgeous front yard was perfect for soccer, football, or anything else our kids could conjure up. The game room was also a huge hit. Clearly, the hosts have kept families and kids in mind when staying here, and we appreciated it! 
Elizabeth4/09/2022The place is everything you need. Very well centralized to go places. Very well maintained. The owners are very accommodating to your needs. Perfect for larger groups or multi family vacations. Very comfortable and relaxing. Hope to visit again in the future! 
Ken11/19/2021 - Fantastic stay. Did a scavenger hunt that was thoughtful and fun to do as a group. Would stay here again! Meredith9/21/2020Convenient location, and great set up! We had some rousing games of ping pong and fooz ball!
Debbie8/09/2021Talk about some amazing hospitality! This was such a cute setup on a little farm with an awesome views! Jana makes the most delicious homemade muffins and it was so nice to wake up to a homemade breakfast. We felt so cozy here. My son also forgot his stuffed animal there and Jana was kind enough to offer mailing it to us. We will definitely be back next time we are in town! 
Paige7/16/2020A great location with an awesome view! I stayed just for the weekend to visit Mesa Verde and it was the perfect spot. They have good recommendations for things to do and places to eat! 
Meg4/25/2021We enjoyed the Wrangler's Roost! Very comfortable beds, very roomy private and shared areas, clean and well stocked, very clear instructions. So many delightful ways to spend time at Mountain View Lodge and in the Cortez/Durango area. We would definitely recommend this spot! Cathy9/17/2022awesome 
Roshan9/23/2023Our stay was very quiet and relaxing. We loved using the game room, and the kitchen was stocked with some useful necessities. The house has a beautiful view, and the bed was very comfortable. Ruth9/06/2021Calme, belle vue sur les montagnes, avec un espace de jeu et tout le reste correspondait à la description. 
Maël11/08/2022A cozy stay on our way through the area. Great location to town. 
Jackie5/21/2022Great, spacious lodge for large families. Loved having the game room as part of the house, and the feel of the place if very warm and welcoming with thoughtful decorations.

Luc7/17/2020This spot is BEAUTIFUL, peaceful & surrounded with the best views.
We booked pretty last minute in July 🥵 so the bedrooms were pretty hot upon arrival but the hosts were extremely accommodating and helped us utilize other spaces/fans while the rooms cooled down.
Very friendly, responsive and helpful hosts!
