- We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is spacious and comfortable. We had 10 people in our group and we definitely could have fit a few more comfortably. There are even some futons and pull out couches if you need to cram in a few more beyond that.
The hosts were very helpful when needed. The view is amazing. The yard was fun for the kids to play in. They loved the tire swing! We loved that each suite had its own sitting area and TV. I wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely try to get back for another stay someday.
Laurie4/18/2022Our stay was great! Very clean and comfy and so much space for the money. The shared kitchen area was well stocked and spacious enough to use alongside other guests. We really appreciate the last minute booking. 
Sage10/01/2023The Mountain View Lodge was a lovely property, and proved to be a choice location while traveling through Cortez. The Wranglers Roost was plenty comfortable for our overnight stay - bedding options, space, and value were a win. We greatly appreciated the service and offerings JanElle and Todd provide, and we'd look forward to an opportunity to stay again while in the area. 
Ryan3/15/2022Wow, 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’s place is clean and convenient with great access to Mesa Verde NP. Would definitely stay again! 
Mike8/17/2021Amazing place and amazing host. 
Jisha1/03/2021Fantastic stay. Did a scavenger hunt that was thoughtful and fun to do as a group. Would stay here again! 
Meredith9/21/2020Older place, clean, well kept. Great game room and toys for the kids. We did several things in Durango which was a bit of a drive (43 miles) but doable.
Had 14 of us and all comfortable. Thanks Janelle and Todd. 
David7/24/2023Todd and JanElle's place is great! Plenty of room for large families/groups. They are both very kind and helpful, and readily available if you should need anything. You will really enjoy their place and the beauty of Colorado! 
Polly7/29/2021Wranglers Roost, past the kitchen and living area and upstairs to Wranglers Roost. Got those place because it had seperate bedrooms for a friend and I. There's another tiny bed that's tucked away at the corner of the main living space. Bedrooms were very nice and comfortable. Bathroom was great and full of towels. One of the bedroom has a small living area with tv and mini fridge. The house sits on the outer skirts of town so drive into city is about 10 mins. 
Thai5/06/2021The 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 and her husband, were great! Very helpful and always willing to help. Their place was absolutely beautiful and perfect for my stay. It had everything I needed and close to town but perfectly hidden away from city lights and noise. 
Pedro12/05/2023So kind and hospitable!! 
Raven6/27/2020Calme, belle vue sur les montagnes, avec un espace de jeu et tout le reste correspondait à la description. 
Maël11/08/2022The kids enjoyed the game room. Good communication from the host. The house is spacious. Could use some updating but overall we enjoyed our stay. 
Ivan7/27/2022We had an wonderful trip. The house is very nice and spacious, lots of room to move around. The Owners are amazing and gave some great local food recommendations. We were taking a snowboarding trip in Colorado and the this house was an amazing place to relax at after coming back from the mountain. Cole1/03/2022Great home for large families or groups. Everything you need is provided, JanElle was quick to respond to our questions. The kids loved the activity room with all the toys and the view is amazing from the front porch. We spend many morning s and evening’s sitting outside. Our whole family enjoyed the trip. Manuela6/17/2021Fantastic location, fantastic setup, fantastic all round 
Rupert7/31/2022JanElle is an awesome host! Very accomodating. The property is beautiful. She even made fresh muffins in thr morning for us. Will stay again. Family loved the games and big yard and all of the wildlife. Plus the amazing views. Give it a look! 
Tye7/25/2022Wonderful place to relax and enjoy the mountain views! If you have a large gathering this is a great place to stay. Kathi9/25/2021 - The property is immaculate, spacious, well appointed and equipped. The location was bucolic, with views of the sleeping Ute. The host is extremely responsive and informative. I believe that this stay is perhaps the most exceptional of any I have had in an AirBnB.
James7/18/2022We stayed here to visit Mesa Verde and it was perfect! Super spacious, way close to the park, spotless, beautiful countryside views, and had everything we needed. Definitely would recommend! 
Parker9/04/2021JanElle communicated well, addresses all our questions, and was very respectful of our space when others needed to be on-site. 
Clint6/25/2021The hospitality here was among the best i've ever had. The hosts were great, and their breakfast was amazing. 
Aaron7/18/2020Hostess with the Mostess! JanElle was fantastic, providing great conversation, excellent breakfasts and a very clean space! Would absolutely stay again. 
Samantha3/24/2020Great place and great location! This was a good fit for our family and I highly recommend it. Be aware that you may get some extra noise from private tenants down below your sleeping area. We would definitely come back again! 
Brittany4/14/2022Definitely coming back again. Perfect location-based for daily excursions. 
Roseanne7/09/2021This 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! Elizabeth4/09/2022We were looking for a simple place to rest during the night and came across this most wonderful listing ! With an incredible view, very comfortable beds and a delicious breakfast waiting for us in the morning. Thank you very much for our stay, we only regret not staying longer 
Cami6/26/2020Lots of room, comfy and quiet. Not fancy but nice and clean. 
Elaine9/04/2020JanElle accommodation was beautiful. Location was very quiet and close to Mesa Verde park. We would recommend a stay there. 
Viviana9/08/2023Great location with a wonderful view of the mountains. Janelle was a great host and made an amazing breakfast for everyone in the morning! 
Ann9/24/2020This was the first time we have tried an air b n’ b with a shared space. The home was spacious, and the suite we stayed in was large enough to spread out. There was another family there that we shared the kitchen with. The space was plenty big enough to share. We appreciated that there were two kitchen tables, so we could all sit down and eat. The game room was great, my kids loved the ping pong. We would definitely stay again! 
Amy10/19/2023This is a lovely place with gorgeous views. It very clean and well organized. JanElle is a wonderful host and even made us a delicious omelette for breakfast and homemade muffins. Dominique5/14/2020We 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! Cathy9/17/2022Great setting and plenty of space. A little off the beaten path, but still close enough if you are going to Mesa Verde. It is worth it to have spacious rooms and activity options for the kids to run around and enjoy. They loved the tire swing and the game room. Clean & comfy. 
Jana3/25/2022Han and her husband were great hosts. The property was beautiful and the location was great! Our group of 14 were easily accommodated! 
Brandie7/18/2021What 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! 
Marvelle9/05/2022Convenient location, and great set up! We had some rousing games of ping pong and fooz ball! 
Debbie8/09/2021We stayed in the Wrangler's Roost which was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the hospitality. My kids loved the game room, huge yard, and playground set! We also loved the wonderful breakfast, it was homemade and amazing! I highly recommended Janelle's Airbnb! Cheryl6/25/2020
