- Fantastic stay. Did a scavenger hunt that was thoughtful and fun to do as a group. Would stay here again!
Meredith9/21/2020JanElle accommodation was beautiful. Location was very quiet and close to Mesa Verde park. We would recommend a stay there. 
Viviana9/08/2023We 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. 
Laurie4/18/2022Lots of room, comfy and quiet. Not fancy but nice and clean. 
Elaine9/04/2020The 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. 
James7/18/2022Excellent place to stay 
Kevin12/23/2022We 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! Cheryl6/25/2020This 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! Elizabeth4/09/2022Great location with a wonderful view of the mountains. Janelle was a great host and made an amazing breakfast for everyone in the morning! 
Ann9/24/2020Great, 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. The host is absolutely fantastic, helping with any issues in the lodge and also giving great tips for local activities. 
Peter1/01/2021What a comfortable, cozy place so close to town! 
Leah3/14/2022We 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! Cathy9/17/2022Nice place in the country. Lots of wildlife! Robert8/05/2022I was running late and my travel plans weren't working out and JanElle was very understanding and accommodating. 
Irene3/29/2021STOP. If you’re thinking of booking elsewhere, stop. This is the place to stay.
I booked at the last minute, but JanElle and her family were so welcoming and accommodating. The place is close to Mesa Verde NP, but you could come here just for a vacation.
Located on a large property (farm?) there are sweet touches like bottled water and snacks in each suite, a game room and kitchen. In the common area and even a tire swing outside for the kids. We saw deer across the street last night and a million stars.
The hosts were also incredibly helpful in recommending local restaurants and breakfast was amazing.
We stumbled on this listing out of necessity, and will be back by choice. You won’t be disappointed. 
Christina7/28/2020We had a fantastic stay! We were comfortably able to accommodate our group staying at the home and our family that visited during the day that lives locally. The home is very spacious and a perfect location for large families or multiple families traveling together. We cooked our full Thanksgiving meal and had plenty of cooking utensils to use in the kitchen. The game room and tire swing were hits with the kids. Very friendly and responsive hosts, would definitely recommend! 
Briana11/24/2023This 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! 
Ben7/04/2023Todd 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! 
Polly7/29/2021We 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. 
William1/18/2022Calme, belle vue sur les montagnes, avec un espace de jeu et tout le reste correspondait à la description. 
Maël11/08/2022 - A cozy stay on our way through the area. Great location to town.
Jackie5/21/2022The hosts are very kind and friendly, making you feel at home during the stay. The common area downstairs is a nice touch as it gives the opportunity to interact with other guests while you make coffee (should you so choose). The view is incredible with a patio to sit on while you look over the valley. 
Kelsey9/26/2020Wonderful hosts! Wonderful breakfast each morning! JanElle sure does know how to cook! Our rooms were clean and perfect for our stay! 
Mandie7/04/2020JanElle 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! 
Tye7/25/2022This is a lovely lodge with a great location. 
Peter3/20/2022Their homemade breakfast was over the top. It was in the middle of many national parks and easy to get to. Todd and JanElle were very pleasant and made the place feel comfy. 
Curtis6/28/2020We 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. Cole1/03/2022Excellent host, excellent breakfast, and excellent location. Just 15 minutes from the entrance to Mesa Verde. I highly recommend JanElle’s place. 
Ricardo3/26/2020**Look no further.** This place is awesome. The breakfast JanElle cooked was amazing. We had a wonderful time. Game room was perfect for the kids. Convenient to town, yet out of town. WE WILL BE BACK!! 
Erin11/09/2020The unit was the perfect size and layout for our family of five. The location is mere minutes from the entrance to Canyon of the Ancients National Monument and a very short drive to Mesa Verda National Park. It is near enough to town to provide easy access to stores and restaurants while still being just enough "off the beaten path" to be peacefully quiet and provide many opportunities to enjoy the passing deer. The common-area kitchen was clean and well equipped for all our cooking needs. My daughter loved the tire swing out front while my son played the piano in the spacious common-area living/dining room. The host communicated well and made check-in and check-out super easy. We definitely plan to stay here again in the near future! Luke10/06/2021A 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! 
Meg4/25/2021My friends and I had a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in visiting Mesa Verde or southern Colorado in general. 
Sultan8/19/2021What 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! 
Marvelle9/05/2022Such a fun unique stay! Great value, especially for families. Our private “suite” was very roomy— 2 private bedrooms plus another semi private space with a single bed, plus a large entry hall and living room! It felt like an entire 2 bedroom apartment. Breakfast was amazing and really contributes to the warm hospitality. We enjoyed our conversations with the hosts and learned a lot about the area. The views are beautiful. We played some ping pong and a board game. It was nice to see a true family business with the kids pitching in too. A great Airbnb experience. Highly recommended! 
Allison6/29/2020The kids enjoyed the game room. Good communication from the host. The house is spacious. Could use some updating but overall we enjoyed our stay. 
Ivan7/27/2022A 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 
Kevin11/27/2021Our 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. 
Sage10/01/2023awesome 
Roshan9/23/2023Wonderful airbnb with a nice view on the mountains. It’s really cute, we played piano and had talk in front of the fire. 
Fabien3/23/2020Wir waren eine Nacht bei JanElle und haben es sehr genossen. Von dem Grundstück schaut man auf weite Felder und hat die Hügel im Hintergrund. Wir haben den Abend auf der Veranda verbracht und die Aussicht genossen. Für Selbstversorger gibt es ein Walmart ganz in der Nähe. In dem Haus gibt es eine gut ausgestattete Küche und Fernseher sowie einen Spielraum.
Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!
