Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Cortez

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Franny's house and are so grateful to have stayed here during our visit in Cortez. The home was one of the cleanest AirBNBs we've stayed at, was so thoughtfully decorated and organized and had everything we needed in the kitchen, including lots of coffee. So many personal touches throughout. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the shower was so relaxing. The backyard is huge with lots of space for kiddos to run around, and there are so many outdoor toys in the garage. The covered patio with chairs and picnic table was just perfect. Wonderful home, zero complaints, would absolutely stay here again if in Cortez. Franny's home is definitely one of our most favorite rentals we've stayed at! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

3 reasons we chose this place: 1. The indoor decor Even more beautiful than the photos. Jessica has a great sense of style—every room feels intentional and calming. The beds were truly comfortable. The home is spacious, uncluttered, and easy to settle into. 2. The outdoor amenities and view The drive to the house offers breathtaking 360° views—mountains, farmland, big sky. The house itself sits among evergreens, private, quiet and mostly secluded. 3. The location Ideal base for exploring. We visited Mesa Verde, Telluride, and Arches in Utah. Well-situated for day trips. The setting is magic. The moment you pull in, it feels like a small sanctuary—birds calling, breeze in the trees, a giant rabbit hopping by. I’m pretty sure I heard a turkey. Distant chickens and a rooster add to the atmosphere. Cool mornings and evenings were both quiet and grounding, with space to breathe, rest, and reset after full days of exploring and long days out. This was the kind of place you want to return to

Esther and Kory were wonderful hosts. We had a comfortable stay. The beds were to our satisfaction. We loved the accommodations and patio. Sadly, we didn’t realize there was a sauna until last minute lol. Thank you for your hospitality. 10/10 recommend.

Thanks for a great place to stay, again, for us and our pups!!! The weather was perfect this past weekend, and our pups totally loved the yard, as usual. Loved everything in the house!!! Always warm and welcoming and always have everything we need!! We had a few struggles with the TV Spectrum remote, but finally managed just fine. Thanks again!!!!

Our teenage boys loved the house. They had fun playing with the soft target. Mom was impressed with the cleanliness. A fun, cute place put away from everything. But close to some cool ruins that we were easy to get to. We loved the binder with all the fun ideas for things to do. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook . Thank you.

Fun, unique stay in a yurt! Enjoyed the outdoor space for evening stargazing. Had everything we needed for a quick stay while visiting Mesa Verde NP. Remote location but this is exactly what we expected based on the listing. Easy drive to Durango for more restaurant and shopping options.

Great stay near Mesa Verde. Wal mart is nearby. The fresh eggs were a Nice touch and beds were comfy. Would recommend.

We've stayed here several times and it's always great! This home is just secluded enough to let you know that you're out of town---but only a few minutes to go in for dinner or whatever. You won't go wrong staying here. Great hosts!!

It was such a lovely place. Was in impression it would be very small but was perfect size. Endless views. Sitting out and letting our toddler play is the best memory from this place.

My spouse and I have stayed at 25 to 30 Airbnb's in the past six years or so. Michelle's Airbnb is the best Airbnb that we have ever stayed at. Michelle is very friendly and provided us with very useful information about visiting Canyons of the Ancients national monument. Her property is complete with a medicine wheel, labyrinth, and small pond with koi fish. Michelle was a fabulous host. she was very warm, friendly and welcoming, explaining in detail how to get to her favorite trail, Sand Canyons inside the Canyo s of the Ancient. As she happened to be baking that day. she offered us a lovely loaf of bread with home made jam. What a treat. We had a lovely visit with her on our 2 night there a d loved her exquisite garden, the Bear den that was ever so comfortable and lived visiting her spiritual, relaxing home and gardens! Highly recommend her wonderful spot for 2 a d she also has cottages on the property for more people. Hope to return for sure!

We absolutely loved our stay at the bunker! We stayed for about a month and it was perfect. The view is stunning and location is so peaceful. Susan’s place is right outside the Sand Canyon park, with a trail leaving the property to meet up with park trailheads within minutes. My husband works remotely and had adequate internet with Starlink. We enjoyed hiking in the afternoons. Grocery stores in Cortez are about 15 minutes away. There is a full kitchen in the bunker, although not pictured. On the weekends we were just about an hour to Durango to enjoy more outdoors and hot springs. We would absolutely stay again! Susan was a great host, very friendly and helpful if you’re needing local recommendations. Thank you again!

Beautiful working sheep and cattle ranch. Views are spectacular. The inside as fantastic with antiques, two beds, nice carpeting and ranch feel. Dogs and horse are so friendly and hosts were so gracious. Close to Crow Canyon Archaeological Center and Mountain Ute Casino . Cortez has great restaurants and friendly atmosphere with Farmers Market and interesting stores. Makes for a wonderful trip in beautiful Southwest Colorado.

We had an awesome stay! Loved being by the bike trails and paddle boarding at the lake. The tranquility of the area was devine. The house is perfect -well insulated from sound, great deck outside, had very well stocked kitchen we cooked all our meals at the house. Pablo was always super quick to respond and shared recommendations. The house is very clean, open yet had everything you need. Definitely recommend staying!!
