This is a beautiful property, very well equipped and furnished. Space is generous, including several outdoor spaces, covered or open. The hosts are super nice and responsive. The place is perfect to access all the rich cultural and natural wonders of the Southeast corner of Colorado. Shopping and dining in Cortez is 10-15 min away. We are a family of four (teenage daughters) and spent a few days there. We would definitely come back if we come to the area again.

The Carlson House is a fabulous place to stay! We loved our three nights there and we should have stayed longer! Lou Anne was wonderfully welcoming and very communicative. We enjoyed the hot tub immensely and took full advantage! Mesa Verde has been on my Bucket List for some time, so if you are going to Mesa Verde you must stay at the Carlson House! We loved the welcoming deer on our first night, and the resident cat "Flash" is so loving! We nicknamed him Morris! Everything is magical here!! One of the BEST rental experiences that we have encountered!! If I could give it more than a 5 I would! Thank you Lou Anne!!

Nice Country Home
This was a great centrally located home that was close enough to Cortez and easy access to Mesa Verde, Telluride and Canyon of the Ancients. Very peaceful setting and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and not only meeting Ken and Lou Anne, but Millie, Jazz and Flash!

Beautiful home
This house is amazing. Didn’t spend a lot of time at the house as we were out everyday seeing the area. After riding our motorcycles all day, this was such a nice place to come back to and relax. The last day we stayed at the house and enjoyed using the BBQ grill. The house was so clean and Ken and Lou Anne are the best! This is the perfect house for 2 couples. The plush bathrobes for each guest was an added bonus! Will recommend this house to all my friends and family for sure!!!

Wonderful Stay
The pictures don't do it justice. The location and view and serenity of the property are amazing! The space was really clean and everything seemed new. The kitchen was well stocked. We came to Cortez to mountain bike at Phil's World (and Boggy Draw), which was great and in close proximity. We enjoyed the Saturday farmer's market in Cortez, and an outdoor concert in nearby Dolores. The hosts were wonderful, welcoming, and accommodated all of our needs. Great stay!!

Awesome place to stay
Carlson’s went out of their way to make our stay fabulous. They had fresh made brownies, fresh cut flowers and a personal message on the counter as well as all the supplies needed to be comfortable. Mr Carlson stopped by right away to welcome us and give us instructions on the swamp cooler and hot tub. The property was beautiful and very clean. It was near town but out far enough out to be quiet and able to enjoy some of the area wildlife. We would definitely recommend this home.

Piece of Heaven in farm country
A stunning place to stay on a beautiful piece of property in an open farming area. From the upper deck you can see for miles and see mountains all around - great for sunsets and star gazing. Home is impeccable with everything you need. Owners are on site but definitely not in your space but always available for questions or information on the area. Close to museums and Mesa Verde and Durango and Telluride. Absolutely 5 star all the way!
