Cortez Cabin | Private Sage Canyon Cliff House with Stunning Views near Mesa Verde

1 Bedroom Cabin in Cortez

Stay on the flank of Sleeping Ute Mountain in historic McElmo Canyon just 40 minutes from Mesa Verde and 20 minutes from the town of Cortez. The Cliff House is built right into the red rock cliff wall of a private red rock canyon alcove with comfortable amenities, internet, and sweeping views down canyon. A perfect place to base yourself for your next creative endeavor or for exploring in the wilds of the four corners.
In addition to being built into sandstone rock, the Cliff House is landscaped with native species that bloom all summer. Around the corner from the house, in another rock alcove, is a little lawn. Enjoy comfortable porch seating with a stunning view.
We purposefully do not provide a TV and hope our space is a nature-inspired respite. That said, we also know you might want to get away and retreat to the Cliff House in order to do some work in-between exploring the Southwest. We have fast, broadband wireless internet with Eero WiFi. Stream music to our Apple HomePod with your iPhone or AirPlay-enabled device. We have a network extender for strong Verizon LTE service.
You will have access to our entire cabin home, carport, and a secluded yard inside a beautiful rock alcove on our property. The Ladder Alcove and lawn are a shared space with ourselves, our dog, and guests from our Workshop Loft, but in general it is a very private space.
Head just 10 minutes down canyon to Sand Canyon—public access to Canyons of the Ancients National Monument—for hiking and mountain biking trails. Further down Road G is Hovenweep National Monument where you can view Pueblo ruins precariously built on top of boulders and canyon rims. At the end of the day, stop by our neighbor Sutcliffe Vineyards for year-round local wine tasting.
Nearby - Telluride (2), Cedar Mesa and Monument Valley (1.5-2), the Four Corners Monument (45), Durango (1.25), Shiprock (45), Mesa Verde (40), Cortez (20), Hovenweep (45).

A few notes to make sure this is the right place for you:
The property is located down a single-lane, dirt road. It is safe for passenger cars, but drive slowly and watch for critters wild and domestic. Part of the road goes through open range and you sometimes have to patiently wait for cows or horses to move aside (particularly in the winter months).
We are located in a desert, rural area. Expect wildlife on the property (insects, geckos, foxes, deer, marmots, bobcats, mountain lions, and other fun critters). While the house is weather-tight, insects can and do get into the cabin. If the presence of insects might cause you undue concern or discomfort, this might not be the spot for you.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us before booking.

Laura and Grant, the stewards of this property, are writers, painters, designers and nature-enthusiasts. We are endlessly inspired by the beauty and the unique history of this place and want nothing more than to share it with like-minded creatives.
***Are your dates already booked?***
We know the availability of the Cliff House is quite limited right now. If you message us and let us know when you are looking to book we will do our best to get back to you pending a cancellation. However, we do not maintain an official waitlist—keep checking the calendar, it’s always up-to-date.
We also have another rental on our property. It is a brand new build—a loft space converted from an old barn workshop. Contact us for the link.

Summary: We had a very peaceful and beautiful stay in the canyon. The cabin is secluded and quiet - just what we wanted. We look forward to our next stay!
Phillip S. Jul 6, 2024 12:47:17 AM
Summary: The Cliff House is everything it advertises it is and much more! If you want to get back to nature both literally and figuratively then the Cliff House is what you need. This place will give you both the sense of nature and yearning for the wild. The Cliff House was built for you to get away from day to day life, but still offers the capability for you to connect if you need to. The Cliff House is also not too far away from local attractions like Mesa Verde and Four Corners, and modern conveniences like Walmart and common fast food restaurants. Pros: Great get away for couples, close to tourist sites and restaurants, close to stores in town, has hiking trails on property, really easy to get to, owners are quick to communicate, great view, and so much more! Would 100% stay here again and again. Cons: Sleeping situation is not for everyone. Loft bed with ship style ladder and a sleeper couch are available as well as room for a blowup mattress or cot below loft area. The loft area may not be ideal if you consider yourself not able to climb a ladder or have to go to the bathroom frequently at night.

Summary: The Cliff House was far better than the pictures. Everything about our stay was perfect. The property was beautiful, the kitchen was so well equipped, the bed was comfy, the LIGHT in this house will just blow you away... can't wait to come and stay again.
Steven G. Nov 30, 2021 04:40:09 AM
Summary: Very pleasant experience, made especially so by the cliff wall & wood burning stove. The first day was magical, discovering in particular the views & best vantage points. Sunrise with coffee. Sunset with wine & wood burning stove.
Larry & Shelle C. Jun 11, 2021 07:01:32 AM
Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cliff House. What a unique place. The drive in was fun and the canyon is beautiful. We experienced climbing up above the house and seeing it from the Mesa. And got some great pictures of the canyon and the tipi. We would definitely stay there again but wish we could share it with friends.

Summary: My husband and I were looking for a peaceful getaway and we found it! Beautiful location and an amazing little house built into the rock with lots of light. Very unique and well equipped. It made us feel so connected to the surrounding beauty. Pictures just don't do it justice!
Kathleen M. Jan 25, 2021 11:26:20 AM
Summary: We needed a weekend getaway and that is what we got - We LOVED staying here! The place is small, but the views are gigantic! Wow did we love hanging out in the morning with a mug of coffee, fire in the wood stove, and a gorgeous sunrise! Highly recommend and the hosts were very responsive to our questions. We look forward to coming back!
