This well-equipped, historic Farmhouse is located in downtown Mancos—a thriving arts community with a “wild west” vibe. Work comfortably from home, walk to restaurants, grab a cider, beer or a coffee just minutes from the front door. The house sits 10 minutes from the Mesa Verde National Park gate, 15 minutes from the mountain biking mecca, Phil’s World, or 30 minutes from downtown Durango. Nearby Cortez has additional amenities and access to the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. Oak Street Farmhouse is a historic, 130+ year-old house (built in 1888!) with a ton of character. It has been renovated with modern conveniences, a fun and vibrant aesthetic, and a more open layout. The house has an open floor plan with a full kitchen, dining, and living room that flow into one another. The home office sits downstairs with a bath/shower directly across the hall. Upstairs is the master bedroom, attached master bath, and tv/lounge area. Enjoy a meal or a conversation outdoors under the comfortable, covered back patio right off the kitchen that adjoins the large backyard. A full laundry room is available for what may be a much needed, mid-adventure clean-up. This is not your typical Airbnb setup. We often think about the amenities we would love to have when we're travelling - spices, oils for meals, complete cook sets, a bbq, music and entertainment (including books!) are all things we want to pass on to our guests. We have a HomePod Mini speaker downstairs for great music, use your streaming apps on each TV, and enjoy fast, reliable wifi throughout the house and outside patio thanks to Eero. And don’t worry about keys during your stay, the front door will be pre-programmed with your own unique entry code. At 7,000 feet in elevation, Mancos enjoys cool evenings in the summer, but we don’t typically get enough snow during the winter to worry about getting stranded. ***Looking for something more remote?*** Visit our Airbnb profile to check out our other rental: the Cliff House at Sage Canyon. It is built-into and surrounded by a beautiful red rock canyon just southwest of Cortez, Colorado. The house has 2 off-street parking spaces and there is usually plenty of street parking. With our keypad lock you will not have to worry about keys! We are in downtown Mancos—in the historic district—and most Mancos restaurants, galleries, shops, and coffee spots are a short walk away (5-10 minutes). We live locally, so are around if there is a need or an emergency, but we prefer to give guests space to enjoy their time. We are very available by text or message and happy to be in conversation if needed. Set at the foot of the San Juans, Mancos is a thriving arts community with a “wild west” vibe. Walk to restaurants like Absolute Bakery or Olio. Grab a cider at Fenceline, coffee and a pastry from Fahrenheit Coffee Roasters, or a beer from the newly-renovated Columbine Bar & Grill. Zuma Natural Foods offers groceries and take-away sandwiches. Also within easy walking distance are several art galleries, the opera house, and the historic Mancos Free Press. In the area, you are under 10 minutes from the Mesa Verde National Park gate, 15 minutes from the main trailhead for mountain biking mecca, Phil’s World, 20 minutes to Dolores, Colorado, or 30 minutes to downtown Durango (a gorgeous drive through the San Juan National Forest). Nearby Cortez (20 min) has additional restaurants, grocery stores, and access to the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. There is parking on-site for up to 2 cars at dedicated off-street parking area on the side of the house. You may also choose to park in the street at the front of the house. While recently-renovated, please note that this is an older home: the height of the downstairs ceilings are standard, but the height of some of the ceilings in the upstairs master bedroom are lower. Anyone over 6 feet tall will have to duck in a few places upstairs to avoid hitting their head as they move about. **We are currently only offering stays of 30 days or longer.**
