Mountain View Lodge's Wranglers' Roost is a western themed suite that makes a great home base for all your SW Colorado adventures. We are close to national parks, hiking, skiing, biking, waterfalls, and lakes. We think you will enjoy the views and the wildlife if you stay with us. So check our calendar for available dates. We look forward to hosting you. The Wranglers' Roost has space for 5 guests. There are two private rooms. One room with a king bed, one room with a queen bed, a single bed in a semi private space, and a futon bed in the suite sitting area. There is also a laptop friendly work space and wifi. Guests can enjoy ping pong, foosball, and board games in our game room. You can also use the large yard for corn hole or ladder ball which are available in the game room. Or just relax with a cup of coffee on the porch taking in the beautiful sunsets. At night you may want to enjoy s'mores around the fire ring or gaze at the millions of stars. In addition to your private two bedroom full bath upstairs suite, you will have access to the downstairs common areas such as living room, dining room, game room, and porch. We live in a separate house on the property about a 1/4 of a mile from the lodge, so we are close if you need assistance. Just reach out if you have questions. Enjoy your stay! You may see our neighbors out and about on your visit. I am referring to the abundant wildlife in the area. We have a lot of mule deer here. Occasionally we also see elk, foxes, rabbits (cotton tails and jack rabbits), squirrels, lizards, and many birds including eagles and hawks. We hear coyotes and get sporadic reports of bears and mountain lions in the area. If you are coming to visit Mesa Verde National Park it is only 15 minutes to the entrance and visitor center. The main sites are 45-60 minutes further into the park on winding roads. There are only a few place with food and no gas in the park, so plan ahead and be sure to get water, food, and gas before you head into the park. If you want to do any tours you will need to get tickets. They can be purchased online but need to be picked up in person at the visitor center. After your visit to the park you may want to visit some of the local restaurants in Cortez. You may like Tai Cortez, the Farm Bistro, or La Casita. We hope that you will make many memories during your time in SW Colorado. As your arrival date approaches, we will send you check in details.
