Although it’s a rural home it was close to both Durango and Mesa Verde National Park, with several good food options in town and surrounding areas. Close enough for a day trip to Telluride and Monument Valley, Shiprock and Four Corners… had everything we needed and more…

Adorable cabin perfect for a couple! Wonderfully decorated with many added touches to make your stay special. This is located just a few miles from the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park and conveniently between Cortez and Macon. We spent a night just gazing at the stars in this quiet location.

The Bear Necessities Cabin had everything I wanted. Centrally located to mountain biking and hiking. Only 5 miles from Cortez for picking up food, etc. Relatively quiet, peaceful, and scenic. Amenities like a decently equipped kitchen, and a clothes washer and dryer for my extended stay made for a comfortable stay. I'm posting some snapshots from video I captured from flying my drone over the property. This should give you a good idea of the beauty of the area from the property at different times of day.The only real issue I had during my stay was that the Internet was out for the last three days due to problems with the ISP. This ISP appears to be a small municipal run service, as I can't imagine one of the major ISPs allowing service to be out this long short of a natural disaster. My cell phone service with Xfinity Mobile (Verizon's cellular network) was only 1 or 2 bars of 4G and 5G service, so limited data bandwidth not suitable for data heavy applications like streaming or downloading podcasts, etc. The TV at the property is streaming only, so if there is no Internet, there's no TV unless you have brought you own content.
