"Fun, clean rooms. My family has stayed here a couple of times. Location is wonderful, rooms are clean and spacious. We also love the giant chess game. Will stay again if in the area"

Quality Inn near Mesa Verde

"Was easy to walk to restaurants. Breakfast was decent. Room was a good size."

Turquoise Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very good for the price. The bed was comfortable. The room was spacious and clean. The staff was responsive to inquiries. But the breakfast yogurt machine was out of yogurt, and the hot tub was closed."

Cortez RV Resort

8/10 Good

"It was such a great place to stay! We will be returning! I wish the showers were separate from the bathroom but other than that it was great and so dang cute 😍"

Ravensnest-Bears Den Studio Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my stay from start to finish!What a delightful, friendly and attentive host. She loves the land, the culture, history and spirit of the Cortez-Mesa Verde area. The property grounds are spiritual, warm and whimsical. Such a unique environment and I loved all of it. I stayed in the studio apartment below the main residence. It’s clean and spacious! Perfect for a single, couple, or small family. Parking was available right in the lower driveway, directly in front of the apartment. An a/c was available, but I didn’t need it in September as a ceiling fan did just fine. If you thrive on natural light, you might consider other onsite units as the Bears Den relies mostly on electrical lighting. It’s a long room and the two windows near the front are pretty small, one housing the a/c. I enjoyed my stay and loved chatting with the precious host! Highly recommended! Thank you!"

Modern Cortez Mountain Retreat w/ Yard & View

Sleeping Ute Mountain Motel

"The newer owners have been working on the property. The owner/ manager went out of her way to accommodate us, offering our choice between two rooms to better suit our needs. The rooms were clean and comfortable. If your looking for fancy, this may not be the place, but for a comfy, quiet stay, come on in."
