This wonderful property is the perfect spot to explore southwestern Colorado or just get away from it all. The home is immaculate, beautifully landscaped and perfect for a couple. The living areas and bedroom are bright, well-furnished, and comfortable. The location is magnificent with views of snow-capped mountains on one side and Mesa Verde on the other. If you decide to prepare meals, there is a well-equipped kitchen and an inviting area for dining. The hosts have thoughtfully placed bird feeders outside the dining area window providing endless entertainment for individuals who enjoy watching visitors to the feeders. The outside deck is a great place to relax, but we did need to use insect repellent because of gnats. Tom and Nancy, the hosts, were so gracious, providing us with welcome gifts and orienting us to the property.
There was a bit of confusion upon arrival because we had not responded to an email sent by the hosts the day before check-in. We did not know we would be receiving such an email or that it would contain vital information about accessing the property. As things turned out, the day before check-in we were in a "dark" part of Colorado and were unable to access our email. We found cell service in northern New Mexico and southwestern Colorado was "spotty" at times (but not at Enchanted Retreat). Our check-in flub, however, was a minor issue and did not mar our enjoyment of this unique property.
