There is plenty of parking available out front with a circle drive. The key is available by coded lock box that is on the wall to the right of the Guest entrance.

Other things to note
Enjoy the close proximity to Mesa Verde National Park and the star gazing in a certified "Dark Sky Park" area. On a clear night gaze at the Milky Way.

We have menus from the local restaurants in the room, along with maps and information on local wineries, National Parks, Snow Skiing and more. And again if you have any questions, Please Ask.

We also recommend following our FB page at "Crooked Sky Ranch and Airbnb" and “Insta” page for many many photos.

Also, don't forget to look through Lisa's guidebook for lots of sights, restaurants and things to do in this beautiful region!

We also allow EV charging overnight by way of Level 1 charging as a convenience for those choosing to travel by EV. We charge $8 per night as a convenience, not a profit center. (Based on an average of 60KWh at $.1377 per KWh equals $8.26) You can pay by way of an app at @Lisa-Akers-2 or cash upon arrival.

We also have four public charging stations in town within 10 miles of our home.

We do allow dogs and there is a $75 pet fee. Please book “with pet”. No more than two dogs and prefer under 30 lbs. Please do not allow the dog(s) in/on the bed as it is hard to get the hair out of the quilt/comforter/blanket. We do not allow cats because of allergies.

Neighborhood highlights

We are not a neighborhood per se, as we are forty peaceful and tranquil acres with over 50,000 acres to our south and 2000 acres to our east and only the sight of a home to the west 1/4 of a mile away. We have the luxury of 360° views along with peace and quiet, with the exception of the occasional horse nicker or sheep baa. All this and we are still less than 7 miles from downtown Cortez.
