The Ranch House has a spacious master bedroom with a luxurious king bed dressed in premium linens, and flexible sleeping options in the front room: two pull-out single beds, a floor mattress stored in the closet, and an inflatable bed, accommodating up to five guests comfortably. There is a fully equipped kitchen with oils, spices, and cooking gear for effortless meal preparation. Guests enjoy exclusive use of a private 6-person hot tub beneath a certified International Dark Sky canopy, where you can see the whole galaxy at night. The Ranch House includes one full bathroom with shower (accessed through the master bedroom) and a generous walk-in closet for added practicality.
The Dome at Mesa Verde
02
A cherished dream brought to life, The Dome at Mesa Verde awaits at the end of a mile-long driveway. Here, profound privacy reigns—no neighbors in sight—amid breathtaking sunsets, untamed mountain vistas, and the enduring spirit of the Wild West.
Our Custom geodesic masterpiece features a lofted king bed under a star-gazing skylight in the upstairs portion of the Dome (ladder access), an ultra-plush queen memory foam pull-out high-end Joybird Sofa (read the reviews on how comfortable the pullout couch is), and a cozy single pull-out high-end Joybird sofa. It comfortably sleeps 5 people, with the option of adding a floor mattress to sleep 6.
You are truly in the Wild West at the Dome. Watch our American Quarter Horses graze against epic views, wander private hiking trails, and lose yourself in stargazing beneath a certified Dark Sky sanctuary. Unwind in a Finnish cedar wood-fired sauna, gather around a grand outdoor fire pit, or savor meals from the wood-fired grill.

OUR UNIQUE PROPERTY
Our unique property is a dream, here the beauty is real—the way the desert sun turns the juniper hills golden, how the sky opens up huge and empty above you, and especially the glowing sunsets that wash the mesas and distant La Plata Mountains in soft pinks, deep oranges, and fiery reds. Wild horses roam the open rangelands across the raw high-desert country, secluded, still, and full of that simple, honest beauty that makes everything feel slower. Visit us and experience the spirit of the Wild West!
