Second visit as enchanting as the first
This was our second visit to Enchanted Retreat and it was like coming back to enjoy an old friend. We love it here. We purposely set our intentions on finding peace, solitude and relaxation. Nancy and Tom created a space, a retreat where all this is possible with the luxury of a fine built custom home on BEAUTIFUL acreage! It is truly a magical place. One must experience it to understand. Warmth, love and kindness is ever present.

We keep returning to this beautiful home situated in the most incredible spot. The views are second to none, and the house is an architectural masterpiece that is absolutely immaculate. Nancy, the host, is a generous, kind person, and has stocked every drawer, closet, and cabinet with everything anyone would use to cook well and be comfortable.

Can't say enough good things about Enchanted Retreat
Breath-taking! The home, the furnishings, the acreage, the owners, all combined created such a magical place. Everywhere we turned we were amazed at how well the home was constructed, maintained and designed, inside and out. The meadows were especially fun to navigate. We just don't have the perfect words to describe our PERFECT vacation. Mancos artists are fabulous too. Thank you so much for our stay in the Enchanted Retreat. We will be back!

Wonderful place to stay!
We wanted to get away for a quiet week and it was exactly what was needed. A beautiful, comfortable, well-kept home on a very large piece of land far away from the noise and commotion of every day life. Wonderful scenery from every side; trails to hike, and stars to watch ... wildlife, it has it all. Mostly blessed peace! Thank you!

We stayed at Enchanted Retreat for 5 nights and loved it! My favorite part was sitting on the deck, admiring the views and watching birds come to the feeder. The property had everything we needed. I would happily stay there again!

Incomparable Enchanted Retreat
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.

We really enjoyed our stay, it was one of the highlights of our trip! The house was clean and comfortable, and we loved having dinner on the deck overlooking the meadow and mountains, watching the sunset (Zuma Foods has great prepared food to go). It was also a great location for going to Mesa Verde and Telluride.

Spacious Splendor
Beautiful, well-crafted home amidst mountain vistas. I watched daily sunrises and sunsets from the deck of this home. Starry skies with falling stars and a glimpse of the Milky Way at night. This was one of the most luxurious homes I've stayed. Wildlife spotted from the house includes a doe with twin fawns, turkeys, a fox and an osprey. I can't wait to come back. Thank you, Tom and Nancy, for being so gracious as hosts and sharing something so special.

Hot and Lots of Bugs
House was pretty clean and spacious, but this place is like an oven. The high temps were around 80 degrees while we were there, but the house got so hot during the day and took all night to cool down to a comfortable level. It was difficult to enjoy the outside areas and views because there were so many bugs. Nancy was furious because we broke a house rule, and allowed my adult daughter and niece (who currently live in Mancos) to spend the night since we were so late getting in on our first night. I was apologetic and explained that we had multiple reservations for this trip, and must have mixed up or overlooked her rule. I have never encountered a ruder person in all my life! We got a good laugh out of it and moved on to better places when our stay there was over. Also, the listing clearly says $10 per night for "additional guest fee", but I was charged $40, $20 per person.

Beautiful, serene home
Enchanted retreat was a wonderful place for our anniversary get-away. The home is designed with large windows and scenic views of the mountains, is impeccably clean, and has almost anything that a guest could need. Nancy and Tom were great hosts that accommodated us with a late night check-in after our numerous flight delays, and promptly addressed a mechanical issue. Overall we loved our stay and hope to be able to visit again.

It was Enchanted!
Our stay at the Enchanted Cottage was awesome. We spent a week + there and had a great time. The house was very nice and everything one could need (pots,pans, cleaning supplies etc) was provided. No neighbors and totally private. Peace and quiet with amazing sunsets and sunrises. The stars that you could see at night were amazing. I would highly recommend staying here. Tom and Nancy were great hosts and we look forward to returning!
