Welcome to The Dome at Mesa Verde!
The Ranch at Mesa Verde is a FAMILY RUN guest ranch, the number one Airbnb in our area (read our detailed reviews and check out our content), and the closest refined, luxurious escape to Mesa Verde National Park. This is true luxury, NOT GLAMPING: fully insulated, thoughtfully stocked, and supremely comfortable.
We also offer guided horseback riding as an add-on option to your stay. Come experience a memorable horseback ride through the rolling sagebrush and juniper forests where we search and find evidence of ancient civilizations!
A cherished dream brought to life, The Dome at Mesa Verde awaits on our incredible 250-acre property, secluded down a mile-long private driveway. Here, profound privacy reigns—no neighbors, no city lights—amid breathtaking sunsets, untamed mountain vistas, and the enduring spirit of the Wild West. Just 5 miles from vibrant Cortez and a mere mile from Mesa Verde's entrance, adventure beckons while serenity envelops you.
♡ Why Choose The Dome at Mesa Verde♡
- Unrivaled Uniqueness: Our Custom geodesic masterpiece features the following:
1. a lofted KING BED under a star gazing skylight in the upstairs portion of the Dome (ladder access),
2. An ultra-plush QUEEN MEMORY FOAM pull-out high end Joybird Sofa (read the reviews on how comfortable the pullout couch is).
3. and a cozy SINGLE pull-out high end Joybird sofa—framed by panoramic views of Ute Mountain, the La Platas, and Mesa Verde's majestic silhouette.
This comfortably sleeps 5 people with the option for a FLOOR MATTRESS to increase to 6 people.
- Stunning Surroundings: You are truly in the Wild West at the Dome. The Driveway alone is well over a mile with no neighbors, just timeless vistas, mountain peaks and rolling sagebrush pastures where very little light pollution reaches you from any direction! Watch our American Quarter Horses graze against epic views, wander private hiking trails, and lose yourself in stargazing beneath a certified Dark Sky sanctuary.
- Cozy Luxuries: Unwind in a Finnish cedar wood-fired sauna, gather around a grand outdoor fire pit, or savor meals from the wood-fired grill. The fully equipped kitchen delights with fridge/freezer, farm sink, vintage propane stove, coffee/tea station (French press, pour-over, drip brewer, organic blends), plus utensils, oils and spices.
- Elegant Comfort: Lounge in a vibrant living space illuminated by modern lighting, stream on a big-screen Roku TV, and indulge with plush robes and stemless crystal wine glasses.
- Seamless Adventure: Access Phil’s World “Hippie Loop” through our private gate, or embark on guided horseback rides across the property and into the mountains.
- Essentials at a Glance: On-property horseback riding • Reliable high-speed WiFi and cell service • Luxurious organic bath products.
