Very good location in the park. It’s definitely more “cabin-like” and basic. It was nice to have the restaurant there with incredible views and good food. The room rate was very affordable.

The lady I checked in with was very helpful, getting me creamer as there was no milk available for purchase. There could have been more food choices available in the lounge but the bartender and lounge staff were wonderful, friendly and very helpful as I was with my elderly mother who is picky. The room was nice especially the beds and pillows.

Thank you for not having a tv in the room. Food was excellent. It was great not having the light pollution so that we could see the Milky Way at night.

We loved this hotel, in spite of the fact that it is in need of renovations. They seem to need more employees. The linens were not completely clean and we could hear EVERY word the guests in next room spoke.
It is a beautiful spot, and staff was friendly. I hope the needed renovations and repairs are done.

We loved the Far View Lodge! We had a room with a view and the sunset was amazing. Clean room that kept with the Mesa Verde theme. If you are going to Mesa Verde, I would definitely recommend staying here! Shaves about 40 mins off your drive time to the hikes and cliff dwelling tours.

Far View Lodge is inside the boundaries of Mesa Verde. The room had a balcony and you could see the surrounding valleys for several miles. It was quiet and peaceful.

It was a beautiful property, with wild horses that were outside our patio when we woke up. The view was to die for. Our fan in our bathroom didn’t work, but other than that for the area I would hook it again.
