This well-equipped, historic Farmhouse is located in downtown Mancos—a thriving arts community with a “wild west” vibe. Work comfortably from home, walk to restaurants, grab a cider, beer or a coffee just minutes from the front door. The house sits 10 minutes from the Mesa Verde National Park gate, 15 minutes from the mountain biking mecca, Phil’s World, or 30 minutes from downtown Durango. Nearby Cortez has additional amenities and access to the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. Oak Street Farmhouse is a historic, 130+ year-old house (built in 1888!) with a ton of character. It has been renovated with modern conveniences, a fun and vibrant aesthetic, and a more open layout. The house has an open floor plan with a full kitchen, dining, and living room that flow into one another. The home office sits downstairs with a bath/shower directly across the hall. Upstairs is the master bedroom, attached master bath, and tv/lounge area. Enjoy a meal or a conversation outdoors under the comfortable, covered back patio right off the kitchen that adjoins the large backyard. A full laundry room is available for what may be a much needed, mid-adventure clean-up. This is not your typical Airbnb setup. We often think about the amenities we would love to have when we're travelling - spices, oils for meals, complete cook sets, a bbq, music and entertainment (including books!) are all things we want to pass on to our guests. We have a HomePod Mini speaker downstairs for great music, use your streaming apps on each TV, and enjoy fast, reliable wifi throughout the house and outside patio thanks to Eero. And don’t worry about keys during your stay, the front door will be pre-programmed with your own unique entry code. At 7,000 feet in elevation, Mancos enjoys cool evenings in the summer, but we don’t typically get enough snow during the winter to worry about getting stranded. ***Looking for something more remote?*** Visit our Airbnb profile to check out our other rental: the Cliff House at Sage Canyon.
