Willowtail Springs Garden Cottage, a wonderful surprise in a
private setting! Nestled by itself amid lush
gardens, views and wildlife this charming log cabin looks east to the private
lake and LaPlata Mountains.
Experience wild and wonderful Southwest Colorado from a large covered deck.
Languish in the overstuffed and hand carved furniture with fresh coffee,
homemade bread and jam, yoga and the joyous antics of birds. Contemplate a
thought, a book or a loved one in the morning light, the immensity of stars, the brilliance of moonrise
or the exquisite beauty of rainbows
reflecting in water.
Take your child on an adventure. Go for a hike, a boat ride or
a fishing session together on the private lake. Adventure out to near-by Mesa Verde National Park,
stagecoach rides in Mancos
Valley or horseback riding in the mountains with "real" cowboys. Study the
area's fascinating Indian Culture at the Anasazi Heritage Museum, Hovenweep,
Canyon of the Ancients, or the Ute Mountain Tribal Park.
Snuggle with your sweetheart on the lion carved couch or in front of the cozy
fireplace. Feel the spring and summer gardens thick with the scents of
flowers and the blur of hummingbirds. Thrill to delicious fall air, autumn
color or huge winter snowflakes followed by sparkling sun.
Take a private holiday retreat for yourself. Rest, paint, read a
book, write a poem, bird watch or take a class in casual luxury and comfort, as
a family or during a romantic getaway.

"I
was able to launch the musical composition project on a bird song cycle which I
had been thinking about for years. Abba, as well as his wild companions were
inspiration." |
"You could advertise that you have one
of the top ten places on earth. I'll tell you where it is: |
The lovely bedroom has a queen bed and sitting area. In the living room a twin bed with "pop-up" underneath makes up to a king or two twin beds. A single futon can be used on the deck or on the living room floor. In winter it makes a cozy spot in front of the wood stove for sleeping or lounging.

"What a wonderful place -
as soon as we walked into the Garden Cottage we were smitten." |
|
A full bath with tub, shower and hand painted floor faces south to the garden. Savor the lovely bath products in a warm tub or an invigorating shower.
|
"The cabin is a work of art and
attention to detail, color, light and space. |
"The boys loved sleeping out on the
deck listening to owls and coyotes and waking to red winged black birds. |
"We found something new everyday
inside and outside; |
The kitchen faces west to the woods of pine and cedar. Walnut and pine floors, shelves and molding collected from the artist's family home in Michigan give warmth to the interior atmosphere.
|
|
The warmth and atmosphere are accentuated with antique
quilts, hand hooked rugs and whimsical pieces of art. TV, VCR, VHS movie videos, radio, tape and CD players plus private phone are in the cabin. WI-FI is available in the office. Books, magazines and games provide fun and peaceful hours. |
"What a great spot! As
expected, we've come to the end of our stay and the boys do NOT
want to leave. Either we leave them here with you to fish in the pond everyday
or else I have to dig a bass pond at home..."

"It is
not often that something exceeds our expectations and the Garden Cottage so far
exceeded ours that we were amazed. Rustic ambiance is never sacrificed for
modern convenience but contemporary comfort is not lost . . . Every detail is
worthy of quiet contemplation, every nook and cranny rewards your exploration."
