Lodging overview

Ancient Echoes is a refuge 38 acres of wild lands with three slot canyons creating a fluvial overflow from Canyons of The Ancients National Monument with whom we respectfully share a border. The public entrance to the monument is Sand Canyon, a mere 2.2 miles further on our road ( CR G). The entry to Mesa Verde is 8 miles east of Cortez. Our guest dwellings, recently renovated, are situated across the land in several locations. Get a sense of the place on our map below: ( click on circles for hotlink)

We invite our guests to sink in. We have a 2 night minimum.. (except for camping). We try to keep the quantity right so the quality of experience is great for all of us. You can expect around 20 other folks wandering around the place on a full day.

We love dogs! though we accept your dog pals only in the Sleeping Ute Suite and in camping, at our discretion.

Trailhead to Sand Canyon, public entrance to Canyons of The Ancients National Monument 2 miles on Road G.

We are also located within The Trail of The Ancients scenic byway, Americas' only highway dedicated to archeology. This is a fascinating loop and we are perfectly! situated for that exploration.
