What a lovely place to stay! The cottages have all the comforts of home in the most peaceful place imaginable. It's like camping without all the work! The kitchens make meal preparation easy. The boats on the pond on the property are great fun for the kids. The natural setting is ideal for rest and relaxation.

There's so much to do in the area as well. My grandmother lived in Mancos for 54 years and we spent at least one week each summer there. Visiting Mesa Verde is not to be missed. The mountain scenery is breathtaking. Summertime in the high mountains is not to be missed.

When I want to get away, I got to Willowtail Springs. I have had the pleasure of staying in each of the cabins and every bed I have slept in has offered the best rest I have ever had! I personally like to write, draw and take pictures when I am there. I know there are many other activities available but I prefer the quiet the space offers. My husband and I planned our wedding during a stay there and came back, rented all of the cabins and brought our family. I love Willowtail Springs all year, especially when it snows. The views are gorgeous! Peggy and Lee stock the cabins with local eggs, produce, fresh bread and the most amazing cherry berry jam. Don't tell Peggy that I once ate an entire jarful with a spoon! It's a must stay if you are even thinking about staying near Mancos for a few nights or just want to get away!

Willowtail is a beautiful, interesting, inspiring place. The landscaping (whether by Ma Nature or by Peggy and Lee), is restfully beautiful. This place is whatever you need it to be -- romantic, restorative, exciting, educational, most of all lovely to inhabit for a while. Peggy and Lee have an obvious and contagious respect for Willowtail Springs; they are gracious, welcoming, non-intrusive stewards of this remarkable hideaway. We cannot wait to return.

We booked the lakehouse for 3 nights and wish it had been 5! It was beautiful, cozy and relaxing. My only regret is that I planned too many activities off the property and didn't leave enough time to just enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Thank you Peggy and Lee!
