Far View Lodge  

Perched inside Mesa Verde National Park at Mile Marker 15, Far View Lodge looks out over canyon country. It’s steps from Wetherill Mesa and a short drive to Far View Sites, Chapin Mesa Museum and Park Point. Cortez (CEZ) is about 49 km away; Durango–La Plata County Airport (DRO) is the preferred gateway, about 103 km distant.

Choose from 150 guestrooms with private balconies that deliver 100‑mile panoramic vistas into three states. Rooms feature refrigerators, iPod docking stations, microwaves, mini‑fridges, coffee/tea makers and partially open bathrooms with showers and complimentary toiletries. Expect clear canyon views and seasonal service — the property is closed between Oct 21 and Apr 16.

Stand‑out offerings include the Metate Room restaurant and bar/lounge, a coffee shop/cafe, 24‑hour reception, laundry and ironing services, and a lounge area. Free Wi‑Fi is available across the property. Pets are allowed on request for an extra charge, and free self‑parking is provided onsite.

Free on‑site self parking and property‑wide free Wi‑Fi make short work of logistics for remote work or day trips.

Dine at the Metate Room for regional flavors and a full bar/lounge vibe. A coffee shop/cafe handles lighter fares and grab‑and‑go needs. Buffet breakfasts are offered daily from 7 AM to 10 AM for a fee.
