The best part of staying at the Far View Lodge is that it is inside Mesa Verde NP and you don't need to make a 50 mile roundtrip (to a Cortez hotel) to come back to the park the next day. As others have said, the rooms are very basic. No TV. Our bathroom and shower were very small, like... More

A clean, quiet, comfortable room with a small private balcony and a refrigerator. We had no problems with moths in our room. Cheerful, friendly welcome from front desk staff. Don't miss the Metate Room!

Small room and even smaller bathroom but clean. Quite basic but probably what you expect when staying inside the park in a ‘lodge’. There was a balcony with a view across the Valley, there is a fridge but no TV. It was very peaceful to sleep there, but unfortunately the mattress was no longer any good and it was quite... More

We spent two nights at Far View Lodge, arriving just in time to watch the amazing annular solar eclipse on May 20 from our own private balcony. What a treat! The rooms are small, the bathrooms are tiny, and yes - we caught and released at least a dozen moths from our room. But you can't beat the location -... More

We stayed in an updated Kiva room at Far View Lodge during the week of May 11, 2012. What a great bed! After hiking and seeing the cliff dwellings, the mattress felt wonderful. Of course, the great meals at the Metate Room helped, too. We just had appetizers 2 nights, but splurged the last night - it was one of... More

The location on the edge of Mesa Verde with a view of the Park is wonderful. However, the rooms are small and the bathrooms smaller. Decor is early 1950 and the walls are thin. We had a Kiva room so I hate to think what the others are like. The restaurant is adequate but again the view is the main... More

The lodge is a great spot for exploring Mesa Verde. Ask for an upgraded Kiva room. Some rooms have views. The rooms are small with 2 very comfy double Beds with a nice comforter and good pillows. Coffee maker and refrigerator are also in the rooms.

We recently spent two nights at the Far View. We had a Kiva room, with king bed, and breakfast. First the good stuff...awesome views, you can see forever, good location for a park visit, good bed, seems to have been recently renovated. The not so good stuff...the security light in the parking lot lit our room up like mid-day, breakfast... More

While the rooms are 60's vintage park service, with relatively thin walls, we found everything to be comfortable and clean. Each room has a private balcony, from which one can enjoy great views. The main restaurant at the lodge is a fantastic place to enjoy dinner. Superb food and great wines (make sure to taste something from the local winery... More
