Colorado Cabins, Cottages, Wedding Venue, Destination Stays & More

From cozy Colorado cabins to sumptuous cottages nestled in lush gardens, Willowtail Springs is an oasis in the heart of Mesa Verde country. With an abundance of natural beauty, fascinating history and soul-stirring peace and quiet, plan on staying with us at least three days to squeeze the most out of your experience at Willowtail Springs.

While most guests visit Mesa Verde during their stay, Willowtail Springs is also within 30-40 minutes of other iconic Southwest Colorado destinations, like the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Click here for Things to Do Close to Willowtail, and check out our page on Mesa Verde for more information on how to best experience this remarkable World Heritage Site.

Beyond exploring Mesa Verde, Willowtail Springs overflows with special experiences to partake in right on property. Fishbird-watch, create or simply sit in one of our gardens and savor the sounds of buzzing bees and singing frogs as butterflies and dragonflies dance on the breezes. Click here for Things to Do Close to Willowtail, and information on our commitment to Land and Wildlife Conservation.

It's impossible to ignore the splendor of Willowtail's seclusion and enormous creative energy pulsing through the property. Bring your sketch pad and paints. Take a class or workshop. Sign up for a retreat or extended-stay residency. Host your own seminar. The options are endless!

While couples might enjoy our elopement, honeymoon or romance packages, writers, artists and natural scientists will be just as comfortable with the amenities of our onsite working studios. Gallery and studio space caters to corporate meetings, writing retreats, music venues, photography shows, experiential learning opportunities and more.

If you're needing a break from the solace of open spaces, join other guests at the dock or the tree-top deck at the Cloys for happy hour, watching storms roll across the La Plata Mountains in the distance and waiting for those soul-stirring rainbows to pop across the sky.

In short, the pure bliss of Willowtail can't be experienced in one evening or even two, so plan on staying an extra day to enjoy the grounds. Unclear about how to use your time? Peggy is more than happy to help piece together an itinerary to help you make the most of Willowtail's supreme, simple beauty. Please don't hesitate to call with questions or ideas!
