We can now say we stayed in a yurt…a very roomy, clean and well furnished yurt! It was fun. We did hear the coyotes singing and the ducks quacking. The sunset and the stars were amazing.

Property was nice. The yurt was beautiful inside and out. You can tell alot of care went into creating this space. Many creature comforts were available. Stocked kitchen equipment. Full tea and coffe bar. The 3 heating options were perfect and kept us warm the entire time. Definately a place to visit.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Yurt at Scrappy Duck Farms in Mancos, CO, & I cannot sing its praises enough. Nestled so close to Mesa Verde National Park, the location is a dream for nature lovers & history enthusiasts alike. Even in November, when the nights were chilly, the warm & inviting glow of the fire inside the yurt kept me comfortably snug throughout the night. One of the most enchanting features was the clear dome atop the yurt, offering a breathtaking view of the bright stars in the night sky. It was a cosmic experience, witnessing the celestial beauty while being cozily tucked away. The yurt itself was stocked with thoughtful extras, ensuring that everything I needed was at my fingertips. From the essentials to delightful surprises, the attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. Going into town was a delightful adventure, with the local bakery & cidery becoming personal favorites. The culinary delights in Mancos are not to be missed! The hosts of the yurt were exceptionally chill & responsive, adding a personal touch to the overall experience. Their hospitality enhanced the trip, making it truly unforgettable. Now, after sharing my experience, all my friends are eager to join the yurt craze & experience the magic for themselves. Scrappy Duck Farms & its Yurt have set the bar high for future getaways – an absolute gem that I wholeheartedly recommend to anybody seeking a unique & cozy retreat!

I and my two adult sons came for a week to this area for the first time for the 3rd Rifle Season. Loved it, was central to all our off road/hiking adventures. Clean and comfortable making our stay really a memorable one… will book again!

Everything was wonderful! The night sky was awesome through the skylight. Perfect location for our stay. Mancos had some wonderful restaurants. Beds are comfortable, big bathroom, temperature easy to control. Only concern was some of the "construction" supplies left around property. I would definitely come back!

We absolutely loved staying at this property. The yurt was exceptionally clean and well appointed. Truly impressed. I would highly recommend. Our only regret was not having enough time to spend at the yurt! We were too busy hiking to really enjoy the amenities.

We had a wonderful time at the yurt on Scrappy Duck Farm. It had everything we needed, and it was so nice to NOT have a TV for a few days. The view and sunsets were stunning, the sky was clear so we could see so many stars, and the owners were very friendly.

The yurt waa super cute, clean, had an amazing view and comfy beds! Great for a quick 1 night stop across country, but would've loved more time there.

The yurt is cozy, clean and beautifully furnished. The wifi worked great! We enjoyed the town of Mancos as well. The yurt was a lovely place to come back to after a long but awesome day at Mesa Verde National Park!

Lovely property with well thought out features that sits within (distant) view of the entrance road to Mesa Verde NP. Our sons were thrilled when they got to meet and pet two ducklings, and our youngest was further impressed that the owners were constructing a back deck that would allow for wheelchair access. The property is quiet, and the loft area (the 'master' bedroom) provides a beautiful view of the night sky. Two separate bunk beds meant the kids each had a bit of a private area.

I live in nearby Cortez, but when my sister and her family came to visit, I wanted a place where we could all be together. This charming yurt just outside of Mancos, Colorado fit the bill. We awoke to gorgeous views (the photos, while gorgeous themselves, don't nearly do the view of Mesa Verde justice), played games in the evening, and ventured out into town (Durango and Cortez are near) or the forest in the day. I definitely recommend Scrappy Duck Farm for anyone looking for rustic charm with all the comforts of home.

We loved our stay at this beautifully appointed and lovingly maintained yurt! The host was communicative and friendly and made us feel very welcome. The yurt itself was pretty amazing -- plenty of space for our family of four adults with all the amenities you'd expect of a square dwelling. ;) You can tell the host is an experienced craftsman, from the repurposed hardwood floors to the loft and bunk bed areas. When the deck is complete, the space will be even better. We appreciated that they left a container of items we might have forgotten, like toothbrushes, etc. The best moment was waking up in the middle of the night and seeing the Big Dipper through the round window at the apex of the roof -- simply beautiful! Just a short drive from the town of Mancos, which has quaint shops and a great coffee/breakfast at Fahrenheit Coffee.

We were instantly intrigued the moment we drove up to the Yurt. Craig and Katie have customized your stay for comfort and SW Colorado ambience. They were quick and gracious to respond to any questions or requests. The yurt accommodated cooking, sleeping, resting and reading perfectly. Curated books and games for children and adults are available. There is a sweet spot to sit outside to picnic or view the sun setting over Mesa Verde. We spent 2 full days exploring Mesa Verde and plan to go back. Be sure to reserve tours into the cliff dwellings before your visit @recreation.gov. Listen to a few episodes of the podcast, Mesa Verde Voices, while you are there to understand this cultural treasure better. We brought mountain bikes with us and had a beautiful 15 mile gravel ride heading left out of the driveway to the end of the road. We also were able to mountain bike at Phil’s World, 20 minutes away. I can’t say enough good things about that unique space. There are many other places nearby to ride and hike. Delicious ciders and food trucks are at Fenceline Ciders in Mancos. This small community is charming! Our hosts volunteer much of their time to strengthening Mancos. We certainly plan to come back to The Yurt at Scrappy Duck farm soon.

This was one of our top experiences at VRBO. This yurt is expertly organized and provides everything you need to enjoy your stay. Family of six and we had plenty of room to sleep, play games and enjoy the beautiful view. Minutes away from Mesa Verde. Gorgeous view of the stars at night. This place is special.

What an incredible stay! This Yurt is so well crafted and appointed to be simple, elegant, and artistic. There was a perfect amount of privacy for sleeping but open for shared time. Craig was incredible with communication and very hospitable despite being away from home himself. Morning coffee looking out over an incredible Mesa Verde view...what more could one want. If I'm out here again, this is definitely going to be a stop!

The Yurt at Scrappy Duck is an incredible place to stay. Comfortable, convenient, well stocked, beautifully decorated, and on a duck farm! The hosts are very responsive!

We LOVED the Yurt. We were all together and loved the view, the home, Mancos & the Cliff Dwellings. We have 6 kids, but there was space for everyone. It beats tent camping!

Absolutely perfect. We came to Scrappy Duck Farm after two weeks hiking the Utah parks and Mesa Verde. It was the ideal spot to slow our pace and take in the beautiful surroundings. The farm was minutes from the lovely town of Mancos. The yurt was very spacious, beautifully decorated with wonderful kitchen and bath amenities. Everything was spotless and new, including a washer and dryer. The layout was great for a large group, with sleeping areas tucked away for privacy. From the upper floor bed we could see the night stars through the ceiling dome. All this within a comfortable drive to the local sights and parks. Our host was super accommodating, even left us duck eggs for breakfast. A definite “come back to place”.

My family of four very much enjoyed our stay at the yurt on Scrappy Duck Farm. The Yurt is large and very nicely decorated with any necessities you would need for a stay. The view of the nearby mountains is amazing! The yurt was very clean and and comfortable. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay for 1 night, but I would recommend an extended stay :)
