About Willowtail Springs

Willowtail Springs is an Eden in itself and just 10 minutes from the amenities of downtown Mancos, CO. Willowtail Springs is also about 10 minutes from the gates to Mesa Verde National Park. This artistic and landscaped retreat is quiet and secluded and has the best of both worlds with such a convenient locale.

Couples and small groups will adore the private lakefront cabin lodging on 60 beautiful protected acres.


Willowtail Springs caters to artists and writers with packages combining workshops or art studio space with lodging. Tai Chi is another focus at Willowtail Springs where guests can schedule a private Tai Chi workshop session.

Willowtail Springs can accommodate family reunions, artist retreats, and even small weddings. The ambiance on the property is astounding with misty streams and lakes as well as awesome sunrises and sunsets above the Colorado mountain peaks. The grounds are highlighted by gardens and meandering forest trails as well as private lakes, one of which is stocked for catch and release big mouth bass fishing.

The Willowtail Springs property and surrounding lands offer opportunities for mountain biking, hiking or horseback riding as well as casual exploration. Wintertime alpine and cross-country skiing and summertime golfing and whitewater rafting are also offered nearby.

Mesa Verde National Park is just around the corner and as if that was not enough, there is also the Ute Mountain Tribal Park offering pristine petroglyphs and the Anasazi Heritage Center highlighting the history of the Ancestral Puebloans.

The Bungalow Cabin features a queen-sized pillow-top bed with lake views in the bedroom. The sunroom includes two twin-sized beds that can also be scooted together to make a king-sized bed. The private bathroom features a hand-held shower and an antique claw foot bathtub. Details include wood carvings, stained glass, hardwood floors and awesome views every which way you look. The Bungalow Cabin has a fully furnished kitchen and barbecue on the patio.

This Bungalow Cabin would be perfect for a couple or up to four people.

The Garden Cottage is secluded in a private setting with landscaped gardens and wildlife all around. The bedroom features a queen-sized pillow-top bed with garden views. A twin-sized daybed in the living room has a pop-up trundle bed that together can create a king-sized bed or two twins. In addition, a single futon chair makes into an individual bed that can be placed just about anywhere in the cabin, including the porch or in front of the fireplace. The Garden Cottage has a private bathroom with a stall shower, tub and features an artistic hand-painted floor. A fully furnished kitchen with dining area offers indoor dining comfort with views of the forest.
