Sundance Bear Lodge, offering a variety of lodging options in the Four Corners Region, is surrounded by 80-plus acres of pastures, pinyon and juniper forest, and canyon. Guests are welcome to explore on foot or on their horse. Located four miles north of Mancos, Colorado, the lodge boasts a night sky that is beyond belief.

Relax in western casual luxury in bed and breakfast rooms, or a cabin or guest house (with full kitchen). The Main Lodge has two rooms -- a queen in one (Mancos room), and an oversized queen plus single in the other (Mesa Verde Queen) -- each with private bath. The Great Room provides wonderful space perfect for reading, TV, cards, board games, and conversation. If guests can't escape the work-a-day world, fax, lap top computer, copy machine, and High Speed Internet access are available.

The Log Cabin, across the pond from the Main Lodge offers a spectacular view of the sunsets. The cabin is a romantic, round log structure with a queen bedroom downstairs and a double bed plus sofa in the loft. It has one bath and three decks. Additional amenities include a gas log fireplace, charcoal grill, and refrigerator, electric stove and oven, microwave, coffeemaker, and toaster. The cabin can be rented self-catering style (you do your own meals) or Bed and Breakfast style (full breakfast provided).

For larger families or groups of friends, the Guest House presents an ideal alternative. This three-bedroom house has 2-1/2 baths and sleeps eight to ten people. With two driveway entrances, the house can be rented complete or as two separate units. The great room/kitchen common area separates the two units. Unit 1 has a king and day bed plus private bath. Unit 2 has two rooms, one with a king bed and the other with two queens, with a bath in between. There are two decks as well. The Guest House is self-catering only.

For extra fun, how about a night in a Sioux tepee?

For Bed and Breakfast guests, your hosts will do their best to customize the full breakfast to suit your travel needs and dietary restrictions. Breakfast is served anytime after 7:30 a.m., enhancing the feeling of freedom this part of the country exudes.

Southwestern Colorado offers a smorgasbord of things to do and see. The lodge is central between Durango's famous train ride and Mesa Verde National Park, two items on your must-do list. For those interested in the abundant Native American culture, Hovenweep is a local Utah and Colorado Anasazi site that is well worth visiting, as are The Anasazi Heritage Center and the Indian Dancing summer nights in Cortez. Skiers won't want to miss Purgatory Ski Resort when the snow falls. Hiking, biking, fishing, golf, and relaxing are also available. The Lodge has a corral for guests horses should they decide to bring some along.

Return to the Sundance Bear Lodge after an active day. The hot tub on the Main Lodge porch is always there for your relaxation. There is a sauna inside as well. The hammock for one (two if you're careful) is another lazy option. The porches offer great views of the La Plata Mountains, Mesa Verde, and the Sleeping Ute as well as the evening sky -- the "theater of the sunset," which is always free!
