If you’ve ever wanted to stay in an enchanting Swiss chalet overlooking a beautiful valley surrounded by mountains and mesas—without leaving the U. S.—this is it! The Sunset Chalet at Sweet Surrender Ranch offers three interior floors comprising a master suite loft, a first floor second bedroom, two full bathrooms and a partially finished basement with third full bath across 1,700 square feet of interior living space and 900 square feet of outdoor deck and patio space in a cozy vacation home perched majestically on a ridge overlooking the Montezuma Valley. The Chalet has two indoor stairways to get around from floor to floor. In addition to stunning high-ground vistas, which you can view from the Chalet’s great room, master bedroom, patio, deck, and private spa hot tub, the Ranch has 10 private acres with trails for guests seeking a tranquil communion with nature, without giving up the comforts of home. The Ranch also borders approximately 2,000 acres of public wild lands, which are available for hiking and walks. 🌅During your stay at the Ranch, your privacy is guaranteed—the Chalet is the only living quarters on the Ranch (not a guesthouse). There is however a doorbell/deadbolt/recording camera on the main entry door that will alert the owner when someone approaches the outside of the main door. It will also record a short video if the deadbolt is locked. No audio is heard or recorded. The Ranch grounds and Chalet are also smoke/vape free and pet-free. If you intend to smoke tobacco or cannabis products on the grounds, we ask you to book one of the many different bnb’s in the area that permit such smoking. While service animals are permitted, they must not be left alone at the Ranch. Emotional support animals are prohibited if law and VRBO rules permit the prohibition. Pets of any kind or breed are not permitted. Packages may be delivered to the Chalet using private services such as UPS and FedEx. However the U. S. Postal Service does not deliver to the Chalet. 🌅We generally limit guest stays to 15 nights maximum though exceptions are possible. If you need a stay in excess of 15 days, please consult us; other vacation rentals in the area can also oblige. The Ranch is nestled peacefully among the indigenous Pinyon Pine, Juniper, and Scrub Oak just 10 minutes/6 miles from Mesa Verde National Park, 20 minutes from Cortez, and 45 Minutes from the famous mountain town of Durango. The Ranch is only 5 miles from the U.S. Rt. 160 Mesa Verde National Park exit (the same exit for the Ranch) and accessible by a well maintained subdivision gravel/dirt road, and the Ranch's own asphalt driveway. 🌅A number of local attractions are within minutes including the exceptional Phil's World mountain biking area. For those guests who like to take walks or hikes, or who bring their ATVs or UTVs, the Ranch includes a trail system around the property and on the 2,000 acres of wild land surrounding the property. The trails are hilly and strenuous and in a natural state so caution must be observed when using them, but they are marked for safety and convenience. Please see the Ranch’s Hospitality Guide for a trail map and important safety information before using the Ranch’s trail system. The Ranch’s asphalt and gravel driveways can be used for easier walks. The Ranch is also trailer friendly—no need to worry about backing up. The main driveway is supported by a gravel loop driveway that was built to allow trailers and large vehicles like motorhomes convenient access. There is also a 30 amp outdoor RV receptacle on the loop driveway. 🌅Designed to fit well within the natural environment around it, the Chalet is decorated with Dine (Navajo) tribal art, and a southwestern motif, with traditional western accents. The main southwest facing exterior wall of the Chalet is a Swiss styled angled prow design made nearly entirely of glass 2 stories high—so even when you're inside, you feel like you're outside! There are dining tables on the deck and patio that invite you outside. There is also a 4 person western themed dining/game table and cozy sitting area next to a beautiful soapstone wood stove inside the Chalet (a 5th portable chair is also available). The coffee table in the sitting area has a top that raises up to accommodate laptop computers. In the loft you will find the master bedroom complete with a luxurious two person whirlpool bathtub and an olympic/extended queen bed (six inches wider than a standard queen). Above the jet tub is a large picture window facing northeast through which the La Plata Mountains and the summer morning sun are in full view. There are also two small closets, double vanities, a shower and a toilet with bidet. Finally, there is a small smart TV with access to 200 channels on the Chalet’s Dish Network account, including local channels and some movie channels. Streaming internet services such as Netflix are also available through ROKU, The large loft is also the master bedroom. Being at the top of stairs and around a corner, the loft is mostly private from the great room below—there is no door to the loft/master bedroom. The custom crafted bed however is not visible at all from outside the bedroom so your privacy while sleeping is secure. Additionally, the toilet and shower area in the loft does have a pocket door for complete privacy (see photos). Wireless Internet service is provided by Starlink, usually between 100 and 400 mbps. 🌅On the main floor there is a dining/game table for four (five with an extra portable chair), a sitting area by the wood stove, a small second bedroom, a full bathroom with shower/tub and toilet/bidet, a full kitchen and an extensive coffee bar with a Keurig K-Duo coffeemaker along with complimentary k-cups, and fresh ground coffee. With the Duo, you can make a single cup of your favorite morning joe using a k-cup or make an entire carafe using the fresh ground coffee we provide. In addition to the Keurig, we have a Nespresso Vertuo espresso and coffee pod brewer, and a variety of complimentary Nespresso Vertuo pods. You will find a wide variety of coffees in the coffee bar including Starbucks and Gevalia. You will also find a variety of Torani liquid syrup sweeteners. Finally, we supply a French press as well as electric and stovetop espresso coffee makers. We often provide a bottle of wine for our guests though not always. In the small 2nd bedroom, there is a queen bed, chest, smart TV with streaming services available, and closet. 🌅The small 2nd bedroom is approximately 12 x 11 (see photos), but you can be sure of getting a good night’s sleep on the high-end queen size pillow-top mattress. The guests occupying the 2nd bedroom also have their own private full bathroom so no bathroom sharing is required. 🌅In the partially finished basement you will find a smart TV, PlayStation 5 game console and a few video games, sitting area, a clothes washer and dryer and a beautiful Vermont Castings direct vent propane faux wood stove that provides heat on those cold winter nights. There is also a full bathroom with a Jacuzzi jetted bathtub. Outside there is a large redwood deck with a beautiful 6 person Artesian spa hot tub that stargazers will love. We also provide oversized bath towels for the spa, and an assortment of men’s and women’s swimwear for those guests who forgot their own. 🌅Under the large deck there is a well appointed covered concrete patio that will keep you dry during the occasional afternoon thunderstorm. The patio abuts a gravel courtyard where you can roast marshmallows in our “smokeless” steel fireplace, or have a romantic campfire. We provide complimentary sweet smelling juniper and pinyon firewood. There is also a water hose for dousing embers when your campfire is concluded. 🌅The summer air conditioning system is an evaporative cooling system often used in dry climates. The Chalet is powered by the local utility supplemented by our own solar generating equipment. The Hospitality Guide gives detailed information on the operation of the Chalet’s systems including the air conditioning, spa hot tub, whirlpool bathtub, woodstove, and lighting, as well as a map of the Ranch’s trails. There are a variety of brochures and books about the Four Corners region in the Chalet. 🌅In June, the cedar gnats do arrive and can be quite bothersome in this region for about a month. We provide head nets and picaridin repellent spray for those guests that need extra protection. 🌅During winter, all season tires and four or all-wheel drive are highly recommended. The dirt/gravel subdivision roads are partially hilly and will be slippery during or immediately after snowfall. If snow is forecast for your stay, you should consider 4 or all-wheel drive a necessity. Subdivision roads are generally plowed to a depth of 2 to 4 inches of snow, which while effective for 4 or all-wheel drive, may be ineffective for 2 wheel drive vehicles. The Ranch driveway and walkway will be plowed and shoveled when snowfall exceeds 2 inches. For light snowfalls, we provide salt melt and snow shovels for guests to use. We also have an electric snow shovel/blower that works great. Guests must be willing to take responsibility for certain tasks at the Chalet such as bringing firewood we supply to the wood stove or courtyard fire pit, opening and closing the hot tub cover, and dealing with light snow. Unlike a hotel, there is no on-site maintenance crew. 🌅For Tesla and other electric car owners, we have a 50 amp, 240 volt 14-50R charging pile for level 2 EV charging and a 40 amp (9.6 kw) portable charger with both J1772 and Tesla connectors. The 40 amp/240 volt portable charger and 50 amp receptacle/pile will provide enough power to complete a charge in about 6 to 9 hours, effective for overnight charging. We may use scented cleaning and laundry products. Nut products may have been used. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -

The views were absolutely stunning — a peaceful, breathtaking landscape that made it easy to relax and unwind. The hot tub was a perfect spot to enjoy the scenery, especially in the evenings.We stayed with our two college-age sons and used the trip to celebrate both Mother’s Day and our middle son's graduation. It was the perfect getaway to spend quality family time together. The home was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, scenic retreat! ##### Lara S.

It was impeccably clean and in a beautiful, private and very quiet setting. The house was amazing, and being a sunset chaser, I really savored the view of the lingering colorful clouds the night we were there. The hosts have thought of EVERYTHING in the way of offering little extras to make your stay enjoyable and provide everything you'll need. The furnishings in the house were so unique and interesting; we were constantly noticing little touches that we had missed previously, even a very cool cliff dwelling replica lamp!The location was extremely convenient to Mesa Verde NP. We highly recommend the awesome Swiss Chalet! ##### Happy R.

Great location, the neighborhood was right across from the entrance of Mesa Verde, and had awesome view from the home. Enjoyed the amenities of the property and the host we had was an experienced park ranger with plenty of tips for our Mesa Verde visit. The hot tub was a great way to relax after a day of hiking in the park. The owner does a great job with communication and providing details of the property ahead of time, which is great for those who like to be ahead of the game. Thanks for an awesome stay. ##### Robbie F.

We loved Sweet Surrender Sunset Chalet and hope to return again in the future. Just minutes from Mesa Verde National Park, we were able to enjoy the park for two days and come back to a fabulous hot tub among the sunset and stars. The robes to get to and from the hot tub were a wonderful surprise bonus! Thank you, Torin, for sharing your home, and thank you, David for being a wonderful host! ##### Megan D.

The amenities are wonderful with an over the top coffee bar!! Communication with the host and owner was great. Any issues were resolved immediately!! The hospitality of host and owner was awesome!! The only issue we had was that we were two “mature” couples traveling and the second bedroom is very small and was a little difficult to navigate. The chalet is perfect for a younger couple with 1-2 children. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. ##### Roger H. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ---
