Fodor's Expert Review Far View Lodge

Across from Far View Visitor Center, 1 Navajo Road, 15 miles southwest of park entrance, Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado, 81330, USA Fodor's Choice

Talk about a view—all rooms have a private balcony, from which you can admire views of the neighboring states of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico up to 100 miles in the distance. The newly upgraded "kiva" rooms offer updated furnishings, linens, and air-conditioning. The property has free Wi-Fi and occasional educational guest speakers. The Metate Room, the lodge's dining room, is acclaimed for its fine steaks and excellent Southwestern fare. At night, grab appetizers and drinks in the panoramic cocktail lounge or on the rooftop balcony.
