Kokopelli's Cave

We slept in a cave!!! What an incredible experience. Make sure to listen to the meeting instructions because Google maps does not know the way there. You’ll meet the host and she’ll drive you to the garage where you park your car. The road is rough but our SUV did great. Then you grab your things and walk down to the cave which is about a 2-5 minute walk but you don’t want to carry a suitcase as it would be impossible to drag it and you’d have to lift it over the rocks. Bring a backpack like they suggest. The view is amazing! They have an upper deck area and 2 porches. There was a random snow storm when we arrived but 10 minutes later it was sunny and we got to watch the sunset from the deck area. The cave is 1700sf so quite large. Stocked with almost anything you can think of. They have put a lot of thought into making it feel like a home. It is cool inside the cave so I was glad to have my thermals so I recommend bring warm and cozy clothes. There’s rocks everywhere that people decorate and hide around the cave and supplies to make your own. If you find the Vancouver, Canada rock, that’s me! It includes a continental breakfast which had more variety than most places I’ve seen plus all your basic cooking needs and things. We got to see chipmunks feeding right outside the door which was pretty cool. The whole experience was super unique and fascinating. We only stayed one night but I would have been happy to stay more. I highly recommend this cave!

This is an absolute must for your bucket list. We had a magical time here. The cave is really cool and quiet with a lovely view but the best part is all the rocks and art left behind by previous guests and reading the guest book. There's even a scavenger hunt a guest created. At night the stars were incredible and we heard an owl and saw a bat. It was fun watching the chipmunks and squirrels eating during the day too. The hot tub took hours to fill but was very pleasant. The amenities include everything you could need for a comfortable stay. What a fun and special place created by special people. I don't recommend this if you have really bad knees though as it's quite a steep hike down to the cave entrance. We went without kids but it would be a great place for kids too.

This was the experience of a lifetime. It had been on my bucket list for years and I was not dissapointed. Such a unique place. I couldn't have been happier to spend my 60th birthday there. Our host, Carissa, met us at a church in Farmington, and we followed her to the cave. We parked on top in a garage and walked down a steep and uneven walkway to the cave. For us, it just added to the adventure. Once there, she was extremely helpful, giving us the tour and answering questions. I was surprised at a birthday sign hung in the entryway, flowers, and cake, for my birthday. The kitchen and cabinets were stocked with all kinds of things, but we did buy a few things like eggs and lunch meat. I absolutely loved the bathroom and shower. There is one bedroom, with a balcony. It is closed of with curtains. My daughter stayed with us in this room. There is an air mattress. The two boys slept on futon in the main living area. Food was supplied to feed the squirrels and sugar water for the hummingbirds. There were so many. Enjoyed a glass of wine, they supplied, up on the "island" as the sunset one night. There is a fire pit you can use. I just can't stress enough what an amazing experience this was. I couldn't have had a better birthday. We did hike around the property by the cave one day and visited Mesa Verde, 1 hr away, the next. It is best to pack in backpacks as it would be quite a challenge getting up and down with regular luggage. This is one place you just have to experience!

Unique cave hotel, once in a lifetime experience, not for the faint hearted, the trip down the cliff requires a certain level of fitness.

This was the most amazing experience! We were only able to stay one night, but we fully plan to visit again, probably without the toddler this time. Our daughter loved the chipmunks and squirrels that would just come right up to eat. The view is beautiful. Sadly, it was overcast when we stayed, so we didn’t get the sunset we had hoped for, but maybe we’ll catch it on our next visit. Be sure you pack all you need for your stay in one backpack if you can! You won’t want to make multiple trips back to the vehicle because it’s definitely hike! They have a full kitchen, so bring food to make dinner, breakfast or lunch so you don’t have to leave the property if you are staying for more than a night. Enjoy!!!

This was one of the most amazing experiences we’ve ever had. I celebrated my husband’s birthday there and I feel privileged. Tommy was the check in staff that took us to the cave and was super helpful in giving information and was so kind, he even went out of his way to show a Little artifact on the way for our son who is 4. My babies had so much fun with the critters outside in the balcony. Bruce, the owner was also so kind as he helped us with our stay because of a technical issue I had with the reservation. On a whole it was an amazing experience to have as a family or with friends or for a honeymoon. Strongly recommend.

An amazing place! The cave is very roomy and cozy inside, with fantastic views! The only hard part is you need to hike in about 100 yds to get to the entrance via a narrow and steep path, and you have to carry everything in by hand. But it is totally worth it!

Such a unique and cool experience! The cave is actually pretty luxurious and the bathroom with the rock waterfall type shower was great. The porch area to sit out on was the best with amazing views! A little scary drop off though so be careful! I’m glad they didn’t ruin it though with barriers and impede the view. I was skeptical of 2 things going in— feeling claustrophobic and dark in the cave and how strenuous the hike in would be with a young child (10 years old). The cave is actually open to the side of the cliff so it was not dark or claustrophobic. It has 2 outdoor spaces and feels very light and airy. The hike in was really easy. Maybe not great for elderly, very young children or those with major health conditions. But it was really easy for the majority of people I would say. We loved our stay! Only had one weird issue with a drone actually being flown up to the cave and watching us as we sat in the small balcony of the bedroom. It was uncomfortable for sure and at first we thought it was a UFO coming towards us ha ha because of the hovering light!
