Kokopelli's Cave

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!

This was one of a kind. Great veiws So clean Spotless We ordered dinner in. The food was great and enough for two days The walk down to the cave a little tricky but we made it We are in our 60s and have bad knees My boyfriend has MS but we did it acouple times What a idea the owner had There’s not one word to explain this place You need to see it to believe it Much more than a 5 star

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.

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!

This place is AMAZING! Bruce was so kind and courteous. I was so exhausted from a long drive and he was so nice to help with my luggage to the cave. The cave itself was breathtaking and the amenities were perfect. The space had such a light and happy energy. We will definitely return.

We recently stayed at Kokopelli’s Cave and it was hands down one of the best trips we ever took. My only regret is we didn’t stay longer. We did 3 days, 2 nights. It was truly spectacular and we had amazing sunsets, romantic dinners, great views and so much more. While we didn’t want to leave the cave, another highlight was De Na Zin Wilderness and Bisti Badlands (2 different locations). Both wilderness and no cell signal but some of the most amazing views and sights I’ve never seen anything like it! Carissa helped us to find the cave and was very helpful and friendly. We did not want to leave! We also had an incredible storm roll in and got some great footage of lightning and thunder across the valley! Best vacation ever!

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!

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!!!
