Great location quiet

We stayed here to do some amateur astronomy and the location is perfect with dark skies and a wide horizon to work with. The house is spacious and has many nice places to hang out. The deck in the back is great and I hope we're able to stay here again during the summer to enjoy it more.

Dark skies

The house was perfect and luckily even with the cold weather it would clear up at night and it was amazing view. We also got to see the planets align. Definitely the spot for comfort and views for sure.

A great place to rest and relax

A very nice weekend trip in June. The views from the property are outstanding. It was only 2 of us and the pups, so we had plenty of space. We considered sleeping on the back patio the views during the day are great - at night when the stars come out maybe even better. It was very comfortable - coffee on the lower patio first thing in the morning, breakfast with a view upstairs. A great location to to explore Westcliffe, Silver Cliff, Bishops Castle, Florence, Canon City and Royal Gorge, Wineries in Penrose and Canon City and all forms of trails for every level. Fabulous stay - would definitely recommend.

I'll be back !!

Dana and I LOVE the Country and this VRBO is set in a beautiful location with breathtaking views - and in the evening you can see stars that you just don't see anywhere (unless you are in the Country)... The Home is awesome - really a nice place!! Check-in was easy as was Check-out -- We are building in Westcliffe - and the other VRBO that we rented before was booked -- and I'm really glad it was - because it was inside the town and I would much rather be outside the town -- I give this place a 10 out of 10 -- We will rent this again - we visit every three to four weeks...

We loved this vacation home. Quiet, beautiful mountains all around, excellant star gazing there and in the town of Westcliffe as well. Only ding is internet. The home has it, but the speed is slow.

Amazing cabin, unbelievable views, wildlife everywhere!

We loved our stay; something for everyone! We watched a great horned owl in his dusk hunt (didn't actually see him catch anything, which was fine by us), an energetic chipmunk, his neighbor bunny, a hawk, numerous deer and down the road a pair of elk. The night sky was unbelievably clear as promised. What a wonderful retreat! Thank you Melissa for sharing your comfortable, superbly equipped home. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.

Beautiful area, right smack on the Trans America Trail!

Loved the amazing views, remote location, privacy, and clean, comfortable beds. Dishwasher isn't currently working. This is a remote area that is not always accessible through cell service, so make sure you download directions and communicate early in. Totally worth those little inconveniences!
