We had the most wonderful time enjoying the spacious, well accommodated cabin with breathtaking views of the mountains! The beds were all very comfortable which is a rare find! The wifi and satellite let us have the conveniences we are used to and for entertainment. I felt like home in this beautiful, peaceful spot, a bit of heaven. The host was responsive abd helpful as well. We can’t wait to return and extend our stay! Highly recommend. Westcliffe is a quick jaunt away to get foid, enjoy the shops, etc. We loved Quintessential cabin!

Extremely quiet and peaceful location. We spent the evenings sitting on the back porch visiting and enjoying the peacefulness. The cabin is as advertised and we will plan to rent again when in the area.

Perfect Cabin

We've stayed in a lot of rentals, and this one is probably the only one that I haven't thought, "Oh, it needs this, or it should have that" We have friends in the area and we'll be back for sure!! Hopefully we can stay here again!

We had an absolutely lovely stay. The house and grounds are beautiful and peaceful. Very easy check in and check out process, fantastic location for access to all the wonderful trails in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, as well as fascinating historical places to visit in the Wet Mountain valley. Very grateful to our hosts for having us!

Perfect mountain getaway

Blissfully quiet, tranquil, secluded, exceptionally clean, and just all-around beautiful! It was close enough to different activities such as rafting, hiking and the train ride out of Canon City. Breakfast out on the wrap-around deck and star gazing at night was delightful! We had a wonderful time and wouldn’t hesitate coming out again!

Property shows a lot of planning and care in how it all comes together. I help maintain a 300 acre conservation easement and this property has some of the best fire mitigation I've seen.

Star Gazing Weekend

This property was great. Very remote, very roomy and exceptional in regards to experience, cleanliness, functioning amenities and very well equipped with every you need. It is quite an up hill drive late at night but that allows for great star viewing and very quiet nights on the deck. Come with everything you want to eat and drink as the there are no services until you get to Westcliff. Overall this place was awesome!

As much art gallery as it is a home

This beautiful home is well-stocked with a great library, games (board and electronic), movies and more to entertain guests. I particularly enjoyed the beautiful art adorning every wall as well the gorgeous pottery dishes provided for our use. Besides abundant comfortable seating on the large covered porches, there are chairs and tables scattered throughout the yard.

Awesome cabin retreat in the woods!

I and three of my friends spent two days/nights at this cabin to celebrate my 40th birthday and had a terrific time. It’s spacious, plenty of sleeping options, has the essentials in the kitchen, with lots of extras in the closets, and the wrap around deck, amazing views and plenty of places to sling a hammock made this truly an amazing experience. Easy check-in/out process and David is a great communicator and goes the distance in providing and explaining anything you may have questions about in the listing and other details after booking. Can’t wait to come back - thank you!!
