Ancient herds of wild horses roam this 70 acre property which sits atop the mesa at just under 9,000 feet. Soak in stunning 360 views of sunrise over the Sangre de Cristo mountains, sunset over Mammoth Mountain & the San Luis Valley and the majestic Mount Blanca to the north.
The cabin is the best combination of rustic and modern. On the electric grid so no worries about power. Gorgeous cook's kitchen with gas range and all the amenities.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for leaving our place in such great condidition!
The place was clean, well equipped, had lots of fun things to do and very welcoming. It was a great getaway to find some peace of mind and spend family time off the grid. I would recommend this for anyone 10 thumbs up Amanda was a fabulous host and communicated very well.
Myself, my spouse, her brother and his wife enjoyed three quiet nights and days at Wild Horse Mesa. Easy self check-in. The cabin was big with plenty of space for everyone. We enjoyed cooking in the well appointed kitchen and relaxing on the large covered porch. The wild horses visited for several hours on two of the mornings. Just beautiful, especially with the view of the mountains behind them.Angela and David were excellent hosts, very friendly and knowledgeable, quick to help and great communication.So happy with our peaceful and relaxing stay.
We had a great getaway at this home! We were looking for a relaxing stay in southern Colorado for our family of three and two dogs. The house was so comfortable and welcoming. The second floor had beautiful views and a great space for gathering and relaxing. The property was amazing - we loved the yard and there were lots of trails on the property to explore. The welcome book included a scavenger hunt with a "gnome village" that we visited a few times during our stay. The neighborhood is very quiet and we enjoyed long walks on dirt roads with beautiful views and a few sightings of the wild horse herd. The house was within an hour of the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument. We loved our stay here and plan to return again!

Angela and David live in Northern Colorado and love spending as much time as possible here on The Mesa!
Why they chose this property
We relish in the solitude and splendor of being at 9,000 feet, surrounded on all sides by spectacular views. We love hiking the property, following critter tracks and discovering new beauty every time. We have a few special spaces we have cultivated but, for the most part, the land is unmolested.
