Vacation/Hunters' Cabin near Westcliffe in the beautiful Wet Mts!

This cabin is in the beautiful surroundings of the wet mountains. This is a dark sky community and the number of stars seen at night is amazing! We saw many shooting stars, the Milky Way, and various constellations. We rented ATVs in Westcliffe, visited the nearby attractions of Angel of Shavanno, Hermit Pass, and Music Pass. There is horseback riding available in the area as well. The cabin was well furnished and was clean, comfortable, and brand new. We loved the dining room table along with the other furnishings and had no access to internet, cable, or cell phone service. This cabin is about enjoying nature, the outdoors and family. I loved the glow in the dark stones LeAnn and Doug have in the rock bed near the stairs and at no time did we feel afraid of animals such as bears or mountain lions. The only animals we encountered were mule dear and one friendly yellow lab. We enjoyed sitting on the rocks on LeAnn and Doug's property at sunset and the sunrise on McKinley mountain was beautiful. We enjoyed making our own meals and barbequing on the porch. We hope to return for a peaceful visit in the near future. Our only regret is we did not spend even more time relaxing on the deck, hiking on the property, and just enjoying the serenity of the cabin.

Doug and LeAnn have a new and delightful casita in a quiet, wild-life filled valley. The layout and arrangements of the home are superb; everything was exactly as described. The kitchen is adequately equipped for meal preparation and with the new propane grill on the porch we ate well!

Westcliffe is about 30 minutes away and provides a good grocery, a couple of good restaurants, and usually some good activities. We were able to make day trips for white-water rafting, horse-back riding, hiking in the Sangre de Christo mountains, and day trips to the Sand Dunes and to Gunnison.

The casita provided us with a quiet and comfortable place to come home to. On clear nights we were treated with unbelievable star-gazing, not to mention the wonder of cool air moving through the pines! We commend Doug and LeAnn on their fine cabin and their personal attention to their guests. Well done--and we will be back!

This was a great place for us as a family. Getting "off the grid" was wonderful. Our family planned events during the day and enjoyed coming back to relax in peace. There is horseback riding at Bear Basin Ranch which is located on the way to this property. Westcliffe/Silver Cliff has everything you need, when you come off the mountain. We got our groceries, beverages, gas, cool t-shirts, ice cream and even found great pizza at Tony's Mountain Pizza. A tour of Bishop's Castle was quite eventful and the info from the locals only added to the mystique; not to mention Mr. Bishop himself. We ventured North along CO 69, to US 50 to CO 9 to Guffey Gorge to swim. Quite the adrenaline rush! On our way back, we stopped at The Bull Moose restaurant in Guffey and enjoyed the food and the karaoke entertainment. A trip into Pueblo was rewarded with some graffiti around the city and delicious food at the Shamrock Brewing Co. Once back from the day's adventure, sitting outside talking, relaxing and barbequing was great. Some competitive games of horse shoes was a welcome event compared to using a cell phone or computer. Playing some games at the kitchen table, after all sunlight was gone outside, added another layer of family fun. The trip in to the airport allowed us the opportunity to go to the Denver Botanic Gardens. Beautiful during the day and even better in the evening with all the lights. Topping things off, the owners were so nice and accommodating. I highly recommend a stay here and plan on returning some time in the future.

This place is amazing! Strongly recommend it. So cozy and homie, and the view is impeccable.

Cabin was nicely decorated and the kitchen table glows in the dark...whaaa?? I love this cabin!
