'The Hideaway' - Tucked in the Beautiful Wet Mountain Valley.

We had so much fun with the snow, the beautiful views and the house. Everything we could need was there, it really made us feel like we were home.

The first thing you need to know, is that you are renting from the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They will do anything they can to help make your stay pleasant. We inadvertently left our jackets and they mailed them to us. West Cliff is known for its dark skies Which allow viewing of the Milky Way galaxy reportedly better than almost anyone else in the country. We had cloud cover so we weren’t able to enjoy it but we plan to go back when the skies clear. This property is an absolute bargain. It has everything you possibly want, it has one room that surrounds the fireplace stove if you want to sit, relax, read, knit, or visit. Another room is aTV and DVD room. The beds, one upstairs and one on the main level, are wonderful! The kitchen has everything you could possibly want and then some. This is the first property in many years that we have seen that has a garage AND LETS YOU USE IT! You do need to be aware that there is internet and email but there may not be cell phone and text, depending on your phone and carrier. If this is the case for you let folks know that your contact with them will be email and they can contact you via the home landline. We found it nice to not have the irritation of unnecessary cell calls. Remember, this is relaxation and getting away from the rat race. You are about a 45 minute round trip from Westcliffe so you want to get everything you need in one trip from the grocery store (amazing to me that this little town store had great prices). This is Heaven and you deserve to stay there.

Cabin is secluded but easily accessible. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hideaway. The only problem I had was having to come back to reality at checkout time. Saw several deer and a few turkeys in the yard. Would definitely consider going back to the hideaway in the future.

I wanted to visit this area for years. It finally worked out. I spent two weeks at the cabin and could not have wished for anything more. If you love the outdoors. There are many great places to go for walks or use atv trails. The wet mountains have much to offer for the outdoor enthusiast.

Hideaway was a great basecamp to find our roots. We had various wildlife that liked to look in the windows to see what was going on. The sunrise over the hills was breathtaking.

I highly recommend Hideaway if you want to get away from it all!
