About the host

My Husband and I purchased the Blue Elk in July of 2019. We stumbled upon the town of Westcliffe, CO , and fell in love. Westcliffe is at the base of the Sangre De Cristo Mountain Range to the West and The Wet Mountains to the East. This little town with galleries, coffee shops, shopping and a grocery is special. We are Blessed to have found this gem of a town and this awesome property.
Year round access, and excellent location !

Why they chose this property
The minute we pulled up in the driveway of this property, we knew we had found our mountain home. The views are absolutely amazing. The Sangre's and Wet Mountain Valley are literally in your back yard!
The home is light and airy, and perfect for relaxation and tranquility, yet close to town.
Easy access and a well maintained and immaculate home, this property is by far the best we have seen in Southern Colorado.
