Welcome to Star Wrangler, our beautiful Wet Mountain retreat located on 35 acres of gorgeous, private Colorado mountain highlands in the Dark Skies corridor between Wetmore and Westcliffe! Nestled between San Isabel National Forest and Bureau of Land Management land, this property is both private and within easy reach of the many interesting things to do in the area.

Beautifully designed for comfort and recreation, Star Wrangler offers something for everyone. Mountain breezes, ceiling and floor fans keep the home cool during the summer months and radiant heat flooring, a wood burning stove and on-demand hot water keep it warm and toasty in the winter. Cozy up and read your favorite book under a heap of ruffled Belgian linen bedding or relax with a delicious glass of wine in a deep soaking tub with pink Himalayan bath salts in a mountain spa environment. Challenge your friends to an afternoon of badminton, corn hole or darts across our mountainside gathering spaces or join your youngest in a solid game of checkers or kid-sized pool in the Little Dipper, our mountain clubhouse for kids of all ages. Watch the sunrise and sunset on our flower-filled deck with a cappuccino or espresso from our in-house coffee suite snuggled up with your pup under a pile of colorful deck blankets. Need a little professional time to catch up? A simple, but beautiful rustic corner office with Star Link access is ready for you with magnificent views in our charming loft overlooking Lover’s Leap and within the warmth of a magically themed star retreat for the little ones. Need to maintain your strength…choose well, there is more than enough mountainside to keep you busy, but an integrated weight room with yoga mats, bike and free weights is waiting to cut to the last detail.
Ready to venture out? This beautiful home is perfectly located an hour and fifteen minutes from southern Colorado Springs and 15-40 minutes from so many wonderful adventures in Westcliffe, Florence, San Isabel and Pueblo. Discover the magic of one man’s dream at Bishop’s Castle, find the perfect vintage treasure as you antique through Florence, shop and nibble delightful treats on your way to a music festival, car show or trip to see the universe at the observatory in Westcliffe. Discover the best kept secrets of Victorian living at the gorgeous Rosemount museum on your way to ride the river boats through the Riverwalk in Pueblo. Head to the Pueblo mesa farm stands and fill your car with delicious seasonal fruits and vegetables to cook on the back grill. Catch your fill of fish on the beautiful Pueblo reservoir or charming mountain lake at San Isabel or hike and mountain bike the many historic trails of Beulah, Ophir Creek and St. Charles.
Create memories together cooking your local plunder in a fully stocked kitchen or grilling or smoking your feast on the back porch grill! Enjoy two outdoor dining areas at a picnic table on the deck or under the string lights of a covered patio.

The cabin and property are beautiful! The kitchen was well stocked, the deck was fabulous place to relax, eat, or take in the gorgeous surroundings, and the beds were quite comfy. It was a wonderful stay!
The Star Wrangler cabin is in a beautiful and private location! The cabin was very clean and had plenty of room for our family of six. We loved walking around the property and listening to all the birds singing. Thank you for a wonderful stay at your cabin!
This Cabin is an absolute must, pictures don’t do it justice the view is amazing! We’ll be back!

The property and surrounding area are really the stars of this rental. It's truly stunning, and the house is beautiful. The property manager was very nice and helpful (we needed him to come flip a breaker and to help us get into the house). He was great and gave us some recommendations for places to eat while staying there. Overall I'd recommend staying at the Star Wrangler.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to welcome you to our home. It was great to have you and I’m sorry that you needed help with getting in and the dishwasher. We were so sorry to hear of both and glad to be alerted that these items need attention after a busy season. This is really helpful to know.
So glad that overall you enjoyed yourselves and the area. Have a beautiful fall and please join us again.

My family (of 7) had a wonderful time at this location. Close to Bishops Castle, the Royal Gorge, and cute little towns. We spent time hanging out and hiking the property on our downtime. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to welcome you and your family and for the kind review. We loved having you and are so glad you enjoyed so many cool experiences around the area and hiking on our property. It was such a pleasure having you!
This property was absolutely stunning and very well stocked. Anything and everything we possibly needed was there. Our kiddos loved the themed loft area! The owners were wonderful as well as the property manager. We had such an amazing little family get away. Would absolutely recommend this VRBO and would definitely go back!
Such a lovely property to get away from the hustle and bustle without being too far from any necessities! Loved every minute of our stay and can't wait to come back in the spring!

We absolutely loved this property for our annual family vacation. The house was beautiful and fully stocked. The property was very well maintained. We look forward to visiting again!
We had a wonderful time here. The location was perfect. The property was spacious and well kept. Good communication with the property manager. The house was well stocked with all the appliances and cooking items needed. The deck was a joy to sit on each day. Made some hummingbird food and watched the hummers eat and fly around. The drive to Westcliffe and the surrounding area was nice and scenic. Thank you for having a wonderful place to stay at.
My husband and I loved our stay here! The location was perfect, the house was beautiful, the views were beautiful, and the amenities were great! Loved the coffee bar! Check in was easy and the property manager was so nice! It was great getaway from the Texas heat.

The cabin was comfortable and well- appointed. We enjoyed just hanging out at the cabin after some beautiful hiking trips nearby. You truly have a beautiful place. Paul was very helpful with tips and good restaurant recommendations. Star Wrangler is a wonderful place to get away and relax in style.
This was the coolest property I have ever stayed. The location is so private. Fenced area for dogs to run. Perfectly stocked. Property manager and owner were great. I don’t have a negative thing to stay. We love going to Westcliffe to hike and this property was an hour and ten from the Springs. If it’s available, we will return only to this property in the future. Thank you!

Took a quick weekend trip to Royal Gorge but wanted to stay away from any city. This was the perfect house for that. Beautiful views. The house was really clean and very comfortable. A lot of added touches to make our stay even better.

Thank you for the opportunity to welcome you all! We were so glad you could join us and love that you had a great trip to the Royal Gorge. Thank you for your inquiry on using the Big Dipper. We are really excited about completing the final steps to make our small event space available for gatherings, classes and small events in the 2024 season. Our restaurant in Colorado Springs will be ready to coordinate culinary packages and private chef experiences. We hope your fall is a beautiful one and thank you again for staying with us.

The Star Wrangler boasted incredibly views of the stars and just the right amount of peace and quiet we desired. We enjoyed each space in the house from the loft, home gym, and well equipped kitchen. Outside is equally equipped with several different seating areas, a patio and grill. The town of Westcliff is a gem of a mountain town. We enjoyed good drinks, food, shopping and conversation. Looking forward to a return visit.

Family getaway
We met our Son and his family for a summer getaway. The house and property had everything needed for ease and comfort. There was a corn hole game that we spent several hours playing. Lot's of laughter and family fun. The area of Westcliff is beautiful and a little off the beaten track.

A beautiful place to stay that is set in the cozy wet mountains. The house has everything you need for a wonderful stay. It is a 20 min drive to Westcliffe.
The host and property manager are very communicative with answers to any questions.
Also, the Starlink internet worked flawless the whole week.
A 5 star must stay if looking for a remote place near Westcliffe area.

Our family of 5 (kids ages 4,6,14) had the best week at this beautiful home! This was the most stocked house we’ve ever VRBO’d in. Anything you could think of that you may need-was there! Kids loved the kids areas, and playing corn-hole with us adults. The house set in the most beautiful mountain scape. About 15-20 minutes from town of Westcliffe. About 1-2 hours away from multiple local favorite attractions (Pikes Peak, Royal Gorge, National Sand Dunes..ect) Amy was so kind to stay with, and very quick to answer. The welcome gift was such a nice touch. Check in and out was a breeze, Paul- property manager, was there to meet us as soon as we arrived. Gave us a brief run down of everything then gave us our privacy. Also reached out to him mid-week for a recommendation of a local fishing spot, he answered promptly and we enjoyed the spot! Highly recommend this home to anyone coming to the area!

You created such a beautiful trip and we are honored that you chose Star Wrangler as your home base. We can’t wait to welcome you all again. Thank you for creating memories with us.
Best to you,

About the host
Your host
John and I were born and raised in beautiful Southern Colorado. We are so proud of this gorgeous area and have spent a lifetime in and out of the Wet Mountains, Sangre de Cristo mountains and Front Range of Colorado. We love to enjoy all parts of the experience that awaits you. Antiquing in Florence, heading to dinner in Westcliffe, checking in at Bishop's Castle, sitting under the aspens at San Isabel Lake, hiking St Charles Trail, exploring the River Walk and many historic museums and restaurants in Pueblo. You name it, this area is a hidden jewel and we are proud to call it our home.
We are so excited to share our home, Star Wrangler, with you. Being your host, means that we have the opportunity to think about what you would love before you arrive, anticipate what might delight you, learn from your comments on how to make things more beautiful and connect with you over your return visits. We hope to build memories with you and treasure the opportunity to enjoy this home and area together.
Welcome and thank you for being our guests.
Best to you,
John and Amy
Why they chose this property
Our arrival at this beautiful home came out of tragedy. Our historic cabin in Beulah, Colorado burned to the ground in April 2022. After much deliberation and heart break, we made the decision as a family to look for a new home rather than rebuild as the time frame for rebuilding was too difficult given our greater family circumstances.
Our greatest desire was to find a new mountain cabin in the Dark Skies area close to Westcliffe, Beulah and San Isabel that would also allow us to be close to Florence and Pueblo. What a find this beautiful home was! It had everything that we were looking for including a galaxy of stars above. It took us close to a year to work forward in creating the comfy retreat that we wanted to share and we hope that it is as much fun for you to stay in as it has been for us to fluff.
We are constantly delighted by the opportunity to be part of the Westcliffe and Silver Cliff community stretching our hand east to Wetmore and Pueblo, north to Florence and south to San Isabel and Rye. This is our beloved stomping grounds; the trails of our childhood and we love so much to get to continue to be part of it.
What makes this property unique
Our property is unique in that it is vastly private. It is a true Colorado enclave that asks you to sit and glory in the beauty of Mother Nature. You can truly connect to yourself in this area and appreciate the beauty day and night of what it means to be in a very pristine, untouched area of Colorado full of wildflowers, the occasional hummingbird and chipmunk and the sound of the wind shaking the aspen leaves or stirring the clouds through the stars overhead. This is a rare thing in a state that is becoming busier and busier. We treasure the peace and ask our guests to enjoy and preserve this little corner of paradise.
