About this property
Mountain Cabin, Cozy Off-Grid Retreat near Westcliffe,CO!
Experience an off-grid vacation at Piñon Flats, a smoke-free, two-bedroom, one bath, full kitchen cabin/casita, sleeps 4 nestled in the beautiful Wet Mountains! You have the whole cabin and property to yourself! Relish the view of the 9,030' McKinley Mountain from the deck and 360° outdoor living areas. Kick back, relax and enjoy Lenticular cloud formations.
Walk the land the Ute Indians traveled for hunting and gathering to see Culturally Modified Trees used for marking routes and sun positions as verified by a local archaeologist. Walking tours personally guided upon request! We gratefully hold the responsibility of taking care of this land as those who came before us.
Lounge on the front deck for your morning coffee or relax to the beautiful sunsets. Watch mule deer graze and you may even see a Golden Eagle or Redtail Hawk soaring above as they search for their next meal. Gaze at the Milky Way, meteor showers and eclipses from the hammocks. Amateur or professional astronomers – this is a must see!
There are multiple outdoor sitting areas. Play horseshoes out back of the casita. Or if you feel like going for a hike, walk the 2-mile Durfee Circle to view the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Piñon Flats has a wide variety of wildflowers, cacti, Piñon, Ponderosa and Juniper trees.
Pinon Flats is off-grid with all electrical needs provided by the solar panels and batteries. When the sun is scarce, there is a back-up propane generator to insure all your electrical needs are met. Water is drawn from the well and wastewater is treated in an on-site septic system. Reliable Starlink Internet is available for work or zooming.
When your day of enjoying the outdoors is over, the casita’s fully stocked kitchen makes preparing any meal easy to refuel for your next day adventures. There is a refrigerator/freezer and gas stove/oven. Appliances include: coffee maker, pots, pans, crockpot, 3-burner propane grill (dishware and silverware, too.) All you need to bring is food! Lounge around in the warmth of the wood pellet stove (pellets provided) or propane heaters during winter months. Watch the smart TV, listen to music on the MP3/CD player, read or play board games and talk around the unique custom-made dining table. It even glows at night!
The bathroom has a hot water shower, sink and toilet. Towels, eco-friendly soap and shampoo/conditioner are provided.
The Mountain bedroom has a queen size bed and the License-plate room has 2 single beds. Mountain-aired blankets, sheets and pillows are provided for all beds.
The casita is smoke-free, so only vaping indoors is allowed. 420 friendly.
Extended-Stay is up to 29 consecutive nights.

About the host
Hosted by LeAnn and Doug Bair
Mountain living is the place to be for us who originally came from North Dakota and Ohio/Michigan/New Mexico. Our personal cabin is across the road at 1790 Durfee Circle. We spend our time improving our property by foresting beetle-killed trees and fire mitigation and creating new and improving existing outdoor living areas. We enjoy hiking, lounging on our decks and meeting our guests!
Why they chose this property
We used to love camping in the area, but campsites were consolidated and hard to find, so we bought a piece of land to camp on. One thing led to another, thus the casita short-term vacation rental busines!
What makes this property unique
Peaceful outdoor mountain living at 8,444' is rejuvenating and healing. It is great to be off the utility grid and using solar energy. Night skies are unbelievably peppered with stars and constellations; an astronomers delight! Panoramic mountain views are breathtaking while the lenticular clouds are fascinating! The quiet, stillness is unique to our urban guests. Outdoor activities include hiking on private property, viewing Culturally Modified Trees (CMT,) horseshoes, hammocks and cornhole.
