About this property

70 Acre Wild Horse Mesa Retreat

Ancient herds of wild horses roam this 70 acre property which sits atop the mesa at just under 9,000 feet. Soak in stunning 360 views of sunrise over the Sangre de Cristo mountains, sunset over Mammoth Mountain & the San Luis Valley and the majestic Mount Blanca to the north.

The cabin is the best combination of rustic and modern. On the electric grid so no worries about power. Gorgeous cook's kitchen with gas range and all the amenities.

**Upgraded to Starlink Internet!

The cabin was well stocked with so many kitchen basics it made it easy to cook. There were all the pots, pans, dishes, utensils along with condiments and spices! The beds were all very comfortable. We all slept the best we have in weeks. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. They don’t have any crazy asks or check in/ out requirements. Very per friendly even though we left our dogs at home. I’d bring them with next time.

Beautiful, Secluded Cabin & Wild Horses!

Myself, my spouse, her brother and his wife enjoyed three quiet nights and days at Wild Horse Mesa. Easy self check-in. The cabin was big with plenty of space for everyone. We enjoyed cooking in the well appointed kitchen and relaxing on the large covered porch. The wild horses visited for several hours on two of the mornings. Just beautiful, especially with the view of the mountains behind them.Angela and David were excellent hosts, very friendly and knowledgeable, quick to help and great communication.So happy with our peaceful and relaxing stay.

Fantastic Home!

We had a great getaway at this home! We were looking for a relaxing stay in southern Colorado for our family of three and two dogs. The house was so comfortable and welcoming. The second floor had beautiful views and a great space for gathering and relaxing. The property was amazing - we loved the yard and there were lots of trails on the property to explore. The welcome book included a scavenger hunt with a "gnome village" that we visited a few times during our stay. The neighborhood is very quiet and we enjoyed long walks on dirt roads with beautiful views and a few sightings of the wild horse herd. The house was within an hour of the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument. We loved our stay here and plan to return again!

About the host

Host profile image
Angela and David live in Northern Colorado and love spending as much time as possible here on The Mesa!

Why they chose this property

We relish in the solitude and splendor of being at 9,000 feet, surrounded on all sides by spectacular views. We love hiking the property, following critter tracks and discovering new beauty every time. We have a few special spaces we have cultivated but, for the most part, the land is unmolested.

What makes this property unique

There are no other vacation rentals in the area that offer the perfect combination of rustic and comfort. Our guests say we've thought of everything!
