Wrong address on VRBO caused much confusion, but once we found it, it was lovely! Cute home, but dated. Worn carpets and carpeted bathrooms were a negative, but the kitchen was very well appointed and most importantly, the beds were fabulous! The views and wildlife were wonderful 10.

We had a great time staying in this home. Absolutely stunning views, wildlife, and amazing stars at nights. The house was excellent and very well stocked where it was easy to prepare meals. Very convenient to Ridgway, Telluride, and Ouray. We very much appreciate the welcome folder with lots of details about the area, restaurants, and things to do.

Perfectly outfitted reflecting perfectlylocal history and adventures.

After nearly 2500 miles across country at 100 plus degree temperatures. This retreat exceeded all expectations. The views, the nature, the peace and tranquility, stars galore and all between the old west from John Wayne's yesteryear, and some of the most challenging off-road trails in Colorado leading to old gold and silver mines and abandoned ghost towns. The house is outfitted with everything you need, comfortable bedding, laundry and kitchen supplies. Kept clean and private, many thanks to Rick

Fully stocked kitchen, ready for any meal

Great place to stay!

Cielo Vista is everything the pictures show and more! The views are stunning! The house is clean and well stocked. We loved the views so much that we opted to spend dinners at the house rather than go into town. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to hopefully returning next year!

Awe Inspiring

The location is beyond exceptional. The cabin is better than the pictures. The views and wildlife were the stars of the stay. This cabin is close to many exploration options and only a handful of miles away from the town of Ridgeway. The property manager did call us after the 1st night asking us to observe the HOA’s quiet hours after 9pm. The entire family enjoyed the night skies on the deck until 11pm. We hadn’t seen many of the family members since December and were really enjoying catching up. We were laughing and singing together and unfortunately noise really travels in the mountains. We as a family made sure to take our late night conversations inside after 9 pm and it all worked out well.We truly thank the owners for sharing this amazing cabin. We can’t wait to come back.Just a side note, the driveway is very steep and there’s only room for 2 vehicles, 3 maximum.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Greene - neighbor/manager for owners

In 1983, we got married and moved to Montrose and that is when our love affair with Colorado began. I am from Edmond, Oklahoma and my husband is from Wayne, Nebraska and we both went to college in Dallas, Texas. So Colorado, with its majestic mountain ranges and cool summer nights were something totally different than either of us were used to. We lived in Montrose for five years, then moved to various locations around the country and are now back in Big D. But Colorado was always calling us to come back. In 2000, we built our cabin with Dusty's parents, Jack and Evie. For years, they spent every summer up there enjoying everything the area has to offer. We love our time in Ridgway, Colorado. We look forward to it every year and we hope you get a chance to experience Cielo Vista for yourself.

Why they chose this property

Cielo Vista is tucked into the side of the mountain overlooking The San Juan Mountain Range. This mountain getaway is the perfect retreat for one or a great place for a family vacation! At 9,000 feet it towers above the Aspen treed valley and is the perfect spot for catching a water colored sunset. If you like hiking, jeeping, fishing, swimming at the Ouray Hot Springs pool or just setting on the deck soaking up the sun, this could be the perfect place for you!
