I loved our stay here, it was beautiful every morning to look out of the window and the place was just as described. We felt right at home. My toddler had the most fun upstairs as there is a kids area to play with so many toys and a tent. We will definitely be back to Cielo Vista with more family!

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was immaculate and was stocked with everything we needed for cooking and cleaning. With all the pans we needed even a mixer. Everything worked perfect it was great. They’re even deer that walked right into the yard in the morning and the kids thought that was awesome.

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.

Breathtaking Views and Peaceful Mountain Escape!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The Mountain View was absolutely breathtaking — one of the best we’ve ever seen. The house was spotless, very well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We loved watching deer pass through the property, adding to the peaceful, nature-filled atmosphere. The location was perfect, close to everything we wanted to explore. Highly recommend this gem of a getaway!

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 enjoyed the fire pit and sitting on the deck looking at the mountains! We would definitely stay again. It is slightly remote so keep that in mind. Loved the loft!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Rick Greene - neighbor/manager for owners

Host profile image

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!
