Renee and Matt went above and beyond in terms of their welcome to us. The property itself was lovely with several outdoor seating areas- in addition to the roofed gazebo and the patio (both with propane powered fire pits should it get chilly) there were also intimate spots here and there with comfy chairs to sit in and enjoy a different aspect of the wooded landscape. Does with their fawns showed up literally every day to munch grass and sometimes nap. Altogether it was an absolutely charming stay.

I stay at a lot of VRBO homes and this was among the best. Clean (spotless), cozy, excellent private location, close to the Sangre de Cristo trails. The host is invested in making sure you have a great stay and feel welcomed as a special guest, which is not always the case. A relaxing, perfect home base for travels in the area. I would stay again without hesitation.

My wife and I had a great stay. The attention to detail and care put into the property is obvious. Location is just far enough outside of town to feel secluded but not so far as to be a laborious drive. We are looking forward to a return visit.

Felt like home

This lovely cabin immediately felt like home. The small touches and gracious welcome from Renee were just amazing. Comfortable beds and beautiful surroundings make you relax right away. There are also several outdoor areas to relax in. This is a must stay place if you are in Westcliffe.

Fabulous Cottage in the Woods

Blue Pine Haven is one of the most peaceful places one can imagine. It is set in a beautiful area just a short drive from Westcliffe. It met every one of our hopes and we had a wonderful stay. I 100% recommend it and you will find Renee to be gracious, welcoming, and kind. Enjoy Westcliffe!

Fantastic getaway for quiet retreat

Blue Pine Haven is a lovely and restful getaway nestled in the hills and trees above Westcliffe, CO. Renee is an exceptional host and we enjoyed our time there. The cabin is well situated, clean, and comfortable. We sat out in the covered gazebo in the warm afternoons and took advantage of sunlight on the patio. The cabin is well equipped as noted and we gladly recommend it highly!

Just a wonderful one of a kind mountain getaway!

The directions on the website were very accurate! The hostess was there waiting for us and showed us around. Our trip was cut short due to a family emergency but we'll be back again to finish what we started. We can't thank our hostess enough for everything she provided!

House was great but not as great as the host who was there for anything I needed. I relaxed and enjoyed the stay and wish I didn’t have to leave. This was the best experience of all my visits to Westcliffe and would like to reserve the house again soon.

Great mountain getaway

Great experience at the property. My wife and I live in the Mountains and try to get away to other small mountain towns a few times a year and we’re gifted this one. Cozy little place. Renee was a great host. Very accommodating. Communication was very prompt. We’ll recommend this spot to others. We will be back!

Amazing Property & Host!

If you're looking to get away from it all and have a first-class experience with your loved one(s), this property and host cannot be beat. The photos do not do the cabin justice, it is SO MUCH NICER! Our host not only helped my wife & I celebrate our 40th anniversary with an impeccable property, but also provided very thoughtful gifts. Stargazing was amazing, giving credence to the location's Dark Sky designation; we have never seen so many stars (and meteors!) in our life! We will definitely be back!

Quiet and peaceful mountain retreat

This wooded property in the Wet Mountains was everything it was advertised to be. We appreciated the comforts of the cabin which was beautifully equipped with all the amenities we needed. The kitchen had full-sized appliances, and the shower was spacious and wonderful. We appreciated the quiet and the convenience of being minutes from Westcliffe and our favorite cycling roads in the Wet Mountain Valley. This was a great place to celebrate our 48th wedding anniversary, and, knowing that, our hosts had left special touches and snacks.

Birthday get away

Special touches, great communication and a clean, relaxing atmosphere. Deer friends visited, thry were beautiful. Have your coffee outside to hear all the amazing song birds. Cant wait to go back again. Thank you for making a special occasion even more spectacular.

Renee is such an amazing host. She stayed in contact with us and even closer to our arrival. Gave us many recommendations on things to do around the area. She was very quick to answer any questions we had. The cabin was very warm and welcoming. We loved that we were able to relax indoors and outdoors. We didn't get around to relaxing by the outdoor fireplace at night because the time change had us very tired at night. We plan to visit again because the area is so quiet and great for stargazing. The moon kind of was in the way, but at 5am in the morning you can see so many stars. Thank you so much Renee for sharing your home with us. We will be back!Missy and Chris

1st Class Stay

Our 1st Class experience started well before arriving to this beautifully relaxing property! The Host reached out with things to do in the area which allowed us to double our plans, making for a much more enjoyable trip! We wanted to be away from Colorado Springs, but still easily drivable so we could do the Cog Train and Garden of the Gods (G.O.G. added after seeing Renee's site seeing options). We also added the Royal Gorge and Train with Renee's helpful list! The cottage is well documented by the pics on the site. What isn't documented is everything else around that makes this a 1st Class Experience - massage chair feels outstanding, outside fire pit is very relaxing with bonus of deer visits, beautiful and quite environment + everything you need is there! Great 3-night experience!

Beautiful and relaxing

My partner and I's stay at Blue Pine Haven was phenomenal! The property was exactly as described. We wanted to get away from our busy lives at home to reconnect with each other and nature, and this property did not disappoint. The cottage, as well as the property surrounding it, was peaceful, relaxing, and luxurious. The outdoor patio was perfect for great conversation and stargazing. Renee's communication was top-notch, making us feel like we were old friends coming to visit. She inquired about our preferences and needs prior to arrival, kept us informed about the weather conditions, gave us numerous tips for local activities to enjoy, as well as notified us when the deer arrived on the property so we could witness their beauty. I really can't say enough about our stay here. It was exactly what we were looking for, and Renee was a superior host. If we are able to revisit this area of Colorado, we will definitely stay at Blue Pine Haven!

Peaceful. Mountain. Luxury.

From the initial booking until check out, the host, Renee, was so very accommodating and communicative! The service was personalized and warm, yet our privacy was maintained throughout, making the stay truly relaxing and unique. The cottage is spacious and spares no amenities, feeling more like a private resort than a rustic cabin, yet the cozy, down to earth, natural atmosphere we were craving was still present in spades. Warm accent lighting bathes the open concept kitchen/great room at night while radiant sunlight, and a few local deer, peek through the windows during the day. Regretfully, we only had time to experience a few of the ultra comfy areas around the property to sit and enjoy the breathtaking pines, cool mountain air, and beautiful birdsong that accompanied the relaxing wind chimes on the porch. Next time!Inside we cooked delicious meals in the modern and well stocked kitchen, felt pampered by the spa-like bathroom and massage chair/relaxation room and slept soundly in the two luxuriously made up beds. The secluded property is located at the end of a quant tree lined road, neighbors being far enough away for privacy but close enough that one does not feel anxiously off the grid. It was quite nice to be a short drive from town for shopping and dining. We are looking forward to staying at Blue Pine Haven again!!!
