Tranquil Retreat w/ private National Forrest access, pond & creek
Our beautiful private property overlooking the Wet Mountain Valley has a pond, year round Buttermilk creek that sounds lovely even in Winter. Our private access to the San Isabel National forest & the 90 mile Rainbow trail along the Sangre de Christo Mountains. Hunter paradise. Fall asleep to the sound of running water & sipping coffee in the gazebo by the pond. At night light the fire in the wood stove and while you are warm and see the flames dancing in our cozy house with wrap around deck and views into the wet mountain valley with many forests, meadows, trails, lakes to boat and fish. Or light a fire in our fire ring while watching the night sky. From the porch you can see passing by (specially early and at dusk) Elk, deer, turkey and hummingbirds that you can watch and admire.
The house has 1 bedroom with King bed. 1 bedroom with a Queen bed and a twin, one room with 1 Double and 1 single bed, and 1 single bed on the upper loft. A lovely brand new kitchen to cook and a wrap around porch and deck to enjoy views and the sound of the creek - Hiking - relaxing by the pond & creek - Hunting & Fishing - Wolf sanctuary in the valley - River rafting - Mountain biking - Excursions to Hot springs, skiing Art & Jazz Festivals, Sand Dunes - Dark Sky Sanctuary & observatory in Westcliffe
It is a wonderful quiet place with no one around, yet 15 min you can be in town and check out one of the local restaurants/coffee shops and fun gift stores. We are at the upper part of our property, we run a wildland fire fighting company and are building a Meditation Retreat Center in the Dominican Republic. You are welcome to visit with us, but we basically let our guests enjoy the place on their own, We hope you enjoy all the nature and Privacy. We also have some lovely animals on our ranch two really lovely dogs Great Pyrenees Shifu and Tiny, they are here to keep the bears away, and are amazing guard dogs that will look after you and may come on hikes with you. They are very friendly with people, though they may bark to keep bears and other predators away and love people. We have 2 outdoor cats Max and Moritz who keep the packrats away and are very friendly. We have one indoor cat that stays in our office shed when we have guests. Our horses Rusty and Marley love to roam the property and come by for some carrots. You may see some of our fire fighting trucks deploy from the top of the property to go save the land. Meanwhile in the summer month many humming birds will be visiting you when you are sitting on the porch relaxing in a rocking chair. Just think of having your own mountain abode tucked away mountain abode:)

Excellent home in beautiful location
This property was a great place for a weekend retreat in the mountains. Secluded but very comfortable and a modern kitchen, too. Big porch. The water even tasted normal, which is rare in mountain homes. We enjoyed exploring the nearby trails and the town of Westcliffe.

The property is amazing. The house is perfect for all ages and groups. We loved the area and privacy. The pond actually has fish and the kids loved it. Katarina was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had. The views from the front porch are beautiful. Very relaxing. We have been to the area numerous times.

Beautifully Secluded Cabin with Abundant Wildlife
Our family of four loved staying at this cabin for two weeks. Its private yet has good access to Westcliffe and all the adventures the Sangre de Cristo Range offers. Hike the Rainbow trail out the back door or drive to one of the many trials in the area. During our stay we visited Mission Wolf, The Great Sand Dunes, The Royal Gorge and climbed a 14er. We often saw turkey, deer and elk from the front porch. If you enjoy relaxation and connecting with nature this cabin is perfect!!

As Described, Loved Property and Its Location
Property was as described. Owners were very helpful. We stayed a week on vacation, and used this as a base for going to many attractions 1.5 hours or less from here. Would recommend it to others. Property was clean, fully stocked, had all items needed for a week's stay. Beautiful setting at base of mountains, overlooking farming valley below. We were concerned about 6 miles of gravel road because of much rain in the afternoons for the entire week, but it didn't end up being a problem for our passenger car.

A dream get away!
My family and I had a blast at Katrina's beautiful home in the mountains of Westcliffe, CO. The house is just cozy and lovely with views to die for. Everything you could need was in the house or on the property. Great fishing on the Arkansas River which is roughly 30 minutes away. Westcliffe is a small quaint town, kind of friendly people too but the best part was sitting on Katrina's property looking down a the small town lights of Westcliffe against the mountains.... beautiful!
I would highly recommend this property to whomever is looking for a quiet country get away with views to do for and peace you simply can't get enough of.

A slice of paradise!
This was our first time using VRBO and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the property and it’s owner, Katarina. The house was very well stocked which made it easy for us to prepare our own meals. The home is tucked away and secluded. The views are incredible and the creek that runs through the Iproperty brings a level of solitude and peace. Katarina was quick to respond to all questions which made me feel at ease. She has the home well stocked with brochures about the local area along with interesting books. It was so difficult to say goodbye but we will be back in 2020. If you’re on the fence about this property, don’t be. The property is on 40 acres and there are trails to walk. I can’t say enough about this slice of paradise in Westcliffe. Thank you, again, Katarina for making us welcome into your beautiful home!

Dear Barbara, thank you for coming, it is such a pleasure to share our place with others...it is to pretty to not to:) That is why down the road we want to turn it into a little retreat center down the road so people can relax and be in nature like that. Thank you for writing such a nice review and the time it takes to do that. Best wishes and if you come visit again perhaps we meet, sometimes I get to meet people as we try to spend as much time as possible up there!

Lovely mountain getaway
House just as pictured. Very comfortable. Hosts were friendly, welcomed us & explained how the thermostats worked. Kitchen cabinets are labeled for guest convenience.
Beautiful sunrise views from living room, relaxing sound of creek from deck (or house if open sliding doors), mountain hiking trails, (through beautiful fall colored Aspens) just out the back. Besides the host's sweet dogs, we were also visited by about 15 wild turkeys(1st night only), a few cotton tails, many native birds, and each time we drove out to the main road saw pronghorns (antelope), and a few times mule deer.
Loved the nearby towns of Westcliffe & Silvercliffe. Lots if restaurants, local coffee shops, & a fully stocked grocery store. We plan on visiting the area again.

Would not recommend staying here
The pictures are out dated ...when we arrived we were shocked to see that there is no upkeep to the property..the owners dogs were barking all night and all morning woke us up the 1st morning at 6am and the 2nd morning at 5am...they were right under our bedroom window barking when they got sprayed by a skunk and the strong smell came in to the room..tried grilling but everytime we went out the dogs were right there we couldn't enjoy sitting outside on the deck or porch because of the dogs...we also took our dog who is trained very well but couldn't let him out because their dog wanted to fight with him....we were really looking forward to a nice quiet relaxing vacation but that did not happen...the owner had to keep coming into the cabin to get to her work stuff , the pond was full of alage so we couldn't fish..no internt..these things were listed as things at the cabin. The owner was very nice but our stay was not...pictures need to be updated on the listing.

Beautiful property. Front porch faces the east, presenting you with a beautiful sunrise each morning. A small creek runs through the property a short distance down from the back porch, giving off a peaceful babbling water sound. The pond that the creek runs through has trout that you can see swimming around when the sun is high in the sky. Thank you Katarina and Reto for sharing your wonderful slice of heaven!!

Peaceful place
We loved staying at this property for the scenery - can’t beat the view and the peaceful water running in the stream. There was only one comfortable bed, so - sleeping felt a little more like camping instead of glamping. Kitchen was great for cooking - had everything we needed. Was a little disappointed that “Internet” meant that you can get your own cell service to access hotspot, but we managed to be more off grid than originally planned. Communication with owner was great and very timely! Glad we had a truck to get to the property instead of a sedan as the roads were a little rough for a small area into the property. This is ideal country living! Thanks for sharing.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Katarina Sky
We are lovers of the outdoors and animals...a forester from Switzerland who love our home and life in the Rocky Mountains of the Wild West. The great people and the amazing place here is something for everyone that we love to share with people from around the world. We are also Wild Land fire fighters and are very very busy during the Summer/fall fighting fires. We hope you enjoy all the nature and Privacy.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
The moment we saw this awesome slice of heaven, the forrest, the beauty and views, meadows, fireflies, our pond and stream ... and a 500,000 acre + "backyard" called Sangre de Christo mountain range and San Isabel Forest. How can one resist that???
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
To have the feeling of a mountain ranch retreat where you may not want to leave, you can go straight in the National Forrest to Rainbow trail through our back gate for hiking, in Winter close to skiing and lots of snowshoeing. (we have 2 pairs for guests) We have dogs, cats, horses and chicken to also have our guests enjoy being around animals, we will reduce your fees if you help feed :) And have fresh eggs when available. The elk , turkey and deer may come around, early in the morning and at dusk, or you like to sit and rad a book by the pond and listen to the the creek spilling over the rocks.
Be in your mountain adventure while you can take outings to hot springs, breweries, mountain trails and peaks, white water rafting, hunting, fishing or go visit the wolf sanctuary to see those magnificent animals up close.
Hop into the local town for a cold beer and good food., a open sky Shakespeare performance, Rodeo, Wolf Sanctuary, Westcliffe's own Observatory, river rafting or skiing and snowshoeing along the beautiful trails and near by ski area of Mammoth that is not very crowded.
