Blue Elk is an excellent stay. Vrbo and especially Tracy, the host, were helpful in making reservations and preparation. The site has all the appliances and supplies of home in good working order. The location is breathtaking. We loved the wildlife (although watch out on the road!) and (mostly) quiet, cool weather in late July, but warm blankets too. A great time had by all.

Beautiful home and views. Fantastic hosts
The property was on a great vantage point overlooking the valley and had a very claer view of the entire night sky in all directions for excellent stargazing.
With the low humidity and elevation the night sky was among the best I've ever seen in the entire US. Easily a top 3 pick while still being very close to modern conveniences such as a grocery store and pharmecy.

Great house with amazing views
This is a very special property. First of all, it was super clean, with plenty of towels and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and everything you need. Second, it was one of the most quiet places I’ve been in a long time and the stars were so plentiful. The setting is very dramatic with sweeping views of the mountains in the distance. Tracy, the host, was super easy to communicate with and very responsive. Such an interesting and comfortable place to spend some time. Highly highly recommend. Thank you Tracy!

Relaxing getaway
With so much to do within any direction this house was a perfect fit for us. There are restaurant options and a small grocery store in town, most places close at 8. I do wish that the bedroom upstairs had blinds/tint or something on the skylights. If you want to sleep in, that isn’t the room for you, it also gets pretty warm up there compared to the rest of the house. We got to watch deer daily in the morning and evenings and it was an very quiet area. The house was well stocked with all necessities and check in/out was a breeze!

As Advertised...and more!
From the posting to the reviews - on Vrbo and in the living room Guestbook - this stay was what we had searched for. It was interesting staying in an A-frame. There was a family of deer just beyond the patio. The pantry and fridge stock was a pleasant surprise. The main street was better than any we saw the whole way up from ATX. And how fun that Westcliffe is also the 9th International Dark Sky City! We loved learning all about and using the telescope. The book even had tips to increase one's "night vision." We also loved how close it was to the trailheads and that while we didnt have much snow on the property, we went 15min down the road to the trailheads and enjoyed being on the mountains you see from the property and sledding! Overall though, it was my 9yo boy saying "this is my favorite rental so far. Let's do this one again." And after just 1 night.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Tracy Gullet
My Husband and I purchased the Blue Elk in July of 2019. We stumbled upon the town of Westcliffe, CO , and fell in love. Westcliffe is at the base of the Sangre De Cristo Mountain Range to the West and The Wet Mountains to the East. This little town with galleries, coffee shops, shopping and a grocery is special. We are Blessed to have found this gem of a town and this awesome property. Year round access, and excellent location !
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
The minute we pulled up in the driveway of this property, we knew we had found our mountain home. The views are absolutely amazing. The Sangre's and Wet Mountain Valley are literally in your back yard!
The home is light and airy, and perfect for relaxation and tranquility, yet close to town. Easy access and a well maintained and immaculate home, this property is by far the best we have seen in Southern Colorado.
