"A cozy cabins set in a beautiful location. Cabin was clean, stocked with all the essentials. Host was great, easy check in. "

"This house was perfect for a girls weekend getaway! The place was clean, the beds very comfortable, and the kitchen was nicely stocked. Hot tub was great! A couple of notes for the host, the front door lock was really difficult to open and the wifi does not reliably reach the whole house so the living room smart TV did not really work. Would absolutely stay again!"

"What a cozy secluded cabin! It was very clean, communication was great, check-in was seamless, and it was probably the most well-stocked VRBO we've experienced!Also, although we didn't bring pets, it is very dog friendly with dog beds, bowls, toys, and even a dog run!Highly recommend!!"

"Perfect place to sit and enjoy the view"

"We had an incredible stay here with our family of four, along with a couple of friends who joined us. The home was spotless—truly felt like a 5-star hotel, but with the comfort and space of a private house. The views were absolutely stunning, and it’s easy to see why this area is known for its consistently beautiful weather—it made the whole experience even better.One of the highlights was how much there was to explore right from the property. Our kids loved adventuring in the huge open quarry up the road, hiking the private road to the secluded box canyon, and exploring the historic ghost town of Calcite on the property—such unique experiences.Inside, the home was just as thoughtfully set up. There were plenty of toys and games that kept our kids happily entertained, and the kitchen had everything we needed to comfortably prepare meals during our stay.We also took a trip into Salida and spent time at the riverside park, which was a great outing and an easy complement to all the exploring back at the house.If you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful place with plenty of outdoor adventure, this is it. We’d absolutely stay here again."

"We love this house. This was our second stay here … it’s cozy and comfortable and the hot tub and river are amazing. Thank you for letting us stay here!!!"

"The only reason that I didn't give them four stars is that there was so much light on the front of the building that you could not sit on the chairs and see any stars. I assumed that a place called dark skies would have lights that are motion sensored or more dim so that you could take in the night sky, so we walked about a block down the road to see the stars. Also, the floors are very thin and we could hear every footstep from the neighbors upstairs. The room itself was fine. Very clean and lots of windows. The bed was really hard, but some people like this. "

"Great house. Loved the river view and proximity to Salida and Monarch. The kids loved the upstairs space!"

"The pictures of the property do not do it justice. You have snow-capped mountain top views. Very private with no close neighbors. Were able to see some incredible starry night views with the telescope that is provided. Easy hike up to the Rainbow Trail. Home was spacious, and we had everything we needed. Pete, the owner, was very helpful when a small fire a couple of streets over caused a temporary evacuation. The location is about an hour from the Royal Gorge and less than two hours from Colorado Springs. Both drives are breathtaking and worth the trip. Loved Westcliffe. The town was friendly. Great shops, food, and art. Highly recommend grabbing a burger from Chappy's. Stop by the art store near the Natural Food Store. Michael Arterburn's ceramic work is so unique! His wife is super friendly and helpful, and can guide you to shops, restaurants, and other places to see. We loved our stay here!"
