UNIQUE OPTIONS- To make your getaway to BPH truly unforgettable, consider experience options to enhance your stay. Inquire with the host to learn more on in-cottage licensed massage therapy sessions and professional floral arrangements upon arrival for special occasions.
PETS- Host is an asthmatic that has life threatening anaphylaxis and is unable to host animals. Animal hair, dander, feathers, saliva, and urine poses a life threatening condition well after an animal departs the premise since they can exist in the interior fabrics, bathroom and kitchen towels, sauna robes, bedding, pillows, carpet, drapes, and furniture. While the entire home is yours during your stay, this is a residence that the hosts return to after guest departure that will cause a severe health risk and threat. Although the host is equipped with an epipen, this is a rural area with limited emergency services that would be necessary to treat anaphylaxis. This life-threatening health condition is on record. Beyond this medical condition, there are safety hazards for pets with the stairs and fireplace.
.
LICENSE- We are approved to legally operate the Blue Pine Haven STR in Custer County. We hold an active STR License #2021-8 and comply with all rules required by the permitting office.
SAFETY- BPH is equipped with a Generac generator, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors/alarms, cell phone booster, perimeter security cameras, first aid kit, and a fire escape ladder.
DRIVING CONDITIONS - In winter, a 4WD or AWD vehicle are a must to navigate the mountain terrain for guest safety. Colorado also enforces traction laws: See www.codot.gov/travel/winter-driving/tractionlaw
Was an amazing stay
Every detail was perfect. Beautiful property and thoughtful host. We will be back.
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!
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!
Would give more than 5 stars if i could! Beautiful cabin, wonderful small town with all amenities. Hosts are over the top incredible. 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.
From the time we came down the driveway until we had to leave, everything could not be any better. We experienced perfection at its best. All the instructions that Renee left were perfect. The cabin was beautiful and in great condition. OK......This has to be on your bucket list, The massage chair. My wife is oriental and understands most of what Renee has in her cabin. We both spent time relaxing in this room. The room is equipped with exactly what you need. Please read everything carefully and take care of it. You will never experience this again. The outside entertainment areas we perfect. By the way, the Resident guest will visit you, and yes, they want their chins rubbed. Be nice to them, and they will visit you daily. You talk about quiet. We have heard from or seen no one for five days. I had just retired, and this week was fantastic. There are so many areas you can visit while you are there. Renee can help with your questions, and there are information items in the cabin that you can read. There is no doubt that you will love the sites, and remember, be adventurous. Renee, thank you very much for a great time. We enjoyed ourselves and appreciated the cozy hideaway you have. Mike and Kim.
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!
My wife and I had a great stay and couldn't be happier with our stay. Such a warm and cozy cottage. Felt relaxed and recharged for 2023 after our stay.
We had a wonderful stay at Blue Pine Haven. The cottage was immaculate, well furnished and stocked, and beautiful. Such a relaxing place to disconnect and unwind. We especially enjoyed the abundant wildlife that we shared the woods with. Renee helped to provide us a memorable experience. She was a great host. Can’t wait to get back!
Couldn't ask for a better secluded mountain experience. Plus, best host experience ever.
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.
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!
