Experience the natural beauty of the vast meadows and panoramic views of the Sangre de Cristos and Wet Mountains. Our open and airy mountain getaway is located two hours and 45 minutes from Denver. Unwind at this rural and tranquil retreat just 15 minutes outside of historic Westcliffe, CO one of the most scenic and charming mountains towns in the West. Experience the Alpenglow at sunrise, stunning sunsets, and unparalleled stargazing under the world's highest elevation International Dark Skies.

Alpenglow - an atmospheric optical phenomenon which makes mountains appear to glow in a light pink or red hue. It occurs just after the sun sets or just before it rises. This is one of the most majestic sights to experience. The alpenglow over the Sangre de Cristo’s is specular! Sangre de Cristo is Spanish for “Blood of Christ” and are the southernmost subrange of the Rocky Mountains. The name of the mountains may refer to the reddish hues observed during sunrise and sunset, and when alpenglow occurs, especially when the mountains are covered in snow.

Other things to note:
Newly installed split units offer air conditioning! Not always needed at this elevation, but it is a welcomed luxury when the temperature rises.

    Spectacular! Breathtaking views, idyllic setting and the house does not disappoint. Kitchen has everything you’ll need, bathrooms were fully stocked, and the bedrooms are so cozy. The property owners were quick to respond when we had a small question. Would definitely return as well as highly recommend!

    We had a fantastic stay for my wife's birthday here! She is vegan, so we came planning to cook all our meals and was relieved to find the kitchen had some of those items you don't think to bring along (olive oil, condiments, etc) - but we also received fantastic communication from our host Kristen, who made sure we knew about the local grocery stores and their hours if needed. The property itself is gorgeous and not too close to the neighbors, and my wife especially loved the fireplace. Overall, just a 10/10 experience, no complaints, and we would certainly consider coming to stay again sometime!

    We were here for our son’s wedding at Three Peaks Ranch. Proximity to the venue was great and the home was well furnished and comfortable. The privacy was nice and we had about 15 deer right outside on different occasions. It was fun watching the prairie dogs play as well. We highly recommend this retreat.
