    The host communicated very effectively with us before , during and after the stay. We appreciated his “checking” in. We had not experienced that in other VRBO rentals.The house was a perfect solution for our family- big open living room, dining area and kitchen. Hot tub was a hit as well.And, beautiful views!

    We had such a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving in this space. There is beautiful natural light in the living room, beautiful views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, a cozy wood-burning stove, and lots of opportunities to stargaze in the hot tub at night. The kitchen is also incredibly well-stocked. We had everything we needed. Charley was so helpful and kind. Highly recommended!

    The property and its amenities far exceeded expectations. It was a pleasant surprise to find the kitchen stocked with basic goods, and condiments. The wood burning stove was perfect and worked flawlessly. It even had a fire laid in it ready to be lit upon our arrival. My only complaints would be the doors not closing properly and blowing open if not FIRMLY shut. The hot tub was missing one of the seats jets, and was set on 80 upon our arrival. My wife also could not get the jets in the bathroom tub to work. I would stay here again, and likely will.

    This place was one of our most favorite VRBO’s ever. Our son and his 2 friends, who live in Denver, ran the Sangre de Cristo 50 mile race and this was a perfect spot that wasn’t too far from the trailhead. The location is great and close to town and hiking in the mountains. The views are crazy beautiful and the backyard is a bonus space! The house had everything we needed and more. We will definitely be back!

    We were so impressed - the online pictures didn't convey the spaciousness of the open-concept living room/dining room/kitchen. The beds and linens were luxurious, the kitchen was extremely well-stocked, and the 'extras' were thoughtful and appreciated. The host was so kind to include a welcome gift that was so generous. But mostly the IMMEDIATE repsonse from the owner to our inquiry about replenishing the propane tank for the outdoor fire-pit was very helpful and almost unexpected to have that quick of a solution. Kudos in evey way and couldn't have had a better experience!

    This was a great place to meet family and enjoy the amazing Sangre de Cristo views and Westcliffe. The property was ideal for a getaway with my elderly parents and our dog. The 1-level home with an entryway ramp and master walk in shower with room for a seat were elder-friendly. The paved neighborhood streets with epic mountain views made for many enjoyable dog walks. The lush lawn and mature trees make this property an oasis in this neighborhood with plenty of space between homes. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and the living room with 3 reclining seats was very cozy for relaxing together. There was even a medium size wire kennel with blankets and a bowl for our dog. The king bed is softer than the 2 very firm queen beds. Plenty of pillows to choose from to meet your preference. The duvets are a nice touch of luxury. Would stay here again.

    The house was perfect for us. We loved sitting outside on the porch and viewing the wonderful handiwork of God. We visited with all the neighbors as they walked by. Very quiet neighborhood and the house was nicely furnished and VERY clean. We will return on our next visit to Westcliffe. Charley was an amazing host.

    The most relaxing, happy trip we have had in a long time! We stayed over July 4th to get our dogs away from fireworks in the city. Planned to do a lot of hiking. But Charley’s property is so wonderful we spent almost all of our time on site! Sitting in the beautiful yard, watching newly fledged mountain bluebirds. Looking at the incredible stars. Relaxing on the comfortable sofas. This property has everything we could have even imagined. It is not someone’s cabin they rent out once in a while. This is a beautifully done vacation property. We reserved another week before leaving. What a treasure!

Very easy online access through a Dack App that we used for the first time. Fast internet allows work access(though one ought not to work) and essy use of the smart tv. Exceeded our expectations in every way. Top of our long rist of VRBO rentals !!

    This house was exactly as advertised. The neighborhood is a little funky but this house with trees and green lawn was the best one there. The best thing about the house is the inside which was immaculate and very comfortable. The kitchen is well supplied and the owner even left us a pound of locally grass fed hamburger which was delicious. Internet tv was off and on but this is an outdoor place to go so who really cares about tv that much look at the stars instead Well worth the reasonable price
