Tranquil Retreat w/ private National Forrest access, pond & creek

Property was as described. Owners were very helpful. We stayed a week on vacation, and used this as a base for going to many attractions 1.5 hours or less from here. Would recommend it to others. Property was clean, fully stocked, had all items needed for a week's stay. Beautiful setting at base of mountains, overlooking farming valley below. We were concerned about 6 miles of gravel road because of much rain in the afternoons for the entire week, but it didn't end up being a problem for our passenger car.

The property was actually better than what was put forth to me on VRBO when searching! The house very comfortable with everything needed for great stay. The hosts were fantastic and we all enjoyed our interactions with them. What a truly interesting couple. As added bonus loved their doggies!

House just as pictured. Very comfortable. Hosts were friendly, welcomed us & explained how the thermostats worked. Kitchen cabinets are labeled for guest convenience. Beautiful sunrise views from living room, relaxing sound of creek from deck (or house if open sliding doors), mountain hiking trails, (through beautiful fall colored Aspens) just out the back. Besides the host's sweet dogs, we were also visited by about 15 wild turkeys(1st night only), a few cotton tails, many native birds, and each time we drove out to the main road saw pronghorns (antelope), and a few times mule deer. Loved the nearby towns of Westcliffe & Silvercliffe. Lots if restaurants, local coffee shops, & a fully stocked grocery store. We plan on visiting the area again.

Fantastic, Mountaineer beautiful dogs love the woods

The pictures are out dated ...when we arrived we were shocked to see that there is no upkeep to the property..the owners dogs were barking all night and all morning woke us up the 1st morning at 6am and the 2nd morning at 5am...they were right under our bedroom window barking when they got sprayed by a skunk and the strong smell came in to the room..tried grilling but everytime we went out the dogs were right there we couldn't enjoy sitting outside on the deck or porch because of the dogs...we also took our dog who is trained very well but couldn't let him out because their dog wanted to fight with him....we were really looking forward to a nice quiet relaxing vacation but that did not happen...the owner had to keep coming into the cabin to get to her work stuff , the pond was full of alage so we couldn't fish..no internt..these things were listed as things at the cabin. The owner was very nice but our stay was not...pictures need to be updated on the listing.

Excellent place to get away and unplug. Loved seeing the sun rise and set over the mountain range. Plenty of room for kids to run around, jump on trampoline, and just walk around the property. Easy access to the national forest. Definitely recommended.

My family and I had a blast at Katrina's beautiful home in the mountains of Westcliffe, CO. The house is just cozy and lovely with views to die for. Everything you could need was in the house or on the property. Great fishing on the Arkansas River which is roughly 30 minutes away. Westcliffe is a small quaint town, kind of friendly people too but the best part was sitting on Katrina's property looking down a the small town lights of Westcliffe against the mountains.... beautiful! I would highly recommend this property to whomever is looking for a quiet country get away with views to do for and peace you simply can't get enough of.

Beautiful property. Front porch faces the east, presenting you with a beautiful sunrise each morning. A small creek runs through the property a short distance down from the back porch, giving off a peaceful babbling water sound. The pond that the creek runs through has trout that you can see swimming around when the sun is high in the sky. Thank you Katarina and Reto for sharing your wonderful slice of heaven!!

We were looking for seclusion and found it in this beautiful mountain hideaway. Communication with Katerina was very good and we enjoyed meeting her along with her dogs Tiny and Martin. Great views, great star gazing and great memories. Thank you for letting us share your wonderful home.

We had a great stay, our host Cat was wonderful and very sweet... The kitchen was very well stocked ,the house is very comfortable (home away from home)... The 2 dogs of Martin and Tiny are loves. We will be back.
