"Perfect place to sit and enjoy the view"

"This was truly a gem! Our family stayed 3 nights and could not be happier. The house was clean, comfortable, and roomy. The kitchen is fully stocked, the beds are comfortable and the view from the back y cannot be beat. We loved watching the sunset and stars from there. This is a must stay if you can snag it! "

"This property was perfect for our family of four. It was cozy with warm blankets, comfortable beds, and comfortable seating. The views were unbelievable! We loved sitting on the front porch, reading a good book, and just taking in the majesty of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. The cabin is a short drive from town. We had a great time exploring the town of Westcliffe, - the shops and restaurants. Tony’s, Rocket Pizza, Wild Flour Donuts, Lux Chocolate, All the Range, A Little Worn and More, Sugar Lump Co., and Wet Mountain Treasures were some of our favorites. We even got to see a movie in the Historic Jones theatre! There were mule deer everywhere that loved posing for pictures, lol. It was a great overall visit that we hope to repeat again! "

"It was a nice and cozy cottage that suited my little dog and I. Very clean and had what you needed. I’m sure I’ll be back with my family next time. "

"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. "

"The stars were amazing out here! "

"This house was perfect for our family stay. We had 5 adults and lots of room to hang out. We wish we could have stayed longer. The house was fully stocked with all the necessary kitchen equipment to cook full meals, coffee supplies, and even a few snacks and drinks, left by the host. Loved the out door seating areas and the quietness of the neighborhood. The views were amazing from the 2 floor deck. The communication, check in and house instructions, with the host was through and easy. Would definitely recommend this property!!!!"

"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!"

"Amazing back yard for my dog! Well supplies kitchen and the beds were very comfortable."
