We also have some lovely animals on our ranch two really lovely dogs Great Pyrenees Shifu and Tiny, they are here to keep the bears away, and are amazing guard dogs that will look after you and may come on hikes with you. They are very friendly with people, though they may bark to keep bears and other predators away and love people. We have 2 outdoor cats Max and Moritz who keep the packrats away and are very friendly. We have one indoor cat that stays in our office shed when we have guests. Our horses Rusty and Marley love to roam the property and come by for some carrots. You may see some of our fire fighting trucks deploy from the top of the property to go save the land.

During our stay we visited Mission Wolf, The Great Sand Dunes, The Royal Gorge and climbed a 14er. We often saw turkey, deer and elk from the front porch.

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. ##### Larry D.

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. ##### Brian F.

This was our first time using VRBO and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the property and it’s owner, Katarina. The house was very well stocked which made it easy for us to prepare our own meals. The home is tucked away and secluded. The views are incredible and the creek that runs through the Iproperty brings a level of solitude and peace. Katarina was quick to respond to all questions which made me feel at ease. She has the home well stocked with brochures about the local area along with interesting books. It was so difficult to say goodbye but we will be back in 2020\. If you’re on the fence about this property, don’t be. The property is on 40 acres and there are trails to walk. I can’t say enough about this slice of paradise in Westcliffe. Thank you, again, Katarina for making us welcome into your beautiful home! ##### Barbara R.

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. ##### Lorilee C.

The owner was very nice but our stay was not...pictures need to be updated on the listing. ##### Jason K.

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!! ##### Sheri B.

There was only one comfortable bed, so - sleeping felt a little more like camping instead of glamping. Kitchen was great for cooking - had everything we needed. Was a little disappointed that “Internet” meant that you can get your own cell service to access hotspot, but we managed to be more off grid than originally planned. Communication with owner was great and very timely! Glad we had a truck to get to the property instead of a sedan as the roads were a little rough for a small area into the property. This is ideal country living! Thanks for sharing. ##### Alicia G.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was everything we wanted. Loved the property and surrounding land, especially the private pond and canoe. I'm sure we'll be staying here again. ##### Connor S. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Grand Z Casino Hotel by Red Lion Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Georgetown-Hotels-Grand-Z-Casino-Hotel.h4110604.Hotel-Information) > - [Expedition Lodge Estes Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Estes-Park-Hotels-Rocky-Mountain-Hotel-Conference-Center.h1457490.Hotel-Information) > - [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > - [The Boulder Broker](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boulder-Hotels-Rodeway-Inn-And-Suites-The-Broker.h23222.Hotel-Information) > - [Tesla MedBed Center, East Dubuque](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Dubuque-Hotels-Tesla-MedBed-Center.h1076011.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > - [Scandinavian Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sister-Bay-Hotels-Scandinavian-Lodge.h16603450.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > - [Wolf Den Cabin is cozy and rustic that overlooks the beautiful aspens trees. ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cortez-Hotels-Rustic.h48418025.Hotel-Information) > - [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > - [Far View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cortez-Hotels-Far-View-Lodge.h170601.Hotel-Information) > - [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > - [Beaumont Hotel & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ouray-Hotels-Beaumont-Hotel-Spa.h2844575.Hotel-Information) > - [Wapiti Self-Service Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durango-Purgatory-Hotels-The-Wapiti-Lodge.h9289847.Hotel-Information) > - [A-Lodge Boulder](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boulder-Hotels-Boulder-Adventure-Lodge.h1040818.Hotel-Information) > - [Bearadise Mt.
