"The staff was extremely friendly and we had so much fun!"

"We had a late check in due to the weather and driving in from Colorado Springs after dark in the snow, but when we got there after dark and late about 9pm the host still was able to answer my question in just a few min. So much help and the place was beautiful, clean, well stocked and relaxing. Thank you so much it was a great way to be able to be close and attend our son’s wedding in Westcliffe. "

"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!!!!"

"This place is not clean "

"Our stay at The Hideaway was amazingly quiet and peacful! My wife and I, and our two dogs, spent three days relaxing, taking afternoon walks and stargazing at this beautiful location.As we drove up the small valley to The Hideaway we stopped to take photos of the small deer herd and as we pulled into the driveway we were greeted by another small herd.The Hideaway was very clean and had all the appliances and amenities we could ask for. The stove and refrigerator were spotless and fresh and worked perfectly; making our cooking times so enjoyable.My wife commented several times that staying at The Hideaway was just as comfortable as being in our own home. The large windows in the sun and great rooms let all the brilliant sunshine in and enjoying an afternoon breeze while playing pool was fantastic!A quick drive back down the valley into Westcliffe was a great opportunity to see more deer and enjoy handmade chocolates from Lux and amazing sandwiches at the Dutch Pantry & Deli (we're always sure to visit both places any time we're in Westcliff).When we left The Hideaway we experienced a beautiful drive north on 271/143 into Canon City and had a great lunch at Big Burger World.Visiting Westcliffe is always fun and staying at The Hideaway made our short vacation even more special!"

"This gem in Crestone is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. From the outside, it’s hard to imagine what’s inside, but once you step in, every corner reveals a unique and thoughtful detail. The beautifully crafted wooden windows and antique décor give the home a magical feel.The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and more, making cooking easy. The beds were very comfortable, and the home was well supplied with plenty of towels, linens, and essentials. The area is incredibly peaceful—just the sound of wind, birds, and an occasional distant dog.The fenced dog run right off the back door was a huge plus for us and perfect for pet owners. We visited in the spring, with warm days and cool evenings allowing for fresh cool breezes from wht windows. The stargazing from the deck was unforgettable. With plenty of seating, we enjoyed clear views of the Big and Small Dipper, Orion’s Belt, Betelgeuse, and more—just like the night sky before light pollution.What stood out most was the chance to truly unplug. The home was clean, secure, and inviting. There is a TV, but we never used it. Instead, we reconnected and relaxed. We left feeling refreshed and reenergized. If you’re looking for a peaceful, unique getaway, this Crestone rental is truly special.As a bonus check in was a breeze!"

"The cabin is adorable and has a rustic, cozy feel- as advertised. The hosts are remarkably thoughtful, attending to details everywhere around you. The kitchen had everything we needed. The hosts also had items for smores, hot cocoa, coffee, brand new toothbrushes, floss, all kinds of thoughtful additions. It seems very dog friendly and kid-friendly though we had an older teen and young adult with us and (sadly) no dog. There are games and instructions on using the large tv. Firewood was plentiful and neatly stacked. Indoor fireplace and outdoor firepits were readied for us. Even the string lights outside add an element of fun and thoughtfulness - which we enjoyed on the picnic table beside the creek. Some great hiking is not far away too. Hosts had information out on nearby hikes and places to visit and greeted us with a lovely handwritten note on a postcard with pictures of the cabin. Everything seemed very neat and clean and comfortable. We were so very impressed with how incredibly thoughtful the hosts are and how many small details they'd thought of in their most gracious hospitality. We enjoyed our stay and would love to go back!"

"We arrived after 9pm. Mike was so kind and helpful in showing us where to park and taking us to our room. The room was lovely and clean. It had a kitchen, which we did not use. Breakfast was exquisite. Mike was an excellent host and we would definitely go back. "
