Dog Friendly- Star Mesa!

Nothing compares to a vacation at Star Mesa with its peaks, pond and privacy, where five acres looks and feels like a thousand. The private pond and incomparable views of the Sangre de Cristo peaks and the Arkansas River hills make this a place you will return to again and again. Wildlife and amazing starlight are part of the scenery here. Star Mesa is dog heaven with a huge fenced yard.

This beautiful log home includes:
~ two bedrooms, each with a queen size bed, and a much preferred inflatable queen mattress.
~ a kitchen built for entertaining with a large entertainment bar and an open living/dining area
~Brand new gas stove/oven
~ front deck with a porch swing and amazing views of the 'Twin Sisters' peaks, and a large covered back deck with views of the pond and hills beyond.

Secluded and Beautiful!
We had a wonderful time at Star Mesa cabin. It suited us perfectly. The privacy and beauty really set this place apart. Communication was immediate and amenities were everything you enjoy at home. For us it was located just far enough out of town to get away from the congestion and noise but close enough to drive in for groceries or a nice dinner without much hassle. We will absolutely book this cabin again!

We had a wonderful springtime in the Rockies stay. Sunshine and snow. Beautiful views, friendly deer, homey layout. It was the perfect place to decompress and forget the hustle and bustle. We will be back.

This is how you rent Peace and Quiet
This home is clean, nice and comfortable. It has a big kitchen and family room area, and a big deck off of the back. The deck has a great grill. This is where we spent most of our time. Deck overlooks pasture, a creek, a lake, and amazing views. It is very secluded. We never saw another human and we enjoyed having the cows and horses as neighbors. It's about 15 miles E/SE from Salida where we picked up some groceries.

Home was better than pictures in VRBO. Everything we needed was there including a gas grill(we cooked our main meals) Clean, no pet odors, relaxing, great views, quiet location. Only thing that could be improved is the mattress in the room facing the deck/pond. Thank you for sharing your place with us, we We will be back!
