Westcliffe Cabin
This area of Colorado is beautiful, and this house is the perfect place to view the grandeur of nature. The deck surrounding the home provides beautiful views from every direction and there are many places to sit and enjoy the great outdoors. Inside the home, every window frames the glorious scenery outside. After a great night’s sleep on the comfortable mattress, the gorgeous sunrise from the master bedroom window was a pleasant surprise. When it rains the huge living room windows continue to show off nature at her best. The inside of the home was comfortable and cozy; it was a very welcoming environment and felt more like a private home than any I’ve stayed in before. You can see and feel the attention to detail in the decor as well as in the cleanliness of the home. The privacy and quietness of this location is wonderful. As for the host, Maddie goes above and beyond. It is clear she loves her home and cares about the comfort of her guests. The home is outstanding and the amenities are perfect. Outside there are tables, an umbrella, benches and chairs for viewing, and a hammock amongst a small grove of aspen trees. There are chaise lounges for viewing the stars. I’ve never seen the stars blanket the sky from horizon to horizon and understand why this area is considered a dark sky community. I’d like to thank Maddie for being patient and understanding with me when a slight problem came up when booking. We highly recommend this home and will be back again!

An amazing get away
My friend and I had the pleasure of booking your cozy mountain resort while attending a weekend Women in Rotary retreat just five miles away—and what a gem we discovered!Though our days were packed with retreat activities, the moments we spent at your property were pure bliss. The hospitality extended to us far exceeded any rental experience we've ever had. Every detail was thoughtfully considered—from the pristine cleanliness to the inviting comfort of each space. It felt less like a rental and more like a warm embrace after a long day.We didn’t get to spend nearly enough time enjoying the home itself, but that only gives me a reason to return… this time, just for me. Whether it’s the peaceful mountain views, the cozy ambiance, or the sense of serenity that lingers in every room, your retreat is a place I’ll be dreaming about until I can come back.Thank you for creating such a special haven. It truly made our weekend unforgettable.P.S. don't let the exterior fool you. This is truly a cozy mountain get away.

Wonderful property
We came to the Westcliffe area to celebrate our anniversary. Property is located near plenty of hiking trails and well within driving distance to town. There is also enough seclusion for lounging around. Maddie is a great host. Between the care she gives the property, the little things she leaves around for your use, and the gift she left for our anniversary, you can tell she cares about your stay. Thanks for sharing your property with us!

Fantastic home, with a ton of little extras! We enjoyed the humming birds and wildlife wondering through the property. It was very quiet. I would recommend this to anyone. Just know, all sleeping areas are open to the living area, no secrets! See you next time.

Where does one begin?
I am a bit loss for words to describe our recent stay at Maddie’s cottage. We have had a hectic year and needed a place to get away and reconnect again. From my first encounter with Maddie her caring and genuine warmth was evident. She went the extra mile to help us feel at home at her lovely retreat. Her eye to detail and equipping the cottage with more than the necessary meant we did not really need to leave. We enjoyed the hikes around the cottage and spent hours gazing at the skies. I would not hesitate in recommending this piece of heaven.

Review by overflow family.
What a stunning house and a fantastic location. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house. Walking in to the incredibly high ceilings made it seem like a lodge from the movies! The house was warm (even when it was snowing), comfortable, and full of everything you need to relax. We really appreciated the snacks provided too, and having laundry was very helpful.
I wouldn't hesitate recommending this fantastic place.
Perfect, cozy place for a quiet "reset" weekend and stargazing. Maddie was an incredible host, very thoughtful and communicative. We appreciated the clean, comfortable house and the secluded, but safe, location of the property. Beautiful area to watch the sunrise. Would definitely book again!

Perfect!!!
We just loved this house and the hostess!!! She is so accomodating and stocks the house with all kinds of extras. The location is beautiful and the house warmly and beautifully decorated. It is also spotlessly clean. The outdoor yard a beautiful place to watch the stars. The pictures dont do it any justice. We will return for many more visits when we travel to Westcliff

Great hospitality.
This was our second time staying and the place is absolutely amazing. However, it’s the hospitality of the owners that makes this a top destination for us. I highly recommend this place.
Beautiful home. Great views and privacy. No noise. My family loved the home. It felt warm cozy and relaxing. The owners were great and made sure the home was prepared for a memorable stay. I would definitely return to this home again.
Everything it’s okay if you are lucking for the quiet place this property it’s for you it’s amazing caving

Great family getaway
This place was amazing. It is away from the bustle of town yet within a few minutes drive to Westcliffe. We were frequented by deer, rabbits, and even some turkeys. We did some hiking which was close by and spent lots of time playing inside and outside games. We had no complaints about the house or the view and the owner was easy to contact and communicate with. This was our first time using VRBO and Mrs. Madeleine made it easy to do. We will definitely be coming back.
