7 Bedroom Cabin in Westcliffe

Summary:
"Trails Head Lodge" is located 3 miles west of Westcliffe on 80 acres, in the middle of the Wet Mountain Valley. Referred to as "the valley floor". This area is your grandfather's Colorado: raptors, deer, expansive green pastures; cattle; meadows ranging from 80 to thousands of acres. All at the foot of the majestic Sangre de Cristo mountain range and its world class hiking/jeep/horse trails and high (11-12,000 elevation) mountain lakes.
The Space:
Trails Head Lodge, including the adjacent cabin (the ANNEX) easily accommodates 10 adults. The nightly base rate provides access to the larger cabin, or LODGE, with up to 7 adults in four bedrooms. The master suite is on the main floor and offers a king bed & huge bathroom suite with a jet tub and shower with a seat. A second king bed is located on the second floor. Two other bedrooms have a queen bed.
The Annex, which was the original cabin with its own exterior walls, is available for reservations of 8 or more guests, or to gain access to additional beds. The Annex is not rented separately, or concurrently except from January - April when each cabin is available at off-season, monthly rates. Great solution to winter over while build a house or just to work remotely and focus for a month or so.
PRICING for the ANNEX IS MANUAL: Please submit an inquiry for groups of 9 or more. The 8th guest costs $130 and each additional (guests 9-12) is $25 per adult per night. If your headcount is not yet set, book for 8 guests up front and we can adjust as your arrival date approaches. Likewise we manually price smaller groups who want access to the second kitchen or more bedrooms.
Combined living space is 3,816 sq. ft. but separated into two cabins, joined by an enclosed breezeway/laundry room, but no common exterior walls, separated by utility and boiler rooms, 6-8 feet wide. The set up is perfect for two families/groups who want a mix of social time and private time. The Lodge has a gas fireplace and the Annex has a tremendously effective wood stove. The Lodge is a bit more polished and the Annex more rustic.
The Lodge has both a "breakfast table" and a "dinner table" with seating for up to 14 persons.
Front porch is covered and faces the Sangre de Cristos to the west. The back porch is partially covered with outdoor table & chairs for six persons. Just off the deck is a fire pit for roasting S'mores. And, of course, a large gas grill is provided.
Guest Access:
Your group has access to the (steel pipe) fenced-in area (about 1.7 acres) around the Lodge/Annex complex.
Gaining access to the corral and barn requires paying a horse boarding fee of $70 per night for the first horse and $35 per night for the second through forth horse. Local grass hay is provided and included. Feeding and watering is "self-serve" by the guests. No other horses will be on property.
Up to two dogs are welcome but each carries a $60/stay Pet Fee. The fence around the residential area is designed to keep the cows in the surrounding pasture. It's is not a pet enclosure. Leashing is up to your discretion.
Inquire about live-in rigs. Permissible for short says; but, no dumping facilities.
The Neighborhood:
Trails Head Lodge & Annex are located in the heart of Wet Mountain Valley. Gibson and Hermit Trail Heads are only 3-4 miles to the west on dirt roads. Venable/Comanche trail heads are about 4 miles to the south... mostly via dirt roads. The Rainbow Trail traverses the Sangres, connecting Gibson, Hermit, Comanche, Venable and other trails leading to the high country.
Westcliffe is a 3 mile drive to the east on paved roads.
Getting Around:
Trails Head Lodge is accessible year-round with a regular "city car". Having a 4x4 vehicle will better enable your group to see more territory, even pop over to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve via Medano Pass. Or from the top of Music Meadows Pass look down on both the San Luis Valley and Wet Mountain Valley. The Jeep/ATV trails offer a great variety of difficulty or roughness. Consult the off-road guides that will be at the Lodge.
Other Things to Note:
From December though April both cabins are priced for monthly rentals. Inquire about one or both cabins. The off-season rates assume a separate group in each cabin, with no common walls.
PLEASE REQUEST CUSTOM PRICING FOR MORE THAN 4 BEDROOMS OR 9 GUESTS. THESES ARE THE TRIGGER POINTS TO RESERVE BOTH CABINS. GUESTS 9 - 12 ARE PRICED MANUALLY. FEEL BOOK FOR EIGHT GUESTS NOW AND SET AN EXACT COUNT CLOSER TO YOUR ARRIVAL DATE. This reduces amount of your deposit.
Interaction with Guests:
We enjoy meeting guests but at the initiative and discretion of guests. Key staff lives within 4 miles, so we can react to guest needs quickly.
We store tools and materials in the garage and barn, so one or more of our team will occasionally access those areas. We will coordinate timing of mowing or other outdoor maintenance tasks.

Summary: Wow, the dark knight sky is beautiful to behold, if you have a telescope, I recommend you bring it. If nit the observatory is minutes away. Plenty of room for people to relax, we had 7 so we were only in the main "Lodge". Kids played in the yard and dogs barked at the neighboring field's cows; overall just a wonderful setting with great access to the National Forest. We'll be back.

Summary: Mountains right out your front door, endless pastures out the back. Spotless upon arrival. Comfortable beds and warm blankets so you can leave the windows open all night. Great master bath and everything you could need in the kitchen. Offroading and hiking 10 minutes down the road, or an authentic small town 10 minutes the other way. You'll be looking at property listings by the time you leave.

Summary: My family and I drove from Texas to stay here for Spring Break. A snow storm blew in the day we arrived. Us being Texans, we havent experienced anything like it. We enjoyed the warmth of the house and the beautiful fireplace and enjoyed some board games together. The house had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook our meals and everything was labeled so well! The beautiful mountian views are visible from every room in the house. The snow didnt stop us from getting out and about and enjoying things nearby...the owners had someone come and plow the drive and shovel the porches. We didnt even have to ask! Westcliffe was such a cute town with great shops and the friendliest people. We will definitely stay here again!

Summary: The lodge and annex were perfect for 9 adults & 2 dogs. It is very well stocked, provided coffee beans were a treat, maps/books on trails appreciated, lots of games and everything we needed. Great star gazing & nice fire pit. Charlie the host was super responsive, helpful & courteous. I highly recommend Trail Head lodge & DarkSkies Vacations

Summary: Overall, it was a nice cabin. Our family of three likes to have our spaces to relax. It could benefit from curtains or blinds in the master bedroom and madter bathroom as its open fully. A second tv would also be nice for teenagers. We bought a second tv while there. It's a lovely location, close to town so we would likely stay there again

Summary: We came to Westcliffe with a group of friends to ride local ATV Trails, so we had several truck and trailer combos. They were very accommodating and made everything so easy! Even saw Charlie in town a couple of times and he stopped to check on us each time. Great place for groups!
