Mountain house overlooking Bear Basin Valley and the Sangre de Cristo Range.

Located just 11 miles east of the picturesque town of Westcliffe, CO, this convenient location offers easy access to the Sangre de Cristo range and is just minutes away from fantastic hiking in the Wet Mountains. An ideal getaway spot for those seeking solitude and a great basecamp for all your mountain adventures.The Mountain House sits atop Tonso Peak on 70 acres of pine and aspen forest. This is a mountain setting yet very accessible. We are located just four miles from paved road and accessed via county-maintained roads, making year-round access one of its best features. Guest access:Guests will have access to the entire house and patio area as well as the forested grounds. Take a walk on our 2-miles of hiking trails and enjoy the birds and wildlife that inhabit the area. There are closets and dressers in the bedrooms for guest use. Help yourself to any of the food items and spices in the kitchen cabinets.Interaction with guests:I like to give people their space but am available to assist when needed. I do not live on the property full time but will sometimes be staying in the guesthouse nearby while I am working around the property. If I am not present I will be reachable by cell phone.Other things to note:Google maps is OK as far as the subdivision gate. After that it is incorrect. VRBO will send you detailed driving directions the day before your arrival. Please use these directions to make sure you don't have any trouble getting here. A note for winter guests: There are a couple of things you should know if you plan to book with us between Nov 1 - May 1. Our guest house sits at 8900 ft. elevation. Although we do not get lots of snow until spring, we often get a few inches at a time throughout the winter and while we do have road maintenance, it may be icy in spots and difficult or impossible for a rear wheel drive vehicle to make it up our lane. I strongly recommend you have a front wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicle to get here during the winter months. House Rules:Self check-in with lockbox- Must be at least 25 to book or have no negative feedback from previous VRBO hosts. All guests must read the house manual upon arrival. The manual contains simple and important instructions for operating the various systems on the property and keeping them in good working order. We ask simply for courteous, neighborly behavior and respect for our home and property. Smoking of any kind is not allowed, including marajana. Well-behaved children are welcome.
