About this property

Relax, rejuvenate and recharge at Star Wrangler!

***FALL LEAF PEEPING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER***
Words fail to describe the beauty that is about to sweep into the Wet Mountain corridor as fall approaches and the air becomes crisper. We can't wait to wander through the apple orchards in Penrose, fish among the gorgeous changing aspens at Lake Isabel and hike St. Charles trail and one last stretch to Venable Falls to capture the beauty of the changing leaves.

On the home front, our hillside is a gorgeous balance of pine trees and aspen. We have loved watching the tiny aspen leaves unfurl into their full glory. What a beautiful golden grove they will be when they fully turn yellow at their peak!

We would love to welcome you for one more stay before we close our reservations for the season around Thanksgiving. Snow is unpredictable and makes our driveway a challenge that we need to manage carefully. Let us know if you would like to come our way and take in a few more nights of beautiful stars, wonderful rambling and restful time together! Thank you for such a nice start to our first season of hosting our treasured. guests!
*************

Welcome to Star Wrangler, our beautiful Wet Mountain retreat located on 35 acres of gorgeous, private Colorado mountain highlands in the Dark Skies corridor between Wetmore and Westcliffe! Nestled between San Isabel National Forest and Bureau of Land Management land, this property is both private and within easy reach of the many interesting things to do in the area. With a galaxy of stars above and a mountainside of wildflowers, towering cliffs and charms of hummingbirds surrounding you, your job is to simply relax, rejuvenate and reconnect with yourself, your family and friends and nature itself.

Beautifully designed for comfort and recreation, Star Wrangler offers something for everyone. Mountain breezes and ceiling fans keep the home cool during the summer months and radiant heat flooring, a wood burning stove and on-demand hot water keep it warm and toasty in the winter. Cozy up and read your favorite book under a heap of ruffled Belgian linen bedding or relax with a delicious glass of wine in a deep soaking tub with pink Himalayan bath salts in a mountain spa environment. Challenge your friends to an afternoon of badminton, corn hole or darts across our mountainside gathering spaces or join your youngest in a solid game of checkers or kid-sized pool in the Little Dipper, our mountain clubhouse for kids of all ages. Watch the sunrise and sunset on our flower-filled deck with a cappuccino or espresso from our in-house coffee suite snuggled up with your pup under a pile of colorful deck blankets. Need a little professional time to catch up? A simple, but beautiful rustic corner office with Star Link access is ready for you with magnificent views in our charming loft overlooking Lover’s Leap and within the warmth of a magically themed star retreat for the little ones. Need to maintain your strength…choose well, there is more than enough mountainside to keep you busy, but an integrated weight room with yoga mats, bike and free weights is waiting to cut to the last detail.

Ready to venture out? This beautiful home is perfectly located an hour and fifteen minutes from southern Colorado Springs and 15-40 minutes from so many wonderful adventures in Westcliffe, Florence, San Isabel and Pueblo. Discover the magic of one man’s dream at Bishop’s Castle, find the perfect vintage treasure as you antique through Florence, shop and nibble delightful treats on your way to a music festival, car show or trip to see the universe at the observatory in Westcliffe. Discover the best kept secrets of Victorian living at the gorgeous Rosemount museum on your way to ride the river boats through the Riverwalk in Pueblo. Head to the Pueblo mesa farmstands and fill your car with delicious seasonal fruits and vegetables to cook on the back grill. Catch your fill of fish on the beautiful Pueblo reservoir or charming mountain lake at San Isabel or hike and mountain bike the many historic trails of Beulah, Ophir Creek and St. Charles.

Create memories together cooking your local plunder in a fully stocked kitchen, grilling or smoking your feast on the back porch grill or taking your trip to new heights with the delight of a custom curated dinner party courtesy of one of our superb personal chefs or specialty culinary packages from our partner property, Pop Kitchen & Events in Old Colorado City (Available October 2023).

Ready for the big game or a blockbuster movie night? Need a specialty gathering space to enjoy a little more room for your business retreat, family reunion, girl’s weekend, etc.?

Quick Trip
Took a quick weekend trip to Royal Gorge but wanted to stay away from any city. This was the perfect house for that. Beautiful views. The house was really clean and very comfortable. A lot of added touches to make our stay even better.

Wonderful property for an out of town getaway
A beautiful place to stay that is set in the cozy wet mountains. The house has everything you need for a wonderful stay. It is a 20 min drive to Westcliffe. The host and property manager are very communicative with answers to any questions. Also, the Starlink internet worked flawless the whole week. A 5 star must stay if looking for a remote place near Westcliffe area.

About the host

Host profile image
John and I were born and raised in beautiful Southern Colorado. We are so proud of this gorgeous area and have spent a lifetime in and out of the Wet Mountains, Sangre de Cristo mountains and Front Range of Colorado. We love to enjoy all parts of the experience that awaits you. Antiquing in Florence, heading to dinner in Westcliffe, checking in at Bishop's Castle, sitting under the aspens at San Isabel Lake, hiking St Charles Trail, exploring the River Walk and many historic museums and restaurants in Pueblo. You name it, this area is a hidden jewel and we are proud to call it our home. We are so excited to share our home, Star Wrangler, with you. Being your host, means that we have the opportunity to think about what you would love before you arrive, anticipate what might delight you, learn from your comments on how to make things more beautiful and connect with you over your return visits. We hope to build memories with you and treasure the opportunity to enjoy this home and area together. Welcome and thank you for being our guests. Best to you, John and Amy

Why they chose this property

Our arrival at this beautiful home came out of tragedy. Our historic cabin in Beulah, Colorado burned to the ground in April 2022. After much deliberation and heart break, we made the decision as a family to look for a new home rather than rebuild as the time frame for rebuilding was too difficult given our greater family circumstances. Our greatest desire was to find a new mountain cabin in the Dark Skies area close to Westcliffe, Beulah and San Isabel that would also allow us to be close to Florence and Pueblo. What a find this beautiful home was! It had everything that we were looking for including a galaxy of stars above. It took us close to a year to work forward in creating the comfy retreat that we wanted to share and we hope that it is as much fun for you to stay in as it has been for us to fluff. We are constantly delighted by the opportunity to be part of the Westcliffe and Silver Cliff community stretching our hand east to Wetmore and Pueblo, north to Florence and south to San Isabel and Rye. This is our beloved stomping grounds; the trails of our childhood and we love so much to get to continue to be part of it.

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique in that it is vastly private. It is a true Colorado enclave that asks you to sit and glory in the beauty of Mother Nature. You can truly connect to yourself in this area and appreciate the beauty day and night of what it means to be in a very pristine, untouched area of Colorado full of wildflowers, the occasional hummingbird and chipmunk and the sound of the wind shaking the aspen leaves or stirring the clouds through the stars overhead. This is a rare thing in a state that is becoming busier and busier. We treasure the peace and ask our guests to enjoy and preserve this little corner of paradise.
