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.

Nice stay for rest and relaxation
This was the perfect place to stay for a few days to get away from the city. While we felt very remote at the cabin, it was nice to be within 30 minutes of a couple of towns that had all the amenities we needed.

Great stay in Howard, CO
We had a great time at this lovely home and property. The views are amazing and it is located in a quiet neighborhood. Neighbor's cows came to visit and a herd of deer were in the yard quite a bit. The house was very comfortable and well stocked. We would definitely stay again if visiting the area.

Beautiful place!
This is our second time staying at the property and we loved it again. It's isolated, quiet, plenty of space, it has everything for a lovely vacation with kids, even a small kayak my son used. We enjoyed it and highly recommend if you are looking for a very peaceful and beautiful vacation.

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!

Perfect seculsion surrounded by nature
We thoroughly enjoyed our time (especially my retriever) on the large back deck soaking up sun while only looking at trees and grass and water instead of other homes. This was a great mountain getaway. I would love to visit again.

Peaceful Cabin
The cabin was set off the road by several hundred yards, not that the road was traveled much, but we heard no one. The skies were crystal clear at night, perfect for stargazing in perfect silence. The large yard was fenced and heartily enjoyed by our dog. We were here during some very cold temperatures and snow in February, but the cabin stayed warm and toasty. This was an absolutely lovely place to stay, and we will be back in other seasons and again in the winter. Thank you so very much.

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.

Beautiful location, very dog friendly
Best part of Star Mesa is how dog-friendly it is - lovely big and securely fenced yard - great for big dogs in particular. Peace and quiet with no-one about. Beautiful night skies. Daily visits from horses in an adjacent field. The cabin itself is very well equipped - great kitchen with a gas stove, wood burning fireplace with plenty of wood, for that cabin feel, and cosy sitting area. Wifi works great, and really good slection of channels on TV, including cable (older TV, however, not flat screen, but fine for an odd bit of watching - after all, not why one comes here). About 25 mins drive to downtown Salida.
