2 Bedroom Cottage in Westcliffe

ABOUT- Blue Pine Haven (BPH) is a secluded cottage, offering adult guests a unique retreat to unwind. The 3-acre property sits at 9k ft and although tucked away in the woods, its minutes from town. Breathtaking mountain views are steps away for memorable sunrise and sunset experiences. Visit with deer, relax in the massage chair, meditate, stargaze, and simply unwind. Hiking, hot springs, shopping, sightseeing & more for day trips.
IMPORTANT- Four (4) adults max and no pets due to anaphylaxis allergy medical condition.
INTERIOR - The uniquely crafted cottage provides 1,225 square feet of comfort in an earthy-rustic interior setting for adult guests. The open floor plan bathes the cottage in natural light that showcases blue pine woodwork craftsmanship, reclaimed wood cabinetry, a split air unit for heating and AC options, soaring pine ceilings, and eclectic mix of boho and zen inspired decor. The cozy space offers guests two bedrooms, one bath with a river rock shower floor, a dining table, a coffee/breakfast bar looking out into the woods, a large kitchen island, and a third bedroom that serves as the tranquility room for meditation and relaxation. *interior propane fireplace not operational in summer
OUTSIDE - Enjoy the sofa that wraps around a fire pit, BBQ on the gas grill, take a nap in the hammock, enjoy a glass of wine by the fireplace in the gazebo, chill in multiple seating areas to read and watch deer and birds, delight in the whimsical wood-carved animals and metal sculptures that join you on the property, play a round of corn hole, or walk the 3-mile loop trail fronting BPH to take in the stunning views of the Sangre De Cristo Mountain range. *outdoor fireplace and fire pit available year-round, with exceptions to any enforced county fire bans.
MOUNTAIN LIVING - Staying at BPH means experiencing mountain living and sharing the property with bears and mountain lions. Practicing wildlife safety is of the upmost importance. The hosts will help guests with rules and tips for avoiding or dealing with potential encounters and have active exterior trail cams around the property that can alert to dangerous wildlife presence that will be communicated to guests. Winter months can bring measurable snow and frigid temperatures. As such, good tires, AWD or 4WD vehicles, and appropriate winter attire is a must. Guests will also be in a high altitude location and are encouraged to drink lots of water to avoid or lessen any potential altitude sickness symptoms. Speaking of altitude, there are little quirks to deal with. Aerosol sprays can sometimes have slow streams or clog, chip bags can expand and pop, lighters can stop working, and baking instructions should be adjusted to altitude cooking since dough rises faster and the baking process takes longer. Due to the lower air pressure, the cottage’s split air system may produce a low hum and batteries and electrical appliances may have reduced performance. BPH has a gas stove, oven, and dryer to combat altitude performance issues with electrical appliances. Hosts can assist guests with tips on altitude living.
OUR MOTTO - BPH is for adults only and ideal for a romantic getaway or relaxation with a close friend. The cottage is intended for guests to experience our motto- disconnect to reconnect. We cannot stress enough the seclusion BPH offers -guests are tucked away in the peaceful alpine setting, isolated from the world. You can’t even see the cottage from the road. This seclusion experience is truly a break from the everyday hectic lifestyle. Take the time to enjoy nature and the quiet- disconnect from devices and relax in secluded comfort in and outside the cottage. Visit for more: www.bluepinehaven.com
ENTERTAINMENT - There are books, board games, cards, corn hole, a 3-mile loop trail to walk, hiking, stargazing, and wildlife viewing. For modern amenities when you crave to “connect”, there is WiFi, a 50” flatscreen TV, dish network, streaming services (Netflix, Hulu), DVD collection, movie thumb drive, and Bluetooth stereos (indoor and outdoor) to play music straight from your device. Guests may bring a telescope for stargazing and paddle boards/boats for enjoyment on nearby Lake DeWesse, Lake Isabel, and Lake Pueblo. Be sure to pick up a fishing license and check each lake for rules and restrictions. There are a number of water rental options available on the way to BPH- Inquire with the Host.
UNIQUE AMENITIES - The cottage has a bidet seat in the bathroom that allows users to set seat and water temperature, water pressure, and has a dryer function. The tranquility room is equipped with a massage chair, northern lights/celestial sky projector, oil diffuser, and meditation stools for relaxation after a long day of sightseeing and adventures in nature. We are located in a no hunting area and in a Dark Sky community. The friendly deer will delight and the night sky will take your breath away. Visit for more: www.darkskiescolorado.org.
UNIQUE OPTIONS- To make your getaway to BPH truly unforgettable, consider experience options to enhance your stay. Inquire with the host to learn more on in-cottage licensed massage therapy sessions and professional floral arrangements upon arrival for special occasions.
PETS- Host is an asthmatic that has life threatening anaphylaxis and is unable to host animals. Animal hair, dander, feathers, saliva, and urine poses a life threatening condition well after an animal departs the premise since they can exist in the interior fabrics, bathroom and kitchen towels, sauna robes, bedding, pillows, carpet, drapes, and furniture. While the entire home is yours during your stay, this is a residence that the hosts return to after guest departure that will cause a severe health risk and threat. Although the host is equipped with an epipen, this is a rural area with limited emergency services that would be necessary to treat anaphylaxis. This life-threatening health condition is on record. Beyond this medical condition, there are safety hazards for pets with the stairs and fireplace.
.
LICENSE- We are approved to legally operate the Blue Pine Haven STR in Custer County. We hold an active STR License #2021-8 and comply with all rules required by the permitting office.
SAFETY- BPH is equipped with a Generac generator, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors/alarms, cell phone booster, perimeter security cameras, first aid kit, and a fire escape ladder.
DRIVING CONDITIONS - In winter, a 4WD or AWD vehicle are a must to navigate the mountain terrain for guest safety. Colorado also enforces traction laws: See www.codot.gov/travel/winter-driving/tractionlaw

Summary: If you're looking to get away from it all and have a first-class experience with your loved one(s), this property and host cannot be beat. The photos do not do the cabin justice, it is SO MUCH NICER! Our host not only helped my wife & I celebrate our 40th anniversary with an impeccable property, but also provided very thoughtful gifts. Stargazing was amazing, giving credence to the location's Dark Sky designation; we have never seen so many stars (and meteors!) in our life! We will definitely be back!
