About this property

Magnificent Cabin views of Sangre De Cristo Mountain Range, and Wet Mountains.

A magnificent taste of Heaven with the Sangre De Cristo Mountain Range, at least 5 14'ers, with 52 Lakes, hiking and trails. The back deck and master view of the Wet Mountain rolling meadows, and hills will just captivate you. We have 4 decks to enjoy every angle of this paradise and once here you will never want to leave. This is a brand-new build with a Rustic Chic environment. You will feel relaxed on our 36.2 acres of land with the friendly deer at our doorstep. We have all brand-new beds, with upscale linen, all baking and cooking supplies are here for your use as the 36" Viking Oven and Stove top is amazing with all the upgrades.

We have wildflowers blooming everywhere, and the front of the property is filled with trees, and a tree fort for all to enjoy. Lake Deweese is only 15 minutes from the Cabin and all the luxuries of a small town, with Art Galleries, Custom Wood shops, Mills, Restaurants, Bakeries, Florist and so much more. We are only 1 hour from Salida, 60 Minutes from the Pueblo Reservoir, 50 minutes from Bishops Castle and so much more, as you need to check out the Visitors Center. This Dark Sky Community also welcomes the Rodeo, Music Festivals, Car shows and the best hospitality.

The Challenger Lodge is a dream come true, with all logs hand planed, sanded and stained. We have taken so much pride in all we created here for you. It was never intended as a Vrbo or any rental property , however since my dream retirement home is not in the near future, i am thinking of so many people might really love this environment, landscape, sites, view, and Heaven.

The dreams of the skies and land end with this property, will see it all. Just a vision come to life here at The Challenger Lodge, where your dreams of unparallel comfort and a beautiful cabin. come true, and we so hope you love what we have created for you. We have a private airport just 2 miles from the cabin so fly in.

May you be blessed each and every day of your life and the beauty of Westcliffe, 2200 CR 310, always be your most special moments, adventures, and loving memories.

Trip to westcliffe
We came to westcliff for a wedding with our grown kids and their partners. The house was stunning and so well laid out for 6 people. Plenty of room and outside space. Thoughtful touches - Coffee for our arrival and snacks. The host was So accommodating. We did plenty of star gazing which was amazing. I would rate this place as high and one of the best places we have stayed at. Would love to come back.

Amazing views!
This house is truly beautiful. The wrap around deck was the place we gathered the most. Between the sunrises and sunsets, it provide great views. The house is very well stocked with most everything you could want. It was quiet yet close enough to town. We would highly recommend.

Beautiful property, Wonderful property owner!
We were looking for a quiet vacation- somewhere that we could relax and enjoy a slower pace with our two busy kids. This house spoke to me when I saw it on VRBO. This property did NOT disappoint. The views from both sides of the cabin were phenomenal. The home was clean and comfortable for our stay. Laurie, the property owner, was incredible leading up to our trip. From sending me a list of things to keep our kids entertained to checking in to make sure things were well during our stay. We couldn’t have worked with a better property owner. The town of Westcliffe has a lot of great restaurants and shops to entertain. If you’re looking for a getaway with a slower pace, this is the place to stay. However, this property is an easy drive to some fun attractions that were a must see for us. It was the best of both worlds.

Perfect Holiday Vacation!
The cabin is beautiful and the mountain views are unbeatable! The owner Laurie was very hospitable and attentive to our needs. The cabin is stocked with absolutely everything you would ever need. There was more than enough room for our family of 5. This was truly one of the best family vacations we have ever had!

Spectacular views and so comfortable!
I visited with 2 friends to attend the Rad Dirt Fest in Trinidad. It’s a bit of a drive from Trinidad, but we were staying for several days and wanted to be comfortable. The home is at ~8500’, so good for us flatlanders attempting to acclimate. The home is exceptional and the owner, Laurie, was gracious and accommodating. She made sure we’re were comfortable and that we had everything needed. The home is well appointed (a lot of snacks too), and the decks, with views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, are awesome! The home and property are quiet and peaceful and just a wonderful place for relaxing getaway. We made a view visits to Westcliffe for pizza and Italian food, road bikes on the local gravel roads (more great views), and were able to run in solitude right from the door. Great home, terrific owner, and look forward to returning!

Awe inspiring!!!
To quote my 12 year old son, “this is a vibe!!!” I could not have said it better myself. My wife and I and our 5 sons wanted a weekend of peace and no tech to connect with each other and with the beauty of Colorado. Laurie’s home was the perfect get away. Sandwiched between the Wet Mountains and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this home in the dark sky community of Westcliffe was just what the doctor ordered. The mountain views, the dark skies, and the silence was perfect for our last weekend before school starts. The weekend was filled with hours of reading, deep conversations, and a reminder to each of us what is most important in life (each other!). I will not even try to describe how perfectly situated the home is to take in those views that make CO one of the worlds treasures. Thank you Laurie for sharing your beautiful home in this beautiful location with us. We cannot wait to return.

There are not enough words.
The whole experience exceded my expectations. The site photos were not able to capture the beauty of the home, property or the views. We were in awe from the moment we arrived. Laurie was so gracious. She went above and beyond in doing so many things to make sure our stay was comfortable.I can't wait to return. She thought of everything she and Ken were so thoughtful and kind. Thank you both.

Picturesque Views
Beautiful home in the mountains of Westcliffe. Views all around are amazing, the house is tastefully decorated and well-stocked with linens, towels, food, etc. Short drive to Westcliffe and surrounding areas. Shortcuts to Alamosa are available but they are dirt roads. If you are up for an adventure and don't mind the dirt, take the time to travel. The owner is very responsive and it was evident from the very beginning that she wanted us to have the perfect stay. Beautiful home and well worth the drive!
