The three-bedroom house has a walkout patio and sunrooms in the first and second floors. The property sits on a huge plot of land off the main road so it’s in a very quiet corner of Westcliffe. You can walk around the house and decide which is the best spot to view sunsets and sunrises, and where the mountain contours are sharpest. At night, you can opt to light up the charcoal grill or take advantage of Westcliffe’s outstanding star-lit skies.

3. Lovely mountain-view lodgings across Mennonite Bakery (from USD 108)
This is a two-story Airbnb vacation home that takes you a step closer to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. There is a porch where you can wind down and take in the scenery. The newly touched up space features comfortable furniture and some decorative inspirations you won’t find elsewhere. The beds and couches tempt you to snuggle and cosy up; but just outside the window, the mountain views remind you why you came all the way to Westcliffe, Colorado.

4. Hip solar and wind-powered cabin (from USD 133)
A distinctive red cabin, situated at the foothills of the Wet Mountains near Westcliffe, about 7 miles (11.3 km) from the nearest highway, is pretty as a picture. It is designed for a zero carbon footprint lifestyle. While you may find equally spectacular views of mountains and starry skies in other Airbnb vacation rentals, this property stands out when it comes to reconnecting with nature. A wind turbine and solar panels make sustainable living a reality in this 10-acre (4.05 hectares) property. You will still enjoy modern luxuries (including a full bath with a clawfoot tub) while living 100 percent off-the-grid.

7. Adorable furnished cabin close to Westcliffe's pristine wildlife
This is it! This is the secluded-in-the-woods property that houses as many as six guests with a room to spare. “Crazy Woman Ranch” in South Fork is an Airbnb vacation rental offering a singular experience. Living in the cabin and the surrounding land is as close an encounter to Westcliffe as it can get. The cabin’s sleeping quarters remind you of furnished hotel rooms. Meanwhile, the kitchen and common areas are more like the setup you have at home. The host says you need to plan your showers but other than that you can relax and watch deer and elk roam from a safe distance. Mountain trails and fishing haunts are just a short drive or a comfortable walk away.

8. Comfortable and stocked home with a huge backyard
An early 1900’s home with modern conveniences could be the Airbnb vacation home you are looking for. This charming home is named, “Mountain Thistle” and aptly so. Wet Mountain and Sangre de Cristo Mountains dominate the landscape. Check out the antique furniture thoughtfully chosen. Look closely at the fine work of Colorado artists displayed proudly on the walls. Modern comforts are provided to ensure you will have the means to cook if you wish and take a break when you want. The yard and back deck is all yours as well as the gazebo. It is a peaceful place with breathtaking nights. The host donates 10 percent of their profits to local charities so you might want to consider contributing to their cause.

10. Tongue and groove cabin with spectacular views
A log cabin outfitted as a spacious house for six guests is available as an Airbnb vacation rental in Westcliffe. Its best feature is an incomparable view. The house is a class of its own, with panoramic views of mountains, woods, and creeks. The cabin’s decks are strategically positioned for unhindered sightseeing from home. An outdoor hot tub boosts your mountain-viewing experience a notch higher. There is a dirt road access, and the property is only 15 minutes away from the town proper. The host advises caution for anyone who has difficulty managing stairs or a stay at an altitude of 8,800 feet (2,682 metres) above sea level. If you are fit for the altitude and stair climbing exercises then this place is yours to enjoy.
