***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?
