Book a hotel near Hermit Park, Westcliffe

"The kitchen is very well stocked and the views are amazing. The cabin is very cozy at night, with the wind howling around the house. Overall a great place to stay!"

"Perfect place to sit and enjoy the view"

"It was a nice and cozy cottage that suited my little dog and I. Very clean and had what you needed. I’m sure I’ll be back with my family next time. "

"The only reason that I didn't give them four stars is that there was so much light on the front of the building that you could not sit on the chairs and see any stars. I assumed that a place called dark skies would have lights that are motion sensored or more dim so that you could take in the night sky, so we walked about a block down the road to see the stars. Also, the floors are very thin and we could hear every footstep from the neighbors upstairs. The room itself was fine. Very clean and lots of windows. The bed was really hard, but some people like this. "

"The pictures of the property do not do it justice. You have snow-capped mountain top views. Very private with no close neighbors. Were able to see some incredible starry night views with the telescope that is provided. Easy hike up to the Rainbow Trail. Home was spacious, and we had everything we needed. Pete, the owner, was very helpful when a small fire a couple of streets over caused a temporary evacuation. The location is about an hour from the Royal Gorge and less than two hours from Colorado Springs. Both drives are breathtaking and worth the trip. Loved Westcliffe. The town was friendly. Great shops, food, and art. Highly recommend grabbing a burger from Chappy's. Stop by the art store near the Natural Food Store. Michael Arterburn's ceramic work is so unique! His wife is super friendly and helpful, and can guide you to shops, restaurants, and other places to see. We loved our stay here!"

"It was a really nice place. In our case there was no one else there so we were able to hang out in the main downstairs area which was pretty nice. The staff we needed help from were very responsive as well. I honestly would recommend staying here as the views from the front porch at night and during sunset are amazing!"
