Howard Cabin | Dog Friendly Pond Private

2 Bedroom Cabin in Howard

Star Mesa is on 5 private acres that stretch like a thousand. This is what wide-open mountain living feels like.
Wake up to the Sangre de Cristo peaks dominating your view. Step outside to your *private pond*—where the only sounds are wildlife moving through and the kind of silence most people forgot exists.
The stars here? Unreal. Zero light pollution, infinite sky. This is what people mean when they say "dark sky country."
A massive fenced yard means pups can run, explore, and be *fully* off-leash without you worrying. This isn't just dog-friendly—it's dog heaven.
Star Mesa isn't a place you visit once. It's the place you come back to, again and again, because nowhere else compares.

~ two bedrooms, each with a queen size bed

Summary: The view, the views and the view! Perfect. Winter getaway. The husky was able to run around the fenced yard and play in the snow. It was wonderfully quiet and perfect to spend some time with loved ones. I can only imagine the beauty in the summer and fall.
