Dog Friendly • Pond • Private
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.

Love staying at Star Meza. Everything about this cabin is amazing and beautiful. We’ve enjoyed this VRBO Through Piñon for many years. Thank you for offering this lovely cabin with the spectacular views!
This was the perfect place to stay for a few days to get away from the city. While we felt very remote at the cabin, it was nice to be within 30 minutes of a couple of towns that had all the amenities we needed.
We had a a great time at Star Mesa as did our dog! Great views from the cabin both inside and outside. It was an extremely cold weekend yet the cabin stayed nice and warm.
We had a great time at this lovely home and property. The views are amazing and it is located in a quiet neighborhood. Neighbor's cows came to visit and a herd of deer were in the yard quite a bit. The house was very comfortable and well stocked. We would definitely stay again if visiting the area.
Exceptional 5 days that will be remembered for a lifetime.
We had a wonderful springtime in the Rockies stay. Sunshine and snow. Beautiful views, friendly deer, homey layout. It was the perfect place to decompress and forget the hustle and bustle.
We will be back.
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.
We had a wonderful time at Star Mesa cabin. It suited us perfectly. The privacy and beauty really set this place apart. Communication was immediate and amenities were everything you enjoy at home. For us it was located just far enough out of town to get away from the congestion and noise but close enough to drive in for groceries or a nice dinner without much hassle. We will absolutely book this cabin again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy, private cabin. The beds were very comfortable, the area was quiet and beautiful and all was communicated wonderfully. We hope to visit again!
Absolutely one of my favorite places ...may be my top fav! Third time for us here....as I said in guest book it is just a classic beauty. Timeless. So quiet..private..just beautiful. Our dogs gave it 4 paws up! Love how it just always feels like coming home! Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of earth with us! The home is so welcoming...every time!
This is our second time staying at the property and we loved it again. It's isolated, quiet, plenty of space, it has everything for a lovely vacation with kids, even a small kayak my son used. We enjoyed it and highly recommend if you are looking for a very peaceful and beautiful vacation.
Star Mesa was a beautiful property. The house was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The views were out of this world. We will definitely be returning in the future.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time (especially my retriever) on the large back deck soaking up sun while only looking at trees and grass and water instead of other homes. This was a great mountain getaway. I would love to visit again.
