Howard Cabin | Dog Friendly- Star Mesa!

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
