It's fall in the mountains and the Aspens will soon be changing! Come enjoy beautiful views in your own spacious retreat mere minutes from all the autumn glory. Our host (and guidebook) are happy to recommend favorite local hikes, bikes, and drives so you can make the most of the best months in CO!  Our modern and comfortable home backs to an 8 mile bike path and is just 10 minutes from popular aspen viewing in Rampart Range, 20-30 min to Mueller State Park, Cripple Creek, and 11 Mile Canyon. Our 3 bed, 3 bath 1900 sq ft modern mountain home is located in a family friendly neighborhood in the 'City Above the Clouds' boasting an average of 300 days of sunshine per year! Eight months per year, this is where we live! This means that while we have removed our personal effects, our space has all the comforts and depth of a real home away from home. The main level is open concept with a large living area, dining table, breakfast bar, and fully-equipped kitchen for those who love to enjoy great food and after a hard day of play. Upstairs you'll find 3 lovely bedrooms, a huge master suite with king bed and enormous bath boasting double sinks, large shower and separate WC. Our queen guest room and kids bunk room share a hall bath with tub/shower combo for those who like to soak now and then. Both the king and master guest rooms have a small desk and chair along with good wifi access for those on working vacations. Outdoors you'll find a quiet front deck with comfy wicker seating to enjoy a cup of fair trade coffee and a good book in the morning sun. Our backyard offers a small deck with comfy outdoor dining for six and a gas grill to cook up those no-fuss summer meals. We are proximate to EVERYTHING that makes the Pikes Peak Region so amazing. We have lived here for 15 years and LOVE the area. Please see our Guidebook for our favorite spots and recommendations.

Princeton Hot Springs and the cute mountain towns of Breckenridge and Salida Please do be aware while we are "in the mountains" we are also not remote. We have the benefit of mountain views from our driveway and a beautiful pine forest behind our home, AND we also have nearby neighbors + are situated on a well trafficked road that can quickly transport you to whatever adventure you came for! While you can Uber to Woodland Park and walk a mile or so and get to a lot from our home, you will most likely wish you had a car to truly experience what the area has to offer! Woodland Park is not known for it's Uber/Lyft/Taxi service. We do have a local co-host that manages our property and is available to handle immediate issues as needed and answer questions about your stay. Otherwise, we will allow you to enjoy your privacy! We live in a family friendly neighborhood 1 mile from downtown Woodland Park. Views of Pikes Peak, surrounding foothills, and an expansive pine forest can be seen from our home/street. We are located directly behind an 8 mile paved jogging/bike path and we are within 1-2 miles of several city parks, a skate park, famed hiking trails, a state of the art aquatic center, the Dinosaur Museum, several grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, and more! While it is possible to Uber to Woodland Park and then walk a mile or so to grocery stores, restaurants, bike path, etc, you will probably want your own car to get the most out of the area. We have 3 parking spaces on premise, no street parking please. The neighborhood is very walkable, there is a park right up the road, and again, 8 miles of paved bike/walking/jogging path right behind us so bring those bikes, skates, and joggers! Important (Please Read)! We do NOT accept check in or check out on holidays. We are in a neighborhood and ask that you respect quiet hours from 10pm-7am. No open fires are allowed at this time in our county.
