Family and Pet Friendly. A cozy house on a low traffic cul-de-sac street by the mountains, close to Colorado Springs and Denver. Less than a mile from the National Forest for great hiking / biking, 2 minutes to the quaint shops & restaurants of Historic Downtown Monument, 5 minutes from I-25, 10 minutes from the AFAcademy. Two minutes away is Monument Lake that offers kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing (no swimming). The culdesac is tight and does not have much room for street parking, so you'll be limited to 3 cars. We ask to please park in the driveway/garage and front of the house as much as possible. We are flexible with number of people if additional guests wish to stay on an inflatable air mattress. *PETS: We are Pet Friendly. There will be an extra $75 cleaning fee. Maximum 2 dogs per stay. They need to be friendly and get along with other dogs. Please Note pets are allowed only on Main Floor (where the King and Twin beds are located). Not in the basement (where the Queen bed is located) due to new rug. A door separates the two areas. For everyones safety, the property has outdoor security cameras. The house is cooled by central AC and also has heat. Please note the fireplace is not working properly and won't be able to be used during your stay. The home has two levels: - MAIN LEVEL: The main level includes 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, the kitchen, outdoor access to deck. The bedrooms include a Master with a King bed and mountain views.

The backyard has a gate that accesses the Park in the back called “Dirty Woman Park”, which has a creek, playground, volleyball, basketball, soccer, and baseball fields. The park is several hundred feet from the house and noise should not be a problem. Just down the road is the National Forest with great trails for hiking or biking, and Monument Rock is very close within the forest grounds.
