Why choose our cabin? We own and operate it ourselves and take a lot of pride and care in the cabin and in taking care of our guests. We are responsive and within a phone call away for any of your needs. Recently we added beautiful Granite countertops, new hardwood flooring in the kitchen and the bathroom has a vessel sink. Relax and enjoy true Colorado mountain style surroundings! I cannot tell you how many weddings, anniversaries, and proposals have happened here. On cleanliness,; since we personally own and operate our home (not managed by a management company), we are taking many extra precautions, regardless of the extra expense. This is to protect everyone who enters our home. We use clorox wipes/Lysol on all surfaces and touchpoints. Also, we use additional sanitizers in addition to our laundry soaps on our linens and bedding. I was a Director of HR for Marriott Hotels, so, I know what we are doing is going beyond industry standards. We hope you will consider our "home away from home" for your vacation this year. Also, the Pikes Peak region has a long history of hospitality for those who have sought a safe, clean space to heal from respiratory illness. Our nickname was once “Sun City” due to our 300 days of sunshine per year and our 1,106,604 acres of Pike National Forest, Garden of the Gods, and other parks and natural sites are the ideal way to Social Distance! Please join us to relax and unwind in our beautiful mountain hideaway that sits on 2 acres of tall Pines and Aspens! This amazing park like setting with Evergreens and Aspens will give you a feeling of privacy, however, is within 2 miles of Hwy 24 and 2 more miles to groceries, restaurants, and gas. A cozy 3 bedroom, 1 bath with private 6 person lighted hot tub, wood stove, unlimited WIFI and Direct TV. Our property is very close to Mueller State Park, so we get a variety of wildlife. We are conveniently located near Pikes Peak, Cripple Creek, Woodland Park and approximately 25 minutes to Manitou Springs/Colorado Springs/Pikes Peak Highway/Garden of the Gods area. For a Colorado experience, we furnished it with log style furnishings. With large windows in the living room you feel as if the outside is a part of the inside! Look out the window one way and you are surrounded by forest and deer (they frequent the area). Look the other way and watch TV and the fire in the wood stove. No smoking is allowed in the home. The 6 person hot tub has a lounge seat (lights and waterfall) provides the perfect spot to let the stress melt away while watching the sunset and stars! Important: We added privacy fencing on the deck in March 2021 because someone is starting to build a home to the right of our property. We still back up to open space and bought the acre to the left because we value the privacy and love to be surrounded with the Pines and Aspens. Fire up the lava bowl next to the hot tub and watch the flames dance in the night sky. You also have unlimited WIFI, DIRECTV, Blu-ray DVD player, DVD movies and board games. The property backs up to an open meadow where you can play kickball in the summer and sledding in the winter! We provide sleds! During summer months play horse shoes in the back yard or basketball on the half court (on concrete). Top it off with a swing in the hammock while enjoying the light breeze! The main level includes the living room with wood stove, kitchen , dining room, bedroom (full-sized bed), laundry and full bath. There are two additional bedrooms upstairs, both with queen sized beds. We provide a fully stocked kitchen, all linens, towels, soaps, shampoos, blow dryer and several other amenities. This retreat is supplied with a binder filled with information about this property as well as the local area! This includes brochures on area attractions. There are many attractions in the area! Pikes Peak (elevation 14,110), Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods, Cripple Creek (casinos, gold mines), Woodland Park, Air Force Academy, Canon City (Royal Gorge, river rafting, train tour, zip lines, prison museums), Santa's Village, Cave of the Winds, Manitou Cliff dwellings, Dinosaur Resource Center, ATV trails, hiking, horseback riding, fishing, golfing, wineries, breweries, and plenty of restaurants.
