The Space:
Seeing this happy-looking, robin’s egg blue house from the street, you’d never guess there was so much livable space inside. Ah, but looks can be deceiving. This multi-level home gives everyone in your party the comfortable option of hanging out in more than one room of the house, so you’ll never feel overcrowded.
Approaching the home, you’ll note that there’s off-street parking in the driveway and a small wooden deck outside the front door. Inside, you’ll be welcomed by a spacious, airy common room that extends from the front wall of the home to the back, combining the living room and dining areas. You’ll find inviting, casual living room furniture and a dining table with seating for six, plus an additional counter-height table with stools for two. The space is filled with light from a bay window in the front and a sliding glass door at the back leading to the outdoor deck.
The dining room is open to a large, well-equipped kitchen. You’ll find a dishwasher, full-size range, French door refrigerator, two-sided sink, and plenty of cabinet space. Additionally, you’ll enjoy the use of a stocked spice rack, a set of chef’s knives, cooking utensils, a toaster, blender, tea kettle and coffee maker. Make yourself at home!
In the dining area, a partially open wall with a railing lets you look down into the family room one half-level below, providing a sense of shared space without being on top of each other. Adults can relax at the table and keep one eye on the kids downstairs.
Venturing down a short flight of stairs to that family room level, a cozy space awaits with comfortable, casual furniture, a large TV, and a window overlooking the backyard. This is a great space for kids to entertain themselves while adults lounge in the upstairs living room.
Also on the family room level, up to two guests can enjoy a bedroom with a queen-sized bed, large closet and dresser. A full bath on this level includes a shower/tub combo and a large sink vanity.
Don’t like what they’re watching in the family room? No worries. Travel down another half-level to the basement and you’ll find an additional lounge with a sofa and TV, as well as another bedroom with a queen bed and a laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer, iron and ironing board.
From the ground level, a set of stairs will carry you up to a second floor, where you’ll find sleeping quarters for up to four people, divided between two pleasantly decorated, contemporary bedrooms with queen-size beds. One bedroom is a deluxe suite with a private bath, including a large sink vanity and a shower/tub combo. Both bedrooms provide large closets and drawers for clothing.
When the weather’s right, enjoy grilling and shared meals on the deck where you’ll find an outdoor dining table with seating for 6. The backyard is completely fenced, creating a safe play space for people and pets alike.
Hotel-grade linens are professionally laundered after every visit. This home is managed by a local vacation rental specialist, and there’s a sense of quality and care that’s worthy of your 5-star review.

The Neighborhood:
Just 10 minutes from Colorado Springs Airport, this lovely home is situated on a quiet residential street in southeast Colorado Springs with every convenience located within easy driving distance. You’ll love the proximity to so many of the region’s most popular attractions, many of which can be reached by car in 20 minutes or less.
The region is a paradise for outdoors enthusiasts, offering opportunities for hiking, hunting, fishing, rafting, ziplining, skiing and more. You’ll have your pick of parks and open spaces to explore. Some of the most popular include Cheyenne Mountain State Park (20 minutes), Red Rock Canyon Open Space (19 minutes), and Bear Creek Regional Park East (18 minutes). The nearest park is the Bluestem Prairie Open Space (8 minutes), a bird-watching paradise on 650 acres of prairie grassland.
Don’t miss some of the most spectacular photo opportunities of a lifetime at the Garden of the Gods Nature Center, home to striking, ancient 300-foot-tall rock formations (22 minutes), and the summit of Pikes Peak (also known as “America’s Mountain”) at a breathtaking elevation of 14,115 feet (worth the drive at 1 hour, 20 minutes).
But you won’t need your hiking boots, skis or waders for every hot spot in the area. Downtown Colorado Springs and the historic neighborhood of Old Colorado City (each about 16 minutes away) offer a tantalizing variety of restaurants, cafes, breweries, wine bars, museums, art galleries, theaters, shops and more.
Getting Around:
We recommend that you have a car or use Uber or Lyft when traveling in the Pikes Peak Region. We're happy to provide bus schedules and maps too if you'd like to use public transportation.
Other Things to Note:
AGE REQUIREMENT: Must be at least 21 years old. We cannot accommodate guests who do not meet this age requirement unless prior approval has been granted by us before check-in.
-We do not have onsite maintenance or cleaning unlike hotels but all requests will be taken care of ASAP.
-Central AC units are best kept at 68 degrees or above. Due to the lack of humidity in the area if the thermostat is lowered below 68 degrees it is possible that it can freeze the unit if it is working too hard. Unfortunately, it will take 24 hours for the unit to defrost before an HVAC specialist can service it. Our evenings are generally cool in the summer time, simply opening the windows will provide extra natural coolness.
-Please review the sleeping arrangements prior to booking.
-Please keep all trash secure in the bins. Do not leave any trash out overnight for your safety and the surrounding active wildlife in the city's area.
-The TV's offer streaming services only for guest's to use their subscriptions. Just don't forget to log out!
