Base your vacation from OLDE POSTE COTTAGE -- site of Cascade's old post office in the heart of historic Cascade, at the foot of the Pike's Peak Highway. This Victorian cottage, restored and furnished to reflect its genteel past, will return you to an earlier time in Cascade's history when folks came up Ute Pass to vacation among the mountain Ponderosa, away from the bussle of city life. The livingroom walls display prints and photos of Cascade and Olde Poste Cottage from the Ute Pass Historical Society, as well as chronicling the drama of the American Post from the Revolution, through the exciting Pony Express, to the color and charm of the stamps and postcards found in today's U.S. Post Office. The cottage's bedrooms are lovingly decorated to make you feel welcome and comfortable.
Perfect for four adults and up to five kids, or three couples and three kids, this historical Victorian cottage will be your headquarters for both summer and winter activities in the Manitou/Colorado Springs and the Pike's Peak region. (see the AREA ACTIVITIES" button on our Happy Trails webpage for great links and discount coupons).
The Cottage is completely furnished with everything you need to be comfortable on your vacation. You'll want to return again and again!

The memories and pictures of lovely late summer in Colorado will be cherished ones." Ft Wayne, IN

"We love the Olde Poste Cottage! It was so much more cozy and warm than any hotel! It was fantastic being able to cook meals for the whole family.

Wegers, Magallons & Brantleys - TX & FL
“We had an AWESOME time on our vacation! The cottage was a perfect home-away-from-home. The location here is excellent and the owners were very helpful (yes, we tried the hike at Crags!) and attentive. We grilled out twice during our stay and enjoyed meals at “home” each night of our stay. We loved the attractions too – Garden of the Gods, Cliff Dwellings, Cave of the Winds, Cog Railway, Seven Falls. Also went horseback riding and whitewater rafting with Noah’s Ark in Buena Vista, and saw Royal Gorge and Molly Kathleen Mine in Cripple Creek. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!!” Matt & Martha Cummings & Family – Memphis, TN

My family enjoyed our stay at the Olde Poste. What a welcoming and relaxing place to stay, close enough to the Academy to make travel quick and easy, but just far enough away to provide a relaxing place to unwind and rest. If you like to get away this is the place for you, clean, comfortable beds, kitchen to cook in, and deer that stop by out the front window for viewing entertainment. Thank you so much for making our time in Colorado Springs so memorable.

We stayed in the Olde Poste for 2 months while working in Colorado. We were very pleased with our stay there from the awesome location to the decorations. It had a kitchen, fully furnished for cooking any meal, and a back deck with a grill and picnic table for eating in the great outdoors. We enjoyed watching the deer that would come into the yard about 3 nights every week to graze just before sundown. It was a terrific location that seemed miles away but took less than 10 minutes to make it to Colorado Springs. There was also something so comforting about this cabin that we slept better here than anywhere else we have ever been, 2 months and not one bad night of sleep. Overall a fantastic place. Justin and Sarah from North Carolina.

Our family created a lot of memorable times while staying at Olde Poste. The house wasn't too fancy, but was very functional and practical....just what we needed. There is some yard place for our children to play and the twin bunk beds were a hit highlight as well for them. Apart from some traffic noise, the location was ideal and very close to all kinds of sights. Pikes Peak road is literally a stone's throw away, Garden of the gods a few minutes, Manitou Springs, Seven Falls, and on an on. The house was very clean on our arrival and the owners very pleasant and professional to deal with. This was our first experience with a vrbo and it was a very positive one.

We stayed at the Olde Poste in summer of 2009. The cottage was the perfect home-away-from-home for our family of 6. The location was excellent and the owners were very helpful and attentive. Cottage was clean and well cared-for. We grilled out twice during our stay and enjoyed meals at "home" each night of our stay. We loved the attractions too -- Garden of the Gods, Cliff Dwellings, Cave of the Winds, Cog Railway, Seven Falls. Also went horseback riding and whitewater rafting in Buena Vista, and saw Royal Gorge and Molly Kathleen Mine in Cripple Creek.

This rental was much more than we expected. The kitchen was great! It had everything we needed and made our stay so much easier with the kids and affordable because we could cook. The personal touches (like the cookies and decor) made it really nice. It really felt like staying with family.
