Located just a few short miles from such attractions as CRIPPLE CREEK, MANITOU SPRINGS, the GARDEN OF THE GODS, the AIR FORCE ACADEMY, and several other wonderful things to do, you will find our little mountain home. We call it Bearhaven and standing at the door to greet you will be one of our collection of chain saw carved bears holding a welcome sign.
The home is nestled snug in the side of a hill facing Pike's Peak and looking down at a valley where there are many deer and elk. There is a spotter scope and binoculars for our guests to enjoy the wildlife. We are so secluded that man-made lights do not get in the way of starlight! There is a telescope for viewing the Milky Way, which is breathtaking from the patio at night.
The master bedroom has a TV and there is a TV with a built-in VCR and DVD player in the living room. Basic cable is provided. The fully-equipped kitchen has a microwave as well as a dishwasher. The washer and dryer is behind louvered doors in the kitchen.
We are located 31 miles from Colorado Springs, 100 miles from Denver, 135 miles from Aspen, and only 24 miles from Cripple Creek. In Cripple Creek you will find many casinos if you want to try your luck at the machines or tables. Down the road toward Colorado Springs, you will find Manitou Springs with many wonderful shops. Don't forget the Cave of the Winds.
This is a delightful spot for a weekend or a week. Walk the woods or walk the local shops. Relax and enjoy the mountains with BEARHAVEN as your home base!
Oh, by the way, we call the cabin Bearhaven because of our collection of bear things, NOT because of bears that roam close to the cabin. We don't want you to be afraid to chance a stay!!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Jim and I have been fortunate to have traveled all over this country and many others. The beauty and peacefulness of our property in Divide is unparalleled. We go up there, sit on the patio, look up at the stars, and breathe a contented sigh. The deer gather around the cabin without fear as we sit outside and watch them. Jim is an executive with an oil and natural gas company and I'm a special ed teacher - not jobs without stress. Bearhaven is our haven from the rat race. We hope you will choose it to be yours.
