Custom home in the foothills of Pikes Peak. Private, secluded and quiet with fabulous views, a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city while only minutes away from all there is to see and do in the area.
This beautifully renovated home is located at the hub of the Pikes Peak Region. Just minutes away from historic Manitou Springs, Old Colorado City, Pikes Peak Highway, Barr Trail, Garden of the Gods, Red Rocks Park, Cheyenne Canyon and so much more.
The main level has over 1,400 square feet of living space. It includes; two bedrooms (one of which has a private bathroom), two bathrooms, full kitchen, laundry room, dining room, and a beautifully furnished living room. Complete with a wood burning fireplace and amazing views, it's a real Rocky Mountain High.
The lower level is a stand alone apartment with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room. It is connected to the main level with an interior set of stairs. A great way to enjoy the company of others, yet with the ability to retreat to your own private space.
In total there is 2000 square feet of living space with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living rooms, and two kitchens. There is an outside area with table and chairs, and a gas grill for your enjoyment.
Please note that the caretakers live in the very top level of the home. Their space is totally separate and private from the rest of the home and they are very quiet and respectful of your privacy.
There is so much to see and do in the Pikes Peak Region you'll enjoy a place to relax after a day full of sight-seeing.

Our extended family of 7 adults just returned from a wonderful relaxing stay at the Mountain House. We had use of the main and lower levels and enough privacy for all. Morning views aand evening sunsets were spectacular. The accommodations were wonderful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Michael and Denise.

We were so lucky to stay in this home for a week in early June. It was so nice! What a spectacular view. The home was in excellent condition. It was so quiet and relaxing. The weather was fantastic! My kids had a fabulous time and cannot wait to go back and stay in the house. We were just a few minutes from Manitou Springs and the kids' favorite part was the arcade in town. We are in LOVE with Colorado and cannot wait to come back! Thank you Michael!!

Rocky Mountain High is right! I couldn't think of a better name for it. Beautiful home, beautiful scenery, wonderful owners that were very helpful at making sure all of our needs were met. All the wildlife we saw was awesome. It's so wonderful to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city but still be just a few minutes away from all the tourist attractions. This was one of our favorite vacations and we will be sure to tell all our friends. We also hope to stay there again sometime soon. Ginger, Kansas

This was one of the best vacations we have ever had! The home is located right in the heart of the forest. I felt like an adventurer everytime I stepped outside. The home is beautiful and the location is unbelievable. If you want to experience what it's like to live in the mountains then this is the place to stay!

We completely enjoyed our one week stay this August. Everything inside was new and clean. We cooked most of our meals and appreciated the kitchen was being well stocked. The view from the deck was breathtaking. As we drank our morning coffee outside, we enjoyed looking at all the birds, wild turkeys, chipmunks, and deers. The area was very quiet & private yet only a short drive away from Manitou Springs & Colorado Springs. Would definately recommend this place to family and friends.

It was one of the most awesome places we have ever stayed. Everything we needed was there, total comfort. Breath taking views, herds of deer, flocks of turkeys, chipmunks, and about 23 bird species identifed right off the deck! Places to hike w/o having to drive somewhere. Quiet and totally relaxing. All I can say is "wonderful."

We visited in mid June 2008 for a week and stayed on the main level only. Everything was new and clean. The owner was very responsive to our needs. We were comfortable with 4 adults and 2 very small children. The drive up to the house and the view of the mountains from the living room couch was spectacular!
