You will love sitting on the wraparound, covered porch in the afternoons watching the rain fall or soaking up the sun. There is also a completely enclosed porch on the 2nd floor perfect for those colder days when you just want to stay inside and drink coffee and watch the snow fall! We can’t begin to tell you how neat and unique these porches are. Providing plenty of shade for the home and yard, you will find the 2nd largest tree in downtown Colorado Springs. On the back of the home is an oversized redwood deck with a year round hottub and outdoor firepit for those romantic evenings after the kids are in bed! If you are a BBQ lover, there is a fully equipped BBQ grill ready for your use.
We are located in a beautiful area of downtown Colorado Springs less than one mile East of the downtown area.

** Please note, even though we've done a massive remodel, many guests stay at our home and keeping the carpets clean, the house dusted and the yard looking great can prove to be an ongoing challenge. We have a professional cleaning crew that cleans after each guest departs and also have a maintenance crew that comes on a regular basis.
Our home is very warm and welcoming, but if you expect a home that is pristinely clean and the yard is perfect, you may want to look elsewhere. We believe we provide a great home for the value compared to staying at a hotel. If there are any questions about this, please ask us. Our recent reviews speak for themselves. :) **

Property comes in an AS IS condition. If guest(s) are unhappy with the condition of the property for any reason, the owner still reserves the right to retain any and all payments made by guest(s) and will be at the owners discretion to refund any payments made.

Owner's Map of Colorado Springs
We were born and raised here in Colorado and absolutely love it here. I (Jason) lived in Colorado Springs for 3 years in this home before moving to Denver to take on a job that is there. During my time in the Springs, I fell in love with the surrounding area and all the things there are to do (Pikes Peak, the Incline, Garden of the Gods, Red Rocks Canyon to name a few). we certainly miss our home but are excited that other's can enjoy bringing their families and enjoy building memories together. Please let us know if you have any questions whatsoever! :)

We came to the Spring for a family wedding at the Air Force Academy, and decided to stay a few extra days to enjoy the other great attractions of the area. The house was perfect. We had 7 adults and our 1 year old staying in the house and it worked wonderful for what we needed! There was plenty of room for everyone to move around. Three bathrooms for everyone to shower and get ready for the day, and we all had hot water! Jason's Cedar House is absolutely perfect whether you just need a place to sleep, or are looking for somewhere to stay that allows you to have gatherings. The kitchen was wonderful to have for meals. We definitely saved money by eating in when we could. Renting a house beats a hotel room anytime, and this was no exception. Thanks Jason!

Staying in Cedar House was a very unique experience for my husband and me! We lived in this house in 1968 and 1969 when my husband was stationed at Fort Carson. It was our first home together as newlyweds, and later our daughter was born at the hospital on base. At the time, the house was divided into 5 apartments but now it is a gorgeously renovated single family home with plenty of room for a large group of people! (Our entire apartment was the current kitchen and dining area!) Cedar House is huge and well equipped. The original hardwood floors are beautifully refinished. There are lovely, wraparound porches and three full bathrooms. It was very convenient to have a large washer and dryer, too. The location is fantastic - very close to many scenic attractions. The rent is quite reasonable, too, for such a big house. The landlord Jason is very friendly and extremely kind. If you are planning a trip to Colorado Springs, I highly recommend this property! You will not be disappointed! We enjoyed reliving old memories - but you can make new ones!

Our family of 10 stayed here the week of June 22. The house was great, lots of room! Really nice to have a computer to look up all the attractions, etc. When we show our pictures everyone comments on how nice and large the house is. We made friends with some of the squirrels in the neighborhood too! We had a great time and made lots of memories. We went to Pikes Peak, Rafting, Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine, The Airforce Academy, Royal Gorge Railroad, Coors Field, Castle Rock Outlet Mall. We did alot in 7 days. We were able to do all this because the house is located in such a convenient place, close to everything. We would definitely stay here again. Jason was exceptionally nice and helpful. Colorado is beautiful. We loved it!

Comment Text: We recently stayed in this wonderful home for 6 nights. This house is just like a home away from home! We filled the rooms for a very special family reunion time with our children. Our son is in the Air Force and stationed in Colorado Springs, and we were all able to visit our first grandson who was only a week old when we arrived. The house was perfect for us all to gather in, have family dinners together and just relax and enjoy each other. The bedrooms are private, quiet and comfortable. There are enough bathrooms for everyone, you never have to stand in line! The washer and dryer are so convenient and make it so you don't have to over pack. The kitchen is wonderful, fully equipped and big enough for a whole family to work in. The dining table is huge and great for family dinners and game nights! The living room and the big TV are perfect for an evening of movie entertainment,(or so you don't miss American Idol!) and Jason even has a laptop and the internet at your disposable so you can keep up with your emails and have an instant reference as to where to find things in Colorado. We visited in February, and we were able to cook steaks on the outside gas grills and be in the hot tub! It was wonderful as we are from Western NY where February means nothing but very cold temperatures and lots of snow...so it was almost like a beach vacation for us! There are so many amenities in the house that make it so comfortable. When you can stay all together in a house rather than a hotel room for the same price, it's the way to go! Jason is so easy to work with and makes the whole transaction so simple, and he is as far away as a phone call if you need anything. If we ever need a place to stay in Colorado again, this is where we will go...if it's available! Thank you Jason for such a wonderful family time, and such a wonderful house. We will be back!!

We had a wonderful time at your victorian home! we were there for a wedding and family reunion. We used all the bedrooms and found accomodations very adequate. We gathered from parts of the world and USA--Maylasia, Germany, Oregon, Virginia, Oklahoma, Arkansas. It was a houseful of laughter and happiness. We were so thankful to be able to all be together rather than being spread out all over in motel rooms. It was a great time and by the way a beautiful wedding. Jason was very quick to address the few minor issues that came up Thanks again, we would love to stay there again M. Moffitt

Our stay at the home was wonderful, we loved the hot tub - and the house was well stocked with everything that we needed to feel at home. The kids loved having space to play, and we loved the large TV in the living room. We will definitely be back!
