- Minimum stay:1 night
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
We have a 5 bed 3 full bath Victorian home built in 1908 in the heart of Downtown Colorado Springs. Over $100k in renovations were completed in 2005 and the house comes fully equipped and ready for your stay!
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. There are plenty of restaurants and we are close to the Broadmore Hotel (10 minutes), the US Olympic Training Center (2 minutes), World Arena (10 minutes), Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (15 minutes), Garden of the Gods (15 minutes), Seven Falls (15 minutes), Old Colorado City Historic District (7 Minutes), Cave of the Winds, Manitou Springs (20 minutes), US Air Force Academy (20 minutes), Colorado College (3 minutes) and Pikes Peak to name a few.

** 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. :) **

We had a FABULOUS Christmas week in Colorado, Springs. Jason and Andrea thank you so much for opening up your home to us. We were all very comfortable and very happy. Your home is beautiful and it is located perfectly in town. I sincerely recommend this home to anyone that wants to visit beautiful Colorado. My family and I are looking forward to visiting your beautiful state again. The only suggestion I have would be to have the window units taken out during the winter season. We could feel the cold coming into from the windows and the heater had a hard time keeping the house warm. Other than that it was absolutely wonderful. Thank you again!!

Great October Experience

We stayed here for 6 days and nights in October. The house is absolutely wonderful. We're from the south and got to enjoy a dusting of snow on one night. The spaciousness of the house is great. The downstairs wrap-around porch was a wonderful amenity, and even more so the upstairs wrap-around glassed-in balcony. Our son just moved here, so he was able to stay with us also. With 5 bedrooms and 3 baths we had more than enough room. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. We especially liked the office space. We were centrally located for access to shopping and attractions. The house was easy to get to and from. We had a good view of the mountains in the distance, which we very much wanted. The fall colors were beautiful. From the house we had an easy 15-20 minute drive to Pikes Peak railway, Garden of the Gods, Cripple Creek and casinos, the Citadel Mall, Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City. The only negatives were no fireplace and the old-style bathtubs with curtain rings were not very stable when taking showers. But the plusses far outweighed those few minuses. We are truly looking forward to our next trip to Colorado Springs because we would love to stay here again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

A Great Place for a Family Gathering

The place has 5-BRs and we filled them all up with family in town for the wedding of our daughter. The location is good. Some street noise, but really not noticable. There is plenty of bedding, and everyone really felt like home, with the kitchen, laundry and screened pourch. TV and internet worked well, and it is within 2-miles of Walmart, Safeway, Walgreens, and downtown is about 5-blocks away. A great place for any large event. We couldn't be more pleased.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+.

Having arrived from the UK via Texas, we found the house comfortable, well-equipped and spacious for our party of 6 adults and an infant - plus occasionally our son who was about to be married. The deck and the hot-tub proved popular, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen/diner was the hub each day. Many thanks, Ken and Ros BryanRecommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Our first ever trip to the States and this for our son's wedding, he's married a lovely young lady from The Springs, so location of the house was absolutely ideal for our party, nerves jangling expectations high! Loved the house - style, layout and the facilities, the younger members of our party loved the hot tub especially being served food and beverages by you know who! Loved early morning Squirrel watching from the deck. Loved the early morning peace and quiet.Hired a car and the proximity of the house in relation to Downtown and dare I say to Wal Mart was to prove very useful Had fun working out the American cooker - quite different to what we are used to! Contrary to some of the reviews that we read before making the trip - we found all of the basics that you would need are provided - with the exception of a kettle! our pleasure to provide one for future guests - you never know it may be some more Brits! Gripes - 2 minor ones - found a couple of items that had been left by previous occupants that had been missed by the cleaners and the non-collection of the trash (see got used to the lingo) on the due date meant that when we were due to vacate there were a number of bags, but the cleaner who came in very kindly took them away.so no major dramas there. The Springs and the surrounding area turned out to be everything that we had hoped for and more, it truly is a beautiful area. Should we ever visit the Springs for any length of time again we would have no hesitation in renting this lovely house again - many thanks from the DonkeysRecommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It's a great location for mountain trips, Air Force Academy activities, and is close to the downtown strip where there are great restaurants and shops. The fact that it is right on a busy street (Platte) threw me at first--I had pictured it nestled into a quiet neighborhood, but the street sounds were not a problem. The kitchen is well equipped and the downstairs laundryroom/bathroom were great to have. Our extended family of 10 fit into the house easily, and we enjoyed the computer room/living room when we were actually there. And the fact that there is plenty of parking is a real plus--at times we had our rental car, my sister's car, our daughter's rental car and our Academy grad's car there, but there was space for everyone. And finally, Jason Phillips, owner, was so easy to work with and took the time to install air conditioner units one day while we were there since the weather was expected to be hot the next few days. We would recommend this property gladly!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

About the owner: 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! :) Jason and Andrea
