If you are looking for a fabulous, spacious, "spoil yourself" home... nestled on the side of Pikes Peak with tall pine trees, wildflowers, wildlife, and world class fishing, hiking... all minutes from Colorado Springs, look no further!
Our beautiful home is in the perfect location...7 minutes West of Colorado Springs, so close to everything, but in a peaceful setting with tall trees and lots of privacy. To the West is Woodland Park, a 5 minute drive to a brand new Walmart and lots of other quaint shops. 2 minutes from the mountain town of Green Mountain Falls with a small fishing lake, new playground, summer pool and wonderful restaurants. What else could you ask for!
We welcome you to our 3200 square foot, custom, mountain home, furnished with two bedrooms upstairs, including a fantastic, huge master suite with breathtaking views, king size comfy bed, sitting area, surround sound cable TV and a custom private bathroom with soaking tub, double sinks and a 12 jet - waterfall shower! All linens are ON the beds when you arrive, so you do not have to begin your trip by making the beds!
The second bedroom upstairs is delightful and spacious, with vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan, special lighting, a queen size bed, surrounded by stuffed animals...even a rocker. The closet in this room is huge with lots of shelves. This bedroom also has a Pella slider which takes you out to the back deck and incredible views of Pikes Peak.
Enjoy the "living" area that spans the living room, dining room (with fireplace) and a cozy sitting area...all on the upper level with hardwood floors. This area is full of windows and light with a huge "L" shaped couch, big screen TV with cable and surround sound, DVD player and sound system. Enjoy a book or a movie from our collection....there is lots of room to spread out and get lost in the mountains! Also located here is the high speed internet hook-up on it's own private desk, a great place to check your emails.
Now we move on to the downstairs....which has a separate bedroom suite plus a fabulous recreation room complete with darts, TV, living room area and the best feature of all....a custom bar for entertaining! There is a full bath downstairs and an enclosed laundry room with top of the line front load washer and dryer.
You can exit the house from four different areas....all leading to either a raised deck or private flagstone patio. There is nice patio furniture to enjoy the outdoors, gas grill (you provide the propane) and a very private setting for you to relax and enjoy the Rocky Mtns. The house sits on 1 1/2 acres so you have lots of privacy and will truly feel like you've escaped to the mountains!
The house is baby proofed with outlet covers, hearth covers and a locking secure gate at the top of the stairs. A full size Eddie Bauer highchair and a full size crib are included, with sheets, a rocker and changing table to make your stay super convenient. We know you need this to be your home away from home, so lots of books and toys are provided as well for those special little people.
There is so much to do in this area with wonderful quaint restaurants, hiking and a lake with a new play ground, fishing and ducks, plus the city of Colorado Springs is only 10 minutes away! Skiing is easy, jump on highway 24 and your only a hour and 1/2 away. Rafting is 45 minutes to the Royal Gorge, horseback riding is right up the hiway in Woodland Park, swimming is 2 minutes away in Green Mtn Falls and snowmobiling is right around the corner too.
We invite you to enjoy our home-away-from-home! We love it... and we know you will too!

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1993
Why the Owner Chose Colorado Springs
My husband and I purchased this home the year we were married and have loved it ever since! It is the ideal location...in the mountains, very private...but minutes from Woodland Park and Colorado Springs. It started as a small summer home back in 1932 and after a massive expansion over 7 years ago...it is now a huge, spacious, beautiful, custom home that "6" years of guests have enjoyed and raved about.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The true benefit of our home is the LOCATION, which our guests comment on, over and over, in our guest book. You are in the mountains, yet minutes from the major city of Colorado Springs and Woodland Park. It is the like getting the best of both worlds! It is absolutely beautiful with spectacular views!

I just wanted to send you a quick e-mail to thank you for opening your home up to my family. We had such a relaxing, fun vacation in Co. Springs. It was just what we needed! The area was absolutely beautiful and your home provided a wonderful get-away for us. We hope to come again in the future.

We had a wonderful time at your home. My grandchildren could not have been happier, they felt right at home with all the toys. Thank you for allowing us to stay. Maybe we can do it again next year.

Hi Nancy, We had just a delightful time in your home. Eric and I have a 16 month old named Ian and your home was just perfect for our little guy. Big Bear got his share of hugs and he loved playing with all the toys. Thank you again, we are exhausted today from a very fun time.

The house was beautiful, wonderful, spacious... did I say beautiful?!? We got some snow too! I can honestly say, there are not many places where I'd be happy to be stranded, but a mountainside house in Cascade tops the list. The trip was wonderful. I have already given the VRBO link to many family members and friends.

We had a lovely visit in your Colorado home. The house was comfortable with all the conveniences. I especially appreciated having a washer, dryer and dishwasher. So often when you rent a house they are not available. The wireless internet was also a bonus. Tracking each days practice results and the race helped keep us in touch with what was going on. My husband won the PPIHC race for his class too!
