You'll never guess that you are less than 2 minutes to downtown Manitou Springs, 5 minutes to Old Colorado City, and 10 minutes to downtown Colorado Springs.

This is the ultimate vacation getaway!

The home features three story windows and gives the perception of living in a tree house with a green tree canopy in the summer, gold leaves in the fall and views of Pikes Peak in the winter. The master bedroom offers a relaxing retreat complete with king size bed, walk-out roof top deck with chaise loungers, fireplace, Asian style pocket doors, and walk-in closet. You will never want to leave the spa style 5-piece master bath with a stand-alone European tub, rain shower, dual sinks, exposed steel beam, modern tile and custom concrete touches. The other bedrooms all include queen size beds with high-end pillow top mattresses and feature contemporary furniture and fixtures. The upstairs bathroom offers a modern vessel sink and jetted tub. The downstairs bathroom is equally as unique and has an integrated two tone concrete sink with fiber optic stars that twinkle over a mountain range when you wash your hands. The commercial style kitchen is fully equipped to make cooking at home a pleasurable experience. You'll find stainless steel countertops and appliances, hanging pot rack, glass cook top, and modern cabinets. There are two primary dining areas - one indoors and one on an outdoor cantilevered dining deck - both of which allow you to enjoy the stream year round. Downstairs you will find a TV / game room with lounging couch, fireplace, and foosball table. This recreation room walks out into the private backyard which features a hammock and steps that spiral into the stream. Your stay in this home will be unforgettable.

    • I didn't know a creekside home with Pikes Peak views existed in Manitou Springs. I loved sitting on the decks and relaxing with the sound of the water nearby. What a great place to vacation for a week. Thanks again

    • If you're looking for a place to stay that is right in Manitou Springs, yet still has privacy and a quiet, wooded setting, this property is a great choice. We enjoyed its modern feel, and appreciated the coziness of the three fireplaces! Our family enjoys cooking and grilling when vacationing, and we found this home's kitchen to be one of the best equipped of all we've stayed in. Sleeping to the sound of the stream running outside our door was a real treat!

    • I recently visited this property as a possible rental for USAFA Graduation 2010. It is simply amazing! The photos on VRBO are good; however, they do not convey the artistry of this place. Every detail has been considered. For example, the photo on VRBO does not capture stainless steel modular design of the kitchen or the stunning view from the dining table. I kept asking questions about the materials used to construct and design this house. The setting is convenient to everything in and around COS yet the stream and trees give the place an atmosphere of seclusion. As you can see, I was stunned by the design and beauty of this home.

    • I stayed here in July 2009 for 3 nights, and the house is AMAZING! First and foremost is the creek running along the backyard, from which you can hear the gentle bubbling from the deck. You can walk down steps to the creek and get up to your hips in ice cold Colorado water! It's beautiful. The inside of the house is perfectly done, with gorgeous views of the trees from all rooms, but especially the living room. The main level bathroom has a unique sink that has tiny lights in it that light up when you turn the water on - they look like stars over a mountainscape. You have to see it to fully appreciate it - it's cool! There are fireplaces on all 3 levels. The upstairs bathroom is a work of art - I don't think the pictures here do it justice, but you'll see. This is in a quiet, private neighborhood up a hill about 3/4 mile from the main road. There is a nice little restaurant that is walking distance, about 1/4 mile, away for those nights that you don't want to cook in. If you are looking for a true quiet retreat to just unwind, relax, and take in the beauty of Colorado, this is it. It's a really tranquil, peaceful place - if you're looking for a party atmosphere, this isn't it. There is a swimming pool just down on the main road, the Manitou Swimming Facility I think it's called, if you're into swimming. And all the great restaurants in Old Colorado City are close by. I highly recommend staying here.
