This unique modern home was designed for your vacationing pleasure. Surrounded by a year round cascading stream, towering cottonwood trees, and mammoth boulders, this house truly brings the outdoors inside. 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. In addition to the hammock, the backyard has a set of 10 Adirondack chairs so that your family can enjoy a cocktail, watch some wildlife, and chat about your vacation stream side!
Your stay in this home will be unforgettable - quiet & serene setting, space to spread out, and 2 minutes from downtown Manitou Springs - it doesn't get any better!

Great location that is homey and private and is the perfect distance from local attractions

I cannot compliment the home and the management enough. The home provided everything we needed for our vacation and more. The house was beyond my expectations and everyone that come on the trip with me complimented it daily. It was in a great location that was homey and private and it was the perfect distance from local attractions. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to stay in Colorado. And the price was also a great great deal! Thanks so much!

This property had everything we needed for a little weekend getaway! To start with, the property manager was extremely helpful. The house was easy to find, clean and had all of the basics you would need. There was plenty of space for our party of 5 adults and 2 kids. The sound of the stream behind the house is fantastic. (I wish the weather had been warmer so we could have opened windows and heard it better.) And it was fun to see the deer meandering around the neighborhood. My only complaint is that the description didn't indicate that the master bedroom is open to the living room below. You have visual-privacy (the walls are about head-height) but there is no sound-privacy. It didn't make a difference for the 2 nights we were there but it would have been nice to know ahead of time. All-in-all, I would recommend this property to others!

Getaway for three generations

Review Submitted: 07/29/11
Our time in Manitou Springs was very enjoyable, thanks largely to the wonderful accommodations! The 7 adults and 3 kids (10 mo, 4, 6) had plenty of room when we wanted to be together and plenty of room to spread out when we wanted privacy. We loved the kitchen, took advantage of all 3 outdoor areas, and the older kids spent hours playing in the stream. The only minor drawback was that the temps were very hot when we arrived and there's no A/C. We made sure to plan activities for the late afternoon when the sun warmed the house up the most and put all of the provided fans to use at bedtime. After the first two days, the temps cooled back down and we had no discomfort after that. Hot temps aside, our stay far exceeded our expectations. We loved the convenient location and the special touches provided by the owners (bottled water, snack bucket). It was like stepping into the lap of luxury for a week. Thanks for helping make our vacation one to remember!

Mini Family Reunion

Review Submitted: 07/06/11
We stayed for 7 nights during the month of June with 4 small children, 4 adults and 2 senior citizens. Overall was pretty pleasant. The house is located away from the crowded downtown but not to far. It is situated on a creek which kept the kids busy. During our stay it was very hot and the house got very warm as the large picture windows are south/west facing with out any shades are curtains. Living room space is very nice but a little small for our party of 10. The kitchen is well equipped and functional with a nice balcony over looking the deck where we saw many deer and other animals. Except for the master bedroom which is very large, the other 3 bedrooms are fairly small although manageable. Same with the bathrooms. The basement is nice and cool. We had issues with the electronics but the property manager came over promptly and fixed the problem. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

We feel very lucky to have discovered this house - it very much defined our vacation, which turned out to be -- like the house -- restful, easy, convenient, and pleasant. It was wonderful to be 5 minutes away from most of the sights that we wanted to see with our children, and we loved being so close to Manitou Springs, with its fine bookstore (the Black Cat), wonderful restaurants, and nice strolling vibe. The owners clearly went out of their way to think of everything - well beyond the call of duty or necessity, and there were many details (like the iPod speakers, the cozy throw blankets, the welcome snacks and waters, etc) that were simply thoughtful. We had a problem with getting wireless access (the issue turned out to be our computers, not the house's connection), and the owners sent their property manager over as soon as they received our message. They could not have been more responsive or helpful. The house is as lovely as it appears, and we loved having so much light and windows that overlooked the peaceful stream view. The kids really enjoyed watching for the neighborhood deer. Thank you very much for making your home available to us - we loved our time there.

My husband and I have never been so satisfied with our stay in a vacation home. This house had everything you could think of for your stay. The staff goes over the top to make you feel welcome! There is nothing better than to wake up next to a stream and views that are breath taking! Thank you so much for making our vacation in Manitou so wonderful!

This house was a dream come true:) It was so relaxing and so fun to be tucked away in a wooded area! The stream that was behind the house was just so cool too, along with the deer that we saw daily! What a great way to spend some family time together in a house that had enough rooms to accomodate our kids and two grandsons! We all enjoyed this home very much..definitely would recommend this home to anyone looking for a secluded area with a classy atmosphere!!

No Place Like 'Your' Home

Review Submitted: 08/25/10
Our stay was everything and more than we had expected. The house and it's surroundings, offered special things for each and everyone in our entire family of 10, 6 adults and 4 children. The children loved the lower level game room, giving them a feeling of their own 'clubhouse.' The cooks in our family, loved what the kitchen had to offer, it's always fun using items one does not have at home. We all enjoyed eating together, either in the dining room or on the adjoining deck. We loved all the wild life that was viewable, the raccoon, the bear and especially the doe and her fawns, which we were able to see daily. The deck off of the master bedroom was a perfect place to relax with your favorite beverage and the feeling of your own private secluded place. By far one of everyone's favorite, was the stream, which offered hours of relaxing sounds and fun for all. It was a picture perfect place for photos. We would highly suggest a visit to this extraordinary home.
