Imagine a vacation where the only things you hear are the birds, a gentle breeze in the trees, and nothing but peace.
Our beautiful, 2300 square foot, three-story Woodland Park retreat is set in three completely private, tranquil, aged pine and aspen acres of high Colorado mountain woodland.
We have named our home "Woodland Park Retreat" and are offering it for rental to help us keep it for our future retirement. It has three spacious bedrooms and a huge 21-foot loft bedroom all with terrific comfy, good-quality beds, designer bathroom fixtures and a fabulous cherry wood, fully-fitted designer kitchen with talking fridge,stainless-steel appliances, Corian countertops and center island.
The house is decorated in a soft yellow cream throughout and is bright and airy with enormous windows and plush carpeting, tiled entrance and designer flooring in the kitchen.
The Great Room has a vaulted beamed ceiling with patio door straight out to the spacious redwood, wrap-around deck to view the distant and often snow-capped mountains. Pine trees weave their way through the deck and, in different seasons, you can watch the brilliant blue Stellar Jays and tiny Hummingbirds feed. Or enjoy the Mule Deer as you dine either inside or al fresco on the deck.
Go down to the lower deck and take a relaxing dip in the large, and completely private, six to eight person hot tub. This is especially magical when it is snowing or while star gazing as there is no light pollution here! If it is a winter vacation, snuggle down in front of the fires (on both levels) and sit down to enjoy a good read or a movie from our selection.
We make a promise that you will have a wonderfully peaceful (or busy if you so wish!) vacation in our fully-furnished and well-equipped home with great quality mattresses, plenty of space and lots of conveniences including satellite television, 42" plasma HDTV, DVD, VCR sound system, etc. Every thing you could need has been catered to including a further family area for lounging, games (a variety of board games provided together with table and chairs).

Woodland Park Retreat Vacation

Our family stayed in Mid-October, 2007 and found the retreat a most inspiring experience. On our first night, we had a small snow shower, which looked incredibly beautiful on the trees, etc. The jacuzzi on the deck was a family favorite; nice and hot, with picturesque views. The house was incredible, especially the kitchen, with all its wares. We fixed some very appetizing meals while at the retreat. My children just loved the loft and the playroom downstairs. All in all, our time at the retreat was more than we could have imagined and we can't wait to come back.

We decided for a Christmas gift this year for our 3 adult kids and their significant others, that we'd rent a cabin in the mountains for a week's vacation together. Your Woodland Park Retreat was everything we hoped for! It was spacious enough for all of us and with plenty of bathrooms for everyone! We made all of our meals there, so the dishwasher really got a work out (I do not have one but now I want one! Hee hee!) We spent the majority of the time on the spacious deck enjoying the peace and quiet that the mountains bring. The first day out there, my husband and I got to experience the dusting of snow which was forecasted...but it turned out to be 11 inches! It was beautiful tho and only stuck around for a couple days. Cassie was very prompt and helpful at any questions we had when we were inquiring about her place. Charlie and Sue, the caretakers, were also very helpful and we enjoyed meeting Charlie when he came to scoop the snow! The property was very clean and well maintained. We spent a day and went to Garden of the Gods and up Pike's Peak which was just a short distance away from the cabin. We also took a drive thru Decker to Pine Junction which is a beautiful drive. We do suggest 4 wheel drive for the lane getting to the cabin...especially when there is snow on the ground! Also there are quite a few steps so if someone can't do steps...this wouldn't be for them. Thanks again, Cassie for sharing your Woodland Park Retreat with us and our family!

Our family of 9 enjoyed the quiet tucked away large home. Every one had a place to get away whether it was inside with the many available bedrooms and large open den or out on the porch. Younger famliy members were happiest in the "kids cabin" or the woods. We were visiting our son for parents weekend at the USAF Academy so this was a perfect escape. It was a bit of a drive to the Academy, however, once we landed back at the house after the football game we were glad to be away from the freeways and noise. My personal favorite memory was lingering over my morning coffee delighted by the thirsty humming birds just outside the window!

We stayed in August 2011for nine days and this place is amazing. No detail forgotten. Beautiful home with lots of property and wildlife. VERY clean and the hot tub and massage bed is great after a day of exploring. I could go on and on about this property but do yourself a favor and book it. We have been to the area many times and this is the only place we will be staying from now on.

Woodland Park Retreat

This wonderful home worked perfectly for our family of 7. It is very well maintained and was exactly as represented in the description and photos. It is far enough out if you enjoy your privacy and quiet, but still close enough for an easy drive to all the Pikes Peak area attractions. The drive out from Woodland Park is just beautiful. The remodeled kitchen is very well stocked and the grill out on the deck is new, large and of good quality. We enjoyed the view from the deck, especially the sunsets behind the mountains. There was a hummingbird feeder that was frequently visited by 1-2 little guys. We also enjoyed the visits by at least 3 does; one with a fawn and the other with twins. Another spent a whole morning sunning herself by the driveway. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed some quality family time putting together the puzzles and playing with the cards that were supplied for us. Cassie was very helpful and friendly and responded promptly to all communications. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

We are home after the most amazing 2-week Colorado vacation in this beautiful home. This property is perfect for 8 adults; giving everyone room to join together for meals and fun, while providing enough space for each person to be on their own when wanted. The house is beautiful. with everything plus more than was described in the listing. It was very clean and well furnished and the kitchen was well stocked with the basics. We did a lot of "home cooking" and the kitchen was great to work in. Cassie was wonderful to work with during the time we were making arrangements for the trip and Charlie and Susan were great to answer questions during our stay. The deer came every day and even lay down at the foot of rhe stairs on hot days. Woodland Park is a very charming town -- don't miss the incredible donuts at the Donut Mill. The house is located close to so many activities and attractions (Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, hiking trails, etc). It was also centrally located to Estes Park and Royal Gorge and we found it the perfect place to come home to again. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting a large home with great accommodations in a centrally-located area. Thank you for helping to make our Colorado vacation so comfortable and memorable!

Our family of 8 fit perfectly in this home, and we loved both the home itself and the Woodland Park location. The kitchen was well supplied, the home was comfortably furnished, and there was plenty of room for all of us. It was centrally located, offered picturesque views, and even the deer were accommodating. The property is well maintained, and both the owner and property manager are friendly and responsive. We spent two weeks there and loved every bit of it.

Our family of 7 adults and 3 children all stayed in this house and fit perfectly. The house had everything we could need and was well cared for/maintained. The only trouble we had with the house came with the upstairs bathrooms. Only one shower upstairs-other full bath has only a bathtub-and no locks. This made for some embarrassing moments and my in-laws had to go downstairs to shower rather than using their own attached bathroom:( Other than that little glitch it was amazing! We will definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway.

We used to go to Gulf Shores, Alabama for spring break but we have found a new destination! This vacation rental was just awesome. There was plenty of room for us (7) and we didn't even use the entry level bedroom or bathroom.The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook with/eat on and linens were also provided.What a bonus the hot tub and massage bed was!This home is nicely decorated and clean. The view from the upper deck was beautiful ,especially the view of the mountains. Mule deer visited us a couple of times and one day they spent the whole afternoon observing us and visa versa! There are many things to do and see! The Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, the Cliff Dwellings,Manitou Springs,Seven Falls, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and the Air Force Academy are within an half hour to an hour's drive.The only downside to this retreat is that we had to leave!! We will definitely stay here again.
