We have named our property "Peaceful Abode" due to the nature of the property. During the summer months you can enjoy relaxing in the backyard without the distractions of city life. Enjoy the hummingbirds that frequent the property, in addition to many birds, butterflies, fox, deer, and if you are very lucky you may even see a bear.
The property is located on two plus acres and is easily accessible year round. It has an abundance of pine trees and wildflowers. It also borders Pike National Forest, which is accessible through the backyard and provides hundreds of acres of wildflowers, hiking trails, etc. It is located just over a mile from Manitou Lake - a fabulous picnic, fishing, and hiking area which has an awesome view of Pike's Peak. An eight mile paved biking trail which leads to Woodland Park is within a mile of the property.
There is so much to see and do in the area. The property is conveniently located just twelve minutes from Woodland Park or forty-five minutes from Colorado Springs. Some of the activities include: fishing, biking, sightseeing, wonderful eating establishments in Woodland Park and Colorado Springs, Air Force Academy, USA Olympic Center, Cave of the Winds, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, historic Colorado City, and many more wonderful activities to fill your day all within an hour's drive.
Cripple Creek is home to gambling and sight seeing which is only forty-five minutes away. The property is only twenty minutes from Deckers, which is home to gold-medal fishing. There is also cross-country and downhill skiing within an hour and a half drive.
The house is very open and spacious. It has vaulted ceilings, fresh paint, and newer carpet. It has newer comfortable beds including a king-size in the master bedroom, a queen in the second bedroom, and two twin beds in the third. There is also a full-size pull-out sofabed. Last but not least, there is a hot tub for you to enjoy starry nights during the summer months and snow softly landing on your face during the winter.
We ask that you do not smoke on the property. You can bring your dog as long as you utilize the dog-run. Cats are not allowed. We know that you will gain some wonderful memories during your stay in our "peaceful abode" while visiting our beautiful state. |
