Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2008

My husband was born and raised in Colorado. He loves the mountains and can not imagine living away from COLORADO ROCKY MOUNTAINS! If he buys a property it has to offer a beautiful mountain view!
I came to Colorado in 2000. I took me some time to get used to high altitude and lots of coffee. I enjoy Colorado history(especially Colorado Gold Rush), gorgeous nature and abundant wildlife.
Our kids think that GARDEN OF THE GODS is the best playground in the nature! Awesome rock climbing and exercising in open air.

Why the Owner Chose Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS is a wonderful place to spend vacation: a lot of attractions(we have not covered all of them yet - too many!) There is something for everyone: great biking trails, white water rafting, rock climbing, mineral springs... You can witness the beauty of Seven Falls, take a Geo Venture in the Cave of the Winds, tame the rapids on an exhilarating rafting trip through the Royal Gorge, hike or rock climb in Red Rock Canon Open Space, take the Cog Railway to the summit of Pikes Peak, view the breathtaking Royal Gorge from the world's highest suspension bridge, try your luck at the 15 Cripple Creek casinos...

Lots of things to do - we have not done all of them yet!

The Unique Benefits of this CABIN

We love the location of the cottage: two parks with playgrounds for kids are right by. Library, supermarket, restaurants, antique shops, museums are a walking distance from the cottage. You will be only four blocks away from OLD COLORADO CITY HISTORIC DISTRICT - the first Colorado Territorial Capital. The oldest area in the city is comprised of OLD VICTORIAN houses in the age up to 120 years.
The cottage is located only 2 miles from Garden of the Gods!

    • We had a wonderful time in Old Colorado City and would happily recommend your home to anyone vacationing in the area. The house was extremely close to many area attractions and fully equipped with everything we needed to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you for the t-shirts and breakfast basket in the kitchen; these were little touches that made a huge difference to us. Thank you again for everything that you did to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. We hope to return in the future.

    • Colorado was amazing in the fall. We checked out 'cave of the winds', and walked all over Manitou Springs and Old Colorado and much more. We were very busy. Thank you for the comfort of a wonderful home. It was really a home away from home. The perfect place, and our son really enjoyed the toys and the books.

    • We hung out at the pool down the street the first night. We enjoyed the cabin ("Cozy" - my son pronounced it). We went to Pike's Peak and the cave (can't recall it's name). We ate downtown and played skeeball at the arcade. We also went rafting. We tried out the mineral springs water. All in all, we had an excellent time. Thanks for everything.

    • The stay was wonderful. I love the town of Manitou. It really brought us into the past. I did not expect the such a retro atmosphere. Very relaxing and peaceful. The location of your cabin was perfect. We found all of the back roads from your property such as El Paso Road taking us to Garden of the Gods. And Washington taking us up to HWY 24 to gain access to The Ancient Ruins and Cave of the Winds. We did not realize that the North Pole was closed at this time so we were a little bummed about that but we found the arcade in town. We went there a couple of times and my kids really enjoyed themselves. We went swimming in the public pool near by. Old Colorado City was nice. We ate a the Pizza restaraunt there. Really good but a bit expensive. My wife said that her favorite meal was at Charlie's Pit BBQ. We did a lot of cooking at home too, though. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your home. We had a wonderful vacation. Warmest regards, Y.D.
