About Ann Benson
Owners Ann and Chuck Benson love welcoming guests to their beautiful property in Colorado. They both love the outdoors and Colorado and have traveled extensively in Colorado and around the world. They have lived in Colorado Springs since 1986 and have extensive knowledge about the area. Chuck is a retired architect and art historian and teaches art and architectural history part time. Ann is a part time dental hygienist, and the main innkeeper. They live in the main house with their 2 cats, Max and Mim.
Ann Benson purchased this guest house in 2007
Why Ann Benson chose South Central
We purchased this property in 2007 after Ann had a dream of an adobe guesthouse that welcomed travelers and people in need of healing and restoration. The Sanctuary of the Rose officially opened its doors a year later.
What makes this guest house unique
Guests staying at The Sanctuary of the Rose will have the perfect Colorado experience of being 'in' the mountain foothills with beautiful mountain views, and yet will be close to all Colorado Springs attractions. The Sanctuary is the only guesthouse on the property it shares with the main house, and so it is quiet and private.

Perfect mountain retreat for two!
This guest house was the perfect quiet home base for our trip to Colorado Springs. Ann was lovely to book with and made check in and check out very easy. The guest house was very clean and felt like home and the amenities were excellent. It had everything we needed from delicious coffees and teas and water bottles to a cooler for a picnic or day trip. The mountain view was so pretty and it was nice to sit outside on the private patio to enjoy the crisp cool air. We would absolutely choose to stay here again and would recommend the Sanctuary of the Rose to family and friends.
Peaceful and cozy...special details you don't find elsewhere
Thank you Ann for sharing your special sanctuary with me. Loved the labyrinth and the peaceful little back patio. It was a pleasure getting to know you on our walk around the area. The deer were awesome! Every small detail has been covered in this quaint cottage. It had plenty of room to accommodate my son in the sitting area on the sleeper sofa after 4 days of tent camping, he was loving the comforts of the sanctuary!
I feel as if I have made a new friend for my move to this area in the upcoming months.
A Little Bit of Heaven on Earth
Spent a lovely week at the Sanctuary of the Rose this past March and April. With the directions provided, it was truly very easy to locate, and the minute that I stepped inside the Sanctuary, it felt like a calm and cool, refreshing drink of crystal clear water to a very thirsty, and over extended, traveler.
Every day, I took time to appreciate the gift that is this wonderful Guest House. Beautiful, natural furnishings, a warm and cozy sitting room, an adorably, well stocked kitchenette, a very attractive bathroom, and a snugly queen sized bed with fresh linens, ample blankets, pillows, and quilts, all ready to help you drift off to a smiling dreamland every night.
Morning sunshine, birdsong, a welcome outside table and chairs, deer that felt comfortable enough to visit our side yard a few times that week, the contemplative labyrinth, and such a peaceful view of the mountains.
And, I can’t say enough about Ann and Chuck. We were welcomed when we arrived, and they were very thoughtful and hospitable. Ann had taken the time to put together a wonderful notebook listing of local dining venues should one be so inclined, as well as a television channel guide, and a written explanation of how to walk the labyrinth. Even though the Main House was just next door, there is so much privacy, and, yet, they let us know that they were there if we needed them, which was very kind of them.
Whether it’s rain, snow, a blustery day, or one filled with sunshiny blue skies, if you’re looking for a break from your every day, an escape from the stress of daily living, have a book to write, a script to alter, or, maybe, just need some time away to be together, this Sanctuary is well named. It brought me back to the quiet, relaxation, and serenity that I didn’t realize that I’d been missing. Enjoy!
Amazing Experience
My Wife and I stayed at the Sanctuary of the Rose from 10/20 to 10/23 for our 7th Anniversary and we had such a great experience during our entire stay. The cabin is very clean, cute, extremely stocked and about as cozy as it gets. There are small selections of board games, movies, music (a great Billie Holiday CD as well), cable, Wi-Fi, and a brochure for what I'm sure is every single attraction within 100 miles. The cabin itself is perfectly located near all the most popular attractions but is more than adequately isolated for a quiet evening by the fireplace or a relaxing walk in the labyrinth. Miss Benson was a great host and even provided my Wife and I with a bottle of sparkling cider and a few glasses for our anniversary, it's little touches like that you will find all over the place that make the experience of the Sanctuary what it is. Don't hesitate to stay here, you're guaranteed to have a fun, relaxing and refreshing time in a beautiful location that you'll be sad to leave. We'll be back as soon as we're able, thanks Ann!
Very Grateful
My husband and I were traveling to Colorado Springs to visit my Brother and I decided to find a place for us that was special and not the usual hotel experience. I found Sanctuary of the Rose and am so grateful there was an opening for the nights we needed. The space was delightful to be in and the Labryinth was beautiful. We will definitely return! I will make sure to book our stay in advance!! Thank you Ann for creating a sanctuary for so many to enjoy.
Quiet and cozy!
Perfect location for our trip. Comfortable, cozy and quiet for a restful sleep to begin our week, and each evening after the adventure enjoyed that day. This lovely guest house was close to all our planned activities, shopping, dining, etc. Hosts were helpful, generous, informative and a very lovely couple, who provided all the niceties and necessities in this beautiful little "get-away". Deer could be seen munching in the yard and the hummingbirds were entertaining. Plan to return in the future and would recommend to family and friends!
