The Nest was a cozy place to stay and within walking distance to all the shops. It was clean and even ready for us to check in early, which was a nice bonus. The bathroom is small but totally doable for two people. The bed felt closer to a full than a queen, but it didn’t bother us much since we’re used to a queen at home. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend it.

Hobbit like, small but cute and cozy! Espresso, and cookies upon arrival. Perfect for the autumn stay. Hot tub at night under the stars. The space was clean and conveniently located by all the shops. Food and fun at your fingertips. Red Dog coffee around the corner was the best! We came for the Emma coffin races and had a blast!

About the host

Hosted by Christopher Dwyer

Host profile image
Chris and Jillian are community-builders and believers in the power of positive intention. When he's not managing his small network or distinctive vacation rental properties in the Pike's Peak area, Chris works as a mindset coach and yoga instructor. Jillian is a master herbalist and operates a sound healing and tea meditation center for clients and small groups.

Why they chose this property

The 1919 Main House, 1896 Cottage (aka The Nest), Hobbit House and 1/3 acre grounds are a surprising mix of private and ultra-convenient.

The owners are evolving their property into a retreat environment where people, groups, and communities can learn how to become more self-reliant, abundant, and joyful in this time of societal transition.

What makes this property unique

Boutique, private cottage that feels like it's in a nature bubble, but that is half a block from historic downtown. Inquire with hosts about local connections and additional on-site and off-site services and packages, from sound healing treatments and herbs, to mindset coaching, yoga instruction, to discounts at local restaurants and the local spa.
