The Ranger Station was perfect for our family of seven. We loved the charm of this place. The porch faces the mountains and the deer walk through the yard in the mornings. We sat on the porch and drank our coffee and watched the deer. The location is great too! It’s close to CO springs but also Woodland Park! When we arrived it was clean and welcoming. Will definitely recommend!

This was our second stay, would have been third but it was booked last trip. Will try to get next time. Location is perfect. Saw deer both times. Host is accommodating. Expect a rustic vs modern feel. Clean and provides basic essentials.

Charming with a convenient location. Could use a refresh on the interior. The dead flies by the windows were an unwelcome sight, as was the chicken bone on the kitchen window sill. Plenty of clean towels, bathroom amenities and fans. Bedroom linens showed their age. Some coffee and tea bags were provided. Lovely old porch.

This property is very nice conveniently located had everything we needed. The host is super friendly and helpful. Went way out of their way to help us when we had an accident in the area. This place is super homie and comfortable. I would suggest it to anyone. The price was very reasonable per night considering the original number of people we were thought we were bringing. Definitely would want to stay here again if we were in the area thank you so much.

Rustic former Ranger Station, plenty of room 8 of our family. Loved the full kitchen with plenty of pots, pans, and dishes (and dishwasher). View from the front porch was stunning. Located close to numerous attractions (Cave of Winds, Garden of the Gods, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, many more). Excellent restaurant right across the highway from property.

So convenient!

I cannot imagine anything more conveniently located! We were 5 miles from everything we wanted to do. We were able to eat lunch back at the Ranger Station and take breaks to recover from our spectacular hikes. We LOVED our stay. I would stay again!

Perfect location

This place was just enough away from the hustle & bustle of Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs, but super close for Garden of the Gods, Incline, Pikes Peak, COG, Manitou Cliff Dwellings & Museum, Cave of the Winds, the North Pole, & Broadmoor Falls, just to name a few! Plus the free washer & dryer was definitely a nice surprise for the tail end of a trip with 4 boys in 90 degree heat. Will love to stay again some day.

Perfect little spot!

It is an old Ranger Station so the house is old but very clean and very homey. The porch was our fave and we seen a bear! I love the history of the place and we really enjoyed it! You aren't far from town but feel like you are away from everything. Def recommend.

Delightful Place to Stay

The location is wonderful. Despite the fact that it is located right off the highway, you don't hear much highway noise. Big comfy porch with a nice yard and big trees. Outdoor picnic table and BBQ. Neat old home, too! We stayed with three kids who loved exploring up the hill and there was plenty of room to run outside in the yard also.

Ranger Station

The location has easy access to all of the the local attractions. There is a Walmart in Cascade (just down the road) to pick up groceries or other supplies. Offered a beautiful view of the mountains. Saw a couple of deer and hummingbirds during our stay. The host was very responsive and easy to reach with any questions we had. Overall a place that accommodated nine people nicely.

Great Vacation!

We brought our kids to enjoy the mountains of Colorado and had a great time! Everything was clean and the layout worked great for our family. With four kids, they loved the upstairs rooms. Very cozy place--my kids referred to it as "the cottage." When they got tired on a mountain hike, they wanted to go back to "the cottage." We had a great vacation and hope to return soon!

So happy you and your family enjoyed your visit. Sorry we didn't get to meet you. Your reservation was also a testament to the convenience and efficiency of the VRBO system since, as you know, I was climbing a "fin" hundreds of feet high in Arches Natl Park in Utah, but still had cell phone coverage, when you requested to stay at the Ranger Station.

Colorado sightseeing trip

Great location to go see many different places. At the road for Pikes Peak, 15 minutes to garden of the gods, 30 minutes to the academy, Royal Gorge is an hour trip taking the scenic route. Any communication was answered promptly but we were not bothered by anyone. There is a fantastic restaurant/wine bar across the highway. The only negative was the highway noise but that comes with the convenience of being able to get places easily. I would definitely recomend this place.

We had a great week at the Cascade Ranger Station. It was an old-timey comfortable place. There were two sets of bunk beds plus a twin bed in a tiny extra room upstairs. There was a master bedroom downstairs. The upstairs bathroom has only a toilet and sink. The downstairs bathroom has a tub and shower. Our group was six people. It was not difficult to coordinate showering each day. If we return to that area we would totally stay there again.
