About this property

Woodland Escape~Modern Victorian~3 Acres of CO Mountain Living Min. From Town

The Woodland Escape: Your Private Colorado Mountain Retreat

Welcome to The Woodland Escape, where you truly get the best of both worlds. Nestled on 3 completely secluded acres of quintessential, pine-filled Colorado land, this property offers ultimate privacy and tranquility while being less than a 2-minute drive from the heart of town. Whether you are seeking a peaceful mountain getaway or an action-packed family adventure, our expansive 6-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom estate is perfectly equipped to be your home base.

The home is outfitted with an automated smart thermostat system to keep you perfectly comfortable no matter the season, and features 3 cozy fireplaces (with one conveniently located on each level of the home) as well as expansive gathering spaces both indoors and out. Grab a fresh cup from the dedicated coffee station, step out onto one of the many sun-drenched patios, and breathe in the crisp mountain air. It is incredibly common to share your morning with local wildlife—deer, elk, foxes, and wild turkeys frequently wander through the property (along with the neighbor’s friendly dog, Rocky!).

Unmatched Entertainment & Local Adventure
There is no shortage of entertainment right here at the property. The massive lower-level Media Room is the ultimate hangout hub. Challenge your family to a round of air hockey or foosball, mix a drink at the wet bar, or sink into the giant, plush sofa to catch your favorite movie or the big game on a massive 110" projector screen.

When you are ready to explore, you are perfectly situated near Colorado's best attractions:

Local Woodland Park Fun: Take the kids to the Dinosaur Resource Center or visit the North Pole/Santa's Workshop.

Unique Experiences: Go for a private walk with a wolf at the nearby Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, or explore the ancient fossils at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument.

Major Attractions (Under 30 Mins): You are a short, scenic drive from iconic destinations like Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, the Manitou Incline, Manitou Springs Cliff Dwellings, and Cave of the Winds.

The Ultimate Back"yard" Oasis
The outdoor living spaces are designed for connection and relaxation. The back of the property features two distinct, easy-to-use propane/gas fire pit areas: a propane fire pit surrounded by benches for gathering under the stars, and a second gas fire pit integrated into a gathering table for evening meals and drinks.

Just steps away is your private hot tub. Our hot tub is professionally serviced, balanced, and cleaned between every single visit to ensure top-notch sanitation so you can simply soak and unwind after a long day of hiking.

Bedroom & Sleeping Layout
Every bed features premium mattresses and professional, with duvets that are freshly laundered between every single stay.

The Master Suite (Main Level): A luxurious retreat featuring a King-size memory foam mattress (Firmness: 6/10) that is an absolute dream to sleep on. It boasts a private en-suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi soaking tub and a walk-in shower with 3 shower heads. Unwind on the in-room loveseat, watch some TV, or step right out your private access door to the back patio, just steps from the hot tub.

The Scenic Queen (Upper Level): Featuring what we believe are the best breathtaking views in the house. Adorned with country-chic decor, this room has a Queen-size memory foam/spring hybrid mattress (Firmness: 6/10) offering pristine comfort. Note: This room has door access to the adjoining room, which can be locked for privacy or kept open for families needing connected spaces.

The Fireplace Queen (Upper Level): Connected to the Scenic Queen and the home's library, this gorgeous room features a Queen bed, stunning views, and its own private fireplace! Sleep soundly on the highly-rated Tuft & Needle mattress (Firmness: 7/10).

The Bunk Room (Upper Level): Designed as a blast for kids but comfortable enough for adults. It features a custom clubhouse-style bed with 3 Twin-size bunks and a Queen-size futon. Complete with its own television and USB wall inputs, it’s the perfect space for kids to play and hang out, leaving the relaxing to the adults!

The Lower Level Queen (Media Room Level): Ideal for guests who prefer to avoid stairs, this easily accessible room features 8-foot ceilings, a Queen Tuft & Needle mattress (Firmness: 7/10), and a semi-private bathroom. Being on the same level as the Media Room makes it highly convenient for late-night movie watchers.

The Private Garage Apartment: For those wanting ultimate privacy, this detached suite sits over the second garage, just steps from the main house. It features a Queen bed, a private en-suite bathroom, a lounging area, its own dedicated coffee station, and a private deck with outdoor seating to take in the mountain views.

Additional Sleeping Options: We provide two top-quality Queen-size air mattresses complete with full bedding. Additionally, the massive Media Room couch can easily sleep 2-4 adults, or as many kids as want to pile on!

Extra Amenities to Elevate Your Stay
Family & Kids: Pack N' Play, High Chair, and Car Seat Holder provided.

Kitchen & Dining: Fully stocked kitchen with supplies for all your cooking and baking needs, including an Air Fryer, multiple coffee pots, and a Keurig.

Comfort & Convenience: 3 Fireplaces (One on each level!), a wet bar, on-site laundry, hangers in every closet, and hair dryers in every bathroom.

Professional Standards: Top-notch, meticulous professional cleaning between EVERY stay.

IMPORTANT PROPERTY NOTICES
Events & Gatherings:
In strict compliance with Teller County Ordinance 23, this property is no longer permitted to host events, parties, or large gatherings of any kind. Please ensure your group size aligns with our maximum occupancy limits before booking. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!

Vehicle Requirements & Winter Access:
Please be aware that access to the property involves a steep, dirt county-maintained road and a sharp street-to-driveway transition. Because of this terrain, an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle is highly recommended year-round, and low-profile cars are strongly discouraged as they may bottom out or struggle to clear the driveway access.

During the winter months, a 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) vehicle, or a Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) or All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle equipped with tire chains, is absolutely necessary to safely navigate the roads and access the home. Please plan your transportation accordingly! Rest assured, to assist with winter access, we utilize a professional snow-clearing service that automatically plows the driveway anytime snow accumulation reaches 3 inches.

The house was gorgeous and perfect for our wedding reception. Trash was a little backed up when we arrived but it was fine in the garage and probably kind of unavoidable. We loved the location, decor, house, and everything about the woodland escape.

Great place to host multiple family gatherings. Our 3 families enjoyed the property to the max—inside & out! Close proximity to so many hiking trails, parks, etc. A highlight was seeing a bear at a neighborhood property. Far enough away to make this an EXCITING event for them!

We had our wedding at this property and it was absolutely perfect and beautiful. Our family stayed for the weekend (8 adults, 1 child) and there was so much space and everything you would need for your stay. The day of the wedding we had 35 people total at the property and it was so spacious and a great property for hosting. Neighbors are close nearby, but it still has a secluded feel. Communication with host was always prompt and clear. We very much loved our stay and was the perfect spot for our small wedding!

Was the perfect size for our large family. Great location for the attraction we wanted to see and do in the Manitou Springs/ Colorado Springs area. Road up to resident and driveway alittle challenging but we DID it. Concerned about no central air but don’t worry cools off every night. Wouldn’t HESITATE to stay again if we should return to area.? Even saw a Bear in the back yard twice along with several deer, squirrels and array of birds.

Host was extremely welcoming. Everything was clean and the host even got the hot tub corrected from the weather lately and had it ready before we even got there. I would and will be recommending this property/owner to anyone who asks. We were there for the Men's Advance at Charis Bible College and it was the perfect home for us.

Actual home: was spacious and clean. Full kitchen was nice and had everything you’d need. Appreciate that they had towel paper holders everywhere for ease of use. No working ice maker so I had to make my own ice. Window screens would have been nice for all windows bc there was a lot of flies entering the home. Hot tub was also nice. Downstairs bathroom had horrible tub drainage though.Garage room: needs a mini fridge to store drinks and breast milk as we had an infant. Overall room was good. Bedframe seemed a little loose and was squeaky getting in and out, bed was ok, blankets were nice and fluffy. Wished the door was also keypad accessible so that anyone could of gone in versus having to use a key. And the walkway needs to be more lit or have solar lights so you could see where you were walking especially down the stone stairs. Dryer was a little wonky, as some said it was too hot, and some say it didn't dry and gave a AF signal. Pay attention to the driveway. It is gravel and we went during the nighttime and didn't know to go further up to turn the car around to enter the driveway from the right side. My brothers drove low cars and had to get some wooden boards to help the drive over the driveway with the big gaps. Recommend higher clearance cars for the roads as it has deep ditches. Overall, large beautiful house, and fit everybody and definitely utilized the kitchen to cook the meals.

We absolutely loved our stay! The property is stunning and the spaces are bigger than in the photos. We had our rehearsal dinner and wedding here and everyone kept asking how we found the place. It was perfect for 10-15 people to stay during different parts of the weekend. Everything was well stocked and the hosts were really responsive when we had trouble connecting to the WiFi. We kept saying how we’d love to live here!
