About this property
Country Cottage Cross the Creek, Close to City Feels like Country, One of a Kind
Cross the bridge, pass through the horse-head gates, and go up a winding driveway to our light, sunny guest house that feels like you're in the country far away from everything but is right off the interstate.
Our Cottage is a bright, spacious 1,800 sq. feet of living space that is unique, beautiful and sparkling clean. Our property offers plenty of outdoor places to sit and relax as well as immediate access to a regional trail that runs for miles in both directions and a toe dip in a creek. We are just a quick drive to many local attractions as well as just south of the Air Force Academy. Located along a Colorado creek, you'll may spot some Colorado wildlife. On any given visit, you'll hear the Star Spangled Banner floating through the breeze from the Air Force Academy and the train whistles as it heads north or south. This listing is a calm oasis while simultaneously very unique! We love it here and hope you do, too!
We've been hosting at our Country Cottage since 2017, accommodating families, bridal parties, team retreats, and even honeymooners at our Cottage. Our continual five-star reviews gave our family great satisfaction and pride in offering our Cottage to guests as we joined VRBO in 2019.
Our beautiful ranch-style, wheelchair accessible Cottage sleeps seven, making it perfect for families and groups. Our Cottage offers 3 bedrooms (total of 5 beds, including the trundle) as well as two bathrooms with showers. A complete, well-equipped kitchen with island, full-size refrigerator, oven and dishwasher gives you the ability to make a scrumptious dinner or whip up something quickly. A large living room has sofas perfect for a game night, watching a movie or relaxing with your group. An attached garage is available for storing sporting equipment and coolers. An outdoor patio table and chairs gives you the opportunity to enjoy Colorado's beautiful outdoors from various vantage points around the Cottage. Our property and Cottage are completely non-smoking in their entirety, so you will be able to breathe in the beautiful Colorado air both inside and out!
Our Country Cottage 'Cross the Creek is a private guest house located on our farm property. You will be able to park right outside the front door. We will contact you through the VRBO message center the week of your arrival with directions and keyless access information for the Cottage.
Our Cottage provides immediate access to the 20-mile long New Santa Fe Trail, which runs along Monument Creek from Colorado Springs to Palmer Lake, crossing through the Air Force Academy. Guests can enjoy walking, running, hiking, biking or just meandering along this trail. Our property is located just a couple miles off the interstate, so grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations and Walmart are all within 2-5 miles from our Cottage. We are one exit away from the Air Force Academy and 8 miles from the Garden of the Gods park.
Our family lives in a separate house on the property. We are available to make your stay the best experience possible if you need anything, but we are also far enough away that you will have your privacy! We love to say a quick hello when we're able to meet our guests!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfect location for a week visiting daughter. Right next to Santa Fe trail. Fun, daily visits from the adorable farm dog and cat. So much fun staying on a working farm. Owner super friendly, welcoming, and easy to communicate with.

Hi Pam - thank you! And yes, we love it so much more than hotel rooms, too ;-) And, I love that you used our space for a family girls night! So special!
This cottage was perfect for us. Very close to everything we were doing, but with a country feel. Very quiet and the owners dog was a great surprise. The kitchen had everything we needed and the space was very comfortable
Used it to rest eyes on a long trip from Texas to Montana. Very comfortable house. Our second time in this one. Got real cool at night with the windows open!

Thanks so much Karen! We loved hosting you and pray blessings over you and yours!
Our family had an excellent stay at this property. Everything was as promised, and it was an excellent place to share a home-cooked meal in a beautiful open-concept kitchen/dining area. Also close to a trail that goes by the Air Force Academy. Overall, excellent property!

About the host
Hosted by Tosha Williams
I am a wife and mom, a writer and piano teacher, a woman in ministry and the leader of a small non-profit. My family has lived on our farm property for over 20 years now, and we love this little slice of country in the midst of the city. I have hosted thousands of people at our Country Cottage 'Cross the Creek for almost a decade, and I look forward to meeting you and your group and welcoming you to this place that is very special to my family and I.
Why they chose this property
Our property is one of a kind in the midst of Colorado Springs. We love it because, once you cross the little bridge to get here, you have a totally different experience from normal city life. We're close to the interstate yet a million miles away. Tucked into the rolling hills of the Front Range, we are separated from the rest of the world by our little creek, the nearby train, and lots and lots of trees. Every season brings something new, whether it's the lush green by the creek during the summer or the beautiful snow during the winter. We love it here and hope you enjoy your stay, too!
What makes this property unique
We love our property because of its proximity to all things civilized yet contact with many things unique, including occasional wildlife (care to listen for an owl at night?), a meandering creek (fun for kids to splash in during the summer!), an interesting train, and access to countless miles of regional trails and off-trail hikes. This property is uniquely Colorado - - - yet right off the interstate. Join us if you want to stay somewhere with some personality! We welcome you to be our guests if you're looking for something one-of-a-kind.
