Chipita Cabin is a lovely, 1940s log cabin that has been carefully restored, fully updated, and meticulously maintained. It sits at about 7650', above Fountain Creek halfway between Woodland Park (where there are three large grocery stores) and Manitou Springs, on a northeast-facing hillside of mixed pines, scrub oak, and aspen. While there are other houses nearby, the lots are big and the trees are dense enough to provide exceptional privacy. Even so, there's a great view of a couple of the bigger foothills in the Rampart Range out the front windows. The cabin's elegant but rustic ambience is perfect for this setting.As birds fly, US-24 is about a quarter-mile away on the other side of the canyon. That's far enough to reduce the sound of the traffic to a muted, background white noise even with the windows open, but it's still close enough to provide exceptionally easy access to a place that feels like it's out in the forest miles from anywhere.The appointments are up to the standard of the setting -- comfortable mattresses and couches, big, fluffy, cotton towels, working everything, a large 4K TV, a huge fridge, a 5-burner gas stove, a natural-gas grill (with an automatic shutoff, yet) that’s even clean, as grills go.Chipita Cabin will serve as our standard of comparison for future vacations, I'm certain.

Quaint cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Check in was a breeze.. Cabin was modernized but kept its charm. Beautiful decorated. There were a lot of nice little touches - night lights, coffee, laundry soap, etc. we would stay here again if we are ever in the area again. Great location to Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Manitou Cliff Dwelling, Broadmore Seven Falls and we took a day trip to the Royal Gorge park and Bridge. This cabin was great!

Pikes Peak Perfection!

We loved this cozy 1940's cabin which has been completely renovated with modern amenities but keeping with the 40's charm! Easy to access Rt 24 for adventures but nestled on the wooded hillside. We slept so comfortably on the Dreamcloud mattresses and comfy sheets. There were plenty of towels and hot water for the four of us. We loved sipping our coffee on the front porch rockers. The cabin had everything we needed to make our Pikes Peak vacation perfect. Jim is an thoughtful host and good communicator. We hope to return someday!

Coolest Cabin Experience in Colorado

We spent 4 relaxing and family filled days in the Mountains of Cascade, just outside Colorado Springs. Jim and his lovely wife have done a phenomenal job restoring this 1940's cabin to a time capsule pristine condition.- with the exception of all new appliances, bathroom, furniture and anything else you would need. Attention to detail is amazing. 12 out of 10 stars if possilbe.

Second time to stay here

We had the fortune to be the first VRBO guest this past summer. Second time around late December did not disappoint. The craftsmanship of the cabin is amazing. The cleanliness and all new furniture, new kitchen, new bath etc were exceptional. Fantastic host to boot. 6 out of 5 stars.

About the host

Hosted by James Wing

Host profile image
My wife, Alicia, and I (James/Jim) are long-time (25+ years) Colorado Springs residents. We found each other at the University of Colorado in the late 80s and have been together ever since. Alicia is a financial software consultant. I do information technology (IT) for the U.S. Space Force, and manage a few rental units (aka "our semi-retirement plan"). I love renovating/restoring properties and meeting people, so a vacation rental seems a perfect endeavor to keep me busy & engaged.

Why they chose this property

We stumbled upon this great property in 2019 and fell in love with it. Jim spent 2+ years restoring the cabin -- keeping the original charm as much as possible, while bringing the kitchen & bath up to modern sanitation standards. I became an expert window glazier, restoring hundreds of panes in the true divided-lite windows, but it was worth it.

What makes this property unique

We see wildlife every day. It is just far enough outside the city for serenity, but close enough for convenience.
