⭐️Premier location! ⭐️ HIKE into Garden of the Gods right from the house!
The location of this family friendly home is simply perfect! You'll be only minutes from the historic Rockledge Ranch, Old Colorado City, Red Rocks Open Space, Manitou Springs, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and Seven Falls. But the real treat is that this beautiful home is only 0.2 mile from a foot/bicycle-only entrance to Garden of the Gods. This means you can avoid the stress of traffic/parking and instead walk right into the Garden. The exceptional location allows you to explore all of Colorado Springs, relax, and spend more time vacationing!
As a guest you'll have full access to the house and its amenities. Relax on the large front deck and enjoy the quiet, friendly neighborhood. Go for an evening stroll to Westmoor Park (0.3 mile away.) Hop in the car and go down the road to the brewery of your choice. Or, our personal favorite, walk up the road into The Garden of the Gods to watch sunset. Regardless of your activity choice, regardless of the season, you are likely to see other hikers, bicyclists, families, and wildlife out enjoying the great outdoors.
What can you expect, depending on the season? Spring: 40's - 60's, sunny, and lots of new wildlife. Colorado is well-known for its heavy, Spring snows and baby blue skies. One day it can snow 2 ft. one day and the next day, it can all melt off. Summer: 70's - 80's, sunny, and everyone (and their dog) is outside. Hikers hit the trails early because by afternoon, loud and intense thunderstorms can build against the mountains. Fall: 60's - 70's, dipping into the 30's sometimes at night! The chilly nights and warm days are the perfect equation for stunning colors. Coffee shops and breweries are hoppin' and a cozy sweater is essential. Winter: 20's - 50's, bright blue skies and snowy mountains. Everyone is still outside, but now they are enjoying the crisp air and Winter activities.

Thank you for the review!! You all were great and are always welcomed back! Thanks for mentioning all the nearby things to do...so much to do, so little time!
This house was centrally located and very comfortable and clean. Walk to gardens of the gods or take a short drive to it. Many restaurants available a very short drive away, including a supermarket.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review Lynnette; I am flattered! You all were fantastic guests! Please return someday!
Hands down one of the best VRBOs we’ve rented when it comes down to the overall experience. Location, comfort, well stocked home, communication, etc. We can’t wait to bring some of our family back for another visit, we see ourselves as repeat visitors for many years to come. Sunrise and sunset hikes through Garden of the Gods right out the front door, and accessibility to endless adventures nearby, truly a gem!

We loved all the space for us to spread out in the home! Also, the location to Garden of the Gods was amazing! Just a short walk up the street and you are in the park! Did not have to fight all the traffic to get there! Ashley was very quick to respond with any questions we had! We would absolutely stay here again!

Hi Shirley,
I still think of you all often. Your trip was likely anything but "fun," and yet you and your amazing family made the best out if it. True optimists. We hope you're able to come explore the area someday for pleasure and relaxation.
Wow. This was the best VRBO I have stayed in. The hospitality was amazing. The location and amenities were wonderful. My kids (4.5 and 2 yo) had a great time in the playroom. It was a great place for our pre-Christmas getaway.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review Lisa! We love when our guests comment on the kid room because we believe in being family-friendly. Come back any time!
This property is fantastic ! We had plenty of room for all family members . The playroom was amazing and my grandson loved the toys and tent. Cousins visited one afternoon and the kids had a ball. Plenty of seating and dining spaces. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Five stars seems inadequate I’d give it 10!! We will be back!

Thank you for such a wonderful review. We would absolutely love to have you and your family back!!
We really enjoyed our week at this property. It was in great condition and nicely decorated. The host was very helpful and responsive but respectful of our privacy. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, but close to major roads, conveniences, and sights that we wanted to see (Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods, etc). Our 16-year-old son is a runner so the local access to the Garden of the Gods trails was great!

Thank you so much Kristine. 🙏 We loved hosting you all and welcome you back anytime!
This comfortable, easy, spotless house is decorated beautifully with Colorado themes and a fresh look. Ashley thought of everything, from welcoming touches such as a bottle of wine with two glasses laid on the dining room table, to ample supplies, toiletries, and a fully stocked coffee and tea bar. She was a wonderful host, providing us with great information about what was nearby. One of the main hikes in Garden of the Gods is right there, and it is suitable for everyone. A great stay; thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Ashley
My husband and I are both Colorado Springs natives. I grew up in the small, mountain town of Cascade and he grew up in Manitou. Both of us went to school in Manitou and decided to raise our family on the beautiful West side of Colorado Springs. Like all Coloradans, we love the outdoors. We love to hike with our kids + dogs, go camping, fishing, skating, and watch the Colorado Avalanche.
What makes this property unique
Our property stands out because it is so kid-friendly. We have a lot of the "essentials" to make traveling easier with kids: -A tub for washin' them off -A washer and dryer for those endless outfit changes -A stroller, pack n play, high chair, and hiking carrier for your use -Kid toys & books -Very limited stairs (1 stair in the house; 2 stairs outside.) -Kid plates, cups & utensils
Lastly, our themed "Cowboys vs. Indians" room is meant for kiddos, or....even kids-at-heart. (Yes, we have had grown men tell us that they sleep in the tipi beds...because why not pretend that you're under the stars in the Ol' West?!)
