About this property
Charming Home quiet neighborhood lovely back yard 5 min from Garden of Gods
Location, location, location!! Wonderfully quiet and friendly neighborhood; walking distance to the Garden of the Gods and Glen Eyrie Castle; 15 minute drive to the Air Force Academy, Cave of the Winds, Olympic Museum and Training Center; hiking and biking galore; and two and a half hours to Monarch Ski Resort and Monarch Dog sled Rides. One hour to Royal Gorge and world class rafting, fishing, and whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River.
Enjoy the beautifully appointed interior of this custom home and the lovely patio and garden, lawn area and large deck (with propane grill). There are four solariums, quiet and set apart as reading rooms and rooms of inspiration (one is an artist's studio). When not relaxing by the fountain, enjoy a round of horseshoes or corn hole, or lounging in one of the shaded hammocks. With four air-conditioned bedrooms and three full baths this home comfortably sleeps 8. (The fourth bedroom doubles as a TV room). The Master Bedroom has a small child's bed at the foot of the bed, and another bedroom has a crib. High chairs are also available. There is a laundry room and a loft that is outfitted as a children’s play area.
The kitchen is equipped with large and small appliances and is fully stocked. There is an island with a butcher block top and bar stools.

There are two large screen TVs, one in the study and one in the master bedroom and there is Century Link high speed internet and Dish TV.
Manitou Springs, Old Colorado City and the Cog Railway are 15 minutes away. Opportunities for hiking, biking, and jogging abound. You can hike, drive or take the cog railroad up Pike's Peak. In the winter enjoy downhill skiing at Breckenridge, Monarch, Keystone, A Basin etc. Cross country skiing and dog sledding are available at Monarch Mountain.

Great location, very convenient to Garden of the Gods and Pike’s Peak. We loved the well stocked kitchen and spacious accommodations. Would stay here again
Excellent home and location for USAFA parents' weekend and family get-together. We were very impressed with the well-stocked kitchen and individual AC units in each bedroom. Cleanliness, condition of appliances, and communication were all top-notch.

Very excellent property ! Excellent location ! And after a hard day of hiking and touring "most" of the sites around Colorado Springs, it was amazing to come home to a silent, peaceful and serene setting in a beautiful neighborhood. All and everything you need for a very relaxing retreat !

We had a great week at this home - it was in a great neighborhood and was close to many of the activities we had planned. Weather could have been nicer so that we could have utilized the patio/decks, but just had a cold/wet couple of days last week.Great interactions with the owners - thanks for making the trip enjoyable.
This property was well maintained and had everything we needed and more. The hosts were wonderful and we enjoyed their house. Location was great for all the places we were going to visit and hike. Would definitely stay there again!

Diane and I are very happy to hear that you enjoyed our home.... please consider us again on your next visit to Colorado Springs!
Warmly, David and Diane
Located close to many activities so it made it convenient to go back & forth to the house. We had two babies age 2 & under. The convenience of a crib, portable crib, high chairs & a great play room with books & toys was ideal. Host were awesome & prompt to respond to us.
We greatly enjoyed our stay! The location was wonderful and the house had all we needed for our group of six. The kids enjoyed the toys and board games, and the internet and office space worked well for the few days I had to work virtually during our stay.

We enjoyed our stay here. It was close to everything -Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, Old Town Colorado Springs and Downtown Colorado Springs. The house was very nice and clean. The house had everything we needed and the hosts were very responsive and accommodating. Overall, we had a great experience.
Very comfortable and clean. Dave and Diane went above and beyond to make our stay great. Highly recommend staying here.

This was a delightful and comfortable home to stay in. So close to everything and very well supplied with staples that are a nuisance to purchase for a week vacation. Thank you!!

Great location, comfortable beds and thoughtful amenities
Our stay was excellent. David and Diane have thought of everything. Great amenities, and attention to detail. The stairs are a bit difficult if mobility is a concern. We would definitely return to this interesting home and peaceful back yard.
We came with 5 adults; two couples and a single. The accommodations were well suited for both privacy and togetherness. The house is full of interesting things to view and experience. The neighborhood is quiet and close to many scenic attractions, with easy access to Interstates. We were out and about most of the time, and coming back each evening was safe and pleasant. Communication was easy and overall, it was a really nice place to stay!
This is a great property if you are looking to be really close to Garden of the Gods, Old Colorado City, and Manitou Springs. We relaxed on the many cozy porches after long days of sightseeing. Dave and Diane are great communicators and the check in process is so smooth and easy. We love this place and can’t wait to go back!

We arrived to a Christmas Wonderland inside and out. There was snow on the ground and fantastic Christmas Holiday decorations inside. We had a great time. Hosts are very helpful. We will be back if they will have us!

About the host
Hosted by David Hathaway
We have been married for 50 years and lived for 13 years in New England, 20 years in Canada, and two in China before coming to Colorado in 2006. We have four married kids and 15 grands.
Our family gathers at our home for holidays and regular get- togethers. It is a home filled with wonderful memories.
Why they chose this property
This was our dream home because of its wonderful design, fabulous yard and especially the location in a quiet neighborhood near Garden of the Gods. We wanted a home that was also a retreat for us, our family and the many guests we entertain. The 15 foot high brick wall in the living room provides a perfect gallery for our paintings from around the world. The French doors throughout the house give it charm and grace. The gardens, lawns, fruit trees give us a playground for our family.
What makes this property unique
Our quiet neighborhood and proximity to the front range (Pike's Peak) affords hiking, biking, and other adventure opportunities right out the front door. We have four grandchildren that live across the street, and every weekend morning they burst into our kitchen for "Papa waffles"! Our yard, patio and deck always provide an oasis from the sun and seclusion from neighbors because of the multitude of trees on the property!
