Summer is here! Hiking, biking, white water rafting, golf, pickleball, sunshine!
Step into the past with a visit to this incredible custom ranch-style home, built with all the unique details of the iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The brick exterior with monochromatic colors, a cleverly designed stack stone fireplace, and a rectangular picture window all add to the charm and character of this mid-century modern gem. It's truly a part of an era when stylish, simple Usonian-style small houses were designed for the middle-class American family's way of life. Think big band music, cool furniture, community gatherings, and wholesome family times.
The home is located on a beautiful corner lot, with views of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods, and just a short walk to charming Old Colorado City, full of shops, restaurants, and parks. With so many attractions just a short drive away, this home is the perfect place to experience all the great things that Colorado has to offer.
Outdoors, a sunny and bright patio is perfect for soaking in the 320 annual days of sunshine. Inside, you'll find an updated mid-century modern kitchen bathed in natural light, with a wood-burning fireplace in the living room. The master suite and two other bedrooms are located on the main floor.
The basement serves as a family-friendly entertainment zone, boasting a wet bar, big screen TV, and the perfect place for a game of ping pong. There's also a full-size clothes washer and dryer, and there's plenty of parking too!
This beautiful house offers a trip down memory lane, back to a simpler time and a way of living that many of us still cherish today.
It's a 45-minute scenic drive to Cripple Creek, travel 50 miles further west over some of the most beautiful Colorado Mountain passes and you'll arrive in Summit County. The ski towns of Breckenridge, Keystone, Frisco, Dillon, and Copper Mountain are great places to ski in the winter and enjoy the mountain hospitality and serenity that abounds.

Great location - close to excellent coffee, fun restaurants, and the most spectacular views. We enjoyed sitting outside both in the front and the backyard- plenty of seating, easy to bbq and watch hockey on the big tv! House was very clean, beds comfortable and the best hot water and shower pressure ever! Nancy is a lovely host and we hope to come back!

Thanks for the kind words and good review! Please do come back! nancy
House was well equipped and clean, the internet was down but the host tried to get it fixed, appeared to be the provider had an issue, the location was great for our purposes (wedding at the Garden of Gods) and access to the downtown area was great! Seeing the mule deer in the yards was very cool too! Communication with the host was excellent!
We wanted to stay another week!Space for family to hang but also space to spread out and look at the mountains, finished each night in the hot tub star gazing, location was amazing to all attractions, can’t say enough good things.

Stephanie, thank you so much for the super nice comments. I am just now getting to see them. It's been a robust season here. You must come back again!
We loved this cozy home for our family stay! Everyone enjoyed all the property had to offer. The kitchen had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving dinner. Our grown kids enjoyed the hot tub and fireplace outback while watching football, as well as playing a late night game of ping pong. Nancy was a great host and very responsive and accommodating!
We enjoyed the mid-century vibe of the house, the wonderful view of the mountains, deer in the front yard and the hot-tub. Great location near shops and restaurants.
We had a great trip with our extended family. The hot tub was amazing, the location is perfect for everything we did with our family. We could walk to a coffee shop and ice cream!

Hey Kathy, thanks so much for the kind words. I left you a voice message the other day, I bought another house in the area and wanted to tell you about it. Holler at me whenever you want.
Nancy was a fantastic host and the location of the house was convenient to many amazing restaurants and shops. It was perfect for our short stay in Colorado Springs. The hot tub and backyard patio TV was an added treat.

Ellen, Thank you so much for the nice review.
I spoke with VRBO. I actually did rate you a 5 star on all 4 categories. Overall, Cleanliness, House Rules and communication. I am not sure if you can see that but you should be good for future bookings with other hostesses. Thanks so much!
Nancy and Al (the owners) are fantastic! We really enjoyed our time here. It is the cutest house and there is so much to do in the area! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Our hiking group of 7 adults stayed here. This is a beautiful house in a nice neighbourhood and very close to all stores/restaurants. The host is very friendly and we would definitely rent this house again in our future trips.
This location was the very best! Central to USAFA, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, and most of Colorado Springs. The house had plenty of space with lots of things to do when you were not out doing things. Especially enjoyed drinking coffee out on front patio looking at the peak! Would 100% stay here again
My son was married at Garden of the Gods and it worked out great. The Garden was less than 10 minutes from this house. The house is unique and we had a great time staying there!
