About this property

A charming, enchanting and historic log cabin with modern amenities

Twin Pines, recognized in the book “The Top 100 Most Beautiful Rustic Vacations” is located deep in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Off-the-grid, yet just 15 minutes from Colorado Springs urban life, Twin Pines is a charming, enchanting and historic log cabin.
Built in the 1890’s on the site of a stage coach rest stop on Old Stage Road, the cabin is an historical landmark on Cheyenne Mountain. Twin Pines is a fusion of 19th century simplicity with 21st century convenience. Step onto the flagstone deck and find yourself amid the sweet, refreshing aroma of towering pines, setting the stage for conversation and laughter while roasting marshmallows around the firepit. Or, step inside and enjoy the 3 bedroom, two bath, cozy living quarters that sleeps 5 comfortably and comes equipped with today’s technology; internet, cell phone service (via WiFi) and Smart TV. While compact, the galley kitchen has all the conveniences of home. In it you will find a full-size refrigerator, washer and dryer, range, dishwasher and garbage disposal.
Since this is an off the grid location in a water conservation area, you will be participating in cabin water management with the spring water system. Limit showers to 8-10 minutes. In addition, run the washer and or dishwasher in the evening after showers have been completed.
Over a century ago, the stagecoach rest stop was a respite for weary travelers and pleasure seekers. Today, Twin Pines continues to welcome visitors from around the world who seek seclusion and relaxation in the Rocky Mountains. We await your visit!

My family really enjoyed the cozy cabin in the Cheyenne Mountains. The location is great because you are tucked away in the woods with plenty of beautiful scenery but close to any activity you are interested in experiencing. The host, Steve, was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had about our stay.

Pictures do not do this place justice. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. We even had a little rain for a couple of days and it was still great. The first turn on the road is a little scary but we didn't have any issues. Couldn't of asked for a better place on our first vacation.

We really enjoyed the cabin! The surroundings were beautiful, the cabin was cozy and perfect for our family and we loved having fires in the firepit. It felt like having a remote mountain vacation that was only a short drive down the mountain so we were able to have the best of both worlds!

This cabin was so adorable! Amenities were amazing. Everything was very clean. Steve was easy to work with and had a lot of helpful information because this isn't a normal location for most people. The drive to/from the cabin is a winding, steep, dirt road which we all enjoyed as it offers amazing and unique views of Colorado Springs and the valley below.

Perfect for family gathering. Surroundings gorgeous. Owners wonderful in communicating. A must see to believe the beauty of the cabin interior and exterior. With mule deer eating right outside windows a postcard picture to say the least. We wished we had more time for enjoying the tranquility of this spot within a peaceful forest setting.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Cambridge / Maritza Morales

Host profile image
I purchased Twin Pines from my niece in 1996 and lived in the cabin full time. Two years later, I accepted a job offer that required me to return to live in Indiana. My sister and brother-in-law, Pam and Joe Bricker, lived in Colorado Springs and offered to manage the property, along with the help of their family members, and rent it to potential guests. After a couple of summers of successfully renting the property, we decided not to promote the cabin for guests because of personal time commitments and other priorities. Previous guests, relatives and friends continued to occassionally stay in the cabin during the next 19 years. In 2019, after retiring, I decided to commit time and money to refurbish the cabin in order to consider renting it through VRBO. At the end of 2019, we were pleased with how the cabin looked. At that point, we made the decision to rent the cabin in 2020 if we could find property managers. Fortunately for us, a wonderful couple that lives about a half mile from the cabin volunteered to be the property managers. We could have looked a long time and never would have found a couple more ideally suited for managing Twin Pines than Todd and Rachel. When you stay with us at Twin Pines, you will have the opportunity to meet them.

Why they chose this property

WHAT MAKES TWIN PINES UNIQUE?
1. Historic Cheyenne Mountain Cabin
Twin Pines is one of the oldest and most historic cabins on Cheyenne Mountain. The cabin was built circa 1893. The property became known as Wade City Stage Coach Rest Stop and hosted fortune seekers traveling between Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek during Colorado’s last great gold rush.
2. Location! Location! Location!
Twin Pines is located on the Western Slope of Cheyenne Mountain’s Old Stage Road at an elevation of 7,016 ft. The off-the-grid location combined with close proximity to Colorado Springs City Limits (less than 1 mile) makes Twin Pines a one of a kind vacation spot.
3. “Some say there is no prettier place in the Rockies!”
The above quote was from the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph on April 8th, 1934 describing the view from the Twin Pines property.
If you are looking for a unique vacation with modern amenities, you just found it!
