About this property
The Historic Blue Bird Cottage
Enjoy your stay at The Blue Bird Cottage in Colorado Springs. This home was constructed in 1891 and offers an old-world theme throughout. It is centrally located just minutes from downtown, Garden of the Gods and Ute Pass. Please enjoy the flower garden in the summer and utilize the sleds for fun in the snow in the winter. Umbrellas available for walks in the rain. Pets are welcome. There is a $75 pet fee applied. We know your pet may need a pet sitter when you are out exploring. We enjoy using the Rover pet-sitting service.
Your stay will be just like a home away from home with stocked kitchen utensils, coffees, teas, fresh linens, towels and so much more. The back deck is welcoming and has extra lighting for nights out on the deck. Easy access to the rear of the property if you want to park in the back off the alley.
