This light-filled converted chapel pairs dramatic architecture with a sense of calm and intention. Soaring vaulted ceilings, arched windows, and sun-washed gathering spaces create a peaceful retreat where historic character meets modern comfort. Thoughtfully designed for groups who love to gather, the chef-friendly kitchen, long dining table, and private deck invite effortless connection, while serene bedrooms offer hotel-level rest. Ideal for families, creatives, and friends seeking a restorative stay just minutes from downtown Colorado Springs and the region’s most iconic outdoor destinations.
✶ Historic Roots ✶ Originally built in 1904 on land donated by General Palmer, this Queen Anne–style church served as an important gathering place for its community and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. After years of careful restoration by a local family, the building has been thoughtfully reimagined into a one-of-a-kind home that honors its history while offering modern comfort, space, and warmth.
✶ Living Room ✶ This sunlit great room pairs striking architectural details with a relaxed, welcoming feel. Vaulted ceilings and a dramatic arched window create an open, airy atmosphere, grounded by dark wood floors and layered lighting. Comfortable seating centers the space, including a Queen sleeper sofa for additional guests, while a large smart TV and stove-style gas fireplace make it easy to settle in after a day of exploring. Flowing seamlessly into the kitchen, dining area, and out to the deck, this versatile gathering space is ideal for shared meals, quiet mornings, and cozy nights together.
✶ Kitchen & Dining ✶ This open kitchen and dining space is the bright, gathering-ready heart of the home. Soaring ceilings and arched windows flood the room with natural light, while light cabinetry, dark stone counters, and sculptural pendant lighting create a clean yet elevated feel. The cook’s kitchen is fully equipped for everything from casual breakfasts to celebratory dinners, anchored by an oversized granite island with seating that invites conversation and connection. Nearby, a long farm-style dining table is perfect for shared meals, games, or lingering coffee. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open directly to the elevated deck, with the outdoor grill located just steps away, making it effortless to move from indoor cooking to outdoor dining.
✶ Outdoor Space ✶ Step through the dramatic French glass doors off the kitchen and dining room onto an elevated, sun-splashed composite deck that seamlessly extends the living space outdoors. Framed by sleek black metal railings, the deck is thoughtfully furnished with gray rocking chairs gathered around a propane fire table—ideal for slow mornings with coffee or cozy evenings unwinding after a day in the Springs.
At the far end of the deck, a stainless gas grill makes outdoor dining effortless, while leafy trees and a fenced parking court beyond create a sense of privacy and calm just steps from the heart of the home. Soft deck lighting sets the mood after sunset, offering a warm glow for relaxed conversations and fireside moments under the Colorado sky.
The main deck also serves as the designated smoking area, complete with an ashtray for convenience.
✶ Bedrooms ✶ This home offers four king bedrooms, each designed for comfort, convenience, and easy relaxation, with thoughtful amenities and ample storage throughout.
The main-floor bedroom is wheelchair accessible and provides a calm, light-filled retreat with dark hardwood floors and a king bed flanked by nightstands and lamps. Tall front windows bring in natural light, while blackout curtains help keep mornings restful. A bistro table for two near the windows creates a comfortable spot for coffee or laptop use. Across from the bed, a swivel-mounted 40-inch Roku TV allows for the best viewing angle, with a dresser below for storage. An open closet alcove provides hangers and fabric cubbies, and charging options are conveniently located at the bedside.
At the top of the stairs, a small landing features a round chess table with two stools and wall lighting, offering a quiet place to unwind before bed. Beyond the door, the upper-level bedroom serves as a private retreat with vaulted ceilings and dark hardwood floors. An ornate king bed with nightstands and lamps anchors the room, while an electric fireplace and a mounted 40-inch Roku TV create a cozy setting for evening wind-downs. Sheer drapery and heavier curtains frame the arched window, and a reading nook by the skylight includes a cushioned lounge chair, side table, and built-in bookshelf. A dresser, full-length mirror, open closet alcove, and extra bedding make the space easy to settle into.
The lower level includes two king bedrooms, both located in the finished basement and set up for comfortable rest. Each room features recessed ceiling lights, nightstands with lamps, and window wells that allow in natural light while maintaining privacy. Wall-mounted 43-inch Roku TVs face the beds for easy viewing. Open closet alcoves provide hanging space, built-in drawers, fabric cubbies, and extra blankets. Both downstairs bedrooms are just steps from the shared hall bathroom, making nighttime routines and early starts simple and convenient.
✶ Bathrooms ✶ The home includes three full bathrooms and one half bath, thoughtfully arranged across all levels for comfort, convenience, and privacy.
Just off the main entrance, the main-level half bath offers a bright and convenient stop for quick refreshes.
On the lower level, a full bathroom is located just off the downstairs bedrooms and movie room, featuring a tub/shower combo, modern finishes, and stocked essentials.
The main-level suite includes its own private ensuite bathroom designed for comfort and accessibility, with a curbless walk-in shower (28.5" glass entry), grab bars, and seating bench.
Upstairs, the second-level ensuite bathroom delivers a spa-style experience with a large glass shower, multiple shower features, and a freestanding soaking tub.
✶ Movie Room ✶ Settle in downstairs for movie night done right. The lower-level movie room features a wall-mounted 75-inch Roku TV, reclining loungers, oversized beanbag chairs, and bar seating for snacks or laptops.
✶ Laundry ✶ Laundry is available in two locations, including a stacked unit near the rear entry and an additional washer and dryer on the lower level.
✶ Parking ✶ The property offers a private parking area at the rear of the home, accommodating up to five vehicles, with additional street parking nearby. The fence will be open on arrival for easy access.
✶ Accessibility Note ✶ An exterior ramp provides step-free entry to the main level, which includes the living room, kitchen, dining area, half bath, and a bedroom with an accessible ensuite. Upper and lower levels are accessed by stairs.
✶ No Parties or Events ✶ Events, gatherings, and parties of any kind are not permitted. This home is intended for a comfortable, relaxing stay rather than a party environment. If you’re planning loud or disruptive activity, this may not be the right home for your stay.
✶ Quiet Hours ✶ Please observe quiet hours from 7pm to 7am out of respect for our nearby neighbors. Outside of quiet hours, we ask that all guests keep noise to a reasonable level at all times and respect neighboring properties and boundaries.

✶ Firepit & Grill ✶ Use the propane fire table and gas grill as intended. Do not add additional fuels and ensure everything is fully off before leaving.
✶ Smoking ✶ Smoking is allowed outdoors only and never inside the home. Please use designated outdoor areas and proper receptacles for cigarette butts, and keep doors and windows closed while smoking outside to keep the home fresh. Absolutely no smoking, vaping, or open flames (candles, incense) are allowed indoors. A deep-cleaning fee will apply if evidence of indoor smoking is found.

✶ Additional Fees ✶ If you’d like to request a guaranteed early check-in or late checkout, please message us in advance for pricing and availability. Any additional fees help cover the extra cleaning time or scheduling adjustments needed to accommodate special requests.
