About this property

Westside Stairway to a Haven in Old Colorado City at the base of Pikes Peak

About this space
It's 16 steps up to a Rocky Mountain haven in a newly constructed apartment located in the heart of Old Colorado City on the westside of Colorado Springs. A beautiful deck looks over the neighborhood with Pikes Peak in the distance. Located halfway between downtown Colorado Springs and the Old Colorado City business district, restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, shopping, and night life venues are less than 10 minutes away. Close enough to enjoy, but far enough away to remain a quiet retreat.

this rental property was very clean, everything worked fine, the coffee was excellent, there were "odd and ends" for the kitchen. The bed was very comfortable. The dogs came to greet me, the best hosts of all. The bathroom had enough selections of water sprays for the indulgent shower. I would definitely come back and aside from the great host, to meet my 4 legged kind hosts as well.

Clean and quiet, restful stay

Truly a haven in Colorado Springs! We found this apartment to be in a great central location to many great attractions and hiking trails. Such an immaculately clean place and Doug was incredibly responsive. This is definitely on our list of places to stay again!

Great stay

The perfect place to stay while in COS. It's a great, quiet location. Easy access to attractions. Spotless with all amenities that one may need during a stay. Highly recommend. Doug is also a great communicator. Loved meeting and loving on Tofu too.

By far the cleanest and nicest rental property we’ve stayed at. I’m a general contractor by trade(and a stickler for perfection) and the finishes were all more top end, you can tell the owner takes pride in his properties. If you’re able to climb a flight of stairs, you will love this rental. It was complete with all the amenities and more. The location is about a ten minute drive from multiple tourists destinations.

Relaxing stay in a quiet neighborhood

Doug and Laurie have worked hard to provide a cozy retreat. Everything was impeccably clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with the basics and the beds were comfortable. It was very hot during our stay, so we appreciated how well the heat pump and fans worked to keep the apartment cool. The neighborhood is quiet and within easy walking distance to a few restaurants. We will return!

Old Colorado City

The apartment is lovely, the location is great. We had everything we needed. It is very convenient to the local food/drug store as well as several restaurants. It took less than 10 minutes to reach the train to Pikes Peak and Manitou Springs. I would recommend this apartment to anyone interested in visiting Pikes Peak or Colorado Springs.

Birthday trip

I was looking for a rental near my daughter and saw this place. It was just 2 blocks from her, and very close to downtown historic Colorado Springs. The neighborhood was quiet and low traffic flow, very walkable. The rental was very clean, modern and comfortable, high end appliances and fixtures. I was able to easily fix a birthday dinner for my daughter. Lots of natural lighting and quiet running AC. The host was pleasant, available if needed. Responded to text in timely manner, also flexible with arrival and departure times.

We cannot say enough about how wonderful this little home away from home is. Everything was absolutely perfect! Doug and Laurie have thought of every little detail. The outside deck and patio put this spot over the top. It was the ideal place to completely relax. Easily walkable to good food and shopping. An 11 minute drive took us to our trailhead for the Garden of the Gods. About 15 minutes to get to the shuttle for 7 falls. There are views of the mountains from the deck. We will absolutely be back! Thank you Doug and Laurie!

About the host

Hosted by Douglas Schrepel

Host profile image
I'm a retired veterinarian after owning a veterinary hospital in Colorado Springs for over twenty years. My wife, Laurie, is also a veterinarian and owns a feline only practice in Colorado Springs. We travel as often as we can (which is quite a lot), are avid scuba divers, and recently became grandparents for the first time!

Why they chose this property

The Old Colorado City area on the west side of Colorado Springs has the small town charm that I grew up with in rural Kansas. Our home, and this apartment, sits halfway between the Colorado Springs Downtown Business District and the Old Colorado City Business District which allows easy access to shopping, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Ten minutes to the west is the quaint mountain town of Manitou Springs, the base of Pikes Peak, and endless hiking.
