About this property

Cottage Next to the Creek in Historic Cascade Canyon At The Foot Of Pikes Peak

This fully restored Victorian cottage with outdoor hot tub is situated on the banks of Cascade Creek in the small mountainous neighborhood of Cascade which is part of the Pikes Peak watershed. Great views of the creek from windows in the sitting area and
views of the mountain ridges from the wrap around porch and the sleeping loft.
The cottage is at the rear of a larger property with a main house and carriage house and is surrounded by old growth forest. The grounds: large trees, flower gardens, and a private creek side mini meadow are yours to enjoy. The cottage has a wrap around porch with chairs and a porch swing to gaze at the gardens and an outside patio next to the creek with table, chairs, and charcoal grill.
The renovated cottage is really a "tiny house"( 500 sq ')with all space efficiently dedicated. There is a small sitting area, a dining area, compact kitchen (fully equipped with microwave, stove, dishwasher, fridge, and washer/dryer), small bathroom with shower, and a light-filled sleeping loft with large windows of the mountains, forest, and night sky. The babbling creek serves as a sleeping tonic.
Several trails are outside the front door-one of which, if taken to its limit, takes you to the summit of Pikes Peak. Wildlife, since Cascade is in the foothills, is common—bears, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, and deer.

This was super cute little cottage, close to many hiking trails and beautiful setting. VERY CLOSE to neighbors and host but didnt bother us during our stay. A bit weird at first but got more comfortable as we weren't there a bunch during our stay.

We loved Kiki’s cottage. Sitting in the Hot tub or drinking coffee on the wrap around porch and listening to the near by creek was paradise. The cottage was cute and quaint and a nice mix of old and new fixtures. Douglas was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we needed . Also location was easy access to Highway 24 and Pikes Peak Highway. We highly recommend this as a great place to get away!

The property manager was very responsive and we were able to check in a little early. We were met by Donald also who was very helpful and kind. We looked at numerous properties before booking and are grateful we picked this one. Thank you.

Required cleaning the refrigerator, washer, and lint trap. Cute and quaint. Heating not reliable as pilot light went out at least twice. Donald was awsome and became fond of him in just a few short days. Overall, was a great spot.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Thies

Host profile image
Kris, the property owner, is a Community College Faculty member at a nearby college.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property because of its historical significance. I like older homes and the 'big house" (behind which is the cottage) was the first home built in Cascade . Cascade itself was a resort community in the late 1800's, populated mostly by people from Kansas who bought second homes to escape the summer heat and is now populated by those of us who like the rural feel yet easy access to the city. Those of us who live here feel this is a special place.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, cool, peaceful, rural setting by the creek with old growth trees, beautiful gardens, and access to the trails.
