About this property
Old Colorado City Gem
City Permit A-STRP-25-0338
This charming early 1900's home is just steps away to parks and hiking trails, local tourist attractions (Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Cave of the Winds, etc.), local galleries, museums, bars & restaurants. You’ll love our place because of the comfortable no-pressure mattresses (Purple), the coziness of the layout, modern/western charm, and the fully stocked kitchen. Our home is perfect for couples, solo adventurers, outdoor & cuisine enthusiasts, business travelers, and families (with kids). We accept well-behaved dogs only (no cats or other animals) max 50lbs each, limited to 2 dogs. If traveling with dogs, must agree to house rules IN ADDITION to: 1) No dogs on furniture 2) No dogs left alone in the property unless kenneled, and 3) MUST pick up after dogs in the yard. Please check "pets" when booking to apply the fee-per-stay of $85. The detached garage in the rear of the home is used for private personal storage and is currently leased to another tenant separately; a privacy fence has been added for additional guest privacy.
