Summary:
This cozy, 1-bed, 1-bath cabin for 2 is more than just a place to rest. It’s a place to spend intentional, quality time. If it’s atmosphere you’re looking for, you’ve found it. Exposed log walls and old-time architectural touches are an endearing novelty for city slickers coming for a real Colorado Rockies experience. The enclosed, furnished gazebo is an extra-special space for meditation, romance, or valuable time with a friend. The location is ideal for exploring the region’s riches.
The Space:
Welcome to your fairy tale log cabin tucked among the evergreens. Step inside the split-rail fence and follow a pathway lined with tiny lights to your front door, noticing along the way a whimsical gazebo-shaped structure just steps from the main house.
As you step into the cabin, breathe in a room designed to mirror the refreshing mountain heights with a high, peaked ceiling with wood paneling and exposed beams. Log walls provide a rustic backdrop to a comfortable, contemporary sitting area with soft, inviting furniture, a TV, and fireplace. A screen door leading to the back deck permits the circulation of fresh mountain air.
At the opposite end of the room, an expandable leg table with two chairs provides a space for intimate meals or a relaxing game of cards. From here, you have an unobstructed view into the wide-open kitchen with its country-white cabinetry and the full-size appliances you’ll need for home-cooked meals, including a refrigerator, stove, and microwave. You’ll also appreciate the addition of a coffee maker, water filtration pitcher, and cooking utensils.
Your bedroom is a snug haven with exposed log walls, a queen bed draped in a country quilt, a ceiling fan, and a tremendous double-wide closet. Hotel-grade linens are professionally laundered after every visit. The bath is appointed with contemporary fixtures including a spacious, glass-walled shower stall. Tucked inside a cupboard outside the bedroom, you’ll find a stacked washer and dryer for your convenience.
When you step onto the deck from the main living area, you’ll find yourself perched on a wooded slope with a set of stairs leading to ground level. The deck provides a comfortable, private space for cuddling or enjoying casual outdoor meals. A cushioned bench is perfectly situated in front of a mini-firepit, and you’ll also find a pair of comfortable chairs and a table.
Just steps from your front door, you’ll find the jewel of the property: a fully enclosed, furnished gazebo with windows all around. Enter through a sliding glass door and find a bright, flexible space suited to a wide range of activities. Enjoy a tufted sofa, a café table with seating for two, a ceiling fan, and a bar cart. Let the sun flood through the wrap-around windows, or pull the blinds for privacy. Finally read that book, or create your own wine tasting. The room is yours.

The Neighborhood:
Cascade is ideally situated for the traveler who wants to explore the Colorado Spring/Pikes Peak region to the fullest. This is where the Pikes Peak Highway begins, leading you up-mountain to the 14,000-foot-high summit of Pikes Peak.
Tucked in the Rocky Mountains, Cascade is surrounded by outdoorsy delights, including hiking trails, canyons, rafting adventures, hunting, ziplining, and much more.
Cascade is a mere 24-minute drive to Colorado Springs where you’ll enjoy award-winning dining, shopping, and cultural experiences.
The region abounds with museums and natural wonders, including sites like the 300-foot-tall rock towers of the Garden of the Gods, and opportunities for unique regional experiences like fossil hunting or viewing native wildlife. The town of Cascade offers casual dining options, and a 10-minute drive to Woodland Park multiplies those options with familiar national dining and shopping chains, as well as supermarkets.
Getting Around:
We recommend that you have a car or use Uber or Lyft when traveling in the Pikes Peak Region. We're happy to provide bus schedules and maps too if you'd like to use public transportation. The paved roads fully maintained by El Paso County Department of transportation. If your reservation is in Fall or Winter Season please know that a 4x4 or AWD vehicle is recommended in case Mother Nature decides to share some snow. The roads can be slick even after the plows go by - best to wait until the salt trucks come out once the storm has passed.

-We do not have onsite maintenance or cleaning unlike hotels. All requests will be taken care of ASAP and in the order that they have been received.
-Central AC units are best kept at 68 degrees or above.
