I didn't want to leave! The setting is so beautiful, with towering hills, large boulders, aromatic evergreens, a cascading waterfall that disappears into the earth, wildflowers galore. The rental is expansive, with every comfort imaginable supplied by the gracious host. My children and I felt so at home here. The host supplied it all, bedding, towels, bathroom amenities, appliances, drinks, condiments, coffee,. not to mention hiking and sight seeing information. We hiked up Green Mountain Falls' Catamount Hike, and attended Woodland Parks' farmers market, both of these adventures recommended by the host. It's a short drive to Cripple Creek, an amazingly scenic drive, and Manitou Springs is 5 minutes away. I would highly recommend this getaway!
