Your private studio is a corner unit in a small, multi-studio building with an artsy, Western vibe. With one long, continuous covered porch running the length of the building, it almost feels like the sidewalk on the main drag of an Old West town. Benches are provided so you can relax and take in the humbling views of the Rocky Mountains rising just outside your door. The building has a dedicated parking lot.

Step inside and you’ll find a simple, comfortable space that serves as a bedroom, living room, and kitchen, with everything thoughtfully organized for a sense of uncluttered space and ease. The textured walls, rustic wood panel interior doors, and barn door-style headboard give the space a touch of uniquely “Colorado” character.

Enjoy a good night’s rest on the queen-size bed, where you can sit and watch the wall-mounted TV. The TV is also viewable from the leather loveseat. Arrange some delicious take-out food on the coffee table and snuggle in for a cozy meal and a movie as you decompress after a day of hiking or skiing.

You’ll find a convenient kitchenette with counter space and cabinets, along with a sink, mini-fridge, microwave and coffee maker. It’s perfect for the active, thrifty traveler -- just right for making simple lunches and snacks, heating up ready-made meals from the supermarket, and re-heating take-out.

If you’re visiting in warmer weather, you’ll be grateful for the ceiling fan and wall-mounted air conditioner.

A cheery bath will brighten your every morning with a bright blue mosaic wall as the backdrop to your pedestal sink. The combination tub/shower can be useful to both human travelers and those with dirty post-hike paws!

A closet provides space to hang your wardrobe and tuck away luggage.

Hotel-grade linens are professionally laundered after every visit.

There is a shared Washer & Dryer in the Laundry Room / Office at the East end of the Building. Access info is available in the unit

The Neighborhood:
Beneath the gaze of the towering Rocky Mountains on the west side of Colorado Springs, you’ll find the neighborhood known as Old Colorado City, a designated National Historic District established in 1859. The area is populated by quaint older homes, many of them the earliest built in the city. Its sweet cottages and bungalows are prized by house hunters, and its collection of unique restaurants, shops, and museums makes it a popular destination for locals and travelers alike. Some people might tell you they’d be content to just hang around Old Colorado City for weeks at a time, but we urge you to explore everything the region has to offer. There’s so much – and so much of it is unforgettable.

You’ll find additional shopping, dining, and cultural attractions in Downtown Colorado Springs, just a 7-minute drive away. In 3 minutes, find yourself in Manitou Springs, a walkable small town with a creative vibe.

There’s a good chance you’re coming to enjoy the Great Outdoors – and we’ve got a lot of it. It’s jaw-droppingly beautiful and full of opportunities for incredible experiences, whether you’re seeking peaceful restoration or an adrenaline rush. In the Rockies, you can hike, bike, ski, raft, fish, hunt, zipline, and much more.

We can boast some of the most striking natural scenery in the world, including Pike’s Peak (“America’s Mountain”) towering 14,000 feet above sea level, and the Garden of the Gods, where ancient rock formations soar 300 feet into the air – just 2 minutes away! If you’re bringing your pup, they’ll have the time of their life in the Garden’s off-leash area.

Other popular outdoor spots nearby include:

Red Rock Canyon Open Space (2 minutes)
Bear Creek Regional Park East (6 minutes)
Cheyenne Cañon Park (13 minutes)

…but that’s just the beginning. You’ll find so much to do within 30 minutes or less of your location, you could stay busy every day for a year – at least. Enjoy every minute!
