The Retro Retreat: Hot Tub, Fireplace, Pikes Peak Views, Garden of the Gods

Some stays are just a place to sleep. Retro Retreat becomes part of the trip.

Wake up to Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods views from the west-facing front patio, walk into Old Colorado City for coffee, shops, and dinner, then come home to the kind of evening guests remember: dinner on the covered patio, a soak in the hot tub, a movie on the outdoor TV, ping pong downstairs, and a glowing fire in the outdoor fireplace when conditions allow.

Set on a corner lot in a very safe neighborhood, this ranch-style mid-century home is furnished with genuine 50s and 60s-era furniture and has the kind of warmth and personality that makes a stay feel memorable, not generic. Brick, stacked stone, original wood floors, picture windows, and hand-selected period details give the home its true retro spirit.

The main level makes the house especially easy for families and multigenerational groups. Younger guests love the twin beds and game console. Downstairs, the lower level features a wet bar, a big TV, ping pong, and plenty of seating on two long sofas for movie nights, cards, and late-night conversation.
The backyard is one of the biggest draws. The lovely covered patio features an outdoor fireplace, hot tub, large grill, and even a TV you can watch from the hot tub. The front patio is just as special, with mountain views, cool morning air, and regular deer sightings in the neighborhood.
You’ll be close to Garden of the Gods, Red Rocks Canyon, Manitou Springs, The Broadmoor, Pikes Peak adventures, and all the restaurants, galleries, and shops of Old Colorado City.

Best for up to 7 adults, with room for children depending on your group setup. This is not a party house. It is a guest-loved home for families, wedding groups, reunions, and friends who want character, comfort, and a great Colorado Springs location.

Features include 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, workspace, driveway parking for 2 vehicles, additional street parking, and a fully fenced backyard. The driveway can fit a 36-foot RV, but there are no hookups. Cooling is provided by window AC units and fans. Heating is radiant.

What Guests Remember Most:

Guests remember more than a place to stay. They remember the views, the retro warmth, the backyard nights, and the feeling of being genuinely taken care of.
