Charming Home quiet neighborhood lovely back yard 5 min from Garden of Gods

Location, location, location!! Wonderfully quiet and friendly neighborhood; walking distance to the Garden of the Gods and Glen Eyrie Castle; 15 minute drive to the Air Force Academy, Cave of the Winds, Olympic Museum and Training Center; hiking and biking galore; and two and a half hours to Monarch Ski Resort and Monarch Dog sled Rides. One hour to Royal Gorge and world class rafting, fishing, and whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River.

Enjoy the beautifully appointed interior of this custom home and the lovely patio and garden, lawn area and large deck (with propane grill). There are four solariums, quiet and set apart as reading rooms and rooms of inspiration (one is an artist's studio). When not relaxing by the fountain, enjoy a round of horseshoes or corn hole, or lounging in one of the shaded hammocks. With four air-conditioned bedrooms and three full baths this home comfortably sleeps 8. (The fourth bedroom doubles as a TV room). The Master Bedroom has a small child's bed at the foot of the bed, and another bedroom has a crib. High chairs are also available. There is a laundry room and a loft that is outfitted as a children’s play area.

The kitchen is equipped with large and small appliances and is fully stocked. There is an island with a butcher block top and bar stools. The dining room has a table that seats up to 8, and expanded seats up to 12. The patio table on the deck seats 6. There are two large screen TVs, one in the study and one in the master bedroom and there is Century Link high speed internet and Dish TV.

Manitou Springs, Old Colorado City and the Cog Railway are 15 minutes away. Opportunities for hiking, biking, and jogging abound. You can hike, drive or take the cog railroad up Pike's Peak. In the winter enjoy downhill skiing at Breckenridge, Monarch, Keystone, A Basin etc. Cross country skiing and dog sledding are available at Monarch Mountain. White water rafting is available at many locations with-in a couple hours drive, along the Arkansas River. The Royal Gorge, with many thrill activities, is only one hour away.

Come and enjoy a relaxing retreat in Eden 2. It will make a great home base for Air Force Academy events or any excursions in Colorado Springs or as a gateway to the mountains, on highways that are much less crowded than Denver.

Great Home and Location for USAFA Events

We had a great week at this home - it was in a great neighborhood and was close to many of the activities we had planned. Weather could have been nicer so that we could have utilized the patio/decks, but just had a cold/wet couple of days last week.Great interactions with the owners - thanks for making the trip enjoyable.

Great place to stay!

We came with 5 adults; two couples and a single. The accommodations were well suited for both privacy and togetherness. The house is full of interesting things to view and experience. The neighborhood is quiet and close to many scenic attractions, with easy access to Interstates. We were out and about most of the time, and coming back each evening was safe and pleasant. Communication was easy and overall, it was a really nice place to stay!
