Hike into Garden of the Gods right from the house! Perfect for families!

The location of this family friendly home is simply perfect! You'll be only minutes from the historic Rockledge Ranch, Old Colorado City, Red Rocks Open Space, Manitou Springs, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and Seven Falls. But the real treat is that this beautiful home is only 0.2 mile from a foot/bicycle-only entrance to Garden of the Gods. This means you can avoid the stress of traffic/parking and instead walk right into the Garden. The exceptional location allows you to explore all of Colorado Springs, relax, and spend more time vacationing!

As a guest you'll have full access to the house and its amenities. Relax on the large front deck and enjoy the very quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Go for an evening stroll to Westmoor Park (0.3 mile away.) Hop in the car and go down the road to the brewery of your choice. Or, our personal favorite, walk up the road into The Garden of the Gods to watch sunset.
Regardless of your activity choice, regardless of the season, you are likely to see other hikers, bicyclists, families, and plenty of wildlife out enjoying the great outdoors.

What can you expect, depending on the season?
Spring: 40's - 60's, sunny, and lots of new wildlife. Colorado is well-known for its heavy, Spring snows and baby blue skies. One day it can snow 2 ft. one day and the next day, it can all melt off.
Summer: 70's - 80's, sunny, and everyone (and their dog) is outside. Hikers hit the trails early because by afternoon, loud and intense thunderstorms can build against the mountains.
Fall: 60's - 70's, dipping into the 30's sometimes at night! The chilly nights and warm days are the perfect equation for stunning colors. Coffee shops and breweries are hoppin' and a cozy sweater is essential. (Fall is my favorite time of year here.)
Winter: 20's - 50's, bright blue skies and snowy mountains. Everyone is still outside, but now they are enjoying the crisp air and Winter activities.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be within walking distance of Garden of the Gods. Features include laundry facilities. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.
  • The vacation home offers a kitchen, a washing machine, and 2 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • Onsite recreation includes a playground
  • 5 minutes by car from Garden of the Gods and 10 minutes from US Air Force Academy
As a guest of this vacation home, you'll find barbecue grills, a garden, and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

The house was clean and very cozy. The host left the Christmas decorations up at our request. If you want to hike around Garden of the Gods this is your place, you walk 5 minutes down the road and you are on one of the trails. Host checked in with us a few times to make sure we were enjoying our time. If we are ever in Colorado Springs again we will definitely stay here.

Perfect location for family mountain getaway

This property is fantastic ! We had plenty of room for all family members . The playroom was amazing and my grandson loved the toys and tent. Cousins visited one afternoon and the kids had a ball. Plenty of seating and dining spaces. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Five stars seems inadequate I’d give it 10!! We will be back!

Comfortable home in great location

We really enjoyed our week at this property. It was in great condition and nicely decorated. The host was very helpful and responsive but respectful of our privacy. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, but close to major roads, conveniences, and sights that we wanted to see (Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods, etc). Our 16-year-old son is a runner so the local access to the Garden of the Gods trails was great!

Perfect Stay

This comfortable, easy, spotless house is decorated beautifully with Colorado themes and a fresh look. Ashley thought of everything, from welcoming touches such as a bottle of wine with two glasses laid on the dining room table, to ample supplies, toiletries, and a fully stocked coffee and tea bar. She was a wonderful host, providing us with great information about what was nearby. One of the main hikes in Garden of the Gods is right there, and it is suitable for everyone. A great stay; thank you!

Amazing! Will return!

We stayed at this beautiful home while in Colorado to visit family, and it was perfect! There was plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 kids, the kids loved the cowboys and Indians room! Ashley the owner made everything so easy and made sure we had everything we needed! The location is so perfect with being right next to garden of the gods and really anything you wanted to do. When we come back to visit again I would definitely rebook this beautiful home! I would give it 10 stars if I could!

Wonderful property in a fantastic area of town!

We had a blast staying at this VRBO for 5 days with our group! My daughter loved the cowboy and Indians room, and the proximity to Garden of the Gods couldn’t be beat. Ashley was a generous and attentive host, making sure the little amenities were available! The posting did say there is a hot tub, but that was an error as there wasn’t one at the property. It didn’t affect our enjoyment of the property, though!

RE: PERFECT!

Fabulous property! Spotlessly clean and so convenient to everything. Lovely, accommodating, and totally perfect for children. Pack and play, backpack, STROLLER, high chair all provided. The rocking chair in the "Cowboys & Indians" room was very comfortable and well-used. Loved the decor! Gorgeous setting on a dead end street. We LOVED watching the deer roam the neighborhood. The Garden of the Gods is just up the street! The owner is just lovely and easy to work with. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Colorado Springs and this property exceeded our expectations! An amazing setting. Our only regret--we wish we could have stayed longer.
