The space
The cottage is at the heart of it all. It is very close to many of the local Colorado Springs attractions. Colorado Springs STR Permit #1364.
The cottage is a very comfortable space built in 1923, and preserves much of its original charm. With charm sometimes comes modern oddities such as a very cozy bathroom, original flooring, wall heating, and natural window fed cooling (i.e. no central air, which is typical for Colorado homes) we do have a window air conditioning unit though ;). The cottage is a step back in time with modern amenities like a Keurig and Netflix :)

To help you relax after a long day of exploring, the cozy living room boasts a television with Roku, Netflix and local channels as well as games, books and toys for the little ones. The living room also includes an expandable dining set for your family meals.

Simply put, just wow! Fell in love with this cozy home. Bed and pillows were like sleeping on a cloud! Great stay with our dog too!
Myself, three of my daughters and my son all stayed here during our vacation. It was our first experience not staying in hotel and it was perfect. We felt completely at home and the host is simply amazing she’s the best. She made great recommendations for everything and even rushed to us when we locked ourselves out one day above and beyond you won’t be disappointed to stay here. I will definitely book with them again.
Teresa is an excellent hostess, the cottage is very cozy and comfortable. We were made to feel welcome. I just want to say a heartfelt thanks to these kind folks who practice hospitality, and made it possible for our two family pets to come with us and enjoy Christmas in The Springs. Pets allowed is becoming a thing of the past. If you choose to stay here ( and I highly recommend you do ) please adhere to the simple rules so that others, like us, can enjoy true hospitality in Colorado Springs. My wife and I will fondly remember this experience.
Great property and would stay again!
We enjoyed this cozy cottage with its arched doorways, a quaint bathroom, unique front door hardware, and original hardwoods. Add the modern comforts of a streaming Roku TV, a fully equipped, good-sized kitchen, comfortable beds and efficient A/C units and fans made this a perfect get away for our vacation adventure. Our hostess was very attentive, quickly addressing issues and providing us with information on shopping, restaurants, walking trails and tourist sites.
Teresa is clearly doing a lot with a little on this property. The backyard is almost non existent and the front yard is shared with the main house. The outside seating area wasn’t very clean although it looked like at one point it had been inviting. The inside was a different story. Spotless and really cute. She’s thought of a lot of things to make this very small house comfortable. It’s also on a pretty busy road so that limited walking possibilities with our dog. But she was so kind and responsive. The air conditioning / cooling was terrific! This is important as climate change makes the area hotter and hotter in the summer. We really appreciated that effort. And the bed was super comfy! Overall, we would stay again.
Nice spot, easy to get to and location made it easy to go anywhere.
Very nice cottage. Very well stocked. Teresa was a wonderful host. So cozy.
The cottage was very nice. Kitchen was very well stocked. Location is great, only minutes from everything. Host was great. Outdoor area was great for sitting after a day of site seeing. Everything was perfect.
This is maybe the best-equipped rental I've ever stayed in! Loved that all the cabinets in the kitchen were labeled so it was easy to find everything. A great place to relax in the hammock after a hike. It's just a few blocks from Ivywild School/Bristol Brewing too!
