Cottage Next to the Creek in Historic Cascade Canyon At The Foot Of Pikes Peak

The place was amazing and property manager very responsive!

Close to a lot of shopping In a residential area. Mother In law House behind house where care taker lives. Still felt as if I were in the woods. Breathtaking views. Creek just out side the windows. Peaceful environment. Nice people made sure I had all I needed and answered any questions I had. Would definitely recommend

We enjoyed our short stay but had to leave early due to altitude sickness. The host was very understanding and even helped us load the car because I was having breathing problems. Unfortunately we didn't stay long enough to enjoy the amminities.

The rental was exactly what I expected. The groundskeeper greeted me as soon as I arrived, introduced themselves, and made themselves available if I needed anything. The space was the perfect size for me as a solo traveler, and I never once felt nervous about traveling alone while I was on the property. The cottage was just the right amount of nature, and the nearby creek was exactly what I needed for a calm, peaceful stay. I also highly recommend taking the short hike up to Mother's Rest - you won't be disappointed!

Was a great time, great attention to detail and very friendly!

Oh my goodness this place is so cute, clean, and I can’t say enough about listening to a creek outside your bedroom window. It’s kinda hard to find, but well worth the search.

Exactly like the description and the write up about it.

This was super cute little cottage, close to many hiking trails and beautiful setting. VERY CLOSE to neighbors and host but didnt bother us during our stay. A bit weird at first but got more comfortable as we weren't there a bunch during our stay.

Didn't spend much time actually at the place but it was nice.

We loved Kiki’s cottage. Sitting in the Hot tub or drinking coffee on the wrap around porch and listening to the near by creek was paradise. The cottage was cute and quaint and a nice mix of old and new fixtures. Douglas was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we needed . Also location was easy access to Highway 24 and Pikes Peak Highway. We highly recommend this as a great place to get away!

This is a very small 500sf house. It’s a tiny house in the main house’s backyard. It is well decorated with lots of knickknacks. It is very clean & well maintained. The caretaker lives in the main house & is very responsive to any questions or problems you may have. The stairs are VERY steep. If anyone has any mobility issues, then going up to the bedroom would be very tough or potentially dangerous when going down for certain individuals. I would definitely make a BIG point of this on the property posting so a renter is not surprised like we were. Bed is not very comfortable & I’m not sure of the size but it seems very short to me which is made worse due to the A frame ceiling. I’d recommend the owner replace with a new king mattress.If you have to sleep downstairs (like my wife had to due to the steep stairs), there’s only a small futon that really can only accommodate a small adult or a child. We had to get a hotel to sleep at for the last two nights since my wife couldn’t continue sleeping on the futon. I’d recommend replacing it with something that can pull out to accommodate a third guest. Hot tub was broken by previous guest. Jets on one seat worked. It was going to be repaired but not for our stay so owner gave us a bit off the rent. Recommendation here is to empty and refill the hot tub after each guest for hygiene reasons. This is a nice small rental for 2 people (not 3) if you are fully aware of and can navigate the super steep stairs!

Everything was excellent and we had a great time!

This was an incredibly beautiful and quaint cottage to stay at. Stayed there recently for my partner & I’s anniversary, and actually ended up getting engaged AT this little Victorian styled cottage! The hosts were very gracious, leaving little welcoming items for us, added all the more little touches to such a special weekend & moment

Hosts left a lot of information and the cottage has a lot of built in amenities.

It was amazing, even saw turkey's on the property.

The host was welcoming and helpful. The little cabin was cozy and homey.

We wanted to love this place sooo bad, it was within 15-20 minutes of everything we wanted to do but just had to many problems, especially since we were staying for 5 nights. From the picture & description, it appears that it is set back from the property with ample privacy. The cottage is in the hosts backyard, with houses on either side & up the mountain looking down. There is a window in the bathroom, with no curtain that looks directly on to the toilet. We had issues with the heat, we ended up just getting a space heater & moving that around with us. The wifi is constantly in & out, switching between them made no difference. We were able to sign in to our HULU on the TV. The shower had limited to no hot water & on our 2nd night there while going to make dinner, we found mice droppings in the bottom of the oven with the pots/pans. Since we were traveling with a very active one year old, we ended up moving to a hotel in Colorado Springs to finish out the rest of our vacation. Which was a disappointment as we had gone grocery shopping after arriving - we never even got to cook & having to pay for housing accommodation again. We did contact the host, who was understanding, willing to send out the groundskeeper immediately & did try to help. We were offered a discount for our NEXT stay but honestly a refund would’ve been more appropriate seeing as we only stayed 2 out of our 5 nights.

Required cleaning the refrigerator, washer, and lint trap. Cute and quaint. Heating not reliable as pilot light went out at least twice. Donald was awsome and became fond of him in just a few short days. Overall, was a great spot.

Adorable little cottage, was worried when we first arrived as it is tucked behind another house but it did have plenty of privacy. Also could use some cleaning of the porch and landscaping but the inside was immaculate. Loved the windows in the bedroom to see the mountains when you woke up. It was a great location with lots to do around the area. The host had left a list of recommended restaurants that was very helpful. Be careful if you are tall, my husband cracked his head several times coming out of the bathroom. The futon in the living room was not comfortable for lounging in the evenings and there is no tv in the bedroom. The hot tub was nice but could not get all the jets to work. Also could use some new pillows in the bedroom. We would definitely stay again. It was the perfect getaway. Thanks for sharing your cottage.

This property was exactly as listed. Quaint, well equipped and a great central location to the best things to do in the Pikes Peak area. The property manager was very responsive and we were able to check in a little early. We were met by Donald also who was very helpful and kind. We looked at numerous properties before booking and are grateful we picked this one. Thank you.

Wonderful stay with beautiful views. The sound of the creek was instantly relaxing. Great location near plenty of restaurants, hikes & attractions. Excellent water pressure and the AC worked like a charm. The host and groundskeeper were very responsive and helpful before and during our stay. Overall a wonderful experience!

great location, but property needs some landscaping and some upgrades of the deck and front door. Another nice deck chair would be nice. The property amenities were very good. Host and property manager were excellent.

We had a wonderful time, the only complaint we have is that the cottage was very hot the first day or two because the window unit A/C was off when we arrived.

Enjoyed this little cabin! We were here for a conference not far away so we stayed for a week. Everything clean and as described! We had plenty of down time to enjoy the hot tub and even had a chance to head up to Pikes Peak which was nearby. Would highly recommend!

Property manager was great, he had good communication and helped us with any and all issues we brought to him. The cabin is small and would be more suited for a weekend trip in my opinion. We stayed for a full week and found it to be a bit too small for a longer trip. It has a futon couch and so lounging in the evenings was not as comfortable as I would like. The cabin was adorable but the kitchen pans were lacking. It lacked cleaners to tidy up with and there was no dustpan and the vacuum stunk up the whole house when used. The area was great. Local hikes near by. We couldn't get all the pumps to work in the hot tub. It seemed like it had been a while since it was ran because there was a lot of build up in the jets. Besides a few minor inconveniences it was a nice stay.

Perfect get away a short distance from Manitou. Beautiful mountains. The cottage had everything we needed, quiet, clean and easily accessible. Highly recommend!

This cottage was very cute. It was small, but perfect for two people. We really enjoyed having breakfast on the patio beside the creek!

Cozy little spot! We’d love to come back someday.

Was beautiful and property owners were amazing!

My spouse and I spent 5 days here for our anniversary vacation. The area is beautiful, and the location is great. It was nice being close to a lot of tourist options but also outside of the city for some peaceful and relaxing evenings. The flowing creek next to the cabin added so much ambiance. The caretaker happened to be outside when we arrived and Introduced themselves and made sure we knew they were available to assist with anything. We never needed anything and still felt like we had plenty of privacy. We hope to rent this wonderful cabin again in the future.

The property description and pictures online do not actually show what it looks like the pictures look better than in person. The cabin is very tiny the bedroom is upstairs in a very steep incline or you're going to hit your head if you try to open the windows to ggetair you're going to hit your head extremely hot only one little AC unit downstairs portable the couch you couldn't sleep on because it's not a couch it's one of the older futons. Unfortunately this is not a cabin made for families to stay in or even mid to older couples very misrepresented as far as the description. We walked in looked around said no ways is going to work and we did not even stay we left and ended up staying in Breckenridge.

Only a few minutes from the Pike's Peak road up to the summit, and 15 minutes from Colorado Springs. Very good location with quiet evenings. If you have the windows open you can hear the creek running as you fall asleep.

We loved the location and layout of this tiny cottage. Falling asleep to the sounds of the babbling brook made for pleasant sleeping. The stairs weren’t as big a challenge as we feared, but could be an issue for some.

Great location and cozy house

This is a lovely cottage in the foothills of Pikes Peak. Very cozy with modern amenities and easy access to local attractions. I appreciated the prompt communication and enjoyed a relaxing long weekend.

Stayed for a long weekend. Close to many great attractions in Colorado Springs area, and just a short drive to Manitou. Perfect amount of space for two people. It’s a bit closer to the other buildings than it looks in the listing photos, but it’s a very quiet area and the neighborhood is nicely tucked back into the woods while still being right by the highway to get to where you want to go. There is an amazing view of the mountains through the upstairs skylight and the little stream running just outside gives it a lovely ambiance. We had no issues with our stay, only that we wished the bathroom window had some kind of curtain. If we ever end up in this neck of the woods again we will seriously consider staying here again.

The property was a bit less private than the pictures suggested but it was still a beautiful little cottage in a scenic area. There are no curtains, just some paper blinds, but they do the job well enough. We didn't end up using the hottub because we couldnt figure out how to open the lid, despite the clear instructions left by the owner. I'm assuming it was locked because there was a bar preventing us from opening it. Or maybe we just overlooked something. From the glimpse we got of it, it looked very clean. The bed was a full and quite comfortable. The porch swing looked cozy but could use a sanding and a new coat of paint. The kitchen was nice and clean, except for the silverware drawer. The bottom of it looked pretty dirty but the silverware looked clean. We just hand washed what we needed to use since we weren't really cooking anything. The floors and bathroom were clean. The shower had good water pressure. The shampoo and conditioner in there made my hair so soft. The owner was lovely. Overall, it was a great stay at a reasonable price. Very satisfied with the experience.

Very clean and has everything you need to enjoy the amazing view of the wilderness. Calm and clean with everything easily accessible

We absolutely ADORED staying at this cottage. We went for Spring Break and it was perfect. . We enjoyed relaxing at the cottage, eating wonderful food in town, and enjoying the scenery. The location of the cottage is perfect. It's just 10 minutes away from Colorado Springs which was so convenient. The hot tub and shower were amazing. We loved reading by the creek. We plan on visiting again soon! The property manager was the nicest ever, too!

My boyfriend and I spent one of our first trips together at this beautiful little cottage. Perfectly situated outside by a rolling creek, we enjoyed staying in, as well as exploring Colorado Springs. House was clean and had everything we needed. Food, activities and sightseeing are only 10-20 minutes away from the property. Hot tub was incredible and I truly couldn't have asked for a better VRBO! I hope we get to come back someday.

Really cozy cabin. Loved how you could see outside from the bedroom windows.

Very clean and cozy cabin in the mountains. We were very happy with the location of this cabin! Very easy to get to other parks and attractions. The hot tub was amazing and the cabin stayed warm on the colder nights. The caretaker was very helpful and he took time to make sure our questions were answered.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was my childrens first time in CO. We loved the history and decorating! Great getaway!

We had such a great 4 night stay here. Everything was very thoughtfully accommodating and in such perfect location for all the fun activities. Yes, the stairs are steep but we prepared for that and they weren't as hard to trek as I thought. My only recommendation is to be careful when you step in the hot tub. You're stepping directly onto jets. I tore half my big toenail off and didn't find a first aid kit for bandaids.Easy check in and out and lots of privacy! Would definitely stay again!

A fantastic cabin in a great location. The property had everything you would need. Parking and the drive was super easy. If you’re tall, definitely watch your head! A perfect relaxing weekend. Can’t wait to come back!

The cabin is super cute. It has everything you need and is super cozy. We loved the hottub, the views are beautiful, and the property mamagement is super friendly. We are booking this cabin again for sure!

.

Stay was very enjoyable, home is comfortable and as described.

The property was clean, and beautiful. The vintage decor was an amazing touch. My teen daughter and I really enjoyed ourselves, the wifi slow and spotty which made our stay even more enjoyable because we had to put down the devices and reconnect with each other. The property manager was very helpful and checked in on us and even brought us extra blankets on one of the colder nights. The neighbor in the front was also very friendly. 10/10 would recommend!

Overall a nice cabin and place to stay to explore the area. The couch unfortunately was not comfortable at all which made it hard to relax when not exploring. The hot tub was a nice bonus that we utilized daily. The stairs were mentioned in prior reviews so we knew what to expect. They are very tall and steep, which makes it a little challenging to go up and down especially with luggage. The grab bars on the wall were nice to hang on to so you felt safer going up and down. The owner responded quickly and was very nice. The grounds keeper was also very nice and brought us cookies for the Holiday.

This is a cute little cabin but there are a few issues that people should know about. First the wifi is very sub-standard. The host was very accommodating to allow me into another home to use the internet. This was wonderful but if you plan to work from this cabin it is not possible. I couldn't even bring up apps on my phone. I was at the cabin during a snow storm so it might be a different story in the summer. My second issue is that the queen size bed is very comfortable but the way the bed is situated my husband bumped his head several times getting out of bed because of the pitch of the ceiling. Also, it's important that folks know that there are some very steep stairs to get up to the bedroom. We didn't have any problems with them but children and folks with walking issues would have a problem.

Well done!

We loved this quaint little cottage. Quiet setting with the sound of the babbling brook was so relaxing. Location is great😊

Love this little cottage. Has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. We didn’t want to leave.

We enjoyed our anniversary trip to Colorado in this cute little cabin. They are located near so many things. It gives you the cabin in the woods feel, without the long drive to get there. 4 days was not enough time to get everything done that we wanted, so we will have to come back sometime soon.

It is a small but quaint cottage. It is in a great location for everything we did. Donald the caretaker was very helpful and Wendy was quick to get in touch with for any issues we had. We had a great trip!! .

This cottage is very cute and quaint. It is small, but perfect for a couple's retreat. The cottage itself is nice. The stairs leading upstairs are steep but nothing that I would complain about. The cottage has everything anyone would need: shower, kitchen with stove and refrigerator, seating area with T.V. (even though it wasn't needed the whole time I visited), washer and dryer, etc.... The location is amazing with great scenery of the mountains and plenty of birdwatching available. We enjoyed the area with the couple of hikes right up the road (Hiezer trail and Mother's rest). Then we had other attractions in the areas such as Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Cave of the winds, etc.... So many that we couldn't get to all of them in our time visiting! I would recommend this stay for anyone interested in a nice cozy little place that is located in the foothills of the mountains.
