You can’t beat the location with this cozy home in the center of Colorado Springs! Perfect for exploring, it is conveniently close to downtown and Old Colorado City (15-20 minute walk or cheap Uber ride to each), Red Rock Canyon, Garden of the Gods, and charming Manitou Springs. A gem of the city, Monument Valley Park, is within walking distance across the nearby I-25 pedestrian bridge, where you’ll find pickleball courts, endless trails for running/walking, a basketball court, aYMCA pool, and baseball fields.

The home, a shotgun house, was built in 1918 and is filled with charm. It has been updated over the past few years to include modern touches, but it still maintains an old cottage feel. The front of the house features an open layout with a relaxing living room and fully equipped kitchen. Enjoy cooking in the large kitchen with a gas range, a big sink, and a large butcher-block island. The multi-purpose kitchen island is a perfect place to enjoy a meal, have a drink, play a game, or catch up dreaded work emails. Toward the back of the house, you’ll find two bedrooms with a comfortable queen bed in each, along with a shared bathroom. In the back corner of the house is a laundry room with a washer and dryer, fully stocked with laundry essentials. Although the house does not have central air conditioning, which is typical of Colorado due to our cool dry nights, there is a large window A/C unit in the living room and a small A/C unit in each bedroom.

Outside the house, enjoy Colorado’s 300 days of sunshine in this spacious and fenced backyard. It features a large patio with a dining area, gas grill, gas fireplace, and corn hole set. The patio is shaded in the afternoon making it comfortable on warm nights, or feel free to light up the fireplace on cool nights. Whatever your preference, you’ll surely be able to relax and unwind here after a busy day of sightseeing and exploring.

Beyond loving the character and location of this westside charmer, what I personally love most is that there are so many hiking and mountain biking trails nearby. You also can’t go wrong with the endless fantastic restaurants, bars, and coffee shops in the area, especially downtown and in Old Colorado City. I hope that you’ll find this house to be a perfect base camp for your next adventure in Colorado Springs.

    Comfortable, plenty of space, has everything you need, and a great location. Easy booking, check in, communication. There were quite a few bugs in the house, but that’s to be expected with an old cottage in the summer.

    This was a great stay in the Springs area. Near the Garden of the Gods and not far from the zoo for us. Had everything we needed. The only downside is no off street parking, but we always had a street spot so that was nice.

    Perfect home for my family of 3 to enjoy when we were not out adventuring in and around Colorado Springs. It was comfortable and quite peaceful for being so close to downtown. My son loved the backyard and I did too since it was completely fenced in and we were able to open the back door and he could run in and out as he pleased. Kitchen is well stocked with just about anything you will need if you are going to cook. My husband and I agreed that if we have a chance to comeback we are going to rebook this house. Location and comfort is perfect for everything!!

    First time in COS and found this house it was only 3.4 miles from my neice we were visiting! So convenient to everything! The owner Travis was vey accommodating to our needs for check in and out and always replied very quickly!

    Nice location, worked great for our family. Could use a couple updates like a better seal on the bottom of the door to backyard as there is a gap and blinds on kitchen window as neighbor can see right in. As a safety concern please put a door dowel in the windows with the air conditioners as they are not locked when the unit is in.

    Older home with updates, very clean and owner was available to answer any questions. Located about a block from an over pass that goes over I-25 and puts you into the down-town area. Older area of the city but felt safe. Great if you have pets because the yard is fenced. Would stay again if I were in the area.

    This sweet little house is centrally located and is a perfect place for a base of operations when exploring Colorado Springs! This properties hidden gem is that it is mere feet from the Monument Bicycle Trail and Pedestrian Overpass crossing I-25, combine this with the Mesa Street bridge across the Monument Creek just a couple blocks from the overpass, makes it an easy walk or ride to the Famed Tejon Street Dining and Shopping area! I didn’t measure it but it is an easy 15-20 minute walk - even for an old guy like me! The Fine Arts Center and the Monument Valley Park and Pickleball facilities are right on the path between the two! The fully fenced yard provides a space for relaxation and if you have dogs, it is a perfect spot for them to stretch their legs “Off Leash”.

    The house was in a great center location for everything we wanted to do! We did Seven Falls, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods and etc. without driving over 15 min anywhere! It was super cute on the inside and very clean. There was just two of us, but it could definitely fit more. Would stay here again!

    This was a great house to stay in for a week. The host was very welcoming and sent all needed information right away. The house is perfectly located on the west side of I-25 within about 100 feet of the pedestrian crossing ramp. That ramp was ideal for morning strolls to monument valley park, and made downtown Colorado Springs about a 12-15 minute walk. The house was clean, well equipped, and comfortable. Fire pit and grill in the back yard were great, and although close to the highway there was zero noise heard outside from it. We enjoyed our stay very much, wish we had stayed longer, and would certainly book again if we revisited Colorado Springs.
