My ideal guests are couples or solo travelers with excellent reviews. This is Not a guesthouse, there are No owners living upstairs or downstairs and you don't have to enter through a dark alley. This is a historic, quirky house with a throwback feel. Carefully curated interiors give this cozy historic cottage a warm, artistic, throwback feel. It's in a great location: 5 min. from downtown, 3 min. from Old Colorado City, and 6 min. from Manitou. It's where you want to be to visit the main attractions in Colorado Springs.
There's a fan and a window AC in the bedroom; a window AC in the living room, a fan in the dining room, a ceiling fan in the kitchen, and a fan in the bathroom. There's a 43 inch TV with Roku Guest Mode. Guests may use streaming apps such as Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, etc. by signing in with their own accounts and are kindly asked to sign out before checkout. Enjoy board games and a variety of retro entertainment, including DVDs, VHS tapes, records, and CDs, with players for each format.

The kitchen has everything that you need to make yourself at home, including a gas stove. There's a full size washer and dryer and laundry detergent.

The backyard is lovely when the weather is pleasant. Relax in the hammock or hanging chair, enjoy a snack at the bistro set, or simply listen to the subtle sound of the solar fountain.

-ABOUT DOGS: All breeds are welcome as long as they are well behaved, friendly, house-trained, and not prone to excessive or persistent barking or destructive behavior. Dogs must never be left outside unattended, and guests must clean up after them.
You can bring up to 2 dogs. Dogs are the only pets allowed. Sorry, no cats.

When booking, enter the number of adults (one or two) and check “I am traveling with pets.” Vrbo will add a pet fee of $15 per night total—not per dog. Please be sure to include your dog(s) when making the reservation. To help keep the cottage welcoming for all guests, please use your own blanket if pets join you on the couch or bed.


This little house was built in 1899, during Old Colorado City’s mining-boom era. It’s located in Old Colorado City, a historic, quiet neighborhood full of character and in a wonderful location. Fun fact: a house just three blocks away, at 12th and Pikes Peak, was used in the 2017 movie Our Souls at Night, starring Jane Fonda and Robert Redford. It’s the green house on the corner.

    Cozy little place to stay if you're exploring the Old Colorado City/Colorado Springs area. Convenient to plenty of shops and hiking options. The house has everything you'd need and is full of eclectic art. The backyard has a comfortable hammock and hanging chair to lounge in, as well as a useful little table to enjoy playing a card game on while you watch the sun go down. In the living room you'll find an assortment of VHS, DVDs, & records if you didn't bring your own entertainment. I found the neighborhood to be quiet and it was much appreciated to have AC to keep the summer heat at bay. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd stay again.

    Great stay in a great spot. Convenient access to everything we wanted to do. The place had a great vibe and the host thought of everything. From check in to check out, everything was convenient and simple. We would stay here again if we come back to the Springs.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this very cute home. It was located close to the Garden of the Gods, Pike's Peak and Old Colorado City. The home was clean, the bed was comfortable and our dogs loved the fenced in back yard. The owner was easy to work with and the neighborhood was quiet. We would stay here again if we ever come back to Colorado Springs.

    What are you going to say, five stars is not enough for this place. The host was amazing and stayed in touch just enough to make sure everything was good. The house is great, the fenced in yard is great and the location is great. Awesome place

    It was such a nice and relaxing place. It felt like a home away from home. She was very kind and responded to my questions quickly. My dogs loved the yard and the front porch.

    My dog, Colorado, and I stayed here at the beginning of our trip to Colorado. It definitely started us off on the right foot. The house is conveniently located, and the neighborhood is incredibly peaceful. Exactly what you need for an amazing visit!

    This little home is just minutes from downtown Old Colorado City. It’s quiet, without a lot of noise from the roads or neighborhood. We enjoyed walking down to OCC on their First Friday Art Days and exploring the shops. We enjoyed hanging in the backyard and just chatting. Recommend for a single traveler or a couple that enjoys being close.

    Everything in the description of this property, and all the current reviews are exactly what we found. We were so pleased with the neighborhood, and the yard is beautiful (even though we were there in winter). It is easily apparent that a lot of loving care has been put into the home. From the time we first walked into the front door we knew we had made a good decision. It felt like stepping into a very tasteful eclectic art gallery! House was very clean, kitchen had everything we needed and more, and the bed and sofa were both very comfortable. The fenced yard was perfect for our two dogs, and we really appreciate that Andrea didn't care they were large breeds. So many places put a weight limit on pets, it was nice to find someone who knows just because a dog is large doesn't mean it is not well-behaved. Andrea was very accommodating when we had to cut our stay short for personal reasons. The decor in the home is amazing. We love an eclectic style and this house is full of wonderful and thoughtful artistic pieces. We loved everything about it and will definitely stay again given the opportunity. Highly recommended. One of the best places we have ever stayed!
