The space
Welcome to the Cactus Casita, where you'll discover the true beauty of cacti beyond their sharp spines. With at least 14 different species adorning the landscape of Colorado, these plants are a trademark of the American West and are quite stunning with their colorful flowering buds and unique shapes. Our historic adobe-style home in Colorado is the perfect place to experience the togetherness that defines the human experience, with cacti as our emblem to remind us of the importance of sticking together.
Located just outside of Downtown Colorado Springs and close to popular area attractions, our charming home features an open concept layout, complete with a modern kitchen and a comfortable living room that is filled with natural light. The backyard is fully fenced in and offers a luxurious hot tub with mountain views, a gas grill, outdoor dining set, and lounge furniture. The stunning outdoor gas fireplace creates the perfect ambiance and extra warmth on chilly evenings. Our greenery wall, complete with a fun neon light that reads “You prickle my fancy,” is the perfect spot for taking photos to commemorate your trip. And don't forget to relax in the gas firepit area or the extra-large hammocks tucked in the shade.
✶ Paradise Found: Exploring the Dream Backyard of Cactus Casita ✶
The backyard of our Cactus Casita is a dream come true with ample space for outdoor activities. It is fully fenced to provide a safe and comfortable space for your pets or children to play. The outdoor area features a hot tub with mountain views, a gas grill, outdoor dining set, outdoor lounge furniture, and a stunning gas fireplace to create the perfect ambiance and warmth on chilly nights.
For an added touch of decor, there are cacti tiki torches, and there is a greenery wall along the fence, accentuated by a fun neon light that reads You prickle my fancy. This is a fantastic spot for taking memorable photos to document your stay. The gas firepit area has Adirondack chairs, and there are two extra-large hammocks nestled in the shade. You'll also find a variety of outdoor and yard games, including Bocce Ball, Giant Jenga, Yard Dice, Yard Farkle, and bean bags for the cornhole boards in the storage cabinet at the back of the laundry room.
We keep the hot tub locked for safety and liability purposes, but we're happy to share it with you. Scan the QR code on the hot tub with your phone to access a short waiver form. After filling it out, you'll receive the code to unlock the hot tub and enjoy a relaxing soak under the stars. Cabana towels for the hot tub are provided as well.
The string lights are plugged into a smart timer in the corner behind the laundry room and are set to turn on automatically at dusk and off at midnight. You can manually control them by pressing the button on the timer, but please do not leave them on overnight. You can also ask G00gle to turn them on or off by saying, Hey G00gle, turn on/off the String Lights. The neon light with the phrase You prickle my fancy is also plugged into a smart timer, and you can turn it on or off manually or through G00gle Assistant using the same method as the string lights.
✶ Parking and Keyless Entry: Welcome to Cactus Casita! ✶
To the left of the home, you'll find the driveway, which can accommodate two off-street parking spots. Additionally, there is ample free street parking available, located directly in front of the home. Please note that the detached garage is not accessible to guests. Upon approaching the home, you will be greeted by a charming front porch, inviting you to relax and enjoy your stay. With two wicker chairs and a table, this is the perfect spot to relax and unwind.
