About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A Mountain retreat that is close to the action, but just far enough from it.

The Mountain Retreat is situated on an acre of forested land, with an ideal mix of privacy and close proximity to all the sights in and around Colorado Springs. The home has great views of Ute Pass, and the surrounding mountains. Step out the front door, or on to wrap around deck, and the beautiful nature that Colorado is known for is there. Hummingbirds, deer, fox, and Black Bear just to name a few.

The home is large and spacious, with vaulted ceilings and plenty of room for friends and family.There are 2 separate living areas within the house. The basement has it's own full kitchen and living room, with 2 additional bedrooms. There are 2 parking spaces in the garage as well as 2 parking spots on the driveway. The home also comes with High-speed Wifi and cable. Other amenities include a porch hammock. On the Wrap around deck, there is a Propane Grill and plenty of outdoor seating for bbq's or dinner parties. Don't forget the 6 person hottub with LED mood lighting and water features.



There is an outside camera in front of the house that is not operational.

Fantastically Comfortable and Roomy!!
We stayed here 6 days for USAFA's Parents Weekend '24. The house was very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked. All appliances worked. The beds and sheets were SOOO comfortable. There were plenty of towels, toilet paper, etc... My 2 Cadets loved the hottub. There was so much room to spread out between the 3 floors for everyone to do their homework, or just sleep. If this property is available, we will DEFINITELY stay here again for future Parents Weekends or Graduations! This is a super quiet area and the views of the mountains, and the sounds of the birds was fantastic as we sat on the wraparound porch. Complete relaxation. The charcoal grill was also perfect!

The house suited our needs for an extended family home base during a wedding. The porch with hummingbirds was relaxing & entertaining. There was plenty of room for separation as needed, Additionally, there were plenty of pots, pans, plates etc.

Great home for a large family. Loved the deck, hot tub, and open kitchen. We forgot many mountain cabins don’t have air conditioning yet many windows open for fresh breeze. Richard was responsive to our needs. Would have liked a few extra blankets, so make sure and ask early for those to make sure they are on site. Some reported beds were not very comfortable. It was clean. Great location to many activities. Loved the Blue moose Tavern.

We enjoyed the house it was very spacious and plenty of room for our big group. The road is very curvy and the driveway is downhill with 3 vehicles was a bit of a challenge at first but we figured it out. The views from the back deck were beautiful.

Great visit, once you get inside!
We booked this mountain retreat in February for a March visit. I understood March in the Rocky's could be snowy and this year did not disappoint. When we arrived at the house, the driveway was filled with snow! There was a 3 foot drift at the end of the driveway! We spent the first hour shoveling the driveway out so we could just get to the house! The owner did not have anyone to plow it nor was prepared to have guests arrive safely. Guests do have access to an oversized two car garage to park in. This was a nice perk. Once we got inside, things were fine. The house was comfortable. We traveled with 9 people and everyone had a place to rest. The kitchen had what we needed to make meals. One of the kids then went to use the bathroom to discover there was no toilet paper. The welcome book said each bathroom would have one roll and a spare under each sink. There were two rolls for the entire house. The listing said a propane grill was available for guest use. It was actually a charcoal grill and only 1/8 of a bag of charcoal was available. Not a huge deal, but would have been nice to know for planning purposes. The hot tub was hot and functioning properly. The cover could stand to be replaced. It was water-logged and extremely heavy. We needed two adults to just get it off! The location was great. Close to everything we wanted to see. There was a Walmart within 10 minutes to get groceries or toilet paper. The owner did work with us about the TP and charcoal issue.

The home was great for the two of us and would be absolutely perfect for large groups. The views are stunning, the hot tub is a fantastic bonus and the garage is great. The bed was comfy, and the couch was great for relaxing. Super easy check in and check out.

Love the spaciousness of home. It was perfect for our family. Enjoyed the wildlfe. 3 deer were busy eating and resting just below the deck every day. And the beautiful birds came to the bird feeder everyday. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Views
House was just as described, pictures in the listing were accurate. Everything in the house worked as it should. Check in/out was very simple. Our literal only complaint are the super creaky floors in the master suite, but even those didn’t detract from the views and how comfortable the house was. Great location too, close to Manitu, Colorado Springs and Woodland Park…..and many popular local sites such as Garden of the Gods, cliff dwellings, Pikes Peak, and others.

Good Getaway For A Bit
Would not recommend getting to the house at night. Do able but harder to navigate the roads to the driveway. But the house was great! So much room for everyone, great views, bird feeder to bird watch, and the hot tub at night was a nice way to relax. The master bedroom floor was very creaky, and we wish the hot tub was on the deck for a better view. But overall everyone really enjoyed the stay and didn't want to leave.

Fabulous views
The location has fabulous views and we all loved seeing the wildlife so close up. There were a few things that we felt should have been a little cleaner, but overall, not near as bad as some motels/hotels we have been to and here at least we had plenty of space. My grandkids have already asked me if we can come back!

Amazing house for a family or group!
Our vacation was amazing thanks for this house! We went Thanksgiving break as a family, from Texas. There was 9 of us total and there was more than plenty of room. Everyone was comfortable and could even spread out when needed. All of the beds and couches were super comfortable. There were restrooms on every level. Everything was super clean when we got there and easy to use. I had a couple of questions for the property manager while we were there, and he always got back to me quickly. We had an amazing trip and we already decided we will definitely be going back!
