About this property

Entire place

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

Central to all the fun!

Welcome to this charming private home located exactly halfway between the Broadmoor Resort and central downtown, approximately 2 miles each way. You will be 4 miles from the Zoo, 2 miles from the new US Olympic & Paralympic Museum OC, 7 miles from Garden of the Gods, 13 miles from Pikes Peak, and 5 miles from Helen Hunt Falls.
This home has two bedrooms one bath with a pillow top queen in the master bedroom and two twins in the second bedroom. There are beautifully landscaped grounds accented with a front yard flagstone patio and a gazebo, a back yard patio, and a large lawn surrounded by berms overflowing with greenery. The backyard is fully enclosed and dogs are welcome with an additional charge of $50 per pet per stay. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee looking out the French doors and begin your Colorado experience!

The immediate area is home to many locally-owned restaurants, and small businesses, often located in historic homes. The Ivywild School, 3 blocks from the house, is a beautiful stone schoolhouse built in 1915 and has been remodeled into a local gathering place consisting of various local businesses: Bristol Brewing, The Principal's Office Wine Bar, café, bakery, deli, bike shop, farmers & art market, and a gift shop. The Edelweiss restaurant was the original IvyWild school building and was moved to Ramona Ave, 3 blocks from the house. Here you can enjoy fresh pastries or dine on German and Continental cuisine in the gorgeous outdoor patio. Prime 25, a high-end steak house and local favorite, opened in 2017 and is across from the Ivywild School and also 3 blocks from the house.

Wonderful
The property is beautiful from the moment you pull up. Very well maintained. Even though you're close to a main street and a lot of businesses, the fencing and the trees and bushes that surround the property make you feel like you are very much secluded from all that. When you enter the property even though the square footage is small they do such a great job of Furnishing and using that square footage that you don't feel like you're in a tiny little place. The decor is lovely. The beds are comfortable. The cute little back yard is perfect. I will say if you have a smaller dog bring a leash just in case. They do have a wooden privacy fencing all around but the fencing at the edge of the driveway is more wrought iron looking and my dog was small enough to fit through. But the average dog should have no problem. Overall it was a great stay and if I needed to I would stay here again.

Perfect stay for us
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Lori's property. The house was very comfortable and was a perfect place for us and our two pets. The backyard was fenced and perfect to allow us to allow the pets to exercise. The neighborhood was very nice and we felt very safe. There were deer walking around across the street. We will attempt to stay at this property the next time we are back in Colorado Springs

Great location, great house!
My husband and our puppers stayed at Lori’s home. She greeted us upon our arrival, and it was super easy to check in. The house has a fenced in backyard perfect for traveling with our dogs. It is very comfortable and has everything you need. The neighborhood is close to many things including the freeway so it was easy to get around. We'll definitely stay again!

Great little cottage!
This cottage was perfect for our stay in Colorado. It was clean, the beds were comfy, and the grounds were beautiful. The surrounding area is a little bit sketchy but nothing scary. We had a great time! There were bunnies and squirrels in the backyard. The little touches like easy close darkening blinds in the master bedroom, spices in the kitchen, and little soaps in the bathroom were appreciated. Perfect VRBO experience.

Very comfortable and close to all the best parts of the Springs.
The house was very comfortable and had a lot of little extras. There were dark towels for makeup and lots of extra blankets. There were several games and pantry essentials. My favorite part was comfortable beds and quality linens. I cannot stand scratchy cheap linens. These were so nice! The host was great and easy to communicate with. The house has a beautiful yard and is close to so many things that I like to do when I visit Colorado Springs yearly. I would definitely stay again.

Great Weekend Stay!!!
The house was immaculate. It is in a great location. Close to restaurants, grocery store and anything that you may need. Also, very close to all of the attractions we wanted to go to. Ex: Air Force academy, Olympic training center and museum as well as Pikes Peak and Manitou Springs. Walking distance to Ivywild school which has bars and restaurants. Really cool place!!! We brought our dogs and the backyard is perfect for them to get some exercise and for the family sit outside in the morning. We would stay here again for sure. Host was great about communicating and anything we needed she was ready to help.

Adorable Home in Colorado Springs
This is a lovely property centrally located with all the amenities for a short stay or for a longer stay. We were privileged to stay four nights. Communication was fabulous with the owner. The home is beautifully decorated and has beautiful landscaping. This home is the perfect getaway. I highly recommend it when you come to this area of Colorado…and when we come back, it will be to this home!

We so enjoyed our stay this week-a comfortable, pet friendly, home-lovely fenced grassy yard for our dog to enjoy, while the home was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. So great to sit outdoors in the mornings with our coffee, or have dinner enjoying the cool of the evenings.Lori, the owner, was easy to work with, very helpful, we hope to return often!
