Charming Home quiet neighborhood lovely back yard 5 min from Garden of Gods

Location, location, location!! Wonderfully quiet and friendly neighborhood; walking distance to the Garden of the Gods and Glen Eyrie Castle; 15 minute drive to the Air Force Academy, Cave of the Winds, Olympic Museum and Training Center; hiking and biking galore; and two and a half hours to Monarch Ski Resort and Monarch Dog sled Rides. One hour to Royal Gorge and world class rafting, fishing, and whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River.

Enjoy the beautifully appointed interior of this custom home and the lovely patio and garden, lawn area and large deck (with propane grill). There are four solariums, quiet and set apart as reading rooms and rooms of inspiration (one is an artist's studio). When not relaxing by the fountain, enjoy a round of horseshoes or corn hole, or lounging in one of the shaded hammocks. With four air-conditioned bedrooms and three full baths this home comfortably sleeps 8. (The fourth bedroom doubles as a TV room). The Master Bedroom has a small child's bed at the foot of the bed, and another bedroom has a crib. High chairs are also available. There is a laundry room and a loft that is outfitted as a children’s play area.

The kitchen is equipped with large and small appliances and is fully stocked. There is an island with a butcher block top and bar stools. The dining room has a table that seats up to 8, and expanded seats up to 12. The patio table on the deck seats 6. There are two large screen TVs, one in the study and one in the master bedroom and there is Century Link high speed internet and Dish TV.

Manitou Springs, Old Colorado City and the Cog Railway are 15 minutes away. Opportunities for hiking, biking, and jogging abound. You can hike, drive or take the cog railroad up Pike's Peak. In the winter enjoy downhill skiing at Breckenridge, Monarch, Keystone, A Basin etc. Cross country skiing and dog sledding are available at Monarch Mountain. White water rafting is available at many locations with-in a couple hours drive, along the Arkansas River. The Royal Gorge, with many thrill activities, is only one hour away.

Come and enjoy a relaxing retreat in Eden 2. It will make a great home base for Air Force Academy events or any excursions in Colorado Springs or as a gateway to the mountains, on highways that are much less crowded than Denver.

Lovely home in great spot
We greatly enjoyed our stay! The location was wonderful and the house had all we needed for our group of six. The kids enjoyed the toys and board games, and the internet and office space worked well for the few days I had to work virtually during our stay.

Comfortable and thoughtful
Our stay was so perfect and comfortable. They thought of everything you could possibly ever need. Beds were comfortable. The solariums were nice spaces. There was plenty of room for each of us, from gamers to toddlers to late sleepers and early risers. The hosts were the NICEST and SWEETEST people with empathetic hearts and adoring souls. Lovely people and a wonderful stay! We’re already planning our next trip back!

Cozy Colorado
This is a great property if you are looking to be really close to Garden of the Gods, Old Colorado City, and Manitou Springs. We relaxed on the many cozy porches after long days of sightseeing. Dave and Diane are great communicators and the check in process is so smooth and easy. We love this place and can’t wait to go back!

Great location and home.
We loved being close to the Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs. The house was clean and had items I usually have to shop for after arriving, like toilet paper, so it was nice. Back yard was peaceful with fountain and we liked having corn hole and horseshoes to play.

A Nice Home to come to at the End of the Day.
This lovely home was a great place to stay for our week long visit. Plenty of showers, great play area and books for our three year old. A stroller was available which was very helpful! There outside areas were great to enjoy. The a/c was only in the bedrooms. Highly recommend this warm welcoming home.

Beautiful home and wonderful location.
We loved our stay in this beautiful home. Quiet neighborhood and just minutes away from everything we wanted to see! It was a very spacious home for our family of 9. Everything you need is right at your finger tips. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook a meal. And we enjoyed the deer that decided she wanted to stay a few nights with us too chilling in the front yard! Lovely home and would highly recommend.

Warm and welcoming home in a beautiful place
Spacious, nice house with warm, familial touches in virtually every room. It was a great place to share a family meal, plan the next day's adventure and get a superb night's rest. Very peaceful and beautiful neighborhood, with breathtaking views literally just outside the front door. Located so close to so many must-see and must-do things. My family gave this home an A+. And I agree.

Spacious and comfortable
We were traveling with our three kids so we wanted to be in a safe area but also close to some of the attractions. We enjoyed the welcoming feel to Dave and Diane’s home. It was very clean with lots of different seating options inside and outside. The two youngest enjoyed the tree swing and some of the toys in the loft. If I had questions, the hosts were super quick at responding and always helpful. We will recommend them to anyone who is vacationing in Colorado Springs.

Quaint, comfortable, personal
I've got nothing but good to say about this place. My family (2 adults, 5 kids ranging from 13 down to 4 years old) was perfectly comfortable there. Plenty of space and sleeping accommodations for all of us. A nice quiet neighborhood close to Garden of the Gods and the highway that takes you west into the neighborhood. Easy interactions with the owners. Would definitely recommend it to others.

Wonderful Stay at Eden 2
David & Diane Hathaway are the consummate hosts. They have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and easy. Their home is lovely and well-appointed with all the appliances and kitchen equipment you could ever need; their outside spaces are comfortable and welcoming. Further, the house is family-friendly and well set up for babies and small children. David & Diane themselves are responsive, helpful, accommodating (they allowed us to check out late because of our busy schedule) and accessible. Reserve their home with complete confidence that you will have a wonderful stay! - Lisa & Steve Laico & family 5/22/19

Homey, comfortable and well organized.
Our family had a great stay at Eden 2. The back yard was beautiful, and a peaceful place to drink morning coffee or sit and watch the sun filter through the trees. The house was stocked with all the kitchen gadgets that we needed, plus some staple food items in the fridge and pantry. Things were clearly labeled to make it easier for us to find things AND to put them away. Our kids enjoyed playing the games we found in the den and my son had a great time playing the piano. The house is located five minutes away from Garden of the Gods, which offers amazing views, perfect for a relaxing drive or a hike. We found the home to be very comfortable and we were able to host two other families (a total of 11 extra people) for dinner twice and there was plenty of room for everyone. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Diane and Dave for generously sharing your home. Kathy and Matt Holecek

Spacious, family friendly home in a great Colorado Springs location
We wanted to celebrate the easing of pandemic required isolation with a family trip to Colorado Springs. Our group included my wife and I, both seniors, our married daughter and son with spouses, and two granddaughters, one almost 5 and one 9 months. The house and grounds proved an excellent choice for our group, with comfortable sleeping options for everyone plus areas inside and on the lovely grounds to give everyone a chance for some time to themselves. The house has a passive solar design and the sunspace areas provide a nice, semi-private retreat in many rooms. The second floor partially overlooks the large living room and was heavily stocked with stuffed animals and toys that delighted the grandchildren. The island kitchen features a large refrigerator that allowed everyone to keep favorite perishables and beverages stocked, plus all the appliances and conveniences you are likely to require. And if you pack light or get clothing soiled exploring the many environmental wonders of the area, there is a large capacity washer and dryer available, with supplies, to refresh your wardrobe. The grounds of the property offer similar choices of shady seclusion or family gathering space including a spacious deck with grill and eating area, a firepit, fountain feature, hammock, and even a horseshoe game area. The hosts, Diane and David Hathaway, were most gracious, reponsive and accommodating, affording us an early arrival check-in and familiarizing us with the property. Highly recommended for a family stay, especially with young children.

Great place to stay!
We came with 5 adults; two couples and a single. The accommodations were well suited for both privacy and togetherness. The house is full of interesting things to view and experience. The neighborhood is quiet and close to many scenic attractions, with easy access to Interstates. We were out and about most of the time, and coming back each evening was safe and pleasant. Communication was easy and overall, it was a really nice place to stay!
