Counting Stars Adobe, beautiful private rooftop deck, unique property

Imagine sipping a cup of coffee watching the sunrise over the city of Colorado Springs while sitting on your own private rooftop deck. After your day of sight seeing you can end your day by drinking a glass of wine watching the sunset over Garden of the Gods on the deck. Once nightfall has come you can then count the stars while enjoying the deck and fire pit. All of nature's bounty is just steps away from our home away from home. Endless hiking & biking trails are literally at your doorstep in our home. Within minutes you can be at all the wonderful attractions the Pikes Peak region has to offer. The quaint charm of Old Colorado City is within minutes with its unique shopping and wonderful dining.

Counting Stars Adobe has a beautiful rooftop deck with gas fire pit overlooking the city of Colorado Springs, Red Rocks Canyon Open Space and the stunning Garden of the Gods. The home has a large master suite with a new plush king size bed and walk-in closet on the main level with an en suite bathroom. There are 2 additional bedrooms in the lower level. One bedroom has a new queen mattress, dresser and closet. The third bedroom has a daybed with a trundle bed for two twin beds. The third bedroom also has a dresser and large closet. The second full bathroom is in the lower level.

After a pleasant day of exploring the area you can come home to our lovely home and relax in front of the TV and electric fireplace. The living area with couch and loveseat has a smart TV and high speed wireless internet. You will be able to access your own streaming apps. The main floor living room also has a cozy reading nook area. The adobe has a well equipped kitchen and laundry area all conveniently located on the main floor. The eating area is just off the kitchen. The home is tastefully furnished with well appointed furniture, high quality linens in southwest style. The kitchen is fully stocked with a lot of supplies. In addition, the pantry has basic supplies provided.

Paradise awaits just outside the front door for bikers, hikers, nature lovers and photographers. Counting Stars Adobe is just one mile from Bear Creek Nature Park Center. Just across the street is the Red Rocks Canyon Open Space with abundant trails to explore. It is a dream location for your biking or hiking vacation. The home also has a 2 car garage so you can safely store your valuable outdoor "toys" while enjoy a night out in the unique flavor of Old Colorado City a short 1/2 mile from your vacation headquarters. In addition Manitou Springs is a short 10 minute drive where you can explore the wonderful shops and dining establishments of this unique mountain town.

Want your vacation to be more relaxing? Just hang out on the rooftop deck and count the stars while you enjoy our lovely Colorado cool evening mountain air. Beautiful scenic drives are just minutes away if you care to explore the Broadmoor area, wonderful Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Seven Falls and of course Americas mountain Pikes Peak. Downtown Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City are just minutes away offering wonderful dining and shopping.

This lovely home offers something for everyone and can be the headquarters for your Colorado vacation experience.

Gorgeous place!
Fantastic! The place was excellent but the extra kindness with spare toiletries, a baked cookie pie upon arrival, and consistent communication anytime needed throughout our stay was really exceptional. The place is perfectly located to hit the mountains or downtown or just not leave the home and enjoy the views and amenities!

Perfect location and Hostess
This property was amazing - the hostess thought of ever imaginable detail and our almost 3 week stay could not have been more magical. The location is perfect for hiking and sites to visit. This was a great stay for my adult children and myself to “shelter in place” over the Christmas holiday.

Everything was ideal
We had a magnificent stay at this property. The owner made sure that we had everything we needed. The rooftop deck is great and there was more than enough room for 4 people. We would definitely book again if we were ever in the area again.

Best Host/Awesome Place
Debbie is one of the best hosts I’ve had and I have used Vrbo many,many times. There wasn’t anything that we needed that she did not have. The rooftop one of the best things about this place. The evenings and mornings up on the roof top with the friends we traveled with was a highlight of the trip. It is un a great location, central to the top spots.

5 Star Stay!!
Debbie was great and very easy to communicate with! She even went out of her way to leave us a special treat for the kids and told us fun activities that the kids would love. The property was very clean and well stocked for even little items we forgot to bring. We had the best week and it was largely due to Debbie making our stay so enjoyable.

If you're thinking "Should I rent this property?" The answer is "yes!" The roof top deck is amazing. Great location, close to everything. The owner is great. The kitchen is well -stocked. There is even black-out curtains in the bedroom.

This home is spotless and has everything you need. We stayed for Air Force Academy graduation and thought the location was perfect. Pictures are good but Counting Stars is actually better than advertised. The best part is a helpful friendly owner that communicates well. Will stay again!

This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in a lot of really good ones. The owner was so great to work with, and her property was immaculate. She had so many special added touches that we couldn't believe. The views from the rooftop deck were just gorgeous!! We would stay here again and again!!

A terrific getaway!
My family of six, two young adults, two grandparents, and my husband and I enjoyed a 5 night stay at Counting Stars. The property was beautifully decorated, conveniently located for visiting a variety of tourist areas, very clean, and well equipped for making meals and entertaining. We would definitely stay in this home again for another getaway visit. The owner stayed in touch with us and also made a special delivery of two waffle irons so that we could make a family favorite for Sunday brunch. We had a great visit!

5 stars for Counting Stars Adobe
This home was perfect for our family’s vacation to COS. The rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. We enjoyed using the fire pit on the rooftop deck. It’s a perfect place to have coffee in the morning or wind down at the end of the day. The location is perfect…very close to Old Colorado City, Manitou Springs, downtown COS and I-25. Debbie was wonderful and very responsive to my questions prior to our arrival. She helped me change the dates of our stay when our plans changed slightly. We would definitely book the Counting Stars Adobe again!!
