Old Colorado City Gem

This charming early 1900's home is just steps away to parks and hiking trails, local tourist attractions (Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Cave of the Winds, etc.), local galleries, museums, bars & restaurants. You’ll love our place because of the comfortable no-pressure mattresses (Purple), the coziness of the layout, modern/western charm, and the fully stocked kitchen. Our home is perfect for couples, solo adventurers, outdoor & cuisine enthusiasts, business travelers, and families (with kids). We accept well-behaved dogs only (no cats or other animals) max 50lbs each, limited to 2 dogs. If traveling with dogs, must agree to house rules IN ADDITION to: 1) No dogs on furniture 2) No dogs left alone in the property unless kenneled, and 3) MUST pick up after dogs in the yard. Please check "pets" when booking to apply the fee-per-stay of $85. The detached garage in the rear of the home is used for private personal storage and is currently leased to another tenant separately; the garage tenant may access the backyard area briefly to retrieve personal items from the garage, and will provide notice upon doing so.

“Gem” is the word for this jewel of a property!
We were fortunate enough to get to spend four months in this house, and we would gladly have stayed another four months! Everything about this property is 5-star: the beds are incredibly comfortable; the kitchen has everything you need; the tv is huge; the dining room is a great gathering spot; the layout is super comfortable. The neighborhood is the best for enjoying all that Old Colorado City offers — it’s a short walk to Bancroft Park, yet it’s very quiet and peaceful at the house. Our dog loved the yard. The hosts are fabulous— very responsive and super pleasant to deal with. There was literally nothing not to love about this house. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else if we come back to the Springs!

Beautiful old home
Our little ShihTzu dog was confused the first night by the familiar command "Go potty" and xeroscaped backyard (no grass), but figured it out by the second go around. Lovely home; will look to stay there again as we had not enough time in Colorado Springs!

Wonderful quaint home in OCC!
My husband and I recently had an awesome 7 night stay at this wonderful quaint home in OCC. The location is great, within minutes and walking distance to stroll the main streets of OCC, visit great restaurants, breweries, fly shops, etc. It's a great hub for day trips into the Mountains, Woodland Park, Cripple Creek, Leadville, Breckenridge, Deckers, etc. Also, minutes to Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, The Broadmoor, Pikes Peak, Cheyenne Mtn Zoo and other great attractions in this beautiful area. The hosts, John and Beth, were absolutely the best! There communication was great and really fast. I asked many questions and asked opinions on restaurants, grocery stores, etc. and they were happy to assist. Always very helpful and timely! The home is very, very clean, we felt so right at home! Great kitchen with everything you need for cooking. We absolutely loved the front porch for evening drinks and morning coffee. A very, very quiet neighborhood with locals walking in the mornings and offering a friendly wave and Good Morning! The off street parking is very nice too. The beds were great, with Purple mattresses, we slept well. A wonderful home to stay, we will definately be back, we truly enjoyed the home and highly recommend. Thank you John and Beth for making our getaway awesome! Marty and Debi

Our Stay was Terrific!
This cute house was absolutely perfect in every way! Enjoyed walking to Old Colorado City’s downtown. The outside patio in the back of the house was so relaxing. Quiet little neighborhood. The checkin was without a hitch and each time I reached out to the owners, (before and during) our stay they responded quickly. Would definitely recommend this house!

Great house and location!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was cute, clean and well stocked. Great location. It was perfect for everything we were doing (within 15 minutes of virtually everything) and a very short walk to so many things in Old Colorado City. It has an awesome front porch. We spent a lot of time enjoying it in the early mornings and evenings. Beth & John communicated well with us while we were there. We would definitely stay there again.

Relaxing stay, clean, perfect location!
The owners were extremely accommodating & communicated quickly. We loved the sweet street and neighborhood so close to Colorado Avenue and Old Colorado Springs area. Were able to walk to shops and restaurants and the location was 10 to 15 minutes away from all attractions we were visiting. We loved morning coffee on the front porch and the large family room for evening movies. The kitchen was very clean and met our needs. We will consider staying here again!

Old Colorado City home
The house was perfect for our stay. Nice setup in the house, I had to work one morning and the little area in the kitchen was perfect - quiet and away from the living area and a beautiful mountain view. The house was clean, convenient and nicely appointed, I highly recommend it and the owners were very communicative and even told us we could get in earlier since the house was ready early.
