Cottage Next to the Creek in Historic Cascade Canyon At The Foot Of Pikes Peak

This fully restored Victorian cottage with outdoor hot tub is situated on the banks of Cascade Creek in the small mountainous neighborhood of Cascade which is part of the Pikes Peak watershed. Great views of the creek from windows in the sitting area and
views of the mountain ridges from the wrap around porch and the sleeping loft.
The cottage is at the rear of a larger property with a main house and carriage house and is surrounded by old growth forest. The grounds: large trees, flower gardens, and a private creek side mini meadow are yours to enjoy. The cottage has a wrap around porch with chairs and a porch swing to gaze at the gardens and an outside patio next to the creek with table, chairs, and charcoal grill.
The renovated cottage is really a "tiny house"( 500 sq ')with all space efficiently dedicated. There is a small sitting area, a dining area, compact kitchen (fully equipped with microwave, stove, dishwasher, fridge, and washer/dryer), small bathroom with shower, and a light-filled sleeping loft with large windows of the mountains, forest, and night sky. The babbling creek serves as a sleeping tonic.
Several trails are outside the front door-one of which, if taken to its limit, takes you to the summit of Pikes Peak. Wildlife, since Cascade is in the foothills, is common—bears, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, and deer.

Great little place

Stayed for a long weekend. Close to many great attractions in Colorado Springs area, and just a short drive to Manitou. Perfect amount of space for two people. It’s a bit closer to the other buildings than it looks in the listing photos, but it’s a very quiet area and the neighborhood is nicely tucked back into the woods while still being right by the highway to get to where you want to go. There is an amazing view of the mountains through the upstairs skylight and the little stream running just outside gives it a lovely ambiance. We had no issues with our stay, only that we wished the bathroom window had some kind of curtain. If we ever end up in this neck of the woods again we will seriously consider staying here again.

Great little cottage

The property was a bit less private than the pictures suggested but it was still a beautiful little cottage in a scenic area. There are no curtains, just some paper blinds, but they do the job well enough. We didn't end up using the hottub because we couldnt figure out how to open the lid, despite the clear instructions left by the owner. I'm assuming it was locked because there was a bar preventing us from opening it. Or maybe we just overlooked something. From the glimpse we got of it, it looked very clean. The bed was a full and quite comfortable. The porch swing looked cozy but could use a sanding and a new coat of paint. The kitchen was nice and clean, except for the silverware drawer. The bottom of it looked pretty dirty but the silverware looked clean. We just hand washed what we needed to use since we weren't really cooking anything. The floors and bathroom were clean. The shower had good water pressure. The shampoo and conditioner in there made my hair so soft. The owner was lovely. Overall, it was a great stay at a reasonable price. Very satisfied with the experience.

Lovely cottage experience

We absolutely ADORED staying at this cottage. We went for Spring Break and it was perfect. . We enjoyed relaxing at the cottage, eating wonderful food in town, and enjoying the scenery. The location of the cottage is perfect. It's just 10 minutes away from Colorado Springs which was so convenient. The hot tub and shower were amazing. We loved reading by the creek. We plan on visiting again soon! The property manager was the nicest ever, too!

Perfect Spring Break Getaway

My boyfriend and I spent one of our first trips together at this beautiful little cottage. Perfectly situated outside by a rolling creek, we enjoyed staying in, as well as exploring Colorado Springs. House was clean and had everything we needed. Food, activities and sightseeing are only 10-20 minutes away from the property. Hot tub was incredible and I truly couldn't have asked for a better VRBO! I hope we get to come back someday.

Very clean and cozy cabin in the mountains. We were very happy with the location of this cabin! Very easy to get to other parks and attractions. The hot tub was amazing and the cabin stayed warm on the colder nights. The caretaker was very helpful and he took time to make sure our questions were answered.

Amazing stay

We had such a great 4 night stay here. Everything was very thoughtfully accommodating and in such perfect location for all the fun activities. Yes, the stairs are steep but we prepared for that and they weren't as hard to trek as I thought. My only recommendation is to be careful when you step in the hot tub. You're stepping directly onto jets. I tore half my big toenail off and didn't find a first aid kit for bandaids.Easy check in and out and lots of privacy! Would definitely stay again!

Quaint little cottage

The property was clean, and beautiful. The vintage decor was an amazing touch. My teen daughter and I really enjoyed ourselves, the wifi slow and spotty which made our stay even more enjoyable because we had to put down the devices and reconnect with each other. The property manager was very helpful and checked in on us and even brought us extra blankets on one of the colder nights. The neighbor in the front was also very friendly. 10/10 would recommend!

Mountain Getaway

Overall a nice cabin and place to stay to explore the area. The couch unfortunately was not comfortable at all which made it hard to relax when not exploring. The hot tub was a nice bonus that we utilized daily. The stairs were mentioned in prior reviews so we knew what to expect. They are very tall and steep, which makes it a little challenging to go up and down especially with luggage. The grab bars on the wall were nice to hang on to so you felt safer going up and down. The owner responded quickly and was very nice. The grounds keeper was also very nice and brought us cookies for the Holiday.

Nice Little Cabin 4 Stars

This is a cute little cabin but there are a few issues that people should know about. First the wifi is very sub-standard. The host was very accommodating to allow me into another home to use the internet. This was wonderful but if you plan to work from this cabin it is not possible. I couldn't even bring up apps on my phone. I was at the cabin during a snow storm so it might be a different story in the summer. My second issue is that the queen size bed is very comfortable but the way the bed is situated my husband bumped his head several times getting out of bed because of the pitch of the ceiling. Also, it's important that folks know that there are some very steep stairs to get up to the bedroom. We didn't have any problems with them but children and folks with walking issues would have a problem.

Great little getaway

This cottage is very cute and quaint. It is small, but perfect for a couple's retreat. The cottage itself is nice. The stairs leading upstairs are steep but nothing that I would complain about. The cottage has everything anyone would need: shower, kitchen with stove and refrigerator, seating area with T.V. (even though it wasn't needed the whole time I visited), washer and dryer, etc.... The location is amazing with great scenery of the mountains and plenty of birdwatching available. We enjoyed the area with the couple of hikes right up the road (Hiezer trail and Mother's rest). Then we had other attractions in the areas such as Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Cave of the winds, etc.... So many that we couldn't get to all of them in our time visiting! I would recommend this stay for anyone interested in a nice cozy little place that is located in the foothills of the mountains.

Cute and quaint!

We had a great stay. First and foremost, upon entering we noticed that it felt and smelled clean. It's nicely updated and very comfortable. This is not a negative comment, but it's just a fact. This place is small. The stairs are small, the loft ceiling is pretty short, and the door to the bathroom is less than 6 feet tall. As a very large man, (6'3" and 250lbs) I can say it was at times tight. Like I said, that's not a knock against it, just a fact of a pretty old building! The stream side setting was delightful, the area is really nice, and we enjoyed a walk up to mother's rest, which was really interesting. We came to hike the Manitou Incline, so having the hot tub was awesome after all that strenuous climbing! The location is great, with Manitou Springs, Old CO City, and Woodland Park all within a few minutes. We had a great stay and really enjoyed the house. Would definitely stay again if we're in the area!
