.
Dining & Local Culture
Colorado Springs has a vibrant food scene, and Ivywild House is right in the middle of it. Walk to breweries and distilleries, or take a short drive to standout restaurants on Tejon Street. The Ivywild School offers a brewery, distillery, and community vibe just 10 minutes on foot. Families love the easy access to museums, galleries, nightlife, and live performances.
.
We are remarkably close to the Broadmoor, driving less than 4 minutes (two stop lights). In fact, some groups have stayed at the Broadmoor, and the extended family has stayed at this house because of the closeness.
.
Location:
The house is located near downtown in the Ivywild of Colorado Springs, a friendly and historic neighborhood to Colorado Springs along the banks of Cheyenne Creek and under Pikes Peak! The tree lined neighborhood is home to numerous restaurants. Walk to breweries and distilleries. For leisure there is hiking in Cheyenne Canyon, take the complimentary golf clubs for a round, bring the children to the live performances at the theater, and indulge in the nightlife found at our neighborhood brewery (and walk home safely). Easy and quick access to the major highways and Interstate 25, and HWY 115 and 24.

We have some of the best access to the major travel roadways, Interstate 25 (connects to Denver, airports, Garden of the Gods) intersects with Highway 24 (gets you to Pikes Peak), and also hits Highway 115 (takes you south to Royal George, Broadmoor), and Tejon Street (goes right downtown). The Ivywild neighborhood sits right in this area, shielded by a hill which gives us privacy and keeps the noise away. In 3 minutes, you can be on any of these roads en route to your destination.

About the host

Hosted by Kyle Purer

Host profile image

Hi, I'm Kyle. I moved to Ivywild with my daughter as a single full-time dad in 2008, that period of my life was tough, but precious. At one point I was able to purchase the house next door, which turned into "the Ivywild House".
.
I've called Colorado Springs home since 1999, having fallen in love with the Rocky Mountain charm of our hometown. It's so beautiful to see Garden of the Gods in the distance, the Westminster chimes from Cheyenne mountain chiming, and the sunsets over the front range. I would love to help guide and be a resource for your group when you arrive, there's really too much to do here, and I would love to share with you the other cool places and things to do in town. If you have a question or need a recommendation on anything, we are right there to help!

Be assured that the house is what it represents itself to be; a clean, comfortable and open place in a great location, with friendly people all around. The place is immaculately cared for, and details are attended to.
Instagram: I post pictures of the area to #Ivywild_House
.
.
We have hosted families and friends for holiday vacations, reunions, graduations, weddings, sports team meets, and have helped to make reservations, find scenic drives, and have planned a special drive through the mountains. Yes - Trip Advisor and the tourist office will certainly give you an idea of the town; we compliment this advice by giving you some local, neighborly advice on what there is really to see and do.
.
So let me welcome you personally to our house in Ivywild.

Why they chose this property

Why this Property?

- Because of all the quality reviews, we have a reputation for doing well for your family.

-- Because we are doing this for the fun, not the bottom line. I want to provide a limited-edition experience for your group.

--Because we are committed to healthy and a safe vacation home and are an underdog owner operated property in Colorado Spring.


These are the types of families that have stayed:

-- We hosted a long term group that stayed for 3 months (Feb-May) & just worked from home, safely.

-- We've hosted business groups that have a convention at the Broadmoor, because we are close by and provide needed value.

-- We've hosted many families celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. Some families have a function at the Broadmoor and it's easy to "be a little further from them".

--One family used the house as a base for their extended family to celebrate a USAF graduation.

- Our Christmas and New Years families have often cooked up a batch of posole or tamales in the kitchen.

- Our thanksgiving families - no matter how hard I try to steer them to the Edelweiss for dinner, often just cook a homemade turkey feat in the kitchen.

--Another group appreciated the neighborhood with breweries, and that they could walk to it and refill a growler jug there, and bring the beer home.

--We have hosted a group of young Olympians, who were staying for training / nationals (shotgun and skating). We have also hosted skating teams, swimming teams.

--Why this property - because it is awesome.
