'We love the Olde Poste Cottage! It was so much more cozy and warm than any hotel! It was fantastic being able to cook meals for the whole family. Can't find a better location; we were never in the car too long on our way to touristy stuff. Thanks for providing a wonderful place for our family to make memories in.' Wegers, Magallons & Brantleys - TX & FL “We had an AWESOME time on our vacation! The cottage was a perfect home-away-from-home. The location here is excellent and the owners were very helpful (yes, we tried the hike at Crags!) and attentive. We grilled out twice during our stay and enjoyed meals at “home” each night of our stay. We loved the attractions too – Garden of the Gods, Cliff Dwellings, Cave of the Winds, Cog Railway, Seven Falls. Also went horseback riding and whitewater rafting with Noah’s Ark in Buena Vista, and saw Royal Gorge and Molly Kathleen Mine in Cripple Creek. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!!” Matt & Martha Cummings & Family – Memphis, TN

My family and I had such a nice Christmas in this cottage. It was clean, had everything we needed, and was close to all of the areas best attractions. And a beautiful view of the mountains!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
We spent 3 nights for a family wedding. The location was convenient for access to Colorado Springs, without having to be in the city. Great access to Pikes Peak Highway. Enjoyed the Wines of Colorado Creekside Dinning was an excellent nearby restaurant. Great place to stay with family. Neat place to stay in an 1860’s historic post office converted to cabin.Recommend if you like to stay at unique places.
This was perfect for our family! The location was amazing. We had enough space to spread out. We spent our evenings playing games in the cabin and our days out exploring. The host was very responsive and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
Rustic, homely, suitably located to hit all Colorado Springs major points of interest within 15min. All amenities provided.
$$$ security deposit could dissuade many despite every other aspect being optimal.

About the host
Hosted by Aaron Peterson
George and Lynn are not Colorado natives, but this is Home. George first came to Colorado to attend the USAF Academy in 1965. After graduation he was briefly stationed in Colorado as a young Intelligence officer prior to his assignment to Korea. After Korea and training in counter-insurgency, George served in Southeast Asia. His next assignment was in Hawaii where he met and married Lynn, who had been teaching at the University of Hawaii. A son and daughter soon rounded out their ohana. In 1978, a visit with friends in Colorado convinced them that this was eventually to be their permanent home. 14 years later, after living overseas, experiencing many cultures, and watching the Soviet empire fall, they finally made it to Colorado! They originally bought their Woodland Park and Cascade houses in 2002 as long-term rentals, but found that converting them to comfortable refuges for vacationers offered them better opportunities to meet and interact with great families from all over the world. George is now retired; he and Lynn have raised and shown some wonderful Bernese Mountain Dogs, in addition to having the honor and pleasure of hosting many visitors to our corner of paradise.
