About this property
Waltons Mountain Cottage - HOT TUB
The Waltons Mountain cottage with hot tub is a hillside hideaway located in the foothills of the mighty Pikes Peak mountain. Sitting on almost 100 acres of private land, the cottage provides seclusion and privacy with easy access to Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs.
Fully furnished 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage. Full kitchen, outdoor hot tub, incredible mountain views, Wi-Fi, and TV!
Great for small families, romantic get aways, or just a relaxing weekend trip.
The Cottage is the front door neighbor to our Waltons Mountain Lodge. Consider booking both properties for your family vacation if you have a larger group. If your party rents both the Cottage and the Lodge, do not remove anything from the Cottage and take it to the Lodge. These are two separate properties, help us keep each well stocked for the next guests.
The Cottage has two queen bedrooms and sleeps 4 (max 5 with a twin blow up mattress and additional fee of $10 per night). Complete kitchen with stove, refrigerator, oven, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and Keurig, dishes, pans and silverware. The living area is open plan. Laundry machine and dryer available in the cottage.
There is NO central air. There are ceiling fans in both bedrooms and one portable AC unit in the house. Baseboard heaters in each room. Do not rest anything on or near the baseboard heaters. Pac'n'play provided upon request. Limited availability, not guaranteed. NO SHEET PROVIDED.
The cottage is about a 30 minute walk to the famous downtown Manitou Springs, where shopping and dining are a must. The walk back is about a 30 minute hike back up the mountain, so plan accordingly. If you will be shopping and aren’t up for a good hike both ways, you may want to drive to town.
Plenty of acreage to explore from the thousands of hiking trails to the old Midland railroad train tunnels. Manitou Springs is minutes away for world-famous sights such as the cog railway, the Manitou Incline, Cave of The Winds, and shopping, restaurants, and arcade that make downtown Manitou Springs famous.
You have access to the entire cottage, the side patio with your private hot tub, the front patio with 4 chairs, a table and a gas grill. You can park directly in front of the cottage in your labeled spot or on the concrete slab, directly in front of the Cottage. The dumpster for Lodge and Cottage guests is located across the dirt road. DO NOT FORGET TO REPLACE THE BAR LOCK AND PIN/SCREW or the bear will come and trash will be everywhere.
In addition to the Lodge and Cottage, there are three other homes on the mountain. The green house, located slightly northwest of the Lodge and Cottage (up the road) should remain unbothered during the entirety of your stay. That is private property and any hiking should be done away from the green house. Do not trespass or enter their property at any time. They have two dogs who are always unleashed on their property. They should not bother you, but please let me know if you have any issues. Please be respectful of the other guests that may be staying at the Lodge behind you. The Lodge sleeps up to 22 so it could be a large party. Let me know if you have any issues.
*Our pet fee is a one-time $30 fee per pet. Although service animals are free, I still need to know if you have an animal at the house with you. Please see VRBO’s rules regarding service animals. An emotional support animal is not considered a service animal and the $30 pet fee is required.*
Be advised that Waltons Mountain is adjacent to rugged national forest. Wild animals frequent the area, including bears, mountain lions, and bobcats. PLEASE BE BEAR AWARE and know what to do if you come across a bear (or mountain lion!) while hiking on our property. Stay in groups and do not let children run around without adult supervision and if applicable, keep pets on a leash at all times for their safety. Please ALWAYS lock up the dumpster with both the bar lock and the pin/screw as this helps us keep the bears out of the dumpster. Do NOT leave food or trash outside and do NOT overfill the dumpster. Please contact Caitlin with any issues.
You may see zip liners behind the Lodge, other cars belonging to the three other houses on the mountain and some trucks that use the city water road that is on our land.
Please drive slowly and carefully through the narrow streets in the neighborhood up the mountain road.
There are times when the hot tub has an issue after someone's stay, we do our best to remedy the issue as quickly as possible but there are times we have to wait for a part to arrive and install it. Unfortunately, these problems arrive randomly and are out of our control. Refunds will not be issued if these very rare issues happen before or during your stay and affect your use of the hot tub.
If you let us know of any issues the moment they happen rather than wait until you check out or not inform us at all, we can get a head start to resolve the issue and we really appreciate that.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Caitlin Esau

Our family has enjoyed Waltons Mountain Lodge and Cottage for many years. The owner and his family live in Arizona. His three daughters “grew up” on the mountain when they were younger, living at the Lodge for 3-4 weeks during the summer and most Christmases. Although we are all grown with families of our own now, we all continue to visit the mountain and stay at the Lodge for a few weeks each summer so our children can experience the same joys we did on the mountain. When you send questions, inquiries and booking messages in the VRBO app, you are communicating with Caitlin who currently lives in Arizona with her husband and two children.
What makes this property unique
Our property provides a unique experience to those looking to visit the area due to its location. This gives our guests plenty of privacy while also being located just minutes away from downtown Manitou Springs. Both our Lodge and Cottage provide a feeling of being fairly secluded in the mountains of Manitou Springs allowing for our guests to spend their days down in the city, and when that becomes too much, they have the option to retreat back up the hill to the privacy and quiet of the foothills.
