About this property

A charming, enchanting and historic log cabin with modern amenities

Twin Pines, recognized in the book “The Top 100 Most Beautiful Rustic Vacations” is located deep in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Off-the-grid, yet just 15 minutes from Colorado Springs urban life, Twin Pines is a charming, enchanting and historic log cabin.
Built in the 1890’s on the site of a stage coach rest stop on Old Stage Road, the cabin is an historical landmark on Cheyenne Mountain. Twin Pines is a fusion of 19th century simplicity with 21st century convenience. Step onto the flagstone deck and find yourself amid the sweet, refreshing aroma of towering pines, setting the stage for conversation and laughter while roasting marshmallows around the firepit. Or, step inside and enjoy the 3 bedroom, two bath, cozy living quarters that sleeps 5 comfortably and comes equipped with today’s technology; internet, cell phone service (via WiFi) and Smart TV. While compact, the galley kitchen has all the conveniences of home. In it you will find a full-size refrigerator, washer and dryer, range, dishwasher and garbage disposal.
Since this is an off the grid location in a water conservation area, you will be participating in cabin water management with the spring water system. Limit showers to 8-10 minutes. In addition, run the washer and or dishwasher in the evening after showers have been completed.
Over a century ago, the stagecoach rest stop was a respite for weary travelers and pleasure seekers. Today, Twin Pines continues to welcome visitors from around the world who seek seclusion and relaxation in the Rocky Mountains. We await your visit!

About the host

Host profile image
I purchased Twin Pines from my niece in 1996 and lived in the cabin full time. Two years later, I accepted a job offer that required me to return to live in Indiana. My sister and brother-in-law, Pam and Joe Bricker, lived in Colorado Springs and offered to manage the property, along with the help of their family members, and rent it to potential guests. After a couple of summers of successfully renting the property, we decided not to promote the cabin for guests because of personal time commitments and other priorities. Previous guests, relatives and friends continued to occassionally stay in the cabin during the next 19 years. In 2019, after retiring, I decided to commit time and money to refurbish the cabin in order to consider renting it through VRBO. At the end of 2019, we were pleased with how the cabin looked. At that point, we made the decision to rent the cabin in 2020 if we could find property managers. Fortunately for us, a wonderful couple that lives about a half mile from the cabin volunteered to be the property managers. We could have looked a long time and never would have found a couple more ideally suited for managing Twin Pines than Todd and Rachel. When you stay with us at Twin Pines, you will have the opportunity to meet them.
