Colorado
The property was not as accurately advertised related to the location. When I was researching listings in Cascade the map indicated the property was on the north side of highway 24 on Forest Rd. This was one of the deciding reasons why I booked it. If it would have been on Forest Rd as it was pinned on the VRBO map it would have been only few blocks from our family and would have been within walking distance. For the future might I suggest VRBO do better job of pinning the general location on the map. I understand that an exact location is not feasible but, in this case, there was a big difference in what the map showed and where it actually was.

Nice home
Home was beautiful, when we got there the tub had a drip and someone left the plug down, tub was almost full. So you don’t have overflow you may want to call someone in. We loved the location, privacy, home had character. Wish we had more time to spend another day! Thank you!

Great location at the base of Pikes Peak
Loved the location and the quietness. There were some great walks around the property to walk the dog and the scenery was amazing. The duplex was well maintained. My only suggestion was to have better lighting.

Nice hidden away location and convenient to the area’s itineraries
Spacious home with a great living and dining area for a group and a great, well equipped kitchen…as well as a washer and dryer for use (which came in handy) all downstairs. Upstairs is a Large bathroom (no bathroom downstairs) along with 2 nice-sized bedrooms and a middle room with an extra twin bed. Plenty of storage with large closets/dresser drawers, etc. No AC in the house but when we were there 7/2-7/10, they had super efficient fans that never made us feel anything but totally comfortable. Prompt and friendly communications with Kelly - always appreciated. And everywhere you turned, there was a balcony and lots of outdoor seating. This was an ideal place for our enjoying the Pikes Peak region. Thank you for having us!

Great experience all around
Check in and check out was so easy i thought i was doing it wrong. The host was EXTREMELY responsive, usually within minutes. The house is in a great location for experiencing the tourist attractions in and around Colorado Springs or if you just want a quiet getaway. We had five people in our group and had plenty of room for everyone. I cannot say enough about the host or the property. Will definitely stay here again.

Lovely home for great value!
We stayed in this lovely home over new years and enjoyed our time spent. We had a few hiccups - the uphill driveway was VERY slick from recent snow with no snow or ice management happening and was dangerous to drive out of because the house is on a major curved road (blind turn), the heat took a while to get going because it’s left at 60 degrees when empty, and the kitchen only had the basics - but for the value it was an awesome stay, and you can walk to a couple of Cascade restaurants from the house was a surprise bonus.

Great location
We had a great time when we and even got to see snow. The house was cozy and had everything we needed (even chopped firewood). There was a mishap the first night, but I reached out to the owners and they contacted me immediately and rectified the issue. I would def recommend this property and will stay here again when I visit Colorado.

Weekend Getaway
This property was very nice and exactly how the listing described it. It was a perfect location not to far from anything, but not too close either. The upstairs did get a little stuffy as there wasn't much breeze from the outside as you are tucked back into the woods, however, there are fans if needed. I would recommend this place to anyone and would definitely stay here again. The host was also very quick to respond to any questions that I had. We enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly & Jonathan Shiffer

Host profile image
We moved to Colorado in 2012 as an alternative to the hustle and bustle of busy, and hot, Dallas, TX. Since then, we’ve been exploring the mountains and found so much to offer. We’ve come to love this area and want you to see and feel that it’s one of the most special places in Colorado. This packet lists some of our favorite hikes and activities but is just the tip of the iceberg. If you’d like more recommendations, we would be happy to share what we can, just give us a call.

Why they chose this property

Enjoy Everything that Colorado Springs has to offer, coupled with this great location on a secluded 3.5 acre lot, close to so much more that the mountains have to offer. The scenic mountain community of Cascade is nestled among the Pikes Peak foothills just minutes from Colorado Springs. Named for nearby waterfalls, Cascade beckons to visitors as the front door to Pikes Peak, the country's most visited mountain.
Every year, more than a half-million people reach the peak's 14,110-foot summit. Cascade also houses historical businesses like the Adobe Inn at Cascade, with Southwest-style accommodations.

Hiking trails to local waterfalls include the Heizer Trail in Cascade Community Park and the Catamount Trail in Green Mountain Falls. Afterward, head to The Skinny Taco for small-batch salsa and a well-seasoned menu. Then continue on to nearby Manitou Springs, home to cliff dwellings, the Cave of the Winds and the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, the highest train in the nation. Be sure to saddle up for horseback-riding tours through the stunning Garden of the Gods, located just down the road.

What makes this property unique

Location Location Location. This area is a springboard to adventure, wildlife, mountains, and tours, including Garden of the God's, and Old Colorado City, and Manitou Springs. Oh Yeah did we mention Colorado Springs, is just minutes away!
