Literally steps to Garden of the Gods, #1 City Park in the U.S. Multiple trailheads located at the end of our dead-end street and connects to endless miles of trails in the area. This space is very private with a secluded patio that overlooks a red rock formation and is likely to provide some great wildlife viewing. Enjoy watching the horseback riders venture by all day, departing from the stables 2 blocks away! Less than 5 minutes to Manitou Springs or Old Colorado City.

Colorado Weather:
We are excited for you to enjoy our 360 days of sunshine, but the mountains make things very unpredictable!
In the summer, please prepare for possible afternoon showers.
In the winter, please prepare for possible snow fall, but don't worry it usually melts quickly!
We have no children, but a sweet mini Berniedoodle who is very friendly and enjoys watching the horses walk into the garden from the front porch.
