We absolutely loved our stay at this house! Peaceful, cozy, and close to everything we needed. The perfect place to relax and make memories. We highly recommend it and will definitely stay here again. Thank you so much!
We loved staying here! The scenery was breathtaking and the cabin was comfortable and very clean. It was the perfect spot for the start of our family vacation!
The cabin was great but the views were amazing, especially during the snowy season. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely make the trip again!
We were looking for a quiet place to let our Florida kids experience snow. This location was perfect! The house had everything we needed. The views were beautiful, and the location is close to so many attractions. We would definitely stay again!
The home was so beautifully situated with amazing views!! Thoughtfully stocked with soap, spices, everything you need !
So comfortable sleeping and lounging areas. Thank you for letting us stay in your home. We had a wonderful stay!
My family joined me for my 50th birthday here. They are from Florida and were able to really experience Colorado as it should be experienced. The boys had so much fun playing in the snow and the house itself was conducive to long family dinners and time spent together. We loved it!
Rental was up the mountain a short way but once you got there what a nice retreat. Very private and serene with a great view.
My wife and I decided to stock up on food and beverages and just eat dinner in every night since it was so nice and not have to drive back into town (Mantitou or Colorado Springs). Nice views in the morning and evening!
Loved the property, beautiful views. It was perfect for our family of five. Very nice place…very simple decor (aka not a lot of breakable things for young hands to fiddle with). Literally 15-20 minutes max from all of the primary area sites. Would absolutely return, no doubt about it. We had a wonderful trip and made some great memories with this as our home base for several days.

Great Vacation
The Kulsa home had more to offer than I would think. The view was impressive and everywhere we went to was so close by. My kids fell in love with Teddy, the neighborhood dog, who even showed us the way up the trail we were looking for. Katharine thought of everything a person might need being away from home. Thank you for making us feel welcome. We would definitely return.

We are moving!
Our family really enjoyed your house and location. The kids still talk about it a year later asking when we will return and if we will be moving to Colorado. We enjoyed all of the wonderful activities and even had a dog (which at first we thought was a bear) visit us one night while we were playing games. The vacation was one of our best and we hope to return some day with our seven children. Thanks for everything!

We love the location and layout of the cabin. However, we felt like the property was getting run down, beds not comfortable, sofa dirty. Listed as sleeping 10 but beds for only 8. Two air mattresses had leaks and sofa bed was broken. Beautiful scenery. Glad we had 4-wheel drive vehicles.

Hi Janelle, the house sleeps 8 -- that's what the main property description says but given your comment I went back and found a detailed description under "about this rental" where it says "4 bedrooms - sleeps 10" -- I can't see how to change that so am corresponding with VRBO right now. I can understand how you were frustrated with the airbeds and sofa bed as a result -- no one has used those for over a year since I changed the listing. Were any of the regular beds uncomfortable? If you could let me know I'd appreciate it as I've never gotten that complaint before. Thank you and glad you enjoyed the cabin overall!

Saved my vacation!
I contacted the owner with very short notice because the cabin I had originally rented was going to be unavailable due to emergency repairs. The owner was so accommodating and got my family set up with the cabin in a matter of hours. Crisis was averted and we had a wonderful time. The natural light streams through the large windows in the AM and the wrap around deck was great for morning coffee. While we were there my family went to Garden of the Gods, a wine tasting benefit, and hiked St.Mary's trail. Thank you for a wonderful weekend with my family.

Great Place, Great Location
We stayed here for a week during graduation for the Air Force Academy and what a great choice it was. There was everything you could need provided and with four bedrooms, one on lower level and one on the third level, (two on main level) plenty of privacy for everyone who came. For people coming to Colorado Springs to vacation, you couldn't ask for a better location. The cabin is off Hwy 24 and so is Seven Falls, Cave of the Winds, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, The Wolf Reserve, Old Town Colorado Springs, and Manitou Springs. Staying here you get the best of both worlds, tourist sites close at hand and staying in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. (Can you tell I'm going to miss Colorado now that my son has graduated!). I do hope to come back to visit and will definitely stay at the Kulsa House.

Thanks for the kind review Marilyn, and I do hope you come back sometime!
My siblings and I stayed at this house from July 19 to July . 23. We found the house quite nice and have little negative to say. The lock box for the key was difficult to open. The huge windows lent to a beautiful view but provided blinding light during the morning. Perhaps some blinds?
Very secluded and peaceful. Highly recommend.

Nice house with a few issues
This was our first time visiting Colorado and enjoyed our stay but did have a few issues.
The house is beautiful with mountain views but the house sits on a hill with a four lane highway below. You do hear the vehicles below anytime you are outside.
The second issue we had was when it came time to refund our deposit. This was not because we were not entitled to it but that we did not rank very high on someone's priority list. After several failed attempts I had to resort to filing a formal complaint with VRBO before finally receiving a check in the mail. (a month after our stay)

Dear Kyra, I am sorry that it took so long to refund your security deposit. I am glad you enjoyed your stay overall :)
Katharine's Cascade cabin was an absolute delight. The home was beautiful, clean, spacious, and served us well for our family getaway. The view from both decks is breathtaking and provides a great hangout space for all. The cabin is located near the foot of Pike's Peak and is a small trek to get to, but once you make the drive a couple of times, it is rather easy to get to. Beware of deer though as we frequently saw them crossing the road to the home on a number of occasions. As expected with a home in the mountains, you definitely feel secluded, which is exactly what we were looking for. The home is filled with a ton of amenities and the kitchen is well stocked thanks to prior travelers leaving spices, sauces, coffee, etc. behind. Aside from the home, Katharine was an absolute treat to work with. She is so kind, communicative, and helped us out immensely with a last-minute request. The home is beautiful, and the owner is equal as great! If you are looking for a nice, relaxing, secluded stay this is your place! The home is very close to everything as well, so even though you can go to the home to getaway at night, you are a few short minutes from Manitou Springs, Colorado Springs, and Pikes Peak. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again!

About the host
Hosted by Katharine de Baun
Hello, I'm a busy Mom of four kids ages 18 through 11 recently transplanted from central New Jersey to Oregon! My past job experiences have included teaching community college and co-founding one of the first parenting websites, Moms Online. Over the last ten years I've gotten involved in managing rental properties here in NJ/PA, volunteering (Girl Scouts and PTO), and working as Editor in Chief for fitsmi.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I bought this house as a bit of a lark - it was featured in a NYT piece in the Friday 'Escapes' section on Feng Shui homes. My mother-in-law was increasingly unable to travel and it just made more and more sense as we talked about it: why don't we buy it so we have a place for all of us to stay when we visit her? I did a little research about VRBO homes in the area and, at least at the time, there wasn't much competition (there's more now but we're still doing okay). We set up the house to please ourselves and our guests at the same time. It was a lot of work, and a lot of fun too.
What makes this property unique
We love, love, love the view at all hours, from watching the sun come up over the mountains early in the morning to dusk shadows and then sometimes a beautiful moon over the pass. My husband and I also love walking the Mt. Esther trail every morning we can (the head of the trail is a 10-minute walk away). When we're at the house, we enjoy complete privacy and the sense that we've gotten away from it all, but we also love the convenience of driving 20 minutes or less to many shops/attractions, from Colorado Springs to Manitou Springs, Woodland Park, Green Mountain Falls, Cave of the Winds, the local Rock Shop (our kids take forever to spend $5 in there!), Pike's Peak cog train, and more.
