About this property

Creekside, steps to the Broadmoor, close to Zoo, Seven Falls, hike from house

Welcome to the Stratton House; a slice of mountain life that sits steps away from the Broadmoor, Seven Falls, Stratton Open Space, and several exquisite dining experiences, as well as countless other conveniences that you might want on your mountain getaway. After a few relaxing days, you will never want to leave the rich colors and lush forest of the Cheyenne Canyon. Enjoy bird watching, hiking from the front door to open beautiful surrounding open space, biking, sight seeing and if you rare lucky, an occasional bear or dear sighting. On the property, you will find a brand-new, state-of-the-art kitchen, beautiful oak floors, sensational furnishings, kids bunk and TV lounge, an outdoor fireplace, creekside dining, and an outdoor hot tub hidden among the trees. Indoor rock features, the heated-floor sunroom, and the historical, turn-of-the-century yurt provide the Stratton house with an intimate and charming aura. Come indulge in a nap in the hammocks underneath the Ponderosa pines or open a bottle of wine creekside while you relax and breath in the refreshing mountain air.

We had a wonderful stay! We were close to so many of the areas attractions. The creek running through the property was my favorite thing. You could sit anywhere outside and listen to it. Caren was very accommodating when we asked for an early entry and responded quickly to any questions. I highly recommend staying here!

The property is spectacular all around. The location is close to all the attractions, restaurants, and beautiful hiking. The property is thoughtfully put together inside and out. The outside is like an oasis with the babbling creek, hammocks, and back patio with tons of entertainment. The inside is ready to host a family (or two) with games, large dinning table, and lots of gathering places. Our family loved the house. You can feel every ounce of care Caren puts into the property. Thank you for a beautiful, memory filled stay!

Fantastic stay at this beautiful and unique property. A group of colleagues stayed for a conference at the Broadmoor and I appreciated how isolated the bedrooms felt from each other, allowing for more privacy than expected. Would definitely stay again!

Annual Family Reunion

Every summer we meet our daughter and her family along with our son and his family in an interesting, exciting and entertaining location We were not disappointed with our stay on Stratton. The 2nd floor bunkhouse was perfect for our 4 grandchildren and the 3 bedrooms plus the Yurt was great and comfortable. Location was very convenient to our intended destinations. Our host was very responsive to our few questions. If you intend to visit Colorado Springs this would be a great place to stay.

INCREDIBLE HOUSE!

This house was amazing. Beautifully decorated and had all the amenities you could ever need. Caren was super easy to work with. Very responsive and accommodating. The beds were extremely comfortable and it was nice to have starter amenities for our stay (trash bags, soaps, spices, toilet paper, paper towels, etc)! We would love to return to this property. Oh...and we loved how close it was to the Broadmoor and the coffee shop, Sacred Ground!

Wonderful

The Stratton House is exceptional and was the perfect fit for our gathering that included ages 8 months (twins) to 65 years (grandparents). The house is unique with an abundance of character. The children (ages 7,6,4,3) loved the bunks in the loft. Very spacious, while cozy at the same time. Was excellent location to stay for one of the individuals in our group who was attending a conference at the Broadmoor.

Beautiful Home

Lovely home! The kitchen was well-appointed, and the place was as pictured. I especially appreciated the quality and quantity of dishes and cookware, as well as the bathroom towels and outside towels. The beds were comfortable, and having two fireplaces to go with the unseasonably chilly and wet weather we had was nice. I thought the sound of the creek was pleasant, and we really enjoyed the hot tub. Owner was very attentive and responsive, but we really didn't need anything because everything was already great.

Fun For All!!!

We enjoyed our 50th wedding anniversary with our kids and grandkids at this beautiful home. The location is close to so many fun activities. Carin was so pleasant and helpful. The grandkids chose staying home to play by the stream over a site-seeing adventure one afternoon. They loved seeing the deer in the yard as they played. Our group of ten (8-71 years of age) had various places to hang out in the house which accommodated gatherings as well as privacy. We all agreed this was a perfect house for our family vacation!!!

The Christmas House!

What a perfect Christmas we had at Caren's house tucked into the trees with deer prancing by the windows. This house is all that is described and more. The owner even decorated for the season! We had two young families with the grandparents, and there was plenty of room. Everything is tastefully decorated, beautiful bathrooms, very complete kitchen and comfy beds. The four grandchildren loved the upstairs bunk room. The location is very convenient to all the amenities around Colorado Springs. We would love to come again sometime! Thanks, Caren

Great house & setting

This house served our needs well. The house itself was large and had several areas where you could go for quiet/private time. The setting is amazing: large, private, and beautiful! The bedrooms were great, although the lower one was too hot for the couple that started out in there. When they opened windows, the screens were ripped at the bottom and let in bugs. It wasn't an issue for us because they moved to the bunk room. Lots of nice things in the house that often aren't supplied. Highly recommend this place.

These Okies can’t wait to return for a summer-stay

This cottage was EVERYTHING to my family 💗 COVID and life-circumstances had kept us apart for the last 2.5 years. This year, we decided that a weekend away in the mountains was exactly what we needed to center ourselves and our relationships 😍. Caren’s house is amazing! There was plenty of room for our family of 11 (6 adults & 5 kids) even without the yurt which was not accessible due to the cold. We had deer in the yard every single day. We got to experience a Colorado snowfall and New Years with the family was everything i could’ve dreamed of. Beds are comfy and the showers are near-perfection. We had groceries delivered from both Walmart and Safeway without incidence. The kitchen is well stocked. If i could make a specific recommendation about “Things to do” in Colorado Springs….PLEASE check out the Beginners Falconry Experience at the Broadmoor!!! It’s expensive but SO worth it for kids/adults who are into birds and nature! Truly an experience we will never forget! Seriously cannot wait to return to this little piece of heaven!

Way Way Beyond Our Expectations!

My wife and I take a trip every September to celebrate our anniversary. We decided to head west to take in the scenery in Colorado Springs. The available rentals in the area were abundant but it was important to find a property that checked all the boxes on our "must have" list. This listing indicated the property had everything we were looking for, was in a great central location for our exploration...and had excellent reviews. So we booked. Anytime you rent a property, your only window into the property is what is posted in the listing. Pictures can be deceiving and often times disappointment follows. Not here! We were drawn to the property from the photos but when we arrived, the home went way, way beyond our expectations. Unbelievably charming, clean, appointed and unique in so many ways. I actually texted Caren the owner within the first few minutes and told her we were already coming back again! From the booking process all the way to the end of our trip, Caren was extremely responsive and definitely on top of her game. She was very accommodating and gave us suggestions on activities and restaurants that were spot on. Throughout all the years I have been renting vacation homes, Caren tops the long list of people we have rented from. She is sincere in caring that her guests thoroughly enjoy their time. Without question, she is...the very best!
