The Mountain Retreat is situated on an acre of forested land, with an ideal mix of privacy and close proximity to all the sights in and around Colorado Springs. The home has great views of Ute Pass, and the surrounding mountains. Step out the front door, or on to wrap around deck, and the beautiful nature that Colorado is known for is there. Hummingbirds, deer, fox, and Black Bear just to name a few.

The home is large and spacious, with vaulted ceilings and plenty of room for friends and family.There are 2 separate living areas within the house. The basement has it's own full kitchen and living room, with 2 additional bedrooms. There are 2 parking spaces in the garage as well as 2 parking spots on the driveway. The home also comes with High-speed Wifi and cable. Other amenities include a porch hammock. On the Wrap around deck, there is a Propane Grill and plenty of outdoor seating for bbq's or dinner parties. Don't forget the 6 person hottub with LED mood lighting and water features.

Mountain retreat

We enjoyed the house it was very spacious and plenty of room for our big group. The road is very curvy and the driveway is downhill with 3 vehicles was a bit of a challenge at first but we figured it out. The views from the back deck were beautiful.

Great visit, once you get inside!

We booked this mountain retreat in February for a March visit. I understood March in the Rocky's could be snowy and this year did not disappoint. When we arrived at the house, the driveway was filled with snow! There was a 3 foot drift at the end of the driveway! We spent the first hour shoveling the driveway out so we could just get to the house! The owner did not have anyone to plow it nor was prepared to have guests arrive safely. Guests do have access to an oversized two car garage to park in. This was a nice perk. Once we got inside, things were fine. The house was comfortable. We traveled with 9 people and everyone had a place to rest. The kitchen had what we needed to make meals. One of the kids then went to use the bathroom to discover there was no toilet paper. The welcome book said each bathroom would have one roll and a spare under each sink. There were two rolls for the entire house. The listing said a propane grill was available for guest use. It was actually a charcoal grill and only 1/8 of a bag of charcoal was available. Not a huge deal, but would have been nice to know for planning purposes. The hot tub was hot and functioning properly. The cover could stand to be replaced. It was water-logged and extremely heavy. We needed two adults to just get it off! The location was great. Close to everything we wanted to see. There was a Walmart within 10 minutes to get groceries or toilet paper. The owner did work with us about the TP and charcoal issue.

Beautiful Property, Incredible Views

The home was great for the two of us and would be absolutely perfect for large groups. The views are stunning, the hot tub is a fantastic bonus and the garage is great. The bed was comfy, and the couch was great for relaxing. Super easy check in and check out.
