About this property

Summer is here! Hiking, biking, white water rafting, golf, pickleball, sunshine!

Step into the past with a visit to this incredible custom ranch-style home, built with all the unique details of the iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The brick exterior with monochromatic colors, a cleverly designed stack stone fireplace, and a rectangular picture window all add to the charm and character of this mid-century modern gem. It's truly a part of an era when stylish, simple Usonian-style small houses were designed for the middle-class American family's way of life. Think big band music, cool furniture, community gatherings, and wholesome family times.

The home is located on a beautiful corner lot, with views of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods, and just a short walk to charming Old Colorado City, full of shops, restaurants, and parks. With so many attractions just a short drive away, this home is the perfect place to experience all the great things that Colorado has to offer.

Outdoors, a sunny and bright patio is perfect for soaking in the 320 annual days of sunshine. Inside, you'll find an updated mid-century modern kitchen bathed in natural light, with a wood-burning fireplace in the living room. The master suite and two other bedrooms are located on the main floor.

The basement serves as a family-friendly entertainment zone, boasting a wet bar, big screen TV, and the perfect place for a game of ping pong. There's also a full-size clothes washer and dryer, and there's plenty of parking too!

This beautiful house offers a trip down memory lane, back to a simpler time and a way of living that many of us still cherish today.

It's a 45-minute scenic drive to Cripple Creek, travel 50 miles further west over some of the most beautiful Colorado Mountain passes and you'll arrive in Summit County. The ski towns of Breckenridge, Keystone, Frisco, Dillon, and Copper Mountain are great places to ski in the winter and enjoy the mountain hospitality and serenity that abounds.

Red Rocks Amphitheater and Fiddler's Green concert are in nearby Denver and host some of the world's finest musicians.

The best place to stay

This location was the very best! Central to USAFA, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, and most of Colorado Springs. The house had plenty of space with lots of things to do when you were not out doing things. Especially enjoyed drinking coffee out on front patio looking at the peak! Would 100% stay here again

Great Girls Trip!

I stayed here with 6 of my friends from high school. Since we are all 62, it was so fun to reminisce about the past and compare furnishings to those we grew up with. Having so many beds was great as no one had to share one. And many enjoyed the hot tub and we closed out our last night with a fire and s'mores, and were able to watch football outside also. Could not get any better than that!

Family Trip 2024

We had a wonderful week at this house. It was in the perfect location to visit Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, and Cañon City. We walked to the Old Colorado City strip from the house a few times to walk the shops and eat dinner. Nancy was an excellent host and the property was exactly as described. Would stay here again and will recommend this place to friends.

Perfect house in perfect location!

My family of adult children and I stayed here for a weekend visit. It was like walking back in time, in a good way! The decor was very retro 70/80’s and very cool! Accommodations were comfortable and there was a TON of space! We enjoyed games in the downstairs, and watching football and using the hot tub in the backyard. The location was perfect for visiting Garden of the Gods, the Cheyanne Zoo, and walking around the wonderful town on Manitou Springs. Wish we had more time! Nancy was a great host, communicating throughout the checkin and checkout process. Will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Perfect for a multi-generational family stay!

Our family enjoyed our pre-holiday stay immensely! From ping pong, card games to football game watching while in the hot tub with the outdoor fireplace roaring, we also enjoyed the close proximity to a grocery store, North Pole and a charming Italian restaurant, Paravicinis, nearby. We had a relaxing and memory making time. Highly recommend this place! In fact, we plan to make it an annual getaway!

Wonderful Family Time and Amazing View

I don't know which was the best part: view from the front window, hot tub, location or plenty of room for everyone. All of the above!My husband and I celebrated the holidays with our three adult children at this wonderful home. We used all the amenities - streaming, ping pong, grill, outdoor fireplace for s'mores, outdoor tv and of course the hot tub. Plenty of room to spread out and lots of spaces to come together. We cooked in for several meals and ate out at local restaurants - easy walking distance. So close to Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak and more. The view from the front picture window is just amazing. The daily visiting deer were a treat. And the host is perfect! Very friendly, not intrusive at all, and quick responses to the couple of questions we had. Highly recommend this property for families and group get-togethers.
