About this property

Modern Manitou — Stream, Big Trees, Boulders, Wildlife, King Bed, Foosball, W/D

Relax, nature surrounds you in this modern retreat.

🏞 Tranquil stream through big boulders
🌳 Large trees provide shade in backyard
👑 King suite w/ European soaking tub and rain shower
🥩 Equipped kitchen w/ outdoor BBQ & dining
⚽ Game area: TV, foosball, board games, & books for all ages
🦌 Deer, turkeys and other wildlife common in the area
🥾 Hiking, biking and climbing in nearby Red Rocks Open Space & Garden of the Gods
🌶️ 5 min walk to amazing Crystal Park Cantina restaurant


The home features three story windows and gives the perception of living in a tree house with a green tree canopy in the summer, gold leaves in the fall and views of Pikes Peak in the winter. The property is cantilevered over a year-round stream. It is very common to see deer and wild turkeys wandering through the property.

HOUSE:
Keep warm and cozy in the winter with central forced-air heat and a 3-story stacked fireplace in the living room (main floor), game room (basement) and master suite (upstairs). Central Air-conditioning plus an additional window unit in the master suite will help maintain a comfortable stay during the warmer months.

4 BEDROOMS & 3 BATHROOMS:
- The lofted master bedroom (upstairs) offers a relaxing retreat complete with king size bed, walk-out roof top deck with chaise loungers, fireplace, Asian style pocket doors, and walk-in closet. You will never want to leave the spa style 5-piece master bath with a stand-alone European tub, rain shower, dual sinks, exposed steel beam, modern tile and custom concrete touches.
- The other 3 bedrooms (1 upstairs, and 2 main level) all include queen size beds with high-end pillow top mattresses and feature contemporary furniture and fixtures. The upstairs bathroom offers a modern vessel sink and soaking tub. The main floor bathroom is equally as unique and has an integrated two tone concrete sink with fiber optic stars that twinkle over a mountain range when you wash your hands.

LIVING:
Enjoy watching the peaceful stream while relaxing on the couch (also a queen sized sofa sleeper). If you need more - turn on the fire, watch your favorite show or enjoy a board game with your family and friends! This is what a vacation in the mountains is made of!

KITCHEN & DINING:
The commercial style kitchen is fully equipped to make cooking at home a pleasurable experience. You'll find stainless steel countertops and appliances, hanging pot rack, glass cook top, and modern cabinets. There are two primary dining areas - one indoors and one on an outdoor cantilevered dining deck - both of which allow you to enjoy the stream year round.

LAUNDRY:
The laundry room in the basement contains 1 washer and 2 dryers to help keep up with the dirty clothes you create while exploring the mountains.

ENTERTAINMENT:
In the walkout basement, you will find a TV / game room with lounging couch, fireplace, and foosball table. This recreation room walks out into the private backyard which features a hammock and steps that spiral into the stream. In addition to the hammock, the backyard has a set of 10 Adirondack chairs so that your family can enjoy a cocktail, watch some wildlife, and chat about your vacation stream side!

PARKING:
There is offstreet parking in the driveway for several cars. Guests can use the 2 car garage but note that the clearance is low and it can only be opened via inside the house (no remote available).

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS:
- Garden of the Gods (3 minute drive) – also a great run from the house if you are so inclined

- Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (15 minute drive)

RESPECT TOWARD NEIGHBORS:
We love to welcome guests that are seeking a quiet and restful setting. The neighborhood is home to amazing animals as well as longtime neighbors and we expect that guests will be respectful of the surrounding environment. If you're seeking to party or have kids that will not respect neighboring properties, this is likely not the right home for you. To help maintain a tranquil setting, we use a noise monitoring device which is 100% privacy compliant and endorsed by VRBO. It does NOT record actual sounds or conversations, it simply monitors the noise level (measured in decibels) so that our home is being used for residential purposes, not wild parties. We look forward to hosting you at our stream side retreat.

RENTAL AGREEMENT:
Upon reservation confirmation, Guest will need to complete a Rental Agreement which outlines the terms and conditions for use of our property. This is the same as the terms listed on VRBO but we require a signature as a condition of our permit with the city.

City of Manitou Springs approved short term rental permit #1788

Fun Birthday weekend with friends!
This was a wonderful home for a long weekend with friends to celebrate a birthday! We were 4 families, with 2 kids and had plenty of room for cooking together and playing games. We we're there in February so we didn't spend much time outside, but we did have deer visit one morning. A small snowfall made the forested backyard even more beautiful. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend!

FANTASTIC VRBO!!!
Chose this home for the 4 bedrooms. Traveling with husband, adult son, daughter in law and 2- teenage grandkids. LOVED HOME! Great location too.Complete with everything you could think of! Beautiful creek in backyard. Saw mule deer and wild turkeys. Only thing I wish check in was at 3 and check out at 11, not 4 & 10.

Wonderful stay!
Our first time in this region of Colorado and the house worked perfectly for our group of 4 adults! The house had everything we needed. If I had to be picky I would say the pillows are a bit too flat (ready for some new ones), the downstairs bathroom sink area is quite small, if you are larger it may be hard to fit at it. The house and area was very quiet though, we definitely would rent again! You’re close to everything touristy too.

Great sibling vacation.
Location was great--felt private among the trees. Enjoyed watching wildlife from the deck. Bathroom floor in master bedroom was slick. Bathroom on main floor was small. Everything else was good.

Family vacation
Close to nearly everything we wanted to see and do. Overall was a good stay with my wife, kids, grandkids and 89 year old dad. The biggest draw back, was the closeness of the neighboring houses and the lack of outdoor space.

Nice stay
The property was very nice and exactly what we needed. The kitchen was well stocked. The rooms were a decent size. The check out of 10am is a little early, especially with 6 adults, but I should have asked for a slightly later time. Overall, it served its purpose for a small family getaway.

Manitou 50th
I invited 9 other gals to stay in Manitou Springs for my early "50th." This VRBO fit the ticket - 4 bedroom/3 bath. It was clean, spacious, and very centrally located. If you stay here, the Cantina is walkable and delicious. If you plan to hike the Manitou Incline - GO EARLY! Great trip. We stayed 4 nights.

What makes this property unique

Conveniently located, this home is a wonderful option for those interested in visiting the Manitou Springs area while not sacrificing the quaint charm of a stream side property full of abundant wildlife.
