About this property

Cottage Next to the Creek in Historic Cascade Canyon At The Foot Of Pikes Peak

This fully restored Victorian cottage with outdoor hot tub is situated on the banks of Cascade Creek in the small mountainous neighborhood of Cascade which is part of the Pikes Peak watershed. Great views of the creek from windows in the sitting area and
views of the mountain ridges from the wrap around porch and the sleeping loft.
The cottage is at the rear of a larger property with a main house and carriage house and is surrounded by old growth forest. The grounds: large trees, flower gardens, and a private creek side mini meadow are yours to enjoy. The cottage has a wrap around porch with chairs and a porch swing to gaze at the gardens and an outside patio next to the creek with table, chairs, and charcoal grill.
The renovated cottage is really a "tiny house"( 500 sq ')with all space efficiently dedicated. There is a small sitting area, a dining area, compact kitchen (fully equipped with microwave, stove, dishwasher, fridge, and washer/dryer), small bathroom with shower, and a light-filled sleeping loft with large windows of the mountains, forest, and night sky. The babbling creek serves as a sleeping tonic.
Several trails are outside the front door-one of which, if taken to its limit, takes you to the summit of Pikes Peak. Wildlife, since Cascade is in the foothills, is common—bears, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, and deer.

Perfect Spring Break Getaway
My boyfriend and I spent one of our first trips together at this beautiful little cottage. Perfectly situated outside by a rolling creek, we enjoyed staying in, as well as exploring Colorado Springs. House was clean and had everything we needed. Food, activities and sightseeing are only 10-20 minutes away from the property. Hot tub was incredible and I truly couldn't have asked for a better VRBO! I hope we get to come back someday.

Peaceful getaway
Very clean and cozy cabin in the mountains. We were very happy with the location of this cabin! Very easy to get to other parks and attractions. The hot tub was amazing and the cabin stayed warm on the colder nights. The caretaker was very helpful and he took time to make sure our questions were answered.

Amazing stay
We had such a great 4 night stay here. Everything was very thoughtfully accommodating and in such perfect location for all the fun activities. Yes, the stairs are steep but we prepared for that and they weren't as hard to trek as I thought. My only recommendation is to be careful when you step in the hot tub. You're stepping directly onto jets. I tore half my big toenail off and didn't find a first aid kit for bandaids.Easy check in and out and lots of privacy! Would definitely stay again!

Quaint little cottage
The property was clean, and beautiful. The vintage decor was an amazing touch. My teen daughter and I really enjoyed ourselves, the wifi slow and spotty which made our stay even more enjoyable because we had to put down the devices and reconnect with each other. The property manager was very helpful and checked in on us and even brought us extra blankets on one of the colder nights. The neighbor in the front was also very friendly. 10/10 would recommend!

Perfect Getaway
The cottage is very cozy for a couple looking to get away to the mountains. It has all of the amenities you’ll ever need while on vacation along with bonuses such as the bubbling creek and the hummingbirds that feed on the porch feeder. Excellent location and very relaxing.

Mountain Getaway
Overall a nice cabin and place to stay to explore the area. The couch unfortunately was not comfortable at all which made it hard to relax when not exploring. The hot tub was a nice bonus that we utilized daily. The stairs were mentioned in prior reviews so we knew what to expect. They are very tall and steep, which makes it a little challenging to go up and down especially with luggage. The grab bars on the wall were nice to hang on to so you felt safer going up and down. The owner responded quickly and was very nice. The grounds keeper was also very nice and brought us cookies for the Holiday.

Cute cozy little cabin
We enjoyed our anniversary trip to Colorado in this cute little cabin. They are located near so many things. It gives you the cabin in the woods feel, without the long drive to get there. 4 days was not enough time to get everything done that we wanted, so we will have to come back sometime soon.

Amazing location
This was by far one of the best vacations we had. The little cottage is a central location to so many hiking areas and attractions. Sitting in the hot tub and seeing the peaks was breathtaking. Our last night there we walked to Heizer Trail which is just past the cottage, and hiked up to one of the peaks we stared at every night. The cottage has just about everything you need for cooking as well. Would absolutely stay again, and we have already recommended to our friends and family!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property because of its historical significance. I like older homes and the 'big house" (behind which is the cottage) was the first home built in Cascade . Cascade itself was a resort community in the late 1800's, populated mostly by people from Kansas who bought second homes to escape the summer heat and is now populated by those of us who like the rural feel yet easy access to the city. Those of us who live here feel this is a special place.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, cool, peaceful, rural setting by the creek with old growth trees, beautiful gardens, and access to the trails.
