About this property

Welcoming cottage and artist's studio in the historic Old North End

Fresh flowers will greet you and local art adorns the walls in this beautiful mother-in-law cottage. Built in 1900 the cottage has been newly updated, maintaining the charm of an older home, while providing modern amenities for convenience. The new high quality queen mattress in the bedroom provides a comfortable night's sleep on soft sheets. The new sofa sleeper also has a thick upgraded mattress for additional guests. A blow up mattress can accommodate your 5th traveler or teenager that refuses to share a bed with his/her sibling! The cottage has a washer and dryer, especially convenient for those who have been on the road a while or play really hard! Kitchen includes a new dishwasher, microwave and a new gas stove for meals in. Locally roasted coffee for the coffee maker is a perk! Shower or soak in the antique clawfoot tub. Close to Penrose Main hospital and the Colorado College, and a nice stroll or bike ride into the downtown area. Besides being a welcoming and relaxing place to stay, this cottage also has an attached working artist's studio. If you have time during your stay, you can even book a class to play with the ancient medium of encaustics, the melting and fusing of pigments and beeswax! The cottage is tucked behind the older residence built in 1895, yet offers privacy amongst the beautiful gardens and sitting area you may enjoy. Off street parking.

Artful decor & comfy

The host was very attentive and making sure our arrival went smoothly. I felt like we were stepping into a storybook cottage. The kitchen was stocked with just enough of everything to cook for our cadet and enjoy meals together. Great neighborhood! Close to everything we needed.

Beautiful

We stayed here for our elopement in Colorado. It was a beautiful place to stay. The pictures did not do it justice. Fresh flowers were a great beautiful touch. The grounds were also beautiful. Such a nice, sweet little cottage that worked perfect for us. The host was very wonderful as well.

Would definitely stay here again!

The good karma cottage was a great home base for exploring Colorado springs. It's so close to everything, and the neighborhood is amazing! The house was super clean, had spaces on the front porch and in back to sit outside and just enjoy the fresh air. The house itself is super cute and was perfect for the two of us. The bed was really comfortable as well! The off Street Parking in back right by the cottage was a huge plus as well. Lori was great, super nice, and always available for any questions we had. I highly recommend you try her place out!

The perfect spot

Visiting our son at Colorado College - this was perfectly situated for easy access to the school, town, Garden of the Gods and more. A delightful home with lovely outdoor space in a quiet neighborhood. Lori was super responsive. Will stay again if the opportunity presents itself.

Enchanting Cottage from 1900

The neighborhood, host and accommodations are completely enchanting. They retained the history, while providing all the amenities one needs. Special touches such as close by gardens and floral touches were super. Only wish we had taken more time in CS. A real highlight in our travels! DF and JD 🤗🦋🙏

Fantastic place to stay!

This is a quaint carriage house in a beautiful neighborhood. Our host went above and beyond, even having the pull/out sofa made up for us due to our late arrival. The garden surrounding the property was gorgeous and we had a back porch to sit on to enjoy the crisp mountain air. We will work to stay here every time we visit Colorado Springs.

Honeymoon Getaway

My husband and I needed a break from our busy lives and The Good Karma Cottage was the perfect getaway. The garden was gorgeous and the house well kept and cozy. The proximity of the cottage to the main house was a little closer than we were prepared for but we were still left with plenty of privacy and with the location of the cottage so close to everything else it was the ideal place to stay! The linens were soft and gorgeous and everything about the quaint cottage was homey. We do wish there were a few more mirrors, perhaps a full length one just for getting ready purposes. Other than that everything was perfect! We really enjoyed our stay here!

Fun Little Spot

This little cottage was perfect. We loved the vintage and antique vibe and it felt secluded, tucked away in a back yard. On the other hand, it was convenient to run downtown for supper or entertainment. Lori was thoughtful and sweet. We are thankful for our time in this cottage!

Loved my stay!

My husband and I went to Colorado for our 25th wedding anniversary and the location was absolutely perfect! Lori‘s place was the perfect size for us. There’s a patio area that we ended up using more than we expected since the weather was so nice. Lori is very friendly and she has the sweetest dog that comes to visit you. I would recommend this location for sure!

Loved Old North End

We truly enjoyed our stay here, and we loved the location and ambiance of the entire area. We were able to walk to a variety of restaurants (20-25 min walk) or it was a short drive (5-10 min) to downtown Colorado Springs and surrounding area. The cottage was lovely, the bed was very comfortable, and Lori was a great host. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay.

Super cute!

My favorite thing about this cottage was the outdoor area. It’s full of beautiful plants and flowers. The front porch is just the right place to relax with a glass of wine and talk about the day. The location can’t be beat. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. Overall, the cottage is lovely and the owner is great. The only negative for me was the cookware and utensils. But then again we love to chef it up and are used to the best. We managed though and would recommend this cottage.

So Much Character!

This cottage has so much character! It is absolutely precious. Great location near west side. Lori was so pleasant to work with and accommodated us with flexibility and cheerfulness. I've stayed in many VRBO's and Lori was the best hostess we've had by far. Thank you, Lori, for making this a wonderful and memorable getaway!

About the host

Host profile image
I love being a working artist and decorative painter, as well as a massage therapist. I love to entertain and travel. I look forward to hearing about your adventures, and hope to share my love for this area, helping you create a memorable stay. I can point you to some great restaurants, art galleries and wonderful yoga studios too!

Why they chose this property

I love the Old North End neighborhood! It has a small town feel, where people walk their dogs, stroll and ride bikes with their children and people are so friendly! I also love my home and the gardens, it really is a peaceful retreat. I feel fortunate to also have my art studio on my property, can't beat the commute when inspiration calls!

What makes this property unique

The Old North End is truly one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in this city! The large tree lined streets and the variety of architectural styles make walking in the neighborhood a real delight. It is a very friendly and safe place to live, a real caring community. I love being minutes away from the downtown area and the westside, with so many beautiful areas to play in and explore, like the Garden of the Gods and Red Rocks open space.
