Great LOCATION!!. This early 1900's cottage has the BEST freeway access for all of your local exploring! This Artist's Cottage has been recently remodeled. It is nested in the heart of Historical downtown Monument, a small community on the North-side of Colorado Springs. It is adjacent to a homemade-ice cream store, and kitty-corner from a park that hosts a spring-to-fall Saturday Farmer's Markets. The Santa Fe Trail is only one block away and is used by joggers, walkers and bicyclists. There are restaurants in short walking distance and freeway access is 2-minutes away. It hosts a new 200 square foot back deck with sun shade for relaxing, eating and enjoying the beautiful summer weather.
My family stayed here over the July 4th weekend and it was amazing! The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and the parade. My little ones loved going next door to Lolleyâs for ice cream.
Loved being in old town Monument. Loved the idea of popsicle stick notes. Owner is artist and his studio is behind cottage. A must visit as is Lollys ice cream shop.
The cottage was so charming and located within walking distance of wonderful restaurants and shops. Daryl was extremely helpful and so knowledgeable about the area.
My daughter and her friends went to Denver for a concert and loved their stay in this cozy cottage! They especially loved the close proximity to the farmer's market as well as the coffee/ice cream shop right next door!
I thoroughly enjoyed the Artist Cottage. It was very clean and well stocked. It was in a great location and I was able to work around Monument to visit the restaurants and shops. I will definitely stay there again if I get to visit Monument again.
The cottage was perfect for our family of four. It had everything it needed for our week stay. The owner was so awesome and really made sure we were taken care of. We really enjoyed visiting and seeing amazing Colorado.
Wonderful house, very welcoming. We enjoyed our stay very much. Great location. We were able to walk to restaurants and to the stores. We especially enjoyed the farmers market right outside the front door on Saturday.
Daryl was easy to communicate with. Check in was a breeze. Location was great- close to freeway but not too close. The home was cozy and comfortable. Everything we needed and more. We would DEFINITELY stay again!
Daryl was wonderful with all of his communication before, during and after our stay! The cottage has everything you need to be comfortable - a lot of wonderful little touches! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!!!!
We had a wonderful spontaneous stay at this very thoughtful cottage. It was equipped we everything we could need for an unprepared road trip to Colorado after our Christmas flights were canceled. Lovely location too. Hope to stay here again!
Very clean and convenient location. Beautiful town, mountain view from the back yard. Super comfortable space. Daryl was very kind and helpful. Would definitely stay there again!
We stayed at this cottage while moving my daughter to Castle Rock. This VBRO was perfect for us. Centrally located between Castle Rock and Colorado Springs, the cottage was cozy and well appointed with everything we needed.
The outdoor space was amazing!
My Mother and I stayed at this properly. We were in town to visit family for a baseball tournament and grandson confirmation. This property was close to my daughters house. The single level and walk in shower worked well for my elderly mother. We would stay here again.
The Artist's Cottage was exactly as advertised and had everything we needed for our stay. The location provided convenient access to the local shops, restaurants, and outdoor activities. My wife and I loved the outdoor sitting area which was great for relaxing at the end of the day with a few drinks! The owner was very responsive to any requests we had throughout our stay.
This was the quaintest and best stocked rental property that we have ever stayed at. The mattresses were comfortable, linens were thick and soft, and there was ample storage space. The owners were incredibly thoughtful in how they stocked the kitchen and leaving special treats and snacks since we stayed over Christmas, even shoveling snow off the walkway for us. We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more in such a beautiful place.
Beautifully renotvated cottage that is one of the original 20 homes in Monument! 1 hour south of Denver, 20-30 minutes north of Colorado Springs, providing access to Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, and Manitou Springs. It proved a great location for "basecamp"! Perfect amount of space for a family of four, with a private backyard and tastefully furnished deck. Right in the heart of historic Monument, you have an excellenct ice cream shop next door, tasty sandwich shop down the road, and a cute playground a couple blocks away. Don't miss the local artist studios! Beat those hotel prices, enjoy the privacy, and book the Artist's Cottage now!
Wow this property set the bar of what a VRBO experience should be! Everthing imaginable was provided within mean by the hosting party. Tha k you for a wonderful experience.
This was perfect Vrbo experience. My son and I stayed down in Monument for hockey and the location of the cottage was perfect for us to explore town and make quick runs to Colorado Springs. Daryl was a great host and the cottage was the best kind of quirky. Super clean, well appointed and comfortable. The location was exceptional and the town beat all expectations. Dining out, yoga, running, biking are all right here. Thanks Daryl!
I can not say enough good things about this cabin. Beautiful craftsmanship, had everything you could need and very clean. Monument is a quaint town and you can walk to everything. Convenient to Colorado Springs without the busy and traffic. Enjoyed meeting Daryl and seeing his art studio. Great place to stay for activities at USAFA. I will be back!
When our family relocated to Colorado Springs in 2014, we found this gem of a property right in downtown Monument, CO. The property has two separate buildings, a commercial building and a small home. My dream came true when we discovered exactly what we were searching for, my art studio that also has an income property.
The Artist's Cottage is one of the first homes in Monument and it dates back to the late 1800's or early 1900's. The remodel took 4.5 years as i was only able to work on it 1.5 day/week. The original home was only around 500 sq ft, and as was commonly done in those days, it was added onto 4 times. It has an old fashioned cellar that stays about 56 degrees year 'round.
The back deck has most recently been upgraded and has a sun/wind shade structure for relaxing in the beautiful outdoors. My art studio/gallery will be up and running in the fall as i begin to teach art classes to home-schooling groups.
