Just 1 mile from the Pikes Peak entrance, this log sided cabin is your basecamp for Colorado's most iconic summit. Step outside and you're practically there.
Just steps from a rushing mountain creek, fall asleep to the sound of water and wake to sunrise over Waldo Canyon. Deer and wildlife make regular appearances on the property. Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, and top trails and breweries are all a short drive away. Two private acres, total quiet, and the perfect Colorado escape.
The stone wood burning fireplace anchors a warm, rustic living room, perfect for unwinding after a day on the mountain. The fully equipped kitchen includes a drip coffee maker, with a dining area for the whole group. Two bedrooms sleep up to five, one queen and two twins, plus a pullout couch for flexibility. One full bath.
Strong WiFi, smart TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime and HBO Max, and an Alexa music system round out the amenities. There's even a landline on site for emergencies.
Guest Access: Guests have full access to the entire 2-acre property, including creekside access and 360-degree mountain views of Waldo Canyon and the Pikes Peak foothills. The property sits at the end of a quiet dead-end road, private and secluded, with no through traffic.
The road is unpaved and can be bumpy, but any standard sedan, truck, SUV or van handles it fine. Low-clearance sports cars are not recommended. In winter, front-wheel or 4WD is recommended and the road is plowed when snowfall exceeds 2-3 inches.
The cabin is also great for remote work. Fast, reliable WiFi and total quiet make it easy to stay productive with inspiring views as your backdrop.
There is a second cabin on the property managed by us that is occasionally occupied by other guests. If you're traveling with a larger group, we manage both and offer a discount when renting both: VRBO: 3386638
Interaction w Guest: We own 2 VRBO properties across the yard from one another, so if you have a larger group, you may inquire about our other listing to see if you can all be together with your own space.
Anything Else: Dogs are welcome, up to 2 max, with a $25 cleaning fee per dog. Please notify us of breed and number before arrival. Dogs are not permitted on furniture and owners must clean up after them. No cats please.
There is an exterior security camera at the driveway entrance, pointed away from the home.
The home is on septic, please flush toilet paper only.
One bonus worth mentioning: you're on city water, so the tap water is clean and great tasting. No need to pack bottled water.
