WALK-THROUGH:
Enter the upper level of the 4850 square foot house from the front door. You'll find yourself in the Great Room which includes the large kitchen with huge island/bar seating, a gorgeous live-edge acacia wood table (milled locally) that seats 10-12, and living room featuring wood burning fireplace. There are a few steps up as you enter from the porch or garage but other than that the upper level doesn't require walking on stairs to get to the kitchen, dining room, bedrooms, and bathrooms.
The main level has 5 bedrooms including a master with ensuite bath at the end of the hall, 3 hall bedrooms with easy access to a large hall bath, and a "back bedroom" and accompanying hall bath for those who want to sleep a little further from the action, near the laundry room.
Walk downstairs to the lower level and you'll see the downstairs lounge room including comfy sectional couches, a large TV, a full kitchen, and plenty of seating at a both dining bar-height tables, as well as a pool table flanked by two stately ceramic deer trophies. The lower dining area walks out to a large patio under the deck with access to the back yard. Down the hall there are 4 more bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is kid-themed room with bunk beds! These rooms share one hall bath with shower (no tub).
Guest Access:
You have access to the whole house and back yard. The pool house is off limits. The pool is NOT functioning and is out of commission for the foreseeable future. Please note, we have routine lawn care & mowing every other Wednesday during the Spring and Summer. Our crew will do their best to be quick and quiet as to not disrupt your stay in any way.
Check in is at 5pm and check out time is by 10am. We do our best to accommodate early check in and/or late check out requests.

Please note, the earliest check in time available is 2pm and the latest checkout time we can accommodate is noon.
The Neighborhood:
The home sits on a 3/4 acre lot with 10 acres of wooded city park backing up to the property; Union Open Space trail-head is located on the corner of the lot leading to hundreds of miles of trails great for hiking, running, and biking. Take a walk on the trails or the three cul-de-sacs and enjoy the charming homes and wonderful landscaping of the neighborhood. The retreat backs to Union Meadows Open Space where you can walk, run, or bike for miles (including connecting to the city's famed Palmer Park), or for more contemplative walkers just step outside the back yard and wander deer trails among the ponderosa pines, junipers, and cottonwood trees while discovering limestone formations and rose quartz, all within a few minutes of the house.
We are about an hour and half away from downtown Denver and two and half hours to the nearest ski resort, Breckenridge. Local favorite Monarch Mountain ski resort is two and half hours drive from the home.
Getting Around:
Most guests will want their own vehicle or rental car in Colorado Springs. We have Lyft and Uber as well.

We welcome indoor gatherings of all kinds as long as house rules are respected and parking is limited to the driveway.

I live nearby and would love to make suggestions or otherwise help you get the most from your time in the Pikes Peak Region if you ask. You may see me briefly if I need to take care of something on the property but by default I will give you your privacy.
