Easy access year round and a short walk to shops, restaurants and bars on our downtown strip makes this place a favorite when planning your trip. Your furry friends could tag along as we are sure they will love the large fenced-in backyard. Just let us know you plan to bring them before booking.
The Space:
The well appointed 3 bedrooms, 2 baths could easily accommodate up to 6 guests with plenty of room for everyone. The two lower bedrooms and walk-in shower with sitting bench and grab bars are great for guests with mobility issues.
Open concept space including living room, dining table, large kitchen and work desk allows for everyone to be included in the fun. Board games, card decks and puzzles are provided to keep you entertained while you unwind in the evening after a long day of fun activities. A pack-n-play and high chair could be made available upon request.
The place provides three comfortable beds to give you a restful sleep, one king size in the upper level master bedroom and two queen size in the main level bedrooms. Private deck off the master bedroom overlooking Pikes Peak. Washer and dryer and two car garage with remote control door are available to all guests.
Large deck off the living room appointed with a gas grill and outdoor dining table leads into the extra large fenced in back yard. Although in a central location, the place is roaming with singing birds, hummingbirds, squirrels, chipmunks, deer and occasionally a bear or mountain lion. Beware of your small pets left unattended in the backyard after dusk. A large group of deer is residing in the neighborhood and is often seen taking a break in our front yard. Please be respectful and kind but do not attempt to feed them. Feeding wildlife is prohibited by the city and you would want to avoid the large fines.
