Summary:
This southwestern boho cabin is tucked amongst the trees in a historic, quiet neighborhood at the foot of famed Pikes Peak. With an ample front deck, floor to ceiling windows, and a private, fenced back yard with hot tub, gas fire pit and s'more fixings waiting for you on arrival, the cabin has wonderful forest and mountain view while within 10 minutes of culture and conveniences in Manitou and Colorado Springs. The place to get away for a romantic retreat, family fun, or a working vacation!
The Space:
The newly redecorated cabin boasts vaulted ceilings, large windows, and skylights that flood the space with stunning natural light, while the original wood work and wood-burning moss rock fireplace provides a cozy, rustic feel reminiscent of the cabin's history.

Interaction with Guests:
I love helping guests make the most of their time in our beautiful area and I live very close by, but I give my guests their space unless I'm asked to help out or say "hi" in person. I will be available throughout your stay and love to give advice on local restaurants, attractions, and adventures.
