Cottage Next to the Creek in Historic Cascade Canyon At The Foot Of Pikes Peak
About this cottage rental
Nestled in Cascade-Chipita Park, this lovely cottage for $143 per night is a great choice for your next trip. This fully restored Victorian cottage with outdoor hot tub is situated on the banks of Cascade Creek in the small mountainous neighborhood of Cascade which is part of the Pikes Peak watershed. Great views of the creek from windows in the sitting area and views of the mountain ridges from the wrap around porch and the sleeping loft. The cottage is at the rear of a larger property with a main house and carriage house and is surrounded by old growth forest. The grounds: large trees, flower gardens, and a private creek side mini meadow are yours to enjoy. The cottage has a wrap around porch with chairs and a porch swing to gaze at the gardens and an outside patio next to the creek with table, chairs, and charcoal grill. The renovated cottage is really a "tiny house"( 500 sq ')with all space efficiently dedicated. There is a small sitting area, a dining area, compact kitchen (fully equipped with microwave, stove, dishwasher, fridge, and washer/dryer), small bathroom with shower, and a light-filled sleeping loft with large windows of the mountains, forest, and night sky. The babbling creek serves as a sleeping tonic. Several trails are outside the front door-one of which, if taken to its limit, takes you to the summit of Pikes Peak. Wildlife, since Cascade is in the foothills, is common—bears, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, and deer. Check out https://www.peakradar.com/ for great area attractions and events.

We enjoyed our time in Colorado Springs! Wish we had gotten a little better weather but, over all the scenery definitely made up for it. As for this little cottage we stayed in, seemed much more like glamping. If you make many bathroom visits in the night, going up and down the stairs is a, wake-me-up. Also, a challenge for those of us 55+ or 6' tall trying to get luggage upstairs, especially with the lack of oxygen, at this elevation. We live at 385' above sea level compared to the 7745' of elevation here at the base of Pike's Peak.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Very quiet, secluded, and conveniently located at less than a 3 min drive to the entrance of Pike's Peak Hwy and very close to many more attractions!

Overall great experience. The location was GORGEOUS! Though it was not as secluded as we originally thought it would be. You are surrounded by a main house and garage in front of the cabin and two more houses towards the back of the cabin.
Cleanliness was 50:50- Some areas looked amazing and others were not so great. Appliances needed a deep clean on the inside (Washer and Dryer). Shower floor NEEDS to be replaced. Caulking not properly done, Shower Floor looks as if it is falling apart and cracking around all edges with big gapes in flooring. Covered with a squishy mat covered with mildew. (We personally did not feel comfortable stepping anywhere in the shower which was very disappointing.)
Customer Service: The property managers were super helpful and made adjustments when the oven/stove went out during our stay!!
Overall, Great Cabin, Great location, Just a few small fixes needed! We loved our stay!

We highly recommend this cozy little cabin. We spent Christmas week 2023 there and it is so conveniently close to so many cool attractions and restaurants. The hot tub was awesome!
We were able to check off several of our bucket list items including Manitou Springs, the Manitou incline, Garden of the Gods, Pike’s Peak, Cave of the Winds, all of which were within 10 miles of the cabin! 👍👍👍👍👍

My husband and I stayed here while celebrating our 15th anniversary. It snowed most of the time we were there so we didn’t get to do much outside around the property, but inside was cozy and I felt like we were in a little snow globe. It was beautiful. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and there is coffee, creamer, and tea bags on hand, as well as many spices and condiments in the fridge. The sound of the creek right outside the home is so peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay. I will say the home looks very isolated in pictures, but it’s actually very close to several other homes. The futon in the living area was very uncomfortable if you will be sitting there for long. The bed is very soft and we usually prefer something firmer. We have AT&T and had fine service in the area. The host was very responsive and I would recommend the property.

The cottage is very cute and the location is close to everything, easy hiking, shops, restaurants, attractions, etc. It is very tiny, and the stairs are tricky, which we expected. The cons
1) as several have said and i wish i had noticed before booking, its not very isolated. There are other homes all around and the hottub is definitely not private we chose to skip it. Not a deal breaker.
2) The heat source is a gas stove which comes with explicit instruction not to adjust unless from the thermostat. After spending the first night unable to get the temperature in the cabin above 61 degrees, we adjusted the flame at the stove and were able to get it warm.
3) it's old, and very drafty, especially in the shower
4) the couch in the living area is a very uncomfortable fouton. I was looking forward to getting cozy with my husband and a cup of coffee here, but it was like sitting on a dorm room sofa
5) last but certainly not least is the shower. We almost relocated on the second day purely for this. The floor of the shower is in desparate need of replacing. It looks as though they tried to reenamel it and its cracking, peeling, and just overall gross looking. They've put a foam mat over it that has mildew spots and just doesnt feel very clean. On a listing that says its been "fully renovated" I did not expect this at all and it should have been disclosed in clear pictures. For this reason alone I would not return to this property, and almost left in the midst of our trip.

We came to Colorado for our honeymoon and could NOT have been happier with this little cottage!! It was so tiny and somewhat difficult to get up/down to the next floor, but we're young and nimble. ;] the view from our backyard was very private, breathtaking, and unbelievable. We had everything we needed in the house and all our activities took place either right off our highway or just into town. It was the perfect vacation home!!!

We enjoyed our stay st the cabin. Location was really convenient to running into Manitou Springs for a bite to eat. We slept with the window open at night and listened to the stream.

We loved our stay in this little cabin. The kitchen was perfect to make morning breakfast and coffee before days on adventuring in the area.

This is a GREAT place. The location is wonderful as you have the stream next to it and it is not in the crowded city.
The pics and description tell the story, so read and look. Things to note:
1. It is old and only heat source is a gas stove. It can keep it warm, but when it's very cold out, it could be a bit harder. Same likely applies when it is hot out as there is no AC, but come on folks, it's Colorado. How hot can it get in the mountains?
2. Bedroom is up steep stairway and bathroom is downstairs. If you get up at night to go, be ready for that. If you have bad knees, consider this as well (though the couch downstairs is a futon so fully usable as an option).
When there, we had a small issue (unavoidable due to nature) but the team went out of their way to fix everything and ensure our trip was great! Dealing with several of their staff was an excellent experience as they were all wonderfully nice and accommodating to try to guarantee our trip met all of our expectations. I can't recommend any more highly!!!

The place was beautiful and amazing. The check in and out process was easy and efficient. Great recommendation for places to eat. The hot tub was good but the jets did not work and the lights did not work. Overall the stay was great.

We arrived to a mop bucket full of dirty water and rags laying on the porch. The landscaping was a little run down. As far as the inside of the home it was pretty clean. The bathroom definitely needs to be updated dated. The loft is definitely not friendly for tall guests. My husband hit his head a few times. The hot tub was not very warm and the lights didn't work. Overall nit a bad stay just a few improvements could be made.

Me and my husband spent our honeymoon here and we loved the cottage. It’s located perfectly around a lot of attractions!!! If we come back, we will definitely try to book this cottage again!!! I’d like to thank the owner for being LGBTQ friendly as well!!!

Tiny cottage but perfect for 2. Easy access and located close to restaurants and attractions. It is not as secluded as stated in the listing as many trees have been cut down. Not much privacy. Photos of the property (cottage and yard) need to be updated!

Perfect cottage for a mountain getaway! The place is small but has everything we needed for two people. We really enjoyed listening to to stream outside the window and the close proximity to hiking trails and Manitou Springs

Loved it. Peaceful and perfect location. We weren’t there much other than to sleep, but it was perfect for us. We were there in July, and it was hot. Would be an added benefit to have ceiling fans to circulate the air. Although, I’d definitely stay there again. It was great.

Beautiful serene quaint cottage in an English garden setting with the mesmerizing sound of a bubbling brook. Jacuzzi is perfectly set next to the brook. Lots of local tourist attractions with in 10 minutes of driving. Quiet neighborhood. Hiking trails are located all around. Hostess has paid attention to the smallest details. We will return. Improvements: Large vehicles will have difficulty parking is set for economy cars only.

Beautiful property! The hot tub is amazing at night with the mountain silhouette. Found everything we needed in the home. Ease of use with appliances and cooking items in the kitchen. We had the best time, everything is close and accessible in town. Hiking trails with in walking distance of your front door!

My wife and I spent our honeymoon here and loved it! It’s in a fantastic spot, just down the street(literally) from the entrance to pikes peak. Also within a 15 minute drive to the garden of the gods park and an hour and a half from the royal gorge.
The creek creates a pleasant atmosphere and you can’t beat a few minutes in the hot tub to finish off the night.
The only negative of our stay is that I’m a taller fellow and the bed was a little short, but other than that it was an awesome experience.

My partner and I stayed here for 4 nights for my birthday and to trial a potential move to the area. It was an absolutely spectacular experience. The cabin was in a prime location, very clean, and very comfortable. The host even left me a Happy Birthday note.
Overall, it was exactly what we expected per the listing, and then some. Yes, the stairs are steep, but we thought it was charming and it didn’t really bother us. Internet was a good speed for watching movies, and the hot tub was AMAZING. We even got to see a bear climbing up the hill while taking a soak. We fell in love with the area and honestly each other all over again. Thank you!

Clean, comfortable, and cute spot nestled in the mountains. While the location isn't completely private, it felt like it was and we were so happy with our stay!

The check in process was very easy. The home inside was very clean and accurate to the description. The outside pictures however are pretty outdated, the cottage is surrounded with other properties now and all the trees behind it have been tore down. It was actually alittle depressing but not the owners fault. The home had everything we needed, and there was a binder to help with any questions we had. The owner was quick to respond and helpful. We really enjoyed our trip.

I came here by myself for a little R&R and it was the perfect cabin for me. Plenty of room to relax, read, sit outside and get some fresh air and recharge!
Pro's:
Hot tub by a creek - I didn't use it because I was enjoying my time doing other activities but it's a sweet set-up
Porch Swing
Super comfy bed and linens
Cute kitchen with some basic cooking ingredients and plenty of kitchen tools
Easy to get to
Quiet
Cons:
Only cable TV but has Wifi so bring a laptop or tablet if you want to stream anything
The shower needs so TLC - showerhead is plenty high and great water pressure but the show pan is peeling
This house is NOT TPF (tall people friendly), I'm 5'8" and I think anyone over 6'0" would not be comfortable here - there bathroom entrance is low, the sink and toilet are low and small, getting up the stairs is a bit more of a climb then walking, and even coming from the driveway there is a walkway overhang that is low. None of these things were an issue for me I just want people to be aware - my husband is 6'4" and would not fit in this cottage easily.
I will be back and plan to come again when the weather is warmer and I can enjoy the outdoor spaces more!!
