The Space:
Mountains!!! This spacious, mountain home with 4 beds, 4.5 baths overlooks the Ute Pass valley just west of Colorado Springs & offers SO MUCH Colorado goodness! Soak in the hot tub under Colorado skies. Hike the trails just up the road. Explore. Relax. Enjoy. There’s abundant outdoor living, foosball & pool, fireplaces, views, accessible seclusion & obvious interior luxury — we could go on and on! Instead, we invite you to browse our photos, ask us any questions & book today!
Heading west into the mountains from Colorado Springs, you’ll immediately notice the change — the air gets clearer, the trees get thicker, the scenery more grand. You’ll travel up Ute Pass, with Pikes Peak to your left and you’ll know that this is a special place! The slopes rise steeply, the looming cliffs towering above and you’ll be amazed that this home, your vacation rental for this stay, is impressively placed in the midst of it all! Perhaps a bit (deceptively) unassuming as you pull into the driveway, step onto the expansive deck just up the stairs and you’ll see … this place is unique. The views are spectacular. The location is amazing. The possibilities are endless.
Enter through the front door off the deck. You’ll be welcomed by an expansive, open, luxurious space. With walls of windows, the space is bright and inviting. Quality furniture in the salon, centered around a voluminous, decorative fireplace. Enjoy time with your loved ones relaxing in comfort in the midst of the mountain views streaming in through the windows.
Just beyond the living room is the open, modern, chef’s kitchen complete with quality counters and cabinets, island cooktop and plenty of space to entertain while you prepare the next culinary masterpiece. There’s seating for 4 at the island, and another 6 at the dining room table. We’re guessing, though, that guests will spend as much time outside on the deck as possible — eating, drinking, soaking in the views — and a convenient second entrance to the outdoor space is located here in the kitchen also.
The home’s master bedroom is just down the hall and features king comfort and a generous amount of space, with thoughtful, quality furnishings and exceptional bedding. The private, ensuite bath is spacious and bright, with a spacious, travertine shower. The “second” and “third” bedrooms in this home could easily be “masters” in another, also featuring king comfort with private baths, and memorable views all around. Head downstairs to the lower level for additional sleeping quarters and exceptional gaming goodness!
You’ll immediately notice the wooden pool table, calling out for a game. The shuffleboard table beside it intrigues, and all the while the additional outdoor access tempts you, yet again, to the hot tub just outside. There’s space down here, warmth, comfort, and endless entertainment. A large tv rests above the decorative fireplace. There’s a full laundry room available for guest use just beyond, and an additional bedroom with a set of full-sized bunks just down the hall. A spacious bath services this floor comfortably.
With the size and amenities to treat your family or small group well during their stay, the location to ensure your trip is true and authentically “Colorado,” this vacation rental is a stand-out. Managed by a professional short term rental specialist with quality and care, we’re absolutely sure your booking will be worthy of a five star review!

Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and that extends to every facet of your stay, including our hot tub.
