The property is in a great location. The property is a little tired and could use some TLC. With that said, we would probably stay there again.

Had a fab time

This house is short but gorgeous drive outside of Manatou Springs. A quiet, fabulous respite from the crowds in all the attractions, large and laid out well for good breathing space. Loved chilling in the Adirondack chairs after a long day out and about.

Wonderful spot

The location is ideal. The duplex unit is friendly. The hosts are very considerate with amenities provided (i.e. decent mattress and stocking some household goods) and their description is accurate. You are close to attractions in the area; yet, feel far away from civilization. We had a wonderful vacation there.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly & Jonathan Shiffer

Host profile image
We moved to Colorado in 2012 as an alternative to the hustle and bustle of busy, and hot, Dallas, TX. Since then, we’ve been exploring the mountains and found so much to offer. We’ve come to love this area and want you to see and feel that it’s one of the most special places in Colorado. This packet lists some of our favorite hikes and activities but is just the tip of the iceberg. If you’d like more recommendations, we would be happy to share what we can, just give us a call.

Why they chose this property

Enjoy Everything that Colorado Springs has to offer, coupled with this great location on a secluded 3.5 acre lot, close to so much more that the mountains have to offer. The scenic mountain community of Cascade is nestled among the Pikes Peak foothills just minutes from Colorado Springs. Named for nearby waterfalls, Cascade beckons to visitors as the front door to Pikes Peak, the country's most visited mountain.
Every year, more than a half-million people reach the peak's 14,110-foot summit. Cascade also houses historical businesses like the Adobe Inn at Cascade, with Southwest-style accommodations.

Hiking trails to local waterfalls include the Heizer Trail in Cascade Community Park and the Catamount Trail in Green Mountain Falls. Afterward, head to The Skinny Taco for small-batch salsa and a well-seasoned menu. Then continue on to nearby Manitou Springs, home to cliff dwellings, the Cave of the Winds and the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, the highest train in the nation. Be sure to saddle up for horseback-riding tours through the stunning Garden of the Gods, located just down the road.

What makes this property unique

Location Location Location. This area is a springboard to adventure, wildlife, mountains, and tours, including Garden of the God's, and Old Colorado City, and Manitou Springs. Oh Yeah did we mention Colorado Springs, is just minutes away!
