About this property

Cozy Gem, Near Bike Trails & Downtown, Pets OK!

Summary:
This cute, cozy home sits on a quiet, friendly neighborhood at the "Old North End" of Colorado springs right next to a bike path, trails and beautiful views.
Fully stocked kitchen so you can prepare meals at home although there is an abundance of local eateries and watering holes within walking distance - it'd be hard to find a better location in Colorado Springs.

The Space:
Private fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for kids and dogs to play.
Walking distance to Safeway (grocery), pet store, and a cute little drink place call Stir - hence STIR Crazy.

Inviting décor. Parks. Original murals inside. Form and function, at a bargain price—Bring your pals, canine or human, your bike or your walking shoes and book today!

This charming little home offers the perfect balance of modern appeal with classic bones, classic layout, classic goodness.

Enter through the front using the code provided. After parking out front on the street or in the private little driveway you'll open the front door and step into a warm, bright, welcoming space.

There's a large sofa in the living room, comfortable seating and a décor and color scheme that's both inviting and modern.

Access to the kitchen is off to one side and includes a dining space for four. The kitchen itself is handsome and fully functional—ready for your culinary creations. All throughout this home the surfaces are of quality—wood and tile, granite and stainless steel.
The home's two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the main level—one featuring queen comfort, and the other a queen.

A window A/C unit to keep you cool during summer months.

Enjoy the COLOR in this home too … most notably the original mountain and forest murals in the bedrooms! The beds are great, and all of the linens are quality—professionally cleaned and laundered. The home's single bath is definitely a treasure … with travertine tile and an inviting shower head.

This home is dog-friendly and with a private backyard, perfect for your friends—furry or otherwise. There's a gas grill and plenty of inviting space and room to breathe under the Colorado sky.

Family friendly home with keyless entry and fast Wi-Fi for business travelers.

Perfect for traveling friends, couples, or families with kids!

To give you peace of mind, we have a 5 star cleaning team that keeps this home immaculately clean and disinfected (especially high-touch areas) so you can enjoy your stay and feel safe.

Guest Access:
Guest will have access to the entire home with the exception of the garage.

The Neighborhood:
Centrally located just north of Downtown Colorado Springs, the Patty Jewett neighborhood is one of the most desirable right now—combing exceptional urban access with the classic charm of an area first built and settled around the turn of the 20th century. Downtown is roughly 5 minutes away by car and there are parks, trails, neighborhood cafés, breweries, a municipal golf course—in short, a whole lot of goodness. And being so central has its advantages … Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods are about 15 minutes away; the Broadmoor about 15 minutes, the Airport and the Air Force Academy just 20. There's a whole lot to do here, a whole lot to WALK to, and a whole lot to love! Our favorites in this neighborhood (just a few blocks away) are Stir (coffee, cocktails and apps) and Goatpatch Brewing in the Lincoln School!

Although there are many, many restaurants, bars, cafes and parks accessible by foot from this property, we still recommend that you have a car or use Uber or Lyft when traveling in Colorado Springs. Also, we can provide you with specific bus routes to help you get around.

Great location

Property is well maintained and a gem in the neighborhood. There's a trail right behind the house...a great place to walk the dogs or ride your bike. There a neighborhood coffee house and cocktail bar...Stir...it's close enough to walk to. Great place.

Great place for family and dog

A safe, clean and cozy place for our family and our dog: We loved our stay here - except for the broken toilet! Our dog was able to run and play in the fenced in yard, this was a delight. It was also great to have a washer and dryer at our disposal and we loved the wooden floors and clean environment. I contacted the manager from the moment we arrived to let him know that the toilet flushed but it took almost 45 minutes for the tank to refill before it would flush again. The manager kept promising someone would come to fix it. Someone apparently came the last day we were there, but did not fix the toilet. I would have been happy with a sincere apology and an explanation why the toilet was not fixed after promising us it would be fixed. If the toilet is working, this is a nice place to stay.

Awesome location

I think overall it was a awesome location. Love the neighborhood. Friendly Neighbors. Reasonable priced and easy access to all the amenities. Maybe the only complain I have is the cigarette smell that came from the house. It goes away after you saturates your olfactory receptors, but you can still feel it when you been away for a while and come back! Take that away and it was a perfect place to explore the city.

The host(e) are a nightmare

The host(e) are a nightmare! From the moment i booked, the harassment never ended. After jumping through all the booking hoops, like emailing a copy of my id and paying separately through their private site, ugh. Then I was bombarded with email and texts trying to sell me other "experience's, like a private chef" . I told them immediately not to send me more, just check in instructions please. That apparently made them turn it up a knotch. I received so many texts that i blocked the number, then they used a different one. Finally when i checked in. The threats on the wall to welcome me "that if you leave bloody sheets, $60. Smoke, they have a sensors, that's 2k!" Really? Who leaves bloody sheets? And after the Pine sol smell wears off, it smells like a chain smoker lives thier. Day after i arrive more texts and email, they wanted me to take out thier trash cans and retrieve them the next day, even though i was checking out that day. Finally night before i left(same day), of our 2 night stay, check out instructions arrive in text and email very late, i was asleep. Then again at 659 am they gave me more check out instructions via text in case i was sleeping in? And wished me a happy stay.. How could someone possibly have had a good experience at this place? It was like every cruise and timeshare pitch ive been on; combined. I don't know if this company also does debt collection, but they should consider it. Also, no useable TV whatsoever, netflix works, using someone who checked out and never logged off... I mean you can't even get the local channels to come in? The drip coffee machine also doesn't work, fyi.

Great place!

Overall my family and I enjoyed our stay here very much the neighborhood is awesome and the place is cute, and perfect for a family our size (3) plus a big labradoodle. Only complaint would be that the pictures specifically say king size bed and the biggest bed in the house is a queen the other is a full. This was a huge disappointment at first because our son is notorious for getting in bed with us at some point in the night and I am not a small guy. That being said still a great place at a very reasonable price!

Not as expected

Check in details given 48 hours prior to check in accomodations not as described or as pictured beds not comfortable tub was not cleaned when we arrived there was dust everywhere coffee maker broken huge sunflowers everywhere in backyard and in front many dead or lopped over and also mosquitos EVERYWHERE so we could not even spend time in the back yard. House was cute only 1 AC in front I had to purchase a fan because the bedrooms got hot at night and no circulation but from windows but it was too hot outside to open windows and let more heat inside. SO we considered it like a camping trip since I already paid this large amount to stay there we had no choice. Dryer had some issues also. Wifi not working and TV only could get couple of channels

California visit to Colorado

We were supposed to visit in August, but we were evacuated from out home due to the Caldor fire. Our host understood our dilemma and allowed us to reschedule our reservation. The house was very comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood. It has all the amenities you will need. We will definitely stay the next time we are in Colorado Springs!

Wish we would have known…

The toilet is only 13” from the floor making it difficult for anyone with hip or knee issues (or if you’re over 5’9”) to get up. We had to purchase an elevated toilet seat to bring it to “comfort” height. The toilet paper holder is at the perfect height if you’re a pre-schooler, only 2.5 tiles off the floor. Also, be prepared to purchase your own toilet paper as the one-ply they provide is like 110 grit sandpaper on your bottom. All soft seating is also low so barstools were the only seating option available to me. Hard and cold with no back support. Furnishings and decor were sparse and very DIY. No grass in the front yard or backyard for your Fido. Ceiling fan in one bedroom only so we slept hot every night. Only one window unit for the house. Also, even though I received all the emails about checking in and checking out, owners insisted on texting me which was super annoying while on vacation. Overall, 3 stars, but wouldn’t stay there again.

A short getaway!

My college aged kids and I just wanted a short getaway for spring break. Due to the pandemic we haven’t been anywhere in a year. We choose this location being somewhat close to home and near interesting sites. Unfortunately it snowed most of the time so we couldn’t go where we planned but it was nice to relax, read, watch Netflix, and walk our dogs. The house is in a cute neighborhood, close to a market, and has beautiful Mountain View’s.. One suggestion I would make is to have directions available for things like the TV. The only thing I could get to work was Netflix and that was after some trial and error. All in all I loved the house and location and would really like to go back when it’s warmer. Thank you for allowing pets too. Our two small dogs enjoyed their walks in the neighborhood.
