Experience the charm of this 125 year old cabin overlooking the Ute Pass and surrounded by mountains. Built in 1900, it is one of the earliest cabins constructed in this beautiful area. We have maintained the look and wonderful design while adding modern features for your enjoyment and comfort. It sits on Pike's Peak foothills.
CABIN: It has vaulted ceilings, original brick exposed in kitchen, lots of windows, is tastefully decorated and inviting. Games and puzzles are available as well as a TV with Roku. Original wood siding is in bedroom that previously was part of the porch with sunroom type windows. The front, screened porch has seating as well as a porch swing to relax on. The bunk room features a window, sturdy bunk beds and a small kids play area.
Important info:
Parking: There is a carport in the back cabin. Taller vehicles can pull perpendicular to the end of the carport. The shared driveway (with neighbor) is very steep and made of gravel. AWD is recommended to access the cabin and 4WD during the winter months. The parking below the cabin can fit a small vehicle on the West side only. The East side is for the white cabin next door. 1 vehicle only please.
Neighborhood: This residential area is gorgeous in the midst of a beautiful mountain side. The homes and cabins in the neighborhood are naturally close together tucked into the mountainside. Please be respectful of both residents and other guests staying in the neighborhood alike. It's common to see deer, at times foxes, and occasionally a bear (early morning hours).
