6 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Colorado Springs, Colorado

WELCOME!
Tucked away on 10 private acres in Black Forest, this home sits at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac atop a high butte — and the moment you arrive, you'll understand why the drive up feels like the world is falling away behind you. The views are real. Sweeping, unobstructed sightlines to Pikes Peak and the full Front Range stretch out before you, framed by wide Colorado skies and nothing but open land.

It's quiet here in the best possible way. No traffic noise, no neighbors in your sightline — just the kind of stillness that reminds you why you took a trip in the first place. And yet, the best of Colorado Springs and the surrounding region is just a short, scenic drive away.

THE KIND OF QUIET YOU CAME FOR
From the back deck and sunroom, guests enjoy panoramic sunsets that seem to go on forever, brilliant star-filled nights far from city lights, big beautiful blue Colorado skies, and deer wandering through almost daily. Many guests tell us the views are even more impressive in person — that the photos simply don't do it justice.

The sunroom has become everyone's favorite gathering spot: coffee in the morning with Pikes Peak as your backdrop, quiet reading in the afternoon, evening conversations as the sun dips behind the mountains. It's the kind of space you didn't know you needed until you're in it. Two desks and benches face Pikes Peak directly — ideal for remote work, journaling, or simply sitting with a good cup of coffee and nowhere to be. (Please note the sunroom is not climate-controlled, though the rest of the home has full heating and central air conditioning — a comfort feature not all properties in the area offer.)

Step outside to the new deck and you'll find an outdoor kitchen and two dining areas made for long, unhurried meals under Colorado skies. When the evening cools down, grab a light blanket from the basket in the sunroom and gather around the firepit — it sets the scene for exactly the kind of quiet, connected evening people come here for.

COMFORTABLE BEDROOMS WITH THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES
The home comfortably sleeps 7 adults across four bedrooms, with a queen sleeper sofa ideal for 2 children (or flexible guests) and is well-suited for families, USAFA Cadet visits, small gatherings, or anyone who simply wants space to spread out and breathe.

*Please note that the single twin bedroom is connected to the primary bedroom and shares a wall and one connecting door - ideal for a child or family member, but may not suit guests looking for a fully private sleeping space.*

Each bedroom is prepared with both summer and winter linens, down-alternative comforters, and two pillows per guest (four on the sleeper sofa). Alarm clocks with USB ports and plug-in chargers are in every room, and flat-screen TVs are provided in the living room and both king bedrooms for relaxed downtime or movie nights. The living room also features a work desk for those who need to stay connected, and a 4-person game table (games are stored in the game cabinet in the sunroom).

A KITCHEN THAT MAKES COOKING EASY
Whether you're grilling on the deck or cooking a full dinner inside, the kitchen is ready for it. It's fully stocked for both everyday meals and special occasions:

• Complete cooking and baking setup — roasting pan, pots, pans, dishes
• Waffle maker, crock pot, popcorn maker & ice cream maker
• Plenty of utensils, gadgets, mixing bowls & serving pieces

Some of our guests' favorite memories were made right here — meals cooked together, laughter around the table, the smell of breakfast on a slow Colorado morning.

STOCKED BATHROOMS
Both bathrooms are stocked with hotel-style amenities so you can travel light and settle in quickly:

• Shampoo, conditioner, lotion & body wash
• Makeup remover, sewing kit & shaving kit
• Blow dryer
• Ample hotel-quality bath towels

A GREAT PLACE TO SLOW DOWN
Guests often tell us their favorite memories from their stay weren't made out at the attractions — they were made right here. Sharing meals. Playing games. Sitting on the deck as the sun sets behind the mountains. Watching the deer meander through the yard. Lingering a little longer in the sunroom than planned.

Whether you're here to explore everything the region has to offer or simply to unwind somewhere genuinely beautiful and peaceful, this home is set up to make your stay comfortable, restful, and memorable. The private acreage, outdoor kitchen, deck, and firepit also make it a wonderful setting for intimate gatherings — elopements, small family celebrations, or milestone weekends away.

We're grateful for the many kind reviews our guests have shared over the years, and we truly hope you'll feel right at home here, too.

A FEW MORE DETAILS
A personal vehicle is required to reach the property. Roads are county-maintained and easily navigable in a standard car under normal conditions — AWD or 4WD is only necessary during heavy snow or significant rainfall.

For property security, a single exterior camera is mounted at the garage and faces the driveway. There are no cameras anywhere inside the home. The home is secured with an alarm system and coded entry lock — access codes are provided shortly before check-in.

Hosting a larger gathering? You may be pleasantly surprised by the seating this home offers. Between the sunroom and deck, there's comfortable seating for more than 20 guests. For indoor dining, the table extends with two leaves to seat 8, plus 4 barstools at the kitchen island — easily accommodating 12 for a sit-down meal.

Smoking is permitted outdoors only, using the receptacles provided — the home itself is kept smoke-free for the comfort of all guests.

We're always happy to try to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs whenever possible — just reach out in advance, and we'll do our best.

Our cancellation policy: Full refund for cancellations 14+ days before check-in; 50% refund for cancellations 7–14 days before check-in; no refund within 7 days. Holiday bookings (the full week surrounding Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Year's) carry a stricter policy: full refund if cancelled 30+ days before check-in; no refund within 30 days.

We like to think our checkout process sets us apart. We only ask three things of our guests: rinse dishes and run the dishwasher, wipe up any spills, and bag trash in the bags provided and place in the green garage bin in the garage. That's it — no stripping beds, no laundering towels, no vacuuming. Our cleaning team handles the rest so you can spend your last morning enjoying the property rather than cleaning it. Detailed checkout instructions are provided in your digital welcome book and posted at the property.

Located in Black Forest, a neighborhood in Colorado Springs, this vacation home is in a rural area and next to a golf course.
