Vacation Rental Description

We have named our mountain home "The Forest House" because of the enchanting and magical nature of the heavily wooded property with groves of aspen and pine. Deer and fox are frequent visitors to forage on the many varieties of wildflowers and wild raspberries. If you are fortunate, you may even see a bear! From the secluded, large back deck, you can relax in the private hot tub ad watch the squirrels at play and observe many species of the winged ones from a true "birds eye view". Yet, your mountian retreat is easily accessible on a county maintained road, less that 1 mile off the main highway and midway between Divide and Cripple Creek, on the back of majestic Pikes Peak. You are in the center of vacation paradise, with so much to do that you will want to come back again and again to experience all that this area has to offer! You are surrounded by state parks, hiking trails and back country 4-wheel roads. Even so, wonderful restaurants and attractions are only a short drive away as you are only 10 miles from historical Cripple Creek, 20 minutes from Woodland Park and 35 minutes from Manitou Springs. The home, built in 1997, has been newly painted and warmly decorated with Southwestern and Mountain art. At the end of a busy day, as you relax in the comfy, overstuffed sofa and warm by the crackling fire in the wood-burning fireplace, you can enjoy all the comforts of home with dish TV and a selection of DVD and VCR movies to watch. The bedding is comfortably set up with 2 Queens and 2 Twins, all new pillow top mattresses. Two extra twin mattresses are available in the 3rd bedroom for creative sleeping options. The Master Suite features double sinks and a garden tub and is decorated in a beautiful mix of old and new with the highlight being an oak highboy dresser with a marble top. The bed is warm and cozy with a down comforter and duvet set and the heavy pine rocker, with a 30 year history of soothing many fretful babies, is perfect for your morning cup of tea or an afternoon novel. This mountain home is the perfect get-away to experience Colorado at its best, all Four Seasons of the year!!
