About this property

Summer is here! Hiking, biking, white water rafting, golf, pickleball, sunshine!

Step into the past with a visit to this incredible custom ranch-style home, built with all the unique details of the iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The brick exterior with monochromatic colors, a cleverly designed stack stone fireplace, and a rectangular picture window all add to the charm and character of this mid-century modern gem. It's truly a part of an era when stylish, simple Usonian-style small houses were designed for the middle-class American family's way of life. Think big band music, cool furniture, community gatherings, and wholesome family times.

The home is located on a beautiful corner lot, with views of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods, and just a short walk to charming Old Colorado City, full of shops, restaurants, and parks. With so many attractions just a short drive away, this home is the perfect place to experience all the great things that Colorado has to offer.

Outdoors, a sunny and bright patio is perfect for soaking in the 320 annual days of sunshine. Inside, you'll find an updated mid-century modern kitchen bathed in natural light, with a wood-burning fireplace in the living room. The master suite and two other bedrooms are located on the main floor.

The basement serves as a family-friendly entertainment zone, boasting a wet bar, big screen TV, and the perfect place for a game of ping pong. There's also a full-size clothes washer and dryer, and there's plenty of parking too!

This beautiful house offers a trip down memory lane, back to a simpler time and a way of living that many of us still cherish today.

It's a 45-minute scenic drive to Cripple Creek, travel 50 miles further west over some of the most beautiful Colorado Mountain passes and you'll arrive in Summit County. The ski towns of Breckenridge, Keystone, Frisco, Dillon, and Copper Mountain are great places to ski in the winter and enjoy the mountain hospitality and serenity that abounds.

Red Rocks Amphitheater and Fiddler's Green concert are in nearby Denver and host some of the world's finest musicians.

This charming retro house met the needs of two senior couples, a 40 something and a teen for our 4 night stay to attend a wedding in the area. Our schedule was so tight we didn’t get to use the outdoor area much, but it is so inviting. The house is well supplied for travelers. The three bedrooms and two baths upstairs were perfect for older folks while the suite downstairs allowed the younger people to disappear happily. The location is amazing - so close to everything in the COS area, just minutes to Garden of the Gods, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Manitou Springs, etc. We loved watching the deer on the lawn and walking down the street! A great bargain in a beautiful location!

Great Colorado Spring location

Good property in Colorado Springs with plenty of room for our family. Plenty of room for our group, and good set-up. Enjoyed the spa. Retro theme for certain. Kitchen missing some basics (limited silverware), and no dining room table in doors for a larger group (8 of us). Great views from the front yard.

Fun Vibe

We spent one night in this cute home as we traveled between national parks with our 4 young adult kids. Everyone in our group had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the entertainment it offered from ping pong to the outdoor space with the hot tub and corn hole. It was a great break from our strenuous hiking and skiing. The host was gracious and communication was excellent!

Perfect house in perfect location!

My family of adult children and I stayed here for a weekend visit. It was like walking back in time, in a good way! The decor was very retro 70/80’s and very cool! Accommodations were comfortable and there was a TON of space! We enjoyed games in the downstairs, and watching football and using the hot tub in the backyard. The location was perfect for visiting Garden of the Gods, the Cheyanne Zoo, and walking around the wonderful town on Manitou Springs. Wish we had more time! Nancy was a great host, communicating throughout the checkin and checkout process. Will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Great place to stay and enjoy Colorado City and the area!

We had a great time and really enjoyed the property. The location was perfect for our adventures and the house had wonderful spaces to gather as a group of 8 or in smaller groupings (including "seniors," and a 5 and 7 yr old). The inside and outside living spaces gave us lots of options, including hot tub, fireplace, dinner on the patio, and even views of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods. We had plenty of parking in a quiet and nice area with a cul de sac street. The accommodations are pictured accurately and Nancy was easy to work with. We'd plan to stay here again if we return for another family gathering to Colorado Springs and area. I highly recommend this VRBO!

Lovely Stay

Nancy’s property was the perfect home for our stay. It was my 85 year old grandmother, my two kids (13 and 9) and myself. The home is located on a quiet street, a few blocks to the strip and about 10 min to Manitou and Springs. Nancy called prior to our arrival and was in constant communication to ensure all was good. The hot tub was on and ready for us when we arrived which was much appreciated after the long drive. The backyard is awesome and used every day as well as the ping pong table. Nancy has thought of every detail and was a very pleasant host to interact with. I highly recommend.

Best stay possible, great views and home!

This home and Nancy impressed us right away. Great communication! We were in town for a wedding, and couldn't resist staying here for our base. The views out the front are amazing from the front patio or inside. The outside back patio was amazing as well, and great to listen to and enjoy the rain showers. The home was as clean as you can get! The main bedroom had a comfortable bed and nice bathroom. The AC works great in every room. There is NOTHING I would change about this home, except I would own it! :) This home is so relaxing, with the Garden rocks one way, and Pikes Peak the other way. You can even see the highway, and the lights going each way. Watch the rain move in. Enjoy the cool breeze and no mosquitoes (when we were there, but a few black flies that thought I was juicy). Great location but little traffic.

Retro Room for Everyone!

The property was exactly as described. My family thought the retro decor and furnishings were super fun. 4 bedrooms with SEVEN beds!! Loved the backyard fireplace, hot tub, and hang out space. Wonderful location just blocks from Old Colorado City and minutes from Garden of the Gods and Old Manitou Springs. We frequently had deer in the yard and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. Fantastic communication from Miss Nancy. Overall a great stay!

Great Get-Away Spot

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for our planned activities…we went to Garden of the Gods several times since it was so close. The hot tub was relaxing after a day on the go. The view of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods from the front yard was amazing. The bedrooms were perfect for our group’s size. We fixed most of our meals at the house. The weather in July was perfect for the outside table, as there was not a good indoor eating arrangement for our group of 6 adults and one teen. Another note, the best bathroom is in the basement….the Master bath is convenient, but pretty tiny. Our host, Nancy was still at the house when we arrived and gave us a tour. She also called and checked in halfway through our stay. I would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Family Time and Amazing View

I don't know which was the best part: view from the front window, hot tub, location or plenty of room for everyone. All of the above!My husband and I celebrated the holidays with our three adult children at this wonderful home. We used all the amenities - streaming, ping pong, grill, outdoor fireplace for s'mores, outdoor tv and of course the hot tub. Plenty of room to spread out and lots of spaces to come together. We cooked in for several meals and ate out at local restaurants - easy walking distance. So close to Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak and more. The view from the front picture window is just amazing. The daily visiting deer were a treat. And the host is perfect! Very friendly, not intrusive at all, and quick responses to the couple of questions we had. Highly recommend this property for families and group get-togethers.

Great Girls Trip!

I stayed here with 6 of my friends from high school. Since we are all 62, it was so fun to reminisce about the past and compare furnishings to those we grew up with. Having so many beds was great as no one had to share one. And many enjoyed the hot tub and we closed out our last night with a fire and s'mores, and were able to watch football outside also. Could not get any better than that!
