About this property

Farm, Unique, Immaculate, Close to City but Feels like Country, One of a Kind!

Cross the bridge, pass through the gates and go up a winding driveway to our light, sunny guest house that feels like you're in the country far away from everything but is right off the interstate. Our Cottage is a bright, spacious 1,800 sq. feet of living space that is unique, beautiful and sparkling clean. Our property offers plenty of outdoor places to sit and relax as well as immediate access to a regional trail that runs for miles in both directions and a toe dip in a creek. We are just a quick drive to many local attractions as well as just south of the Air Force Academy. Located on a small farm, you'll see our cattle and chickens and maybe - if you're lucky! - some Colorado wildlife. On any given visit, you'll hear the Star Spangled Banner floating through the breeze from the Air Force Academy and the train whistles as it heads north or south. This listing is a calm oasis while simultaneously very unique! We love it here and hope you do, too!

We've been hosting at our Country Cottage since 2017, accommodating families, bridal parties, team retreats, and even honeymooners at our Cottage. Our continual five-star reviews give our family great satisfaction and pride in offering our Cottage to guests as we join VRBO in 2019.

Our beautiful ranch-style, wheelchair accessible Cottage is newly renovated, and it sleeps seven, making it perfect for families and groups. Our Cottage offers 3 bedrooms (total of 5 beds, including the trundle) as well as two bathrooms with showers. A complete, well-equipped kitchen with island, full-size refrigerator, oven and dishwasher gives you the ability to make a scrumptious dinner or whip up something quickly. A large living room has sofas perfect for a game night, watching a movie or relaxing with your group. An attached garage is available for storing sporting equipment and coolers. An outdoor patio table and chairs gives you the opportunity to enjoy Colorado's beautiful outdoors from various vantage points around the Cottage. Our property and Cottage are completely non-smoking in their entirety, so you will be able to breathe in the beautiful Colorado air both inside and out!

Our Country Cottage 'Cross the Creek is a dedicated, private guest house located on our farm property. You will be able to park right outside the front door. We will contact you through the VRBO message center on the day of your arrival with directions and keyless access information for the Cottage.

Our Cottage provides immediate access to the 20-mile long New Santa Fe Trail, which runs along Monument Creek from Colorado Springs to Palmer Lake, crossing through the Air Force Academy. Guests can enjoy walking, running, hiking, biking or just meandering along this trail. Our property is located just a couple miles off the interstate, so grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations and Walmart are all within 2-5 miles from our Cottage. We are one exit away from the Air Force Academy and 8 miles from the Garden of the Gods park.

Our family lives in a separate house on the property. We are available to make your stay the best experience possible if you need anything, but we are also far enough away that you will have your privacy! I love to try to at least meet and say hello to each of our guests, so I hope that I can meet you during your stay, too!

About the host

Hosted by Tosha Williams

Host profile image
I am a wife and mom, a writer and piano teacher, a woman in ministry and a chicken hobbyist. My family has lived on our farm property for 14 years now, and we love this little slice of country in the midst of the city. I have hosted my Country Cottage 'Cross the Creek with almost one-hundred 5 star reviews for over year now and am happy to begin the adventure of hosting with VRBO as well! I look forward to meeting you and your group and welcoming you to this place that is very special to my family and I.

Why they chose this property

Our property is one of a kind in the midst of Colorado Springs. We love it because, once you cross the little bridge to get here, you have a totally different experience from normal city life. We're close to the interstate yet a million miles away. Tucked into the rolling hills of the Front Range, we are separated from the rest of the world by our little creek. Every season brings something new, whether it's the lush green by the creek during the summer or the beautiful snow during the winter. We love it here and hope you enjoy your stay, too!

What makes this property unique

We love our property because of its proximity to all things civilized yet contact with many things unique, including occasional wildlife (care to get up in the wee hours and listen for an owl?), a meandering creek (which is so fun for kids to splash in during the summer!), a train, and access to miles and miles of regional trails and off-trail hikes. This is pure Colorado.
