About this property

Charming, historic, Creekside Cabin nestled at the base of Pikes Peak in Cascade

2-bedroom Cabin and studio Guest House on the beautiful bubbling Cascade Creek.

Built in 1925, situated on Cascade Creek, the ever-present, soothing sound of the creek puts you to sleep and wakes you each morning. The curved moss rock front porch overlooks the creek and is great for morning coffee, reading, or evening cocktails.

The cabin comfortably sleeps 4 and the guest house 2

On the main floor is the master bedroom with a queen Serta Posturepedic mattress, charming bathroom with a vintage claw foot tub/hand shower with fluffy robes and slippers.

There is an eat-in kitchen with banquette seating overlooking a beautiful moss rock wall through large viewing windows, where chipmunks love to help themselves to birdseed or other treats. There is a lighted patio out back for grilling and a stone patio with a table and chairs down by the creek.

Upstairs there is a bedroom with two twin beds, new nightstands/lamps, children's books/toys and bathroom with a newly tiled shower. For those of you with really little ones, we have a new "Pack-in-Play" with removable mattress for your convenience.

The Guest House is available and it's just a few steps away from the Cabin and sleeps two. It has a newer queen bed, vintage dresser and new nightstands and new touch lamps with USB ports. The bath area has a free-standing shower, shelving and hanging storage, comfortable robes and slippers for your enjoyment, a small refrigerator and microwave.

2. Take all the wet/dirty towels and put them in the bath tub. That it!
3. Have a safe trip home :)
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

Authentic rustic experience!

We loved our stay at this place! The owner was thoughtful and available if we ever ran into problems. The cabin and the guest house were immaculate and cozy. Lastly, the weather (we stayed in late July) was a wonderful reprieve from the summer heat, with night temps dropping into the low 50s. Five stars!

Very nice stay

Stay was great and cabin was peaceful. Bathroom on the first floor needs better water pressure and washer/dryer would be helpful bc closest laundromat is about 20 minutes away. But hosts were wonderful.

We LOVED this place. Photos can't do the stream justice. It is on the property and you can watch it run while sitting on the front deck, and it flows fast enough to provide beautiful white noise. Hosts were super friendly (and have great dogs we got to meet). Cascade is gorgeous, and there is so much to do within a 30 minute drive radius.

Fabulous cabin, can't wait to go back, amazing hosts

We have stayed at many VRBOs and this one is one of our favorites. The cabin was in a wonderful location, with easy access to Manitou Springs, and a great home base for our little day trips. The cabin itself is just far enough away though to be a quiet, serene get away. There is a little stream right by the house so you always have the quiet, perfect sound of water and it is right by a great trail. The house was very clean and comfortable, with perfectly charming cabin decor. Even the sofa bed was amazingly comfortable. The hosts welcome you like family. We really hope to be back someday and would not look anywhere else in the area- no reason to!

Was a wonderful place to relax with family. The park nearby was so nice for the kids to play. The cabin even had things to accommodate our baby. Everything we needed was here. Our favorite was the porch and just sitting and listening to the running water of the creek.

Cabin Feel

I wanted rhe grandkids to have an "authentic cabin in the mountains" experience and they got it. This cabin was very quaint and historic yet had all the modern ammenities we needed. And...the flowing creek out front was a special bonus!! The hosts made sure we had all that we needed...hoping to be back some day!

Wonderful therapeutic experience

This cozy cabin was one of the best VRBOs we have stayed at. The hosts were most gracious and came to meet us even in the rain. The cascade stream was amazing! I would definitely come back!! The welcome basket was so needed for the kids and they had everything there that we forgot! The guest house was also amazing and worked great for my 18 year old!

Wonderful For All Ages

This cabin provided age-appropriate activities and lodging for family members ranging in age from one year to 90. The nearby hiking trail and playground were within walking distance. The creek (~6-12 inches deep) provided an endless source of entertainment and soothing background music. The smaller cabin provided the perfect place for our oldest family member to be on-site, yet under their own roof. Both cabins are beautifully furnished. Everyone felt safe and secure on the property. The hosts were nearby and helpful yet not hovering. All in all, each one of our party of six would return without hesitation!

Simply Amazing

We were amazed with the cabin and guest house. Upon arrival we found a basket of snacks left for us. Other added bonuses were slippers and robes and sunscreen. The cabin was spotless and provided comfortable furnishings. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we’ve ever had. The front porch was perfect for relaxing near the creek. The owner greeted us after our arrival and was so friendly. She answered questions and gave suggestions for dinner. The Creekside Cabin was a great location for attractions such as Cave of the Winds and Santa’s North Pole. It is nestled in the mountains and very tranquil. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely return!

Great location for family vacation!

Our first major vacation with just my husband and 7.5 y/o son. We were so happy we chose your place to get more of a mountain / cabin in the woods feel! Colorado Springs was just a short drive down the highway and the views to/from the cabin were beautiful. Honestly we spent half of our time around Manitou Springs area as well which was even closer! We appreciated the snacks, coffee for Keurig, and the board games! We visited the Dwellings, Cave of the Winds, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak via Cog Railway, Seven Falls, Royal Gorge. Enjoyed Red Leg Brewery, Ivywild School for Food and Drinks, Coffee at the Loft, Mini-golf at Adventure Park, and Amy’s Donuts. Only my husband brought hiking shoes but I wish we would’ve bought some to hit up the Heizer Trail behind the cabin! We conquered the Highway 24 Overlook Trail which would’ve been easier with hiking shoes but we survived. My son and I borrowed one of the walking sticks on the side of the cabin. The creek in front of the house was very relaxing as well! We 100% would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl and Michael Knight

Host profile image
We have lived in Cascade, Colorado for the last 32 years on Cascade Creek and our residence is adjacent to Creekside Cabin and the guest house. Our friends, Wayne & Gay Hasle were the previous hosts and decided to sell this picturesque property in the winter of 2021. When we heard that , we jumped at the opportunity to be the next caretakers of this historic beautiful cabin and guest house. We still love having morning coffee on the front porch overlooking Cascade creek...doesn't get any better than that.
Michael is a native of beautiful Colorado Springs and I am a transplant from the friendly state of Iowa.
