- Each bedroom is furnished with summer and winter linens for each bed, blankets, down-alternative comforters, and 2 pillows for each guest (including 4 pillows for Queen sleeper-sofa). Alarm clock with USB and plug charger in each room, and flat screen TVs in living room and two King rooms.
- Luxury bath amenities include body wash, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, shaving kit, makeup remover & sewing kit. Each bathroom also has a blow dryer and an ample supply of hotel quality bath towels.
This is a great location from which to sightsee and visit all the popular spots in central and southern Colorado, such as Pikes Peak, the North Pole, Royal Gorge where you can enjoy some of the best white water rafting this side of the Mississippi, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, Manitou Springs, The Incline, Glen Eyrie Castle, Cripple Creek gambling casino, Cherry Creek Shopping Center, The Outlets at Castle Rock, the United States Air Force Academy, United States Olympic Training Center, Denver Art Museum, Children’s Museum, Aquarium or the zoo, plus fishing, hiking, biking, snow and water skiing, horseback riding, hot air ballooning, zip-lining and golfing - all within easy driving distance.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Robyn Haddock

My husband, Rob, is a native Coloradan who built our home next door over 30 years ago. He purchased this property in 2002 - just for the stunning mountain views and sunsets.
The property was listed on VRBO only a couple of years beginning in 2003. It was then used as a private guesthouse and later as Rob's office until his company outgrew it and relocated in 2017. In 2018, we completed a top-to-bottom remodel so that we could offer it to others as a vacation getaway and relaxing escape to the country.
Rob's three children and their families are also part owners, and we all share in our love for the home, its tranquility and breathtaking views.
As for me, I am a native Texan, moving to Colorado when Rob and I married. (While Texas will always be in my heart, I love Colorado's 300+ days of sunshine, the mountains/scenery and drier climate!)
I serve as the "property manager", as well as decorator, supply-stocker and back-up housekeeper. I thoroughly enjoyed furnishing the home with virtually everything you might need for your vacation. We sincerely want your stay to be unforgettable.
