About this property
USAFA: Mountain Cottage backs to National Forrest
Enter the home on the main level, with large windows offering you a panaramic view of Pikes National Forest. This open living space includes a fully stocked kitchen, dining area, and living area with a wood burning stove. Your group will love spending time together in this space. On the main level you also have access to one bedroom, a full bathroom, office, and a balcany overlooking the sprawling trees and mountain views. Down to the lower level is a family/movie room with a cozy couch in view of 55” Smart TV ready for streaming.

Outdoors
Outdoor spaces are what Colorado is all about and this home is nestled perfectly in a scenic mountain landscaping. The lower back deck is a great place to relax and take in what Colorado has to offer. Gather around the built in gas fire pit, soak in the private/secluded hot tub, or grill out on the gas BBQ, and enjoy dinner at the outdoor dining table. Whether it's coffee in the morning or a cold beverage in the evening, this will be your favorite space to relax!

The bedrooms feature brand new, super comfy mattresses, high quality bedding, plenty of pillows and we provide fresh, high quality linens for your comfort. There are two bedrooms with king beds and two bedrooms with queen beds at this property.
Wildlife and Animals
You may encouter neighboring farm dogs or farm animals while at the property. Due to the property backing up to a national forest, you will also encounter wildlife of all kinds. This does include potentially dangerous animals such as bears, elk, etc.
Children
Those travelling with little ones will love that we have a pack n play, high chair, and kids toys and books. We also have kids plates, cups and flatware. Because this home is located near a national forest with lots of wildlife, we do advise that children are always monitored when outdoors.
Laundry
There is a laundry room with washer, dryer, iron and ironing board onsite. We provide laundry detergent for you to use.
Bathrooms
There are three full bathrooms with full size bathtub and showers. We provide spa quality bodywash, hand soap, cotton swabs and extra rolls of toilet paper.

Driving
The drive to the house is mostly paved, however you will encounter a short half mile drive along a graded dirt road approaching the property and home. Vehicles with 4WD/AWD are highly encouraged during winter season as no refunds will be issued to guests unable to navigate the roads due to road/weather conditions
