Escape to this cozy 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat in the heart of Palmer Lake, Colorado. Wake up to views of Chautauqua Mountain and Sundance Mountain, from your private front porch or backyard with covered patio.

This beautifully updated 1900s cottage blends modern comfort with classic charm, featuring a smart thermostat, full kitchen, gas and electric fireplaces, and two private fenced yards (front and back). It’s ideal for families, couples, or remote workers seeking peace and adventure.

The two main bedrooms have king-size beds, and the third bedroom offers a queen. Unwind with the 55" Smart TV—stream your favorite apps like Netflix or Fubo. The 3-season (no heat or A/C) detached studio provides extra lounging space, perfect for reading, watching TV, or relaxing. No A/C in the house. On-site washer and dryer included.

The raised wood deck with views of the Palmer Lake Star is perfect for morning coffee or afternoon relaxation. (Closed in winter.)

The Reservoir Trailhead is just a short walk away. You’ll also be within walking distance of Glen Park, where you’ll find a playground, picnic facilities, tennis, and trail access.
