We have named our mountain home "The Forest House" because of the
enchanting and magical nature of the heavily wooded property with
groves of aspen and pine. Deer and fox are frequent visitors to
forage on the many varieties of wildflowers and wild raspberries. If
you are fortunate, you may even see a bear!
From the secluded, large back deck, you can watch the squirrels at
play and observe many species of the winged ones from a true "bird's
eye view". Yet your mountain retreat is easily accessible on a
county maintained road, less than 1 mile off the main highway and
midway between Divide and Cripple Creek, on the west side of majestic
Pikes Peak.
You are in the center of vacation paradise, with so much to do that
you will want to come back again and again to experience all that
this area has to offer! You are surrounded by state parks, hiking
trails and back country 4-wheel roads. Even so, wonderful
restaurants and attractions are only a short drive away as you are
only 10 miles from historical Cripple Creek, 20 minutes from Woodland
Park and 35 minutes from Manitou Springs.
The home, built in 1997, has been newly painted and warmly decorated
with Southwestern and Mountain art. At the end of a buy day, as you
relax in the comfy, overstuffed sofa and warm by the crackling fire
in the wood-burning fireplace, you can enjoy all the comforts of home
with dish TV and a selection of DVD and VCR movies to watch. The
bedding is comfortably set up with 2 Queens and 2 Twins, all with new
pillow-top mattresses. Two extra twin mattresses are available as
creative sleeping options for your children.
The Master Suite features double sinks and a garden tub and is
decorated in a beautiful mix of old and new with the highlight being
an oak highboy dresser with a marble top. The bed is warm and cozy
with a down comforter and duvet set and the heavy pine rocker, with a
30 year history of soothing many fretful babies, is perfect for your
morning cup of tea or an afternoon novel.
This mountain home is the perfect get-away, for your family or just
the two of you, to experience Colorado at it's best, all Four Seasons
of the year!!!
