Owl Pine House- Charming Mountain Cabin just West of the Pike's Peak Hwy!

Home is larger than I thought. Beautiful patio. Weather was cool in August. Close to pikes peak, cripple creak and manitou springs. Only issue we had was getting caught in a hailstorm at Cave of the winds, Ruined the renal car. (apparently there is a hail season).

It was a wonderful place and we plan on coming back next year!

A few of the one-star reviews made us a little hesitant, but very glad that we ignored them. We had an absolutely fantastic week in the Owl Pine home. Yes, there is a wheelchair in the large shower in the master bath, but there is a second shower across the room. Yes, there is no AC, but the air was crisp and cool every evening even with mid-90s daytime temps. We were away most of the day and by the time we returned the house was warm but not hot, and the dry air meant the feels like temp was even lower. There was no musty smell...just a little stuffy since it was locked up. After opening windows and doors, it was great in a matter of minutes. There are lots of games, jigsaw puzzles and movies. The kitchen was very well appointed. No rice cooker, but everything else, including a crock pot. The only real disappointment we had was others talked about seeing deer, elk and even a bear. All we saw were magpies and hummingbirds. Being in Cascade, it's a 15-minute drive down to northern Colorado Springs and 10 minutes up to Woodland Park. The WP Walmart is unique and worth the trip. The home is older, so it doesn't have all the extra space that is put into the current homes, but there is plenty of room to sit in both the living room and the family room, a formal dining table that seats six and an informal breakfast table between the kitchen and fam. room that seats 4. The house is soundly built and there's parking for 3-4 cars in the driveway. If you are looking for someplace special not down in the Springs hustle and bustle, this is it!

Picked this place online, not knowing what to expect. Ended up being exactly what we wanted, outside of CO Springs, but not too far away. Loved the back deck with the Ponderosa Pines and hummingbirds, mountain air, and solitude. The house is rustic inside, but not primitive. The kitchen is fantastic; newer cabinets, countertops, and quality appliances. We enjoyed our time here.

We had a nice, relaxing stay with our family of five. The patio was our favorite spot to sit and relax. It was a little further out than I had calculated for some of our activities, but it was worth the beautiful atmosphere. It is close to many activities though around Manitou Springs and fairly close to the zoo. We took a day trip into Denver for a concert and stopped at the outlets along the way. There is so much to do around the area - trying to decide what to fit in is the hard part. But, if you want to just relax in a peaceful setting, this place was excellent for that. It doesn’t have air conditioning. I thought this might be a problem when we first arrived because it was a hot day. But, by evening, things cooled down and we all slept comfortably.
