-- The Space --
After life as the "Many Pines" tree nursery for decades the property became a home in the 1950s. This cottage has since been tastefully renovated with a full bathroom, jetted tub, wood fireplace and living area with a fridge and microwave. When you step out the door 2 acres of streams, trees and grass welcome you. There is a large patio where you can relax and spend time with your favorite person in the hot tub or by the fire

Staying here feels like stepping into Colorado's past where history comes to life with every charming detail.

One of the best things about this property is its proximity to exploration and attractions. It's an excellent adventure basecamp from which you can head deeper into the mountains and visit Woodland Park or down into Colorado Springs within 10 minutes. Some of the highlights close by:

- Pikes Peak
- Garden of the Gods
- Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
- United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum
- Manitou Incline
- U.S. Air Force Academy
- North Cheyenne Cañon Park
- Glen Eyrie Castle

We fully stock the cottage with coffee, tea, seasonings, dishes, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, towels and propane for the BBQ grill. Wi-Fi is provided and the smart TV has a couple paid streaming services logged in and others available.

We don't ask our guests to complete any chores upon checkout so you can make the most of your day.

The living area has space to cuddle up and read a good book, eat dinner, play games or watch a movie.

The yard on the property has plenty of space for activities and the patio by the creek is a fun common area where you can sit by the fire and listen to the water bubbling under the trees.

Whether you're looking for a cozy snowy winter retreat, visiting the mountains to see the fall colors or an adventure filled summer vacation the caboose can make your dreams a reality!
