Counting Stars Adobe, beautiful private rooftop deck, unique property

Imagine sipping a cup of coffee watching the sunrise over the city of Colorado Springs while sitting on your own private rooftop deck. After your day of sight seeing you can end your day by drinking a glass of wine watching the sunset over Garden of the Gods on the deck. Once nightfall has come you can then count the stars while enjoying the deck and fire pit. All of nature's bounty is just steps away from our home away from home. Endless hiking & biking trails are literally at your doorstep in our home. Within minutes you can be at all the wonderful attractions the Pikes Peak region has to offer. The quaint charm of Old Colorado City is within minutes with its unique shopping and wonderful dining.

Counting Stars Adobe has a beautiful rooftop deck with gas fire pit overlooking the city of Colorado Springs, Red Rocks Canyon Open Space and the stunning Garden of the Gods. The home has a large master suite with a new plush king size bed and walk-in closet on the main level with an en suite bathroom. There are 2 additional bedrooms in the lower level. One bedroom has a new queen mattress, dresser and closet. The third bedroom has a daybed with a trundle bed for two twin beds. The third bedroom also has a dresser and large closet. The second full bathroom is in the lower level.

After a pleasant day of exploring the area you can come home to our lovely home and relax in front of the TV and electric fireplace. The living area with couch and loveseat has a smart TV and high speed wireless internet. You will be able to access your own streaming apps. The main floor living room also has a cozy reading nook area. The adobe has a well equipped kitchen and laundry area all conveniently located on the main floor. The eating area is just off the kitchen. The home is tastefully furnished with well appointed furniture, high quality linens in southwest style. The kitchen is fully stocked with a lot of supplies. In addition, the pantry has basic supplies provided.

Paradise awaits just outside the front door for bikers, hikers, nature lovers and photographers. Counting Stars Adobe is just one mile from Bear Creek Nature Park Center. Just across the street is the Red Rocks Canyon Open Space with abundant trails to explore. It is a dream location for your biking or hiking vacation. The home also has a 2 car garage so you can safely store your valuable outdoor "toys" while enjoy a night out in the unique flavor of Old Colorado City a short 1/2 mile from your vacation headquarters. In addition Manitou Springs is a short 10 minute drive where you can explore the wonderful shops and dining establishments of this unique mountain town.

Want your vacation to be more relaxing? Just hang out on the rooftop deck and count the stars while you enjoy our lovely Colorado cool evening mountain air. Beautiful scenic drives are just minutes away if you care to explore the Broadmoor area, wonderful Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Seven Falls and of course Americas mountain Pikes Peak. Downtown Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City are just minutes away offering wonderful dining and shopping.

This lovely home offers something for everyone and can be the headquarters for your Colorado vacation experience.

One of the most thoughtful stays I've ever had

You can stay at a lot of places—but every now and then, you find one that makes you pause and say, “Wow, someone really put their heart into this.” That was this home.Everything about our stay felt intentional and meaningful. From the way the space was designed to the smallest thoughtful touches, it was clear that Debbie isn’t just a host—she’s a true curator of experience.One of the most memorable moments? She made us the most delicious warm cookie skillet—totally unexpected, and completely unforgettable. It was one of those small, generous acts that made us feel instantly at home. Not just welcomed—but cared for.Debbie’s thoughtfulness was woven into everything. You could feel it in the atmosphere, the comfort, the little details that most people might overlook—but she didn’t. That’s what made this more than just a stay. It was a reminder of what true hospitality feels like.If you’re looking for a place that’s cozy, intentional, and full of heart—this is it. You’ll leave feeling a little more rested, a little more inspired, and a whole lot more grateful.

Perfect Stay in Colorado Springs

Debbie (the host) is wonderful, the adobe had a perfect location for all that we wanted to do, and it was super clean and comfortable. We loved sitting on the rooftop balcony with our coffee in the mornings. I recommend this VRBO to anyone looking to stay in Colorado Springs.

Perfect long weekend

Our family of four spent 3 nights at the property. It was beautiful and very clean. We loved the roof deck and convenience to local attractions. Debbie was an excellent host and even left a home baked treat for us on our arrival. If ever back in the area we would stay here again.

Clean, Comfortable, Quiet and a Panoramic View

Grandparents looking after grandson while son and daughter-in-law attended a wedding. The house was immaculately clean, quiet, roomy enough for us, beautifully furnished, very well equipped, and had very comfortable beds. Bedrooms on different levels made for great privacy. The host was very helpful and accommodating. The 360-degree view from the rooftop deck is beautiful. Unfortunately, rainy weather prevented us from enjoying the fire table up there, which would have been a cherry on top. Overall, it was an excellent place for our stay.

Location and Amenities!

This duplex has such an awesome location. It’s 10 minutes give or take to the Cog Railway Depot, Cave of the Winds, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Garden of the Gods, downtown Manitou, and Old Colorado City. The home is very young child friendly with a garage to park in, bathtubs in both bathrooms, and a park just down the street. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, and the hostess even left us a welcome note and a tasty treat. The beds were heavenly! We had such a wonderful stay!

Wonderful House!

"Counting Stars" is the best VRBO property I have ever rented. The location was perfect. It was so easy to visit Garden of the Gods, Eyrie Castle, Seven Falls, The Broadmoor, Pikes Peak and the Royal Gorge. Very close to Manitou Springs, Old Colorado City and downtown Colorado Springs. The house is so comfortable and fully equipped. The roof top deck is really great with nice views and a fire pit. The host, Debbie, is wo derful yo work with. Her response time is so impressive and she provides wonderful suggestions and information. Do not hesitate to rent this property. You will love it! Pikes Peak

Gorgeous place!

Fantastic! The place was excellent but the extra kindness with spare toiletries, a baked cookie pie upon arrival, and consistent communication anytime needed throughout our stay was really exceptional. The place is perfectly located to hit the mountains or downtown or just not leave the home and enjoy the views and amenities!

Perfect location and Hostess

This property was amazing - the hostess thought of ever imaginable detail and our almost 3 week stay could not have been more magical. The location is perfect for hiking and sites to visit. This was a great stay for my adult children and myself to “shelter in place” over the Christmas holiday.
