Rustic former Ranger Station, plenty of room 8 of our family. Loved the full kitchen with plenty of pots, pans, and dishes (and dishwasher). View from the front porch was stunning. Located close to numerous attractions (Cave of Winds, Garden of the Gods, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, many more). Excellent restaurant right across the highway from property.

Ranger Station

The location has easy access to all of the the local attractions. There is a Walmart in Cascade (just down the road) to pick up groceries or other supplies. Offered a beautiful view of the mountains. Saw a couple of deer and hummingbirds during our stay. The host was very responsive and easy to reach with any questions we had. Overall a place that accommodated nine people nicely.

The pictures are not at all what you are getting. It is right by the highway so you get all the noise from that. Its right in the center of town so you have neighbors all around you. You have to leave the back door open so the other 2 houses can come in and use the washer and dryer. It was a cute clean house but was very disappointed in the location. There was no trails around so we could go for a walk.

We had a great week at the Cascade Ranger Station. It was an old-timey comfortable place. There were two sets of bunk beds plus a twin bed in a tiny extra room upstairs. There was a master bedroom downstairs. The upstairs bathroom has only a toilet and sink. The downstairs bathroom has a tub and shower. Our group was six people. It was not difficult to coordinate showering each day. If we return to that area we would totally stay there again.

Perfect little spot!

It is an old Ranger Station so the house is old but very clean and very homey. The porch was our fave and we seen a bear! I love the history of the place and we really enjoyed it! You aren't far from town but feel like you are away from everything. Def recommend.

Delightful Place to Stay

The location is wonderful. Despite the fact that it is located right off the highway, you don't hear much highway noise. Big comfy porch with a nice yard and big trees. Outdoor picnic table and BBQ. Neat old home, too! We stayed with three kids who loved exploring up the hill and there was plenty of room to run outside in the yard also.

Perfect location

This place was just enough away from the hustle & bustle of Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs, but super close for Garden of the Gods, Incline, Pikes Peak, COG, Manitou Cliff Dwellings & Museum, Cave of the Winds, the North Pole, & Broadmoor Falls, just to name a few! Plus the free washer & dryer was definitely a nice surprise for the tail end of a trip with 4 boys in 90 degree heat. Will love to stay again some day.

So convenient!

I cannot imagine anything more conveniently located! We were 5 miles from everything we wanted to do. We were able to eat lunch back at the Ranger Station and take breaks to recover from our spectacular hikes. We LOVED our stay. I would stay again!

We had a great time at the ranger station. The beds were comfortable, the host was great and responsive. There was no queen air mattress when we got there, so he immediately went and picked one up. The only complaint was that I do not feel like claiming a 4th bedroom is accurate. The 4th bedroom is a closet in the 3rd bedroom, and you can't even close the door because the bed is blocking it. It just made coordinating sleeping arrangements for 4 kids more complicated than originally planned. Otherwise, it was great.

Just right!

Cute, quaint, centrally located with all the necessities. Great to be able to do laundry, too. We ventured out every day - Pikes Peak, Molly Kathleen gold mine, Garden of the Gods - and crashed every night! Thanks y'all.

Great Vacation!

We brought our kids to enjoy the mountains of Colorado and had a great time! Everything was clean and the layout worked great for our family. With four kids, they loved the upstairs rooms. Very cozy place--my kids referred to it as "the cottage." When they got tired on a mountain hike, they wanted to go back to "the cottage." We had a great vacation and hope to return soon!

Colorado sightseeing trip

Great location to go see many different places. At the road for Pikes Peak, 15 minutes to garden of the gods, 30 minutes to the academy, Royal Gorge is an hour trip taking the scenic route. Any communication was answered promptly but we were not bothered by anyone. There is a fantastic restaurant/wine bar across the highway. The only negative was the highway noise but that comes with the convenience of being able to get places easily. I would definitely recomend this place.

Horrific experience

Do not stay here! The owners will charge you for normal homeowners maintenance such as when the dishwasher stops working. The owners will invade your privacy and steal your items from the common areas. There were dead flies and a rotting dead mouse under the sink. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
