A charming home to relax in with your family & friends. Centrally located in Woodland Park and only a 1/2 mile to downtown restaurants, parks and entertainment. You will be nestled in the pine trees on a half acre in a lovely family neighborhood. This is a 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home that will comfortable sleep 8 people which is our limit on how many guests we will allow. The home offers a fenced in backyard with a dog run. The large primary suite includes a dedicated desk and chair.

The home is on nearly a 1/2 acre of wooded land. It is within walking distance of Memorial Park and several downtown businesses. The home is situated in a forested subdivision for family living. This is not a rural home but rather a small town community home surrounded by great neighbors. This neighborhood has lots of families, children, people dog walking, etc. We hope you will enjoy the fun relaxed pace of the area.

The home sits at 8,500 feet in elevation. Most homes in Woodland Park have no Air Conditioning because it is not needed, just open the windows and let the fresh mountain air in. Nights always cool off and most likely you'll be snuggled up in a blanket before dawn. If you are here on a warm day, we have fans in most of the rooms and the upstairs bedrooms are all outfitted with window venting fans which allow you to bring in the cool air or vent out warm air.

There is room for parking 3 cars on the driveway and we request no street parking or parking on our lot.

Guests will have access to the whole house except for two locked closets and the garage is locked. As we live here part-time, this is where we store our things and extra supplies for guests. For security, we have a Ring doorbell and a Ring floodlight and camera on the driveway.

Other things to note:

Wild Animals - We see deer in our neighborhood and typically on our property every day. In addition to the deer; we have birds, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, fox, and rabbits. We have seen bears on our cameras during spring and summer. There is a strict City policy of NO wild animal feeding. We are careful with trash so that it will not tempt the bears. We have a bin behind doors in a shed where you can put your household trash as needed.

Steps - This is a fairly flat lot for Woodland Park, but the lot does have some areas that rise and fall - please walk around the lot with caution. All entrances to the house involve a few steps. Once you enter the house, the lower level is easy to navigate, except for a step down into the sunroom. The upper level has a staircase with 14 steps to get to the 3 bedrooms and bathroom upstairs.

Children - We love kids and allow all ages in our home. That does not mean the house is child proof. Please monitor your children and make sure areas are safe for them. We do have 2 baby gates if you need to barricade your little ones from the stairs or other areas. We also have a high chair in the pantry and a pack and play in the Primary Bedroom closet.

Smoking - We do not allow smoking or vaping inside the home. If you smoke, please do so outside and away from the doors entering the home. Use EXTREME CAUTION. We are frequently in a burn ban. On the front porch is a bucket filled with sand where you can extinguish any smoking materials. Please dispose of properly. Because of the fire hazards in our region there is to be no burning outside on our property. We do not have a fire pit because of the frequent burn bans.

Dogs - We are a dog friendly home, but please make arrangements when you book for having a dog stay. Please bring your own dog bed and crates. We have a 2 dog limit but will consider a third depending on the breed/size/age. Pet bowls are available in the pantry. Clean up after your pets - We have bags, scoops, and a bin outside to make it easy. Dogs are not to be left unattended.

Sunroom - We consider the sunroom a patio. If the day has strong sunshine, the sunroom will get quite warm. It cools off in the evening and is very pleasant to sit in during the evenings and mornings. If you are lucky enough to be hear during a rain, it's quite nice to be in the sunroom at that time. It is a solar room, so during the winter it is part of our heating system at the house and we have a built-in fan and vent that brings the warm air into the house.
