About this cabin rental
Cascade Mountain Retreat is a 3bd/2ba house located in Cascade, CO 10 miles West of Colorado Springs. The property offers a great location within a short walking distance of Green Mountain Falls Lake and Park, and cafes and restaurants. You can a nature trail along the babbling Fountain Creek to get to the lake and have breakfast at Pantry restaurant, enjoy a late dinner at Mucky Duck, or have a beer or a glass of wine at Blue Moose Tavern while admiring the lake views. If you bring a big family with kids they may enjoy a picnic on the lake (there are some picnic tables in the park) and a playground for kids or a community pool (for a fee). A lot of attractions around within just a few miles: Pikes Peak Highway will take you to the summit of Pikes Peak; Santa's Workshop Amusement Park is a great spot for children of all ages; Dinosaur Resource Center (Museum) is a perfect educational experience for anyone; Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument is a wonderful park full of geological wonders. All attractions of Colorado Springs are about 10 miles away including the famous Garden of the Gods, Caves of the Winds, and Indian Cliff Dwellings. Historic Manitou Springs is only 8 miles away.
The house is comprised of 3 bedrooms: Master Bedroom with a king-size bed; a Guest Bedroom with a queen-size bed and a Family Suite with a queen-size bed and bunk beds (a full and a twin). There are two full bathrooms one on each floor. The spacious living room is furnished with 2 sets of leather furniture and a big-screen TV. The full kitchen has all appliances including a dishwasher. A big table for 6-8 people in the kitchen can be used as a dining area. There is also a living area with a dining table and couches downstairs with a small play area for kids. The main level has hardwood floors and a fireplace that can be used only for the holiday season.
There is a big clearing in front of the house where you can see a lot of wildlife mostly deer, squirrels, bunnies, and birds. One guest saw a sight of a bear in the night!
The views are beautiful, the setting is peaceful, and the location is awesome: only 5 miles to Woodland Park and 8 miles to historic Manitou Springs.
Come enjoy our Mountain Retreat!

Too many signs/ rules
We arrived to find the linens still in the washer & dryer, for us to finish and put away. There are far too many rules. There are signs all over the home to remind you constantly of the many rules. I am positive that we do not need instructions over the toilets on how to use them. The pictures in the listing must have been taken several years ago but everything is worn. The patio furniture is nothing like the photos. It clearly need replacement. The area is beautiful. We will return to the area but would not rent this home again.

Enjoyed location and the drive to Colorado Springs
The home was cozy and had everything needed for my husband and I. We enjoyed walking in the area and watching and taking pictures of the deer’s. Only one bathroom had towels but because was only my husband and I was not. Problem. Originally my son, wife, and baby were going to stay with us but they decided to stay at their house because would be easier with the baby. I enjoyed the evenings it was colder than I thought it would be so did not missed a/c. Was nice to have wallmart closed by. Julia thank you for all the info provided to us on everything we had around us. This made things very nice for us Great host!

The house was perfect for our family. We had 6 adults and 2 children ages 4 and 5. The play room in the basement was just great for the kids! The kitchen was well appointed, we thought the oven was ‘slow’, but then....altitude.

The owner charged us $300 for damages we did not cause. Accused me of knocking over a mailbox, and of being too slow-witted to realize it. Also accused us of staining and tearing patio furniture we did not use. We have stayed in VRBO's all over the world and have never had a problem. Our family policy is to ALWAYS leave areas we visit nicer than we found them. We are active in Scouting and enforce this rule regularly. This visit was no exception. We replaced the propane tank for the fire pit, left extra toilet paper, cleaned the place thoroughly and my wife even did the laundry before we left. In retrospect I should have paid more attention to the red flags. 1) Description says pet friendly, but fine print says no pets during busy season. 2) Excessively long rental agreement. 3) Signs in the house explaining how to use a toilet and how to use a sink.
Despite this unsavory renter; the house is nice, the area is amazing, and we enjoyed a very memorable and pleasurable vacation.

Awesome Stay
We had a very nice stay. It was a big group of people and the owner/manager brought us an extra bed. It is very quiet in the area and a lot of wildlife. Beautiful view. Great location close to everything. 5 min to Woodland Park, 7 min to Manitou Springs, a short walk to Green Mountain Falls. We will stay here again! Thank you!

Wonderful retreat, great views and location
We reserved this retreat for Thanksgiving holidays. We are very happy we did. The house-retreat is cozy with enough room for our family of 8. All furniture in the house is made of aspen log, It creates an ambiance of Colorado mountain lodge that you don't have to share with anyone else. The views from the deck are wonderful. A lot of wildlife around. There are two deck: one in the front where you can enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and see some deer, squirrels, foxes, birds... The other deck has a BBQ grill and a small propane fire pit perfect for roasting marshmallows with kids or enjoy a glass of wine while guys are making hamburgers on the grill.
The location is great: you can walk just a mile to the lake in Green Mountain Falls where kids would have fun on the playground. Adults can enjoy a few bars and restaurants right there on the lake. You can fish in the lake or feed geese and ducks. A walk back to the house-retreat is along Fountain creek that has a very nice pass with some works of art. The house is near by Cascade and Pikes Peak highway that will bring you to the summit of Pikes Peak. Santa's Workshop amusement park is just a few miles away. Kids will love it any time of the year. All other attractions are very close. Manitou Springs is 10 minutes away so it Garden of the Gods, Indian Cliff Dwellings, Cave of the Winds. There is Dinosaur Museum in Woodland Park only 5 miles away. We wanted to visit Wolf Sanctuary, but never had a chance. Make sure you have enough time when you book as this area is very rich in attractions and natural wonders...

Location is perfect
The location is great for fully enjoying the Rockies. Walking distance to Green Mountain Falls, easy drive to Woodland Park, convenient drives to the Colorado Springs Zoo, great access to several hiking trails and conveniently located to several golf courses. East-facing deck is a great place for morning coffee or evening cocktails and the side patio worked really well for grilling.
