About this house rental

Step into the past with a visit to this incredible custom ranch-style home, built with all the unique details of the iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The brick exterior with monochromatic colors, a cleverly designed stack stone fireplace, and a rectangular picture window all add to the charm and character of this mid-century modern gem. It's truly a part of an era when stylish, simple Usonian-style small houses were designed for the middle-class American family's way of life. Think big band music, cool furniture, community gatherings, and wholesome family times.

The home is located on a beautiful corner lot, with views of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods, and just a short walk to charming Old Colorado City, full of shops, restaurants, and parks. With so many attractions just a short drive away, this home is the perfect place to experience all the great things that Colorado has to offer.

Outdoors, a sunny and bright patio is perfect for soaking in the 320 annual days of sunshine. Inside, you'll find an updated mid-century modern kitchen bathed in natural light, with a wood-burning fireplace in the living room. The master suite and two other bedrooms are located on the main floor.

The basement serves as a family-friendly entertainment zone, boasting a wet bar, big screen TV, and the perfect place for a game of ping pong. There's also a full-size clothes washer and dryer, and there's plenty of parking too!

This beautiful house offers a trip down memory lane, back to a simpler time and a way of living that many of us still cherish today.

It's a 45-minute scenic drive to Cripple Creek, travel 50 miles further west over some of the most beautiful Colorado Mountain passes and you'll arrive in Summit County. The ski towns of Breckenridge, Keystone, Frisco, Dillon, and Copper Mountain are great places to ski in the winter and enjoy the mountain hospitality and serenity that abounds.

Red Rocks Amphitheater and Fiddler's Green concert are in nearby Denver and host some of the world's finest musicians.

This location was the very best! Central to USAFA, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, and most of Colorado Springs. The house had plenty of space with lots of things to do when you were not out doing things. Especially enjoyed drinking coffee out on front patio looking at the peak! Would 100% stay here again

Our only regret with this stay is that we couldn’t extend trip because our boys were leaving for collage. This house is the ultimate vacation house ! We went out everyday day to our excursions all so close and came back cooked out in backyard and watched Netflix’s as as a family in the outstanding backyard. Only one rainy night where I best my husband in ping pong and poker!! This is your vacation house! We enjoyed every morning having coffee and breakfast in front yards admiring Mountain View’s . Again my last regret I could stay there longer or buy property. Nancy checked in but we were so taken care of my only regret didn’t get to meet her in person!

We had a wonderful week at this house. It was in the perfect location to visit Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, and Cañon City. We walked to the Old Colorado City strip from the house a few times to walk the shops and eat dinner. Nancy was an excellent host and the property was exactly as described. Would stay here again and will recommend this place to friends.

We had a wonderful stay at the Retro Retreat. It reminded me of when I used to stay at my grandma's house; I felt immediately comfortable. The house is clean and cozy (my grandma also had a rotary phone!). The kids loved ping pong, the hot tub and were impressed by the large outdoor TV. We ate dinner outdoors on the patio and took in the amazing views. The location is perfect. It was so close to all the things we had planned: Garden of the Gods, Manitou springs, Pikes Peak and the Flying W Ranch (I highly recommend the chuck wagon meal there). It's also within walking distance of restaurants and shops in Old Colorado City. Nancy was amazing and allowed us to check in early, which was so helpful after a long morning of travel from the East Coast. We were able to get settled, then walked to lunch. The only downside was we didn't book enough days! It was the perfect place to start our CO vacation visiting family.

Nancy was a fantastic host and the location of the house was convenient to many amazing restaurants and shops. It was perfect for our short stay in Colorado Springs. The hot tub and backyard patio TV was an added treat.

The location is perfect. Walkable to shops, restaurants and bars. Short drive to Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak Cog Railway. The amazing retro home included a Rotary Phone. :). Very clean, great views from the front. Visits from mule deer while sitting on the front patio.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the property. The location was perfect for our adventures and the house had wonderful spaces to gather as a group of 8 or in smaller groupings (including "seniors," and a 5 and 7 yr old). The inside and outside living spaces gave us lots of options, including hot tub, fireplace, dinner on the patio, and even views of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods. We had plenty of parking in a quiet and nice area with a cul de sac street. The accommodations are pictured accurately and Nancy was easy to work with. We'd plan to stay here again if we return for another family gathering to Colorado Springs and area. I highly recommend this VRBO!
