About this property

  • This Historic House is 116 years old and was built by an early Cripple Creek mining engineer. In 1926 it was converted into a duplex. You will have the entire upstairs of the duplex when you book this listing.
    It will remind you of early Colorado Springs at the turn of the 20th century. The neighborhood boasts 100-year old trees, good walking areas and 3 parks. We are within walking distance of Downtown and 2 blocks to Memorial Hospital.

    You will feel as if you are on grandmother's large front porch with wicker furniture and swing for relaxing! Have lunch here or enjoy wine at the end of the day.

A Really Great Garden Area

Beautiful home

This home was perfect for hosting our family reunion. The kids items already there were a huge plus, and John and Jenny were extremely easy to work with. The home is on a really busy street, but it wasn’t too big of a deal. There’s also a park a few blocks away.

Family reunion/get together

Overall impression was great. Historic home and we loved the decor that matched. Plenty of space for us to sit and visit inside and multiple porches and gathering areas outside. Would stay again if we have the need.

This property worked well for our family reunion.

The house was really nice and certainly fit our needs for our family reunion. The yard could have used some sprucing up but we mostly used the backyard bbq area which was perfect. John and Jenny were wonderful to work with and provided great communication and service. We would certainly recommend the house and would come back again.

Once again, this home more than met our needs for a large family in a convenient location.

With two separate living areas each on its own floor, our daughter's family had their own space and we had ours to retire to. We did not make use of the outdoor living area and hot tub due to competing activities and spring weather, but they are a wonderful addition. We plan to be back next year.

The host Jenny was amazing!

The host was great, literally the best part of the house! The house was mewe but it seems to be the theme for that area. The house is historic though. Not as clean as anticipated but the whole area seemed kind of like that. The house really has everything you need for your stay (minus food). The house definitely has the space! We had a large group of us and it didn’t feel like we were on top of each other.

Amazing Christmas house!

We had such a memorable stay at the home. It has so many great features, but our family enjoyed the hot tub the most. We never left the property for our whole stay. Jenny &John thanks for making our Christmas the best yet!

Loved it, great house in a great location

We stayed 6 nights and were very pleased with the whole experience. Easy location to get around town from. The driveway was a little challenging to navigate, a lower riding car may not make it in, but there’s plenty of parking on the street. The hot tub was awesome and the backyard with outdoor kitchen was a fantastic touch 10/10 would recommend
