★★Friendly Heads-Up Before You Dive into Mountain Bliss★★

• Buckle up! You're headed to the hills, and just like any good adventure, weather can be a bit unpredictable. While our cottage sits on the easily plowed main road in Green Mountain Falls, we suggest bringing your trusty 4-wheel drive or chains, especially in winter. We wouldn't want your car to feel left out of the mountain fun!
• Forget the long-distance relationship with your phone. Our mountain abode comes with spotty cell service. Fear not, Wi-Fi calling is our matchmaker here—your connection to the world won't be left hanging.
• Let's talk toilets! Our house rocks a septic system (yes, mountain life at its finest). Please only flush waste and toilet paper—no flushable impostors, please. If, by some strange twist of fate, our septic tank decides it's had enough, an alarm might serenade you. If that happens, be a hero: hit the big red button in the back hallway closet next to the small bathroom, then give us a shout. Crisis averted!
• We've got your back, or rather, your front and center. Our cozy cottage boasts both a furnace for winter warmth and a heat pump mini-split for those sizzling summer days. We like to keep things cool, even when the temperatures are high!
• No smoking, please! Our rental is strictly non-smoking—inside and out. We take fire safety seriously, and appreciate your cooperation. Thanks a million for your understanding!

Great place!
This is a great property for our family during our time in the Colorado Springs area. The property manager is very responsive to our needs throughout the week. The house was tidy with plenty of linen, seasonings, and space. It snowed during our stay so the house got a bit chilly at night but nothing the fireplace couldn't mitigate. We cooked a bit for the week and there are plenty of dishware and cooking pots to make our spread. Very pleased and will book again if we get the opportunity to come back to the area!

Accommodation was a highlight
We stayed in this ultra cozy place and it turned out to be as much of a highlight as Pike's Peak or Garden of the Gods. Everything seems to have been thought of for our comfort. Remote control fireplace was an epic touch. The Mucky Duck and The Pantry, less than 100 yards away, were amazing off the path finds. The Mucky Duck brunch on Sundays is a must.

Great experience!
The cabin was so cute and great for our family. The girls loved the bunk room. It was well appointed and had a lot of starter supplies which was a plus. We have stayed in multiple cabins in GMF and chose this one for our stay this time as it is pet-friendly, and we needed to bring our dog. I was worried about the road noise due to the location right in town but it was not an issue! Still felt so quiet and peaceful. The master bed was kind of soft for our taste, but this is personal preference and not an indictment on quality. Erin was super helpful and responsive - she even sent over late night cleaning supplies when one of my girls was sick unexpectedly. We would stay here again. =)
