★★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!

Amazing Stay

This home was so cute and just like the photos. Check in and check out were a breeze, and the host was communicative and helpful. We loved the proximity to all of the activities that we wanted to do, and the town was so neat! We had a great time and would recommend it to anyone going to that area.

Charming and ideally situated

This quaint little cottage is ideally situated in the heart of historic Green Mountain Falls. Whether you come during the Green Box Arts Festival or enjoy a quieter time of year, there is always something to do! Go on an art walk, read a book in nature, visit the horse rescue barn, or take a big hike and celebrate with a cold cerveza at Cantina Verde. Don't miss this special place!

Well appointed kitchen with all the utensils needed for proper cooking All very clean and tidy, with everything we needed The village was lovely and we spent a great 4th of July evening with the Brass band and a candlelit procession

Great house, host and location

House was perfect for me, my wife and youngest son. Host was excellent with great communication from start to finish of the process and stay. Location of the house could not be better if you want to enjoy Green Mountain Falls area. We would no doubt stay again. One of my best experiences renting a VRBO.

Great Mountain Getaway

My family of 6 traveled from Tulsa, OK for a lacrosse tournament at the Air Force Academy. The home was perfect and gave everyone enough privacy and space. Amenities in the house were great and had everything we needed to cook meals with when we were there. The ice cream shop, restaurant, and bar within walking distance was an added bonus! Highly recommend!

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.

The inside of the house was good, great kitchen! We only wished it had more appeal on the outside (yard, seating, etc). The street out front is busy and somewhat noisy. Eating at The Pantry was probably the highlight of our stay…….eating outside there was awesome! Would definitely recommend it!

Great Cottage

The cottage has been nicely renovated and updated. It has everything you need to enjoy your stay to include in the kitchen with Utensils and cooking ware. I have 4 kids from elementary to middle school and the accommodations were great for all of us. The house sits on this small street with a beautiful park and some local businesses. My only complaint and it is no fault of the home owner at all, the post office across the street has an overly bright flood light that never turns off and one of the neighbors near by has a dog that barks uncontrollably until the owners finally bring it inside. Erin was responsive and great, answered my questions and inquiries quickly and checked on us. Over all, it was fantastic and the location is great.

The BEST vacation experience!!

Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about Moonrise Cottage and Erin. The photos and description of the cottage do not do it justice. The property sets in such a cute town where you can walk to breakfast, coffee and also just sit on a bench and read while enjoying the mountain view. We found the location to be perfect and not in a busy, high traffic area yet only 10-15 minutes from Colorado Springs and other attractions. The cottage itself was immaculate/exceptionally clean and Erin has thought of all the comforts of home you might need during a vacation. Our family especially enjoyed the kitchen items (we cooked in the cottage several meals), grill, French press coffee maker, washer and dryer, charge cords for devices, WiFi, and many more comforts during our stay. There was plenty of space for our family of 4 and I would stay here again and recommend to a friend in a heartbeat! Erin was also wonderful about answering questions about things to do in the area and sending plenty of information for an easy check-in and check-out. She was also available by text during our stay with questions. We have stayed in several rental homes and this was the BEST experience by far!

Adorable getaway with rustic charm near small town

We loved watching the magpies and deer outside the window. The cabin was in a prime location near Manitou Springs where we could literally walk to gift shops and restaurants and a lake with a gazebo but still have mountain views and watch wildlife. It was quiet and cozy and it had everything we needed for the best family vacation we have ever had. Thank you!

Erin, our host was a delight to communicate with for ideas and quick to respond to any questions. Moonrise Cottage is the perfect location to all things around Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs. The people were very friendly in Green Mountain Falls. Across the street are two good restaurants: The Pantry for breakfast and lunch; Cantina Verde for dinner. Three retired teachers felt safe and enjoyed our visit to Colorado. P. S. Take the Cog Railway to the top of Pikes Peak, Adventures Out West for a fun jeep ride through Garden of the Gods, visit the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and tour the Cave of the Winds. Until next time,Paula, Susan, & Judy

We will return

Let me just say we have stayed in many VRBO’s but this one takes the cake!!! There is absolutely nothing Erin has not thought of. This didn’t just feel like a place we were staying but home away from home, kitchen fully stocked from appliances, pots and pans, bake ware, all the cooking utensils even for the grill. Spices, coffee, teas. We had fans, extra blankets and towels - it was amazing. Next visit is a hiking trip with the girls! Can’t wait to rebook!!!!

Great getaway!

We drove out from Texas for a long weekend getaway and this cabin was the perfect home base. It’s tucked away in a cute town between Manitou Springs and Woodland Park. It was the perfect size for our family of 5–not too big, not too small—and had everything we needed. We loved working a puzzle together and streaming movies in the living room. We walked across to the shops and restaurants. We ate at Cantina Verde, Blue Moose, and the Pantry and all were delicious. We visited Bones, Stones, and Wood just about every day to shop and visit the shop kitty. It was such a fantastic trip. I wish we didn’t have to go home!

Peaceful Cabin Close to the City

The house was extremely clean. The cleanest rental we have ever had! Th3 location is right in Green Mountain Falls, walking distance to the restaurants and many trails. Close enough to the city but located in a small town for a peaceful relaxation. We felt very safe and comfortable in the town and house! The house had everything needed from a collection of teas to any spice you would want. We ended up cooking every meal there. Erin has thought through everything you would need/want in a rental. The communication was fantastic with her as well! We will definitely rent here again!

Our family enjoyed our stay so much! The cabin was fully and thoughtfully stocked . Everything was super clean and the beds were comfortable. Our girls loved the bunk room and toys/games and colorful light. Enjoyed watching a family of deer from the window almost daily. Location is excellent and a short walk to the beautiful little town of of Green Mountain Falls. Erin was an excellent host and we hope to visit again :)

Mountain house

We really enjoyed our stay. We love that it is steps from restaurants and a playground/greenspace. It’s an art lover’s town so we enjoyed seeing various art pieces around the town. I cooked every night at the house so I really appreciated a stocked kitchen. I love to drink tea so was very happy to see a tea kettle and a selection of tea. The house was very nicely decorated and was very comfortable. My girls enjoyed all the toys. The deer outside the window at night was as a highlight. We would stay again if in the area.
