The space
The Trail House is a great mountain getaway located just 15 minutes from the small town of Woodland Park. Guests enter through the front door which is three steps down from the parking area. Our home is comprised of 3 levels - the main floor which includes the living room, bathroom, kitchen, and dining area. Upstairs is a loft with a queen bed and downstairs are a full and twin bed, another bathroom, and utility room, with a washer and dryer, and a place to hang clothes. There are two decks the larger of which is located off the main floor and includes outdoor patio furniture along with a wrought iron table, umbrella and set of chairs. The other is located outside of the sliding door on the lower level. There is a private backyard but often it is covered with native plants.
On the drive up from Woodland Park you will have the chance to see some of Colorado's iconic wildlife such as elk, mule deer, fox, and wild turkeys. You'll also have some spectacular views of Pikes Peak.
From the summer festivals in Woodland Park, to the eclectic shops in Manitou Springs, to world class trout fishing, hiking and ATV trails, to numerous state parks and national forest recreation areas, to the excitement of casinos in Cripple Creek (which boasts the highest casino in the world!), not to mention all the activities in nearby Colorado Springs, highlighted by the Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, and Manitou Cliff Dwellings. We are confident that there is something for everyone to enjoy!

Other things to note
***4WD or AWD is recommended during the spring, fall and winter since guests may experience winter conditions at any time, and Host is not responsible for guest towing.

Also, when using water (flushing the toilet, bathing, washing hands, laundry, dishes, etc.) you will hear the motor-type sound of our pump as it refills the tank. This is normal, and typically runs in short bursts. The pump is located in the laundry room under the stairs.
