Country Cottage Cross the Creek, Close to City Feels like Country, One of a Kind

Cross the bridge, pass through the horse-head gates, and go up a winding driveway to our light, sunny guest house that feels like you're in the country far away from everything but is right off the interstate.

Our Cottage is a bright, spacious 1,800 sq. feet of living space that is unique, beautiful and sparkling clean. Our property offers plenty of outdoor places to sit and relax as well as immediate access to a regional trail that runs for miles in both directions and a toe dip in a creek. We are just a quick drive to many local attractions as well as just south of the Air Force Academy. Located along a Colorado creek, you'll may spot some Colorado wildlife. On any given visit, you'll hear the Star Spangled Banner floating through the breeze from the Air Force Academy and the train whistles as it heads north or south. This listing is a calm oasis while simultaneously very unique! We love it here and hope you do, too!

We've been hosting at our Country Cottage since 2017, accommodating families, bridal parties, team retreats, and even honeymooners at our Cottage. Our continual five-star reviews gave our family great satisfaction and pride in offering our Cottage to guests as we joined VRBO in 2019.

Our beautiful ranch-style, wheelchair accessible Cottage sleeps seven, making it perfect for families and groups. Our Cottage offers 3 bedrooms (total of 5 beds, including the trundle) as well as two bathrooms with showers. A complete, well-equipped kitchen with island, full-size refrigerator, oven and dishwasher gives you the ability to make a scrumptious dinner or whip up something quickly. A large living room has sofas perfect for a game night, watching a movie or relaxing with your group. An attached garage is available for storing sporting equipment and coolers. An outdoor patio table and chairs gives you the opportunity to enjoy Colorado's beautiful outdoors from various vantage points around the Cottage. Our property and Cottage are completely non-smoking in their entirety, so you will be able to breathe in the beautiful Colorado air both inside and out!

Our Country Cottage 'Cross the Creek is a private guest house located on our farm property. You will be able to park right outside the front door. We will contact you through the VRBO message center the week of your arrival with directions and keyless access information for the Cottage.

Our Cottage provides immediate access to the 20-mile long New Santa Fe Trail, which runs along Monument Creek from Colorado Springs to Palmer Lake, crossing through the Air Force Academy. Guests can enjoy walking, running, hiking, biking or just meandering along this trail. Our property is located just a couple miles off the interstate, so grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations and Walmart are all within 2-5 miles from our Cottage. We are one exit away from the Air Force Academy and 8 miles from the Garden of the Gods park.

Our family lives in a separate house on the property. We are available to make your stay the best experience possible if you need anything, but we are also far enough away that you will have your privacy! We love to say a quick hello when we're able to meet our guests!

Amazing Location, Lovely Hosts

This cottage is located on a farm, right next to the Santa Fe hiking trail that leads to the Air Force Academy. There are also a couple of other great hikes right there, we did the one to the hoodoo rock formation visible from the property. Our teens loved it. This is a thoughtfully and beautifully, laid out cottage, on a property with the charming character.
