Ridgetop Retreat

Description of the Woodland Park vacation home rental

Guest Comment: "We had a great time. The house was beautiful as were the surroundings.
Thank you for sharing your home with us. Every thing was very clean
and easy to find. It made our vacation feel like a vacation, who wants to go stay in a stuffy hotel
when you can stay in a home like that. You made the transactions very smooth and easy, no fuss. Who
can complain when you wake up to that view!!"



Located about three miles from Woodland Park, it is convenient to run into town for those last minute
needs, shopping, movies or other needs.

This is not a party house! We love people to come enjoy a very nicely appointed house, but we also
want respect for our property.

Also, we have found children under 12 years old to be problematic and since the property is not
child-proofed we ask that no children under 12 be in your party. Exceptions on an individual case
basis.

This ridgetop log home built in 2002, has beautiful views of Pikes Peak and the alpine setting from
every window. The main living area is on the second story. The house sits on a ridge and you feel
like you are living amongst the trees. The home is about 9,000 feet, therefore it will feel about 10
degrees cooler than Colorado Springs.

Two redwood decks and a spacious covered patio let you relax under the pine and aspen canopy. The
living area and master bedroom have great hardwood flooring with carpeted areas in the game room and
the other three bedrooms.

The bedrooms all provide a great retreat. The master has a king bed with a memory foam mattress. Two
of the other bedrooms have queen beds with pillow-top mattresses. The fourth bedroom has an antique
quarter bed with a memory foam topper on the mattress.

The electric start gas Moss Rock fireplace allows you to set the mood immediately. A matching log
cabin adjacent to the home and patio houses a large Jacuzzi hot tub for relaxation, no matter what
the weather.

This is also a great location to sit quietly and watch the wildlife. The variety of birds is
amazing. Hummingbirds are abundant, as well as, deer, squirrels and chipmunks.
Occasionally you will have a black bear , elk, raccoon or fox visit. It is a great place to
enjoy the outdoors.

The country kitchen has a great eat-in island as well as an adjacent dining area.

This home will provide you with a great hub for day trips and local activities with all the
comforts of home. Relax on the deck and read, or enjoy a great Jacuzzi spa treatment, and cook your
own gourmet meals in the open kitchen.

Woodland Park, "The City Above the Clouds , is located 14 miles west of Colorado Springs, and is a
prime tourist destination, offering an alpine setting for relaxation and fun. The town boasts many
weekly activities and attractions that make your stay here very memorable. There are several
eclectic shops in Woodland Park, many good eateries and grocery shopping at national chains.

Located at 8,500 feet, the town has a very pleasant climate and is very accessible during the winter
months. Whether you love skiing, rafting, hiking, fishing, casinos, biking, rock climbing, outdoor
concerts or even golf, Woodland Park is a great hub for all of these activities.

Pikes Peak access is only 10 minutes away, Cripple Creek casinos are 35 minutes away, golf in the
Springs is 20 minutes down the mountain, ski Breckenridge is 90 minutes away, and hiking, fishing and
outdoor activities are minutes from town in the National Forest.

Other attractions include, river rafting down the Arkansas River, Cripple Creek & Victor Gold
Mining Co., Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, horse-back riding at Flying W Ranch,
Garden of the Gods, rock-climbing, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource
Center, Royal Gorge Route Railroad, Pikes Peak Cog railway, theater in Cripple Creek at the
opera house, and great hunting just minutes away.

 WONDERFUL, July 30, 2009

By Ray Miller (Olathe, KS, USA)

We loved the home. It has all the amenities one would have in one's own home with the added benefit of a spectacular view of Pike's Peak and surrounding mountains. It is also an easy drive to many attractions, including the Air Force Academy, rafting, golfing etc.
