Summary: This 3-bedroom, 1-bath cottage is centrally located in a charming area of Colorado Springs, offering irresistible old-time charm in its “bones,” yet updated and furnished with an eye toward comfortable, clean modernity. Enjoy outdoor dining, plus a fire pit circle appointed with cushioned seating that invites you to stay a while. Walkable neighborhood close to the dining, shopping, museums and entertainment of Downtown. Super-close to parks, trails, awe-inspiring scenery & outdoor adventures. The Space: Brace yourself for maximum quaintness! This adorable Victorian-era cottage is a freestanding structure nestled behind a larger main residence with access from the main road and a pathway leading around to your private entrance. Please be mindful of the home the grounds are shared with and enjoy your stay! Two entrances with sweet covered porches open onto a pleasant side yard separated from the main house by a picturesque pergola. This is a historical corner property to be admired, accented by a stone wall and decorative iron fence. It will capture your imagination as well as your heart. The cottage has been appointed with your ease and comfort in mind. While you’ll find yourself surrounded by precious original details, like paneled wainscoting and well-tread, cognac-hued floors, you’ll find that contemporary furnishings and décor have been carefully selected to make you feel at home, and the bathroom and kitchen are beautifully updated. You'll enter through the far right front door leading into the eat-in kitchen, a bright, sunny space with an entire wall lined with windows that shed light over a center island/breakfast bar with stool seating for 6. Enjoy preparing at-home meals on the granite countertops, accented by a white subway tile backsplash, white cabinets, and chic modern light fixtures. A suite of full-size appliances stands ready to serve, including a refrigerator/freezer, range with cooktop and oven, microwave, and dishwasher. Make free use of the blender, coffee maker, cooking utensils and chef’s knives. A door opens from the kitchen onto a small covered porch and the yard beyond, where you’ll find an outdoor dining table with six chairs beneath strings of festive party lights – perfect for enjoying fresh-air meals in fine weather. A cozy corner of the yard has been transformed into a fire pit retreat that is shared with the residents of 232 N. Franklin Street, encircled by high-end cushioned outdoor furniture, including four chairs and two benches. You’ll be tempted to spend long, serene evenings here, watching the flames illuminate the faces of those you love. Off of the kitchen, you’ll find an elegant bath with sleek modern finishes, offering a combination tub/shower and a large mirrored medicine cabinet above the sink vanity. The opposite direction from the kitchen is the delightful living room with rich original woodwork, where you can kick back and watch TV from the 3-person sofa or a comfy chair. A bright corner bedroom on this level is cheered by windows on two walls and a French door leading to a sheltered porch with charming café chairs, where you can share a quiet cup of morning coffee with a loved one. This room is furnished with a King bed and a freestanding clothing rack that accommodates both hanging and folded garments. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a bonus room await to provide restful respite. In the first of these, a desk and chair have been added for the convenience of any guest who may be working or studying during their stay. They are accompanied by a king bed, clothing rack, and an antique dresser. In the second bedroom, an extra-special surprise awaits. A curious half-sized door is cut into the wall, leading into a “secret” room tucked into the peak of the roof. Here, you’ll find plenty of pillows, two hassocks, and a rug where kids can play or nap, or where grown-ups can retreat for meditation or yoga. Back in the bedroom, a queen size bed awaits, along with a clothing rack and a TV. Hotel-grade linens are professionally laundered after every visit. This home is managed by a local vacation rental specialist, and there’s a sense of quality and care that’s worthy of your 5-star review.

Had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. A little odor from kitchen area but overall house was clean and well kept. On street parking but didnt have any issues and always had a place to park. ##### Jerry G. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Judy W. 27 Aug 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Such a darling cottage! This place was so cute. There was plenty of room for my husband and me. Other reviewers have said it was small but we didn’t think so. The kitchen island seats 4 for meals and the living room seats 4. If you have more than 4 in your party, I would ask if the host has extra chairs available. Very quiet and comfy! ##### Judy W. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaime D., Smithfield, Virginia 26 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### June in the Springs It was incredibly charming and super comfortable! We absolutely loved it! It was a bit smaller than I had expected but everyone still had plenty of room and it was just the cutest little place! My 5 year old daughter loved the loft area, the beds were super comfortable! My only worry was them going up & down the little stairs but they did ok with it & no one fell so that was a win, and I thought it would be hard sharing the BR but that wasn't bad either and there was plenty of hot water. And the outside space was just picture perfect. We would love to stay there again! ##### Jaime D. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew M. 9 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute house close to Colorado Springs The location of this property is excellent to downtown Colorado Springs. It's a unique property with enough space for 2 couples with kid's comfortably. We thought the 1 bathroom would be an issue, but it wasn't. The old stairs up to the second floor may be difficult for some but overall we had a great time. The only complaint would be that we had arrived at night and it was tough to see where the property was as it is behind another and doesn't have a presence from the street. A better-lit address sign closer to the street would have fixed this. Thank you so much for hosting this great property. ##### Andrew M. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mark W. 15 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Location #### Smaller than it appears This "house" sits behind the main house and is much smaller than the pictures make it appear. The heat was so hot that we couldn't even sleep there with it turned all the way down. The old style furnace made the walls so hot it felt like the place was going to catch on fire. I evacuated my family to a hotel and we cut our stay there in half. The owner did refund the two nights we did not stay... so at least there's that. Our visit to Colorado Springs was nearly ruined by this ridiculousness. ##### Mark W. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Heather R. 13 Jul 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Disappointing My family of 5 was super excited to stay here, but unfortunately left after about 30 minutes of being in the house. We were met with a foul odor in the kitchen when we walked in. Our kids took their shoes off and the bottoms of their feet were covered with dog/cat hair and dirt from the floor. While the company was quick with a polite response, they claimed it was fine and offered no refund of any kind. The pictures are also extremely misleading, this house is much smaller and not nearly as nice as it seems. We were disappointed and had to scramble to find another place at the last minute. ##### Heather R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Juan S. 8 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Nice house Almost everything was perfect. Kitchen above the refrigerator, there were a lot of crumbs. We pay a fee for cleanup so we expected everything cleaned. The other thing that would be helpful is knowing the days the trash is picked up so we could take the trash out. One of the a/c wasn’t working, I didn’t know who to contact to get it fixed. Turns out that it just needed draining, but had to figure that out at 1 am. The last thing that we all thought was weird is the bathroom sink and the cabinet above. We had trouble rinsing our mouth after brushing our teeth. There was just not enough space to do that. I like being blunt about my reviews and those were the only things that I think would be better taken care of before anyone checking in. The pros is everything else. neighborhood is good, check in was easy, the beds are very good, definitely enjoyed that. the price was perfect, outside was clean. Our family loved staying there and even with all the cons I mentioned, our family and I would definitely stay there again. ##### Juan S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jeff b. 7 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy Colorado carriage house! My husband and I took a dog friendly vacation to Colorado Springs! Our stay was very comfortable with all the amenities of home! The decor was tasteful and welcoming. The attention to detail was amazing from the outdoor lights to extra fans for the unseasonably warm weather. Very comfortable home away from home! ##### jeff b. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022
