Other Things to Note \*\* Have your camera ready for a glimpse of our local critters, for it is common to see bear, mountain lion, bobcat, deer, fox, and other wildlife roaming through town or in the yard. Please don’t pet or feed them though, as they are wild creators and it is dangerous and illegal and will result in stiff fines and penalties. Wildlife fed by humans become dependent on that food and will cause damage to property and to humans and will have to be destroyed. Please enjoy them from a distance. There are trash cans provided for trash inside. Smells do attract them, so please be safe and keep these locked up, and don’t leave food in the car. Bears have been found to break car windows to get at it, the bears also seem to know the garbage man’s pick-up schedule and route! \*\* Just 15 min. from Colorado Springs and 10 min. from Manitou Springs or Woodland Park are numerous other area attractions, like Pikes Peak, the North pole (Santa’s Workshop), Crystal Falls, Manitou Springs Incline, Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, Cave of the Winds, and Garden of the Gods to name a few. We are close to many other activities, including shopping, restaurants, swimming, fishing, hiking, and other activities in the Winter which include downhill or cross-country skiing, or hockey and ice skating on the frozen lake. Speed Limit Residential areas in Chipita Park/Cascade and Green Mountain Falls are highly populated in the summer. Please observe the 20-mph speed limit on all residential roads. Most children think of Green Mountain Falls as one big playground and are sometimes unaware of traffic. Please be aware of them. Parking Plenty of parking room is provided in the area on the West side of the property in the gravel. Please don’t park in the yard. If you park in the area across from the house near the stream, you will be ticketed by the city.

There was myself, my husband and our adult daughter. We chose this location because my husband currently is experiencing difficulty in walking and we could not climb stairs. It is close to the lake and gazebo. Very quiet. One evening 3 or 4 deer jumped the fence to our neighbor's front yard and feasted on green grass! Plenty of space for a family of 8 as advertised. ##### Viola K. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Judy J., Saint Paul 9 Jul 2018 #### very nice house The cozy cottage was great for our family. We were travelling with our young adult kids and we had enough space to make it comfortable for all of us. The cottage is newly remodeled and is very nicely done with unique touches. We needed one cooking item which was not available and it was solved quickly by the owner, which we really appreciated. Kitchen is small, but functional. Stocked with items you need but would not bring with you. Nice bedrooms. It is a short walk to the park. We did not visit any of the local spots other than the park. Easy location to come and go to the local attractions. ##### Judy J. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ---
