Linens, towels, and paper products are provided for your convenience, in addition to a flat screen TV with cable. There is also a private porch with seating. This is a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy the mountains and the beautiful Rocky Mountain scenery.

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.
Extras
Extra blankets are in each room, sheets for the futon, and cleaning supplies are above the washer and dryer. Extra towels are in the bathrooms. Extra toilet paper is under each bathroom sink. Dish soap is next to the sink and a dishwasher soap is under the sink. A broom is next to the fridge, and the vacuum is in the bedroom. We do have two cots available upon request. Also, for the chef in each of us, the kitchen has enough table settings for 8, and the kitchen is stocked with fry/ sauce pans, coffee pot and supplies, waffle maker, pizza pan, spaghetti pan, indoor hamburger grill, and spices for a variety of recipes to enjoy some fun home cooked meals.
