About this property

Elegant, clean, and comfortable ~ Historic DT Bungalow ~ Close to CC

Built in 1914, The Historic Bungalow will warm your heart and comfort your soul! Old world charm with updated amenities.

Great access to Colorado College (2 blocks) & Downtown Colorado Springs! Less than a 10 minute drive to Old Colorado City & Manitou Springs shops and entertainment, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, Bear Creek Dog Park. And approximately 20 minutes to Seven Falls, Broadmoor, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Cog Railway and the gateway to Pikes Peak! Great hiking, biking, and strolling nearby. Delicious access to Downtown restaurants and breweries!
Getting around:

Located less than one mile from I-25 exit 143, It's easy to get anywhere in town. You'll only be 2 blocks from Colorado College. There is a local bus stop on our block within 5 minutes of the downtown terminal, and we are only 12 blocks from the downtown Greyhound Station.
Other things to note
We live in a mostly quiet neighborhood and are centrally located to all Downtown shopping, dining, and amenities. Great access to all things wonderful downtown means that you can expect occasional evening activity in the area. We are in a safe, family friendly area that generally keeps to quiet hours after 11PM.

Comfortable Accommodations
The cottage was clean and comfortable. Our family of four adults had plenty of space. The kitchen was adequately stocked with cooking utensils, the bath amenities were of good quality and the beds were comfortable. The property manager was responsive to our questions and requests.

Great neighborhood within walking distance to downtown
Joanna was great with her communication through out the processes responding quickly to our concerns prior to our visit and confirming our arrival was uneventful. The apartment was very spacious and clean when we arrived and everything is depicted correctly in the pictures. Joanna also had provided snacks for the visit in the kitchen which were amazing after a long flight and a Brita water pitcher in the fridge filled and ready. I understand why there is an age requirement after visiting as Joanna has a lot of antiques on display throughout the rental, although it would be nice to return to the same location with our two kids in the future (6 and 10). Parking is on the street, but was able to get a spot right in front of the house almost every time we returned except for one day there was a graduation party near by. The neighborhood is great, quiet at night and minimal traffic throughout the day. My wife and I walked around the neighborhood in the morning and enjoyed the tree lined roads and quite atmosphere. We also took time to walk downtown one day and enjoyed a few of the businesses downtown, the walk was a little long but was very comfortable. The only real complaint or warning I would give is that due to the antiques and some older books in the apartment there is a bit of an musty/grandparent's home smell to it. I would smell the musty/grandparent's home smell only when I initially came in to the apartment and I would quickly get used to it. As stated before I would stay at this location again, the only limitation would be if our children were traveling as well because they do not meet the age requirements.
