The Neighborhood

The location of the property gives you the sense of being away from it all, while still having the convenience of being just 20 minutes from Colorado Springs and a half hour from the airport. Hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding trails are only a few minutes away. Cascade is a scenic mountain community well-suited for exploration, but with all the close-by amenities, you may never want to leave the area. Right across the road is the Wines of Colorado, a popular wine bar and creekside dining experience that serves wine, beer, and spirits. The Winery at Pikes Peak is also just a four-minute walk down the road, where you can enjoy wine tasting, brunch, or dinner. Other eateries include Fern’s Diner & Drinkery, Pikes Peak Pickle Shack, and Sweet Tooth’s Ice cream just across the highway. For outdoor activities, Heizer trail, a 6.1-mile out-and-back trail is just a three-minute drive from where you’re staying, and right next to that is Cascade Colorado Park. There’s no shortage of activities for kids and young people, including the nearby amusement park, Home of Santa’s Workshop North Pole, which opens in May and till the end of December. The greater Colorado Springs region is vast in opportunities for memorable leisure, both indoors and out. Enjoy hiking, ziplining, rafting, skiing, snowshoeing, fishing, and hunting. Indulge in museums, art galleries, performing arts venues, historic walking tours, collections of unique shops, fine dining, breweries, cocktail bars, or a visit to the zoo.
