The Cute House in the Canyon (near The Broadmoor)

This is a historic house with 4 bedrooms with queen beds (one is a sofa bed), another bedroom with 2 twin beds, 2 + 1/2 baths, living room, dining room, full kitchen, den with electric piano and large TV, and full-sized washer/dryer. There is also a playground for the kids and a natural spring pond for bird-watching in the backyard. Have high speed wifi on premises & both a desk and dining tables make for great work spaces. TV w/ Netflix (no cable channels/espn). Also, property features a charging station counter (bring your own USB -to-device cables).

Besides 2 bedrooms, upstairs there is a kitchenette with a table for 3-4, and a sunporch with beanbags.

Upstairs we have a mini-split for both AC and heat, downstairs has central heat and a floor-standing AC unit which keeps our place pretty cool in the summer—it is on a thermostat, feel free to turn it down as needed.

Also, we are set-back from a neighborhood arterial road with some through traffic. Guests with extreme noise sensitivity may be affected (1 complaint in last 6 months), although we have storm windows and curtains and very thick walls which minimize the noise.

This is a whole historic house, only the attic-level addition is still under renovation and thus not listed yet as a 4/5 bedroom house. There is a fenced-in backyard with playground area and ground-level grill in the backyard are for the exclusive use by Airbnb guests.

The Cheyenne Canyon neighborhood was developed in part to house the families of mid-level managers of the Broadmoor Hotel in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Given the age of the neighborhood, there are lots of mature trees nestled between historic homes. There is also a neighborhood-serving shopping area with an ice cream place, ACE, public library, a Chinese restaurant & vegan bar.

The neighborhood is well served by buses providing transport to both downtown and the Broadmoor Hotel.

A mini-split for the upstairs offers precise temperature control for the upstairs master bedroom. Downstairs bedrooms have ceiling fans with adjustable speeds. Upstairs full bath has a tub while the downstairs full bath has a shower.

We ask guests to please stay out of the fenced-off spring/pond area as we are trying to establish sensitive aquatic and riparian plants in that area--but feel free to enjoy bird-watching from the far side of the fence!
