I am a retired electrical engineer who worked in the Silicon Valley Tech scene for my entire career. These days, my passion is hosting, entertaining and cooking! I am a foodie so I have checked out most of the local dining spots and can offer recommendations. I also do a fair amount of travel for pleasure. I'm originally from Asheville, NC but I've lived in Colorado since 1995.

The guesthouse is in a idyllic location for your stay. The property is in a quiet neighborhood on a private cul-de-sac and it feels like you are in Garden of the Gods. While the location feels completely private and remote, it is actually very close to all of Colorado Springs main attractions. It is also minutes from a Safeway, a liquor store, and tons of great restaurants. You are only a: - 10-minute walk to Garden of the Gods Park entrance - 7-minute drive to charming Manitou Springs' restaurants, boutiques and mineral springs - 5 minutes drive to historic Old Colorado City's galleries and restaurants - 10 minutes drive to downtown Colorado Springs - 15 minutes drive to the entrance to drive up to Pikes Peak You will take in majestic views from multiple points: the patio, the yard, the hot tub, the living room and the fire pit! Imagine a 14,115' tall mountain range towering 8000' over the Colorado Springs skyline while sitting out drinking your morning coffee (or glass of wine as the sun sets). Local wildlife are frequently wandering through the yard. Best of all there are no mosquitoes or bugs to ruin your vibe!
