Description
Welcome to Moose Manor! This eco-friendly retreat is styled for four-season lodging & is nestled at the base of the Rockies. The 4 bedroom, 2 bath home exudes the rustic mountain aesthetic one might expect from a traditional cabin. Enjoy modern amenities like solar power & a Tesla charging station while surrounded by wildlife & endless outdoor activities. Fantastic accommodations for a small group looking to take advantage of the mountain lifestyle or solo traveler seeking solitude!
The tasteful scale of this rustic, sun-filled home can not be overstated; cozy rooms, neutral tones, and abundant views from every window. Upon entering, you can appreciate the care and attention to detail put into the living room including homey furnishing and tons of trademark cabin charm. The main living area is illuminated by natural light and the warmth of this space is enhanced by a stunning stone fireplace. The fireplace serves as the centerpiece between two plush couches and a butterfly chair, with a flat screen mounted above the mantel.
Daily life will likely center around the massive deck while those who love to cook will be drawn to the kitchen. The quintessential cabin kitchen is highly functional and comfortable and has a sunny dining area fit for up to six people. Plenty of dining and cooking essentials are available to guests including stainless steel appliances, kitchenware, teapot, coffee maker, toaster, and tons of cabinet space. Find everything you need to prepare a wonderful home-cooked meal.
Follow the light streaming in and step outside to a huge private deck that has endless views and the perfect sitting area to watch the world go by. The sounds and views of the wildlife and Pikes Peak, (“America’s Mountain”) are the perfect sensory complement to a meal prepared on the back deck with friends or family. Cozy up next to the outdoor fireplace or heat lamp and have all the fun of camping without leaving the cabin.
When the sun goes down, unwind in one of the private bedrooms. Romantically perfect for two, but nicely accommodating for up to 10 people. Open the blinds and wake up to the wilderness after a restful sleep in the big cozy bed on the main floor. Also in the main floor bedroom is a nightstand, closet rack, and luggage rack to hold your suitcases with care. Connected to the first bedroom is a newly renovated bathroom, outfitted with a shower/bath combo, vanity, and toilet. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, and high-quality towels are provided in each bathroom. Your comfort is our top priority!
Downstairs you’ll find additional sleeping arrangements, a large bathroom, and a washer/dryer unit. To the left of the stairs is a bedroom with a luxurious king-sized bed and matching side table. A convenient desk and table provide a space for working or reading. Down the hall is another similarly-sized bedroom with an exposed wooden beamed wall for even more cabin character. This room also has ample closet space for extra storage and the bed has been made with luxury linens. Also on the lower level is a bunk bedroom, if you want to bring your little ones. The beautiful furnishings throughout create an ambiance of casual luxury.
The downstairs living quarters share a nice-sized bathroom with a walk-in shower, equipped with all your home-away-from-home essentials.
Driving electric? We have you covered with an outdoor plug to charge your Tesla overnight by the driveway. The Tesla Powerwall is solar-powered so even when the grid goes down your power stays on. It has a storage capacity and there’s no need to bring your own charging cables!

Amenities
The house is beautiful and so are the surroundings. Amazing views and Cascade is situated just outside of the main traffic of the Springs. Kitchen had everything I needed, bathrooms were very clean, bedrooms were comfortable. Host was responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here againShow more Philip was a great host, and the cabin was beautiful. However, the air conditioning didn't work, and I had trouble getting in. It took about two hours to enter the cabin.Show more Had a great stay. The home was clean, private & there were plenty of supplies that we needed (toilet paper, towels, linens, basic cooking spices, etc). We had trouble with the lock working the first 3 days and had to call every time we wanted to get in for remote unlocking so that is why 4 stars instead of 5.Show more Both the house and the view was breathtaking. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Great place definitely worth every penny!Show more
