Stream-side Mountain Home
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Stream-side Mountain Home is a smoke-free vacation home in Cascade-Chipita Park (Cascade, Colorado), set on the waterfront beside Fountain Creek, a year-round stream fed by snowmelt from Pikes Peak. The 900 sq ft, two-story layout includes a loft and is designed around the outdoors—open windows bring in the sound of the creek, and a deck overlooks the water and surrounding views. It holds a public rating of 5/5 based on 318 reviews.
Space & Sleeping Setup
The home sleeps up to 8 including a sleeper sofa. Sleeping options include a queen bedroom plus a loft with a double bed and bunk beds. There are two full bathrooms: an upstairs tub/shower bath and a newer main-level full bath with a shower.
Kitchen & In-home Amenities
A newly completed, well-equipped kitchen includes an oven/stove, microwave, and a serving bar designed for group gatherings. In-home comforts and conveniences include heating, a fireplace, cable TV, free Wi‑Fi, and a washer. Free parking is provided.
Outdoor Areas
Guests have multiple outdoor spaces including a balcony, patio, and a deck with an outdoor grill and a large table that seats 8–10. A shaded lawn picnic area sits across the property’s bridge, adding another spot for meals and downtime by the creek.
Location & Nearby Highlights
The home is positioned for outdoor sightseeing with notable nearby attractions including Garden of the Gods and Cave of the Winds, and the landmark Glen Eyrie Castle. For events, Pikes Peak Center and Colorado Springs City Auditorium are within reach. Nearby dining options include The Pantry (about 1.4 km), Cantina Verde (about 1.4 km), and The Mad Hatter Saloon LLC (about 2.3 km), with additional restaurants and bistros farther out.
Best for
This property suits families or small groups who want a quiet, nature-forward stay with space to gather, thanks to the deck dining table for 8–10, outdoor grill, and multi-bed loft setup. It’s also a strong fit for travelers planning days in and around Colorado Springs’ major sights (including Garden of the Gods and Cave of the Winds) while returning to a stream-side setting away from busier areas.
Travel tips
If you’re flying in, Colorado Springs Airport is the closest listed airport (about 29.4 km away), while Centennial and Pueblo Memorial airports are substantially farther. Plan at least some meals in: the home has a full kitchen (oven/stove and microwave) plus a grill, and nearby restaurants like The Pantry and Cantina Verde are a short drive away. For evenings, the deck and creek-side setting are a key part of the experience—consider timing downtime at the home rather than packing every day with outings.
