Charming Guesthouse for 2 by Pikes Peak with Mtn Views and 5 Star Reviews!

SOUTHWESTERN CHARM FOR 2!! Relax and renew at the Sanctuary of the Rose - a luxurious guesthouse for two at the base of Pikes Peak with MOUNTAIN VIEWS and close proximity to Colorado Springs'/Manitou Springs' attractions, shops, restaurants and hiking trails!
Amenities include: original wood floors, ceiling vigas, corner kiva fireplace, queen bed with luxury linens, mini kitchen stocked with gourmet coffees and teas, home made cookies, full bath with specialty soaps/shampoos, private patio, and outdoor labyrinth. AN ADDED BONUS for 5 Plus night guests: fresh baked homemade Artisan bread delivered to your door your first morning!

GET THE COLORADO EXPERIENCE of being "in" the mountains (instead of staying in town! ) Staying in the Sanctuary gives you the Colorado experience and mountain views you come to Colorado for in addition to being close to the area's attractions, shops, restaurants and hiking trails.

BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED in southwestern décor, The Sanctuary of the Rose features a full sitting room with a corner kiva gas fireplace, original ceiling vigas, wood floors and air conditioning. Flat screen cable TV with numerous channels, DVD and CD players, and high speed wireless internet are available, along with a movie and CD collection.

BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN VIEWS from the sitting room and front porch await. The Sanctuary is decorated with original art and features a hand painted mural of the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak in the sitting room.
A separate BEDROOM area with a queen bed and luxury linens is just off the sitting room. (It features a high quality 2023 firm Beautyrest mattress & 5 star rated memory foam mattress topper.) The bedroom also has a small desk and mountain and garden labyrinth views.

The KITCHENETTE has a microwave, mini fridge, regular and Keurig coffee makers, hot water pot for tea and a Mexican tile table with bar stools. Please note this is NOT A FULL KITCHEN...there is no kitchen sink or stovetop. We have complimentary gourmet coffee and teas and bottled water available for guests. Dishes (paper and stoneware) and silverware are provided. Our guests say this little kitchenette is PERFECT for simple and easy breakfast, lunch or dinner preparation.

The FULL BATH has tile floors and a Mexican tile sink along with a full tub and shower, a hair dryer, specialty shampoo, conditioner, soaps and lotions.

ENJOY SITTING ON A PRIVATE OUTDOOR PATIO OVERLOOKING THE MOUNTAINS and a walking garden labyrinth made of Colorado river rock as you drink your morning coffee or afternoon glass of wine. Deer and hummingbirds are frequent visitors to this lovely area.

COME ENJOY MOUNTAIN CHARM at The Sanctuary of the Rose, rated EXCELLENT on all our listing sites from guest reviews!

Peaceful stay

The Sanctuary of the Rose is definitely a sanctuary! I felt so at peace there. Though there is a fair amount of traffic noise from nearby Hwy 24 outside, it is very quiet inside. The casita is the perfect size for one or two and is beautifully appointed and decorated. I found that walking the (well-designed!) labyrinth slowly and intentionally in the evenings helped settle me and set me up for a good night's sleep. One eve it was sprinkling and I had my head down, under a hood. I heard something, looked up and a herd of seven deer had joined me in the labyrinth. They stayed with me until I finished, just shifting enough to let me walk. It was pretty moving - and magical. Ann, who is so kind and friendly, provides delicious cookies and other treats, which were very much appreciated on my hiking excursions. The only thing the casita kitchenette is missing is a sink, but I made do well enough. My only suggestion for the casita would be a light painted strip on the step from the living room up to the bedroom. When I woke up to use the bathroom the first night, I forgot the drop, and nearly took a fall into the living room. Fortunately, my balance is still pretty good and I recovered, but for others that could be dangerous. Otherwise, the sanctuary is sheer perfection. I hope to return someday!

wonderful host & beautiful cottage

It was a wonderful property. Ann is an angel & helped us out a lot. I was so altitude sick I couldn't handle it and she was super about letting us cut our visit short so I could down to a lower altitude. the homemade bread and cookies were amazing. I was just not aware that I would be so sick. I would definitely say that she is an excellent host with a very cute property. She had it decorated really cute for the holidays too

Sanctuary of the Rose

The sanctuary was incredible! Cute, comfortable, well appointed, it had everything you needed for a short stay. Plenty of local information about restaurants, activities and shopping. The host went out of her way to make our stay wonderful (the cookies were amazing), if we are in the Colorado Spings area in the future we will definitely stay here again.

This was just what we needed. A little cottage in the mountains. The host Ann was so sweet. Wants to make sure you have all you need. We were spoiled with home made bread and cookies. The house is very inviting and was bigger than I thought. You can’t go wrong stay ing here. A big plus is, it’s right in the middle of everything to do there.

Close enough, but far enough

This cozy little suite is a great spot to get away. Far enough away from the city that it's a distant thought, but close enough to hop to any activities you may want. The local food was enough to keep us fed for the weekend. While it is tucked away in a neighborhood and we shared some of the outdoor time with the sounds of others, the labyrinth and the mountain views were more than enough to set the much needed relaxing tone. Would definitely saty here again!

Amazing spot tucked in the mountains!

LOVE this place! Amazing stay in Colorado Springs- tucked up by Pikes Peak and away from hustle and bustle of the city. Stayed here for USAFA graduation and it was excellent. Host was very responsive and kind, would certainly stay again!! Lovely to sit on the porch and backyard patio and watch nature while having coffee and/or wine. Artistic and peaceful vibes, just what I needed. Bedroom overlooks labyrinth, which was so nice to meditate and walk on. It has a small kitchenette (no sink) but works fine for a few days stay with a small fridge, Keurig and microwave. Cell phone reception wasn’t the best but who cares- it was so nice to get away and relax!

Stay here if you can!

We were only to stay for two nights because we were in town for a wedding. But this place is incredible - if you have the chance to stay here, take it. The host is so incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the place offers a chance at healing and reflection. We absolutely loved our stay and will be back again.

Truly a Sanctuary

What a wonderful place to stay for my first visit to Colorado. We gave The Sanctuary and Ann a much deserved 5-star rating. From beginning to end, The Sanctuary was amazing. We arrived to fresh baked cookies, and started the next day with Ann's delicious fresh baked bread and jam. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure her guests are well taken care of. She provided all the amenities you will need for your stay. She takes the stress out of traveling due to her attention to every detail. The Sanctuary itself is truly comfortable and charming, from the bedding to get a good night's sleep, a comfy sofa which is a must when relaxing and a nice patio to enjoy the outdoors. We are looking forward to our 5-star vacation next year.

Perfect for CO Springs getaway

My husband and I stayed here due to the proximity of the property to a hike that we wanted to try. The property is lovely and Anne is a warm and welcoming host! It’s obvious by the personal touches and attention to detail that she wants her tenants to be comfortable and have an enjoyable stay. We would definitely stay here again. As a side note, try the Wines of Colorado restaurant located across from the community if you stay here. We ate there twice; the food was delicious and the service is super friendly. Grab a reservation as it seems to be very popular.

This was our second time staying at the Sanctuary of the Rose. Ann is a wonderful hostess! The beautiful little casita was the perfect retreat and gateway for our spring break activities. Ann made us feel like family. And when it snowed, our car was magically cleaned of snow. It was niceties like this that made us truly appreciate their hospitality.
