We are available if you need anything but like to give you your space to enjoy the woods and whatever adventure you are on. Let us know if you would like recommendations to restaurants or local sites. There are a bunch of fun mountain town activities and eats here in Monument and Palmer Lake (Colorado Springs too!)

This lovely guest suite attached to our home is a gem! It is so close to everything and you benefit from the safety of having our family next door and the seclusion of our forest home. You will marvel at how remote we feel while being 10 minutes from I-25! We are on a paved school route and so are always the first to be plowed making your drive easy even in the winter.

The neighborhood is adjacent to Mount Herman Open Space is one mile from our house and is a local favorite with miles of hiking and mountain biking to explore! You can find small ponds and large rock formations in your wanderings.

Palmer Lake is just a hop away as is the Historic Pine Crest (7 minutes to both!). You can bike there on back roads (3 miles) and enjoy an ice cream break at Rock House Ice Cream before you walk around the lake. There is a playground for the kids to enjoy and get the wiggles out before dinner. There are a couple great options: O'Malleys Pub where you can get the best wings in town, grill your own burger or steak, and grab a cold one; Bella Panini where you can relax and enjoy a glass of wine before you are served delicious Italian (get dessert!); or Dex's Diner where you can roll up and grab hot dogs and other fare for a quick yummy bite.

There are a few other places to eat in Palmer Lake and a bunch of good ones in Monument too! Just ask us!

We never imagined living in this forested paradise! We have 100 year old towering ponderosa pines, visiting deer and black bear passing through. We love being close to the mountain towns Palmer Lake and Monument and two Colorado lakes within 7 minutes. It is priceless for us to have our children growing up in the forest and learning independence through their outdoor adventuring. Snow forts and tree forts abound and the swings keep multiplying!

You probably will want a car to get around here. There are Ubers and Lyft available if you want to use their service.

****The guest suite is an attached, private mother-in-law suite that shares a living room wall with our personal living space. Please be aware that there are children and a sweet dog on the property and while the suite is completely separate sometimes you can hear children's noises as you could in a well insulated apartment setting.
