    Playground

    Had a beautiful time here! I stated in the tent campgrounds, they were quiet, spacious, and had both a picnic table and a fire pit (which is a lot more than I'm used to)! A pond for fishing with rainbow trout, tons of places for little ones to play and quiet hours that are strictly enforced so everyone can get a good night's sleep. Management is super friendly and patient, and the gift shop has items made from local artists, alongside any amenities you may have forgotten to pack (I forgot my cutlery and they had a reusable compostable fork/spoon/knife kit that was perfect). On-site laundry, showers, and even an arcade. I would very highly recommend!

    Tented there one night. Price was high at $41.00 but a beautiful area and nice nearby restaurant/shopping area. Very friendly and helpful staff. Mellow Bernese mountain dog for your petting and photographing pleasure in the lobby. Other campers were nearby but quiet. Finding it was a bit of a challenge without VERY specific directions. Glad to find it when we did. Nice warm showers.

    This place was amazing. Awesome staff, great campground, so comfortable for an overnight tent camp even when it was so cold. Would highly recommend for coming here.

    Great for families with kids! They have great little cabins (electricity but no plumbing) and campsites. The whole place is clean and well arranged. Here are the pros and some cons (or things to be aware of): The pool is wonderful. It's heated to over 80 degrees and is big enough for a lot of people to swim but not too big where you lose sight of your kids. The splash pad (kind of like a synchronized fountain for kids to play on) was WONDERFUL for our one year old son to play in without danger. Even the older kids liked it. The little store has souvenirs and camping essentials. They serve a great all you care to eat pancake and sausage breakfast (coffee and OJ to drink) for $5 pp. The showers were free, warm, and (mostly) clean. Obviously they can't clean them between each guest (and some people must've been pretty filthy). No big deal, just keep your flip flops on! We stayed in a cabin. They seemed pretty new and, while smallish, we're perfect for the 5 of us (2 middle school age and one 1 year old, my wife and I). One word of advice, bring a camping pad or egg crate mattress, the mattresses (like a thick pad) were thinking. And you have to bring your own bedding. We brought sleeping bags and pillows and were fine. They have a pond stocked with trout ($7 each catch, no catch and release) and will rent fishing equipment. It's a little expensive, but the kids LOVED it! They both caught 2 and were ecstatic. The owners/operators were friendly and helpful. It's a family business. They have a dish sink behind the office, an arcade with circa 1980s games and pinball machines. There is a small playground also. It's just off a relatively busy road but the view of the mountains were beautiful. It's close to Manitou Springs and Pikes Peak and a short drive to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Seven Falls, and several other attractions. I really liked this place and we had a great time!

    Love this campground. I come here just to fish when I visit family in Colorado Springs. Great stocked trout pond that you will almost guaranteed catch fish. Gold spinners work really well. Smaller the better. Fish are $6 each( if staying on site) no catch and release. The site has lots of amenities like a dish washing station, heated pool and splash pad, playground, laundry room, fish cleaning station, wifi, arcade and hot showers. Owners are very friendly and make everyone feel very welcome and glad they are there. There is a $5 all you can eat breakfast of pancakes and sausage with orange juice available to purchase in the office. Tent camp sites are a little close to each other but are very nice clean sites. Highly recommend this location.

    Nice, clean, friendly campground. Heated pool and small pond. Lots of "private" spots. There is even a small river running thru the campground to provide serene sleeping sounds. It is close to Hwy 24 but the noise level is not bad. Plus it's cheaper than staying in a state park.

    Pj playtime after owner's pancake breakfast!

    Super crowded. No privacy and hardly any shade. Overpriced. Pool was small and fishing was outrageously expensive.

    We had our 4 grandchildren ages 8-18 with us and they really enjoyed catching trout, playing in the arcade and swimming.

    This place made me decide to never rent from a personal rental company ever again…read more I believe this rental was once nice but it is in desperate need of some TLC. To start, it was dirty. The renter confirmed that they do the cleaning themselves and it's evident. Pillow cases had stains on them, fridge and freezer had crumbs and hair in them. There should be a professional cleaner going in and sanitizing after every guest. Several things were broken (and honestly, dangerous). The door locks are also not in good shape. There is no deadbolt on the front or back door. The front door lock was literally being held together by BAND AIDS! Yes BANDAIDS. Ironically enough they had a sign next to the front door warning about bears in the area LOL. The patio fairy lights were not working. There's a floodlight that is on a minute timer so we kept having to move around if we wanted any lighting in the front porch or in the backyard where the hot tub is. If you get into the hot tub after dark, good luck, bring your own lights unless you want complete darkness. We specifically rented this cabin for the hot tub but it did not work. We followed the instructions posted. The "heating" light was on. We waited 45 minutes and the temperature didn't move a single degree. When we raised these concerns to Sandy and Bob, they were sarcastic and rude. Even after seeing the pictures with the proof. They claimed that all of our issues were because the home was "historic". Historic does NOT mean dirty and broken and unsafe. Imagine going to a historic museum and seeing things held together with band aids?! So just know that if you book and have any issues, they will not give a care in the world!

    This is by far the best, most homey and quaint properties to make your visit to the springs area…read morethe best. The hosts are the sweetest, warmest and most endearing people you'll ever meet. Their properties are always sparkling clean and stocked with everything you need. They're knowledgeable and will help you in any way. We first stayed at one of their properties in Cascade in 1999. From the moment we met them, we were endeared to them and as these 20 years have rolled by, they remain some of our best friends. You will not regret making Cascade Escapes your vacation destination!

Secluded and peaceful location. Creative use of space inside the locomotive with every inch being used to its full potential. Board Games and movies were plentiful within the unit along with a smart tv which amplified the entertainment offerings. Stunning bathroom plus a separate claw foot tub in the bedroom area. It was clean, comfortable, and everything we could have hoped for. It's also walking distance to a wine bar that offered an array of food options and old fashioned flights. I would recommend this air bnb to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle but still have adventure and experiences within a short drive.

My wife always wanted to stay in a caboose and since her birthday was coming up, I booked us in for a weekend. And I pretty much won the weekend. The inside is beautifully decorated and painted. You have TV and DVD (there are some movies to chose from), wireless, coffee and tea along with creamer and sweeteners, eating utensils, a dorm fridge/freezer--basically everything a hotel would give you, only a little more and of nicer quality. We had our own private hot tub off the back of the caboose Lynda, the owner, was fabulous, and helped us out with dining suggestions, even keeping us apprised of weather and potential flash flooding warnings. We followed her recommendations and weren't disappointed. I highly recommend the breakfast as well. We were greeted at our door in the morning to mimosas, then bacon and eggs, and a delicious type of fresh fruit tart/pancake. I'm already dreaming up reasons to come back in the winter as I'm certain it'll be even more cosy.

    The cabin was lovely, the perfect amount of room for us. It was secluded, but not so far from town…read morethat it was hard to grab groceries. Its less than an hour to most attractions in the area and honestly just hanging out at the cabin was plenty! The wood burning stove really made the whole cabin feel homey and warm, and we got to spend a ton of time in the hot tub! The bed and blankets were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies. It was the best birthday trip I had ever taken and we will be coming back for sure!

    First, check their website out. These cabins are not in Colorado springs they are in Green mountain…read morefalls which is about 15 minutes west of Manitou springs. I stayed five nights in The rustic cabin. And it was lovely, very down-to-earth small cabin. Would be really perfect for two people. all the amenities you would need. Bring food you're set. Small deck on one side wi Itth some really comfortable patio chairs and there was sun on it most of the day. around the other side there's a big picnic table and a barbecue. There are two cabins on each side but no one was home. It's at the end of a dead-end road so it's nice and quiet. A deer and a fox walked past the cabin. I know I'll be staying there again. Note: very steep wooden stairs you need to go down to get to the cabin.
