Tucked away in a landscape of soaring Ponderosa Pine Trees, this 5 acre family rancher offers a peaceful, comfortable forest getaway in beautiful Black Forest, Colorado, located just north of Colorado Springs. Feel your anxiety leave as you enjoy looking out at the seemingly endless pines from the covered back patio. Remodeled in 2024 by an Air Force family, you’ll love the thoughtfully designed and inviting living spaces that prioritize comfort and togetherness. Whether its game night on the dining table, enjoying meal prep in the new kitchen, or spending time soaking in forest sights, sounds and scents on the back patio, as your kids adventure on the playground or play tag in the trees, we hope every moment will help you and your family unwind, and make memories that will last forever. The home: This is a ranch style home with the occasional step up or step down spread throughout. There is new carpet, paint, furnishings, and many new fixtures recently added for your enjoyment. It has a combination dining room/living room, a breakfast nook, wood fired heating stove, 2 well designed bathrooms, and 3 bedrooms. There is plenty of space for 2 or 3 cars to park in the long driveway. In the back, is a large concrete patio with an available patio cover, a playground for the kids, and relaxing views of the forest. Sleeping accommodations: We have 2 King bedrooms and an additional bedroom with 2 queens. One King bedroom has an ensuite full bathroom. Our 2-queen bedroom sits just one door down the hall from this room. The final king bedroom is on the opposite wing, close to our common bathroom. We use dye free detergents for our bedding. The rest: We’d love to welcome you for your next trip. We provide coffee to get you started (drip or pods), toilet paper, paper towels, towels, bedding, cooking basics, soaps and detergents. We’ll soon have King Soopers just 5 minutes away, but until then we have a Sprouts market about 7 minutes away. The home is professionally cleaned between each visit. For entry, we provide a unique guest code for each guest. Location: We’re just north of the Flying Horse community, just outside the city limits, west of Highway 83. Despite our private location, you’re close to many of the great attractions Colorado Springs has to offer.
