About this property

Stay just blocks from Downtown Colorado Springs in this newly remodeled hideaway. Plenty of restaurants, breweries, bars, all within walking distance OR hop on the cruiser bikes and travel all over the city. Perfect for a couple, or small family. Couch can fold out into a Queen so would work for 4 adults but would be tight. The house is over 100 years old so access stairway is narrow and steep. Owners are Colorado Springs locals and live close by. This is a multi unit house so there are other units and tenants, the space is private with it's own bathroom, kitchen and bedroom.

Great Stay!

The Grotto was super convenient to walking to the arena at Colorado College where we were watching a sports event and also to the shops/restaurants downtown. Lovely place, very clean, and everything we could have possibly needed was provided!

St. Vrain Grotto

My husband and I were in Colorado Springs for a wedding and decided to extend our trip. We found this place to spend an additional 5 days in the area. Super cute and is everything as advertised and even more. Had everything you can think of. An oversight on my part was that it did not have air-conditioning; however, I found a fan which was super helpful. The place stays fairly cool since it is in the basement. Close to downtown and within walking distance to restaurants and breweries. We had a dedicated parking space which was great even though there was plenty of on-street parking. The house is shared with other tenants so you will hear movement from above, whether it be footsteps, movement through the plumbing pipes, which are exposed overhead in the basement, or the use of the laundry facilities that are right outside of the bedroom door. I did meet two of the tenants and they were super nice. The only downside we did have were some internet connectivity issues for the smart TV several times during our stay. The owner did a great job on the layout and decorating of the place and is a perfect space for a couple. I would stay here again.

St. Vrain Grotto

Super cute place in a great location close to downtown. The only thing I would say in a negative light, would be that the hide-a-bed does not sleep 2, does not actually have a mattress, and is not comfortable. But other than that it was enjoyable and stocked and within walking distance of many stores, churches, and the YMCA!

About the host

Your host

We are Colorado Springs natives, we live just a mile away and have watched Colorado Springs grow into such a fun town but still keep the small town feel. We love to travel and have taken what we would want out of a vacation property and turned this space into a little hideaway close to the action.
