Perfect little cottage for a spring break trip

The neighborhood was nice and felt safe for a group of young adults. We loved seeing the cat roaming around and found plenty to do in the area.

Home outwest

Beautiful little cottage with lots of old west feel all around nestled in the Old North part of Colorado Springs. The garden is a quiet place to read and have morning and evening tea. The fish pond offers a point of relaxation. It’s very close to many restaurants and the square. I recommend Poor Richard’s Book Store for that special gift. I loved our time at the cottage!
