Guests describe the evening atmosphere as "magical," especially when enjoyed around the fire ring or from the private hot tub. This fully renovated guesthouse features a new 55” 4K Roku Smart TV equipped with a premium streaming suite (HBO Max, Peacock, Paramount+, among others) for a cinematic night in after hiking or enjoying the Garden of the Gods.

There are airport shuttles (Groome & SuperShuttle) available to and from both the Colorado Springs and the Denver airports. There are vans (Rocky Mtn Ride) that regularly transport to ski resorts, and a Casino Shuttle Bus that goes to Cripple Creek (the mountain gambling town). When this property was built in 1899, the main building included a dance floor on the second level. Nikola Tesla attended parties and dances here, and some guests have suggested his presence can be felt late-at-night in the yard.
