Secluded CO retreat featuring a swim spa, hiking trail and stocked kitchen!

This home is nestled in the shadow of beautiful Pike's Peak on a shared 7.5 acre property with the feel of the country but walking distance to everything Woodland Park has to offer. This property Features an Adults Only Swim Spa Patio with large smart TV and coming June of 2024 we will have a Bunkhouse art studio (Seasonal, May-Septemeber) and a prayer & reading room complimentary for all guests to enjoy as part of your experience. Some art supplies are provided, but guests have the option of purchasing canvas/crafts and are invited to bring their own supplies as well. Guests may visit the neighboring horses (no feeding) while enjoying the looped hiking trail.
We are excited to announce that adult guests now have access to our brand new patio with a luxury pool / hot tub combination. This adults only space will be open year around. Shared only with the Hosts, but guests renting the home have uninterrupted priority access. Get in your workout with the swim jets or relax after a long day of hiking with the massage jets. For families with kids, we are less than two miles from Woodland Park’s Aquatic Center which offers a kiddie pool, lazy river, slide and more. This home features a wheel chair ramp and is handicap accessible. Guests are free to explore the property on the hiking trail, enjoying the chickens, cats, dog, neighboring horses and all sorts of wildlife (animals and pets are not to be fed due to special diets). There are two propane fire pits , hammock, lounger, swings, playhouse, BBQ gas grill, and patio set so you can fully take in the nature around you. Upon your arrival, you will find a complimentary welcome basket with area sites and recommendation. We have an assortment of games, puzzles, books and toys for all ages. We offer free WiFi, two smart TV’s and a DVD player in master bedroom. Guests love the fully stocked kitchen/pantry with everything you need for a Holiday meal. The master suite also features a tub and walk in shower. Base price is for 4 guests. Home can host up to 8 guests plus an infant. For larger groups in the summer we also offer a neighboring RV site with full hook ups along with black and gray dump stations. The RV spot allows for 8 additional guests with a nightly fee (Check with host for pricing and availability). Only guests renting the home have access to the swim spa. RV site may or may not be rented out during your stay with other guests on the property particularly in the summer time, however only those renting the home have access to the Adults only Swim Spa. You will certainly enjoy the country feel of this mountain retreat and yet have the convenience of being only 2 miles from downtown Woodland Park, 7 minutes drive to Charis and the North Pole, 15 min. to Garden of the Gods, 20 min. to downtown Colorado Springs, and 40 min. to the Air Force Academy. We are less than 2 miles from Woodland Park’s year round aquatic center. For ski lovers, Breckenridge is a easy hour and forty five minute drive on well maintained roads. Green Mountain falls is also close by and offers a seasonal outdoor pool.

For larger groups we have another property located just a few miles away by the golf course that sleeps 12. If both properties are booked together, host will give an additional $100 off the stay. Booking both properties allows you to Host up to 20 people and go back and forth. See the other listing at the following link:

Pleasant Stay
We had a pleasant stay at the property. I had family in the area, so our days were always packed, which means we couldn't take advantage of some of the amenities offered (like the hot-tub and some of the games), but the fact they were available was great. The house was well stocked, so we were never faced with a shortage of necessities (toilet paper, cleaning supplies, dishes, etc.), and my five year old loved the toys at the property (especially the blocks). The only items I would suggest for improvement (though these are only suggestions) is to have an umbrella or two available for guests as it did frequently rain. More light in the shower would have been nice as well, but those two items are very nitpicky and did not detract from our stay. If you want a nice and secluded property where you get access to the whole property for just you and your family, it is hard to beat this location.

Could have been better
Extra rules listed once you get there. Absolutely no privacy because the TRAILOR is right behind the owners home. Hot tub was being used when we wanted to use it. The advertisement claims guests get priority to hot tub but that was not true. No fire pits and if we wanted to use the grill we had to pay for propane. Couldn't light any candles and they have some kind of security system that notifiea them if you do. Air conditioner was locked with a security code and we only were able to adjust heat so we had a few nights where it was too warm and hard to sleep. Floors were dirty and it showed on our socks. Water had a funky smell. One night it snowed and the steps were icy. No one came to shovel or make it safe so I had to reach out to the owner to get it taken care of. It could have been an ok stay but I don't recommend staying there unless you don't care about privacy or extra rules not listed on the VRBO site. My son and my grandkids wanted to come see me but the rules that were left inside the trailer said NO ADDITIONAL GUESTS without charging per person. I am disabled and a lot of travel is hard on me. It was very unfortunate and inconvenient that I had to drive an hour to see my grandbabies when my son was very willing to come see me. All the views from the TRAILOR are of the owners property which is weird honestly. Never felt like our vacation time was private. This property is not secluded from the owners and you definitely feel like your being watched.

Was a cozy place on the owner's property! The GIGANTIC hot tub was awesome - if you go in the winter, be sure to bring some slip on shoes to walk to and from the hot tub in the snow. The property was amazingly stocked with everything you need which made it so nice not to have to buy all the little things like baggies and butter. Shopping in Minitou is the best!

Our stay was truly memorable. The resort itself is nestled in a picturesque location that offers breathtaking views. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and maintained a balance between luxury and comfort.However, there were a few areas of improvement. Wi-Fi connectivity was spotty at times. Overall, it is a great getaway for those looking to unwind and experience luxury amidst nature.

Great location and communication
The positives: owners were very kind and communicative; location and pine tree environment was nice; house was clean and well stocked. Things to improve upon: The mattresses need to be replaced especially in the two smaller bedrooms as they were bowed in the center. The hot tub needs to be set at least to 100 degrees or it’s not therapeutic. That was a big selling point for us and two of the nights it was under 100. The outside area around the house had a lot of clutter etc which visually detracted.

You just have to get away sometimes and that is what we did. The property was in a good location, easy to find, and had a simple check in process. It had a cozy ambiance and the kids loved the bunk beds. The host also had some toys in the closets for kids to play with. We would definitely stay there again on a future trip, if as a family group we get back to the area.

Great Family Stay
Our family (5 adults)really enjoyed staying at Sunshine Mountain. We had a lot of room to spread out in the house. There was plenty of room in each of the 3 bedrooms. The kitchen was very well stocked, with many extra pantry items provided for when we chose to cook a meal. We loved the setting- feeling we were away from it all, but with easy access to the highway and grocery stores. It was thrilling for us to see a black bear run across the road when we were driving back to the house. We enjoyed our stay!
