      Welcome to Parkside Chalet!

      Where retro-chic meets old-world charm. Located adjacent to Palmer Park, this home has everything you're looking for in a vacation rental. The best trails and outdoor adventures are right out the back door of this centrally located home! Be sure to pack your hiking boots and bring your bikes. Parkside Old World Chalet is the main floor of a two-story, single family home and has a large patio that faces Palmer Park. Adventurous families who love spectacular scenery and may like to hike will enjoy staying at Parkside. It’s a great spot for families to have reunions and stay when visiting family members at Colorado College, Air Force Academy, NORAD or Ft. Carson. This rustic original decor chalet features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a full size kitchen, family room with fireplace, living room and washer and dryer. The lower level is an owner's suite. George (owner) and Chloe (his pug dog sidekick and companion) may be on-site during your stay, you are welcome to interact with them or keep your privacy. The choice is aways yours.

      THE CHALET'S HISTORY

      The Chalet was designed by the owner's mother and it is his childhood family home. “His mother was inspired by a stagecoach stop built in the 1860’s in what is now Keystone Ski Area. His parents used to take him out of school to go skiing at Arapahoe Basin, and stay at The Ski Tip Lodge. Max and Edna Dercum (founders of both Arapahoe Basin and Keystone) bought the old stagecoach stop in the 1930’s and converted it into a ski lodge.”

      Several times when he was a little boy his mom would ask him to sit with her in the common room at Ski Tip Lodge. She’d point out the rough hewn logs that supported the open beam ceiling and the giant fireplace chimney reaching two stories into the sky. You will see both of those architectural features in Parkside Chalet now. His mother also drove her Dodge station wagon up to an an abandoned rancher’s cabin south of Colorado Springs and liberated the rough hewn log that now serves as a mantle above the fireplace.

      The rocks on the island with the oak tree on it in the middle of the driveway in front of Parkside Chalet got there via his mother’s gumption as well. While driving up to the construction site while building the house she saw a dump truck hauling a load of rocks from another location. “She flagged the driver down and asked if she could have some of the rocks in his truck dumped at her house.” He said "I don't think so lady. My boss wouldn't like it." She said "Here's 20 bucks. I'll show you where I want em."

      The backyard adjoins Palmer Park which is filled with spectacular sandstone rock formations. It’s a hiking and trail running destination for people from all over the Pikes Peak area. It’s also a favored training ground for the US Olympic mountain biking team.The lower level is an owner's suite.

      George's 14 year old Pug dog Chloe who is the real host of the house or should we say "Runs the roost of the house" was rescued off the streets of Bakersfield, CA — where she had been abandoned by a breeder after producing several litters. George adopted her and she became his girl. She’s his saddle partner and life companion. They roam around the western United States together and stop to hike, ski and ride mountain bikes in the deserts and mountains.

      Dreamy Adventure Retreat
      Anticipation built as our car wound it's way up the street toward the carefully designed Colorado chalet. An ornate black lamppost greeted us at the wide steps leading up to the home. Robynn with itrip provided clear instructions resulting in easy access. It was a pleasant surprise to find two open living areas with comfortable sofas and chairs. Thanks to fast WIFI, our grandson enjoyed some live video game time in the evenings. We spent time laughing, playing games, reading, and drawing in the sunlight filled 2nd living and/or dining area. One extra special spot was a 2 person table by the window with a beckoning view of higher up rock formations. Mostly we were enjoying the surrounding outdoors. Colorado Spring's Palmer Park trails can be reached by stepping off of the home's large back patio. By hiking the trails behind the home, we were treated to fresh air and views of the city, the surrounding mountains, and nature all at the same time. Before and after hiking, we utilized the spotless kitchen equipped with double ovens, a toaster oven, coffee pot, and all of the cooking/ baking tools needed. There were quite a few spices available too. I appreciated that the kitchen included a new sponge and cleaners. Just the Facts: Immaculate home, comfortable beds/pillows, views from every room, jetted tub, powerful shower, comfortable office, welcoming and thoughtful owner, top notch mgmt company. Special thanks to George & Family for your help with the snow! You're the best

      Beautiful location and home!
      This house was perfect for our mixed group of family and friends. It's located right next to the beautiful Palmer Park with direct access to the hiking trails up to bluffs with stunning views overlooking the city. The property is tucked away in at the end of a quiet little neighborhood. The house had a ton of room and so unique in it's style. It had everything we needed for our stay as well. The group of 18+ boys that were with us really enjoyed having the own space in the divided room with 3 beds. Again so much room for lounging inside and out. With a front patio with a view of the mountains and back patio looking up to the bluffs of Palmer Park. Finally the hosts had great communication and prompt responses throughout, answering questions prior to and during our stay. Thank you very much for sharing your property with us, would definitely recommend it.

      I’ve done business and vacationed in Co Springs for years - this house was very well situated in a quiet park and get very safe. Great amenities, and it really served well for a family getaway. The office is set up well to take care of things while on vacation, and the living area is good for a large family.

      Perfect Family Gathering Place
      We had our three adult children and two teenage granddaughters. The one room with the four twin beds is divided by a closet so there is some privacy between the two sides. The kitchen was well stocked. We had everything we needed to make a Thanksgiving dinner with pots pans and utensils. Trail right behind the house up the mountain was wonderful!

      This property needs some serious upgrading! There is no central air conditioning, or mini split systems. The TV is Horrible basically Netflix only, no local channels. And the windows and interior all needs replacing. We found out later that the owner lived on site in a lower unit, thou he was pleasant. The parking is very limited.
