A quiet and convenient guesthouse in the mountains

The guesthouse was built in 1934 and has been well taken care of. It still maintains its original character and charm with a few modern conveniences. Although close to busy Highway 24, it was amazingly quiet at night. Plus, it is super convenient for visits back to Colorado Springs or Garden of the Gods. There are many other hiking opportunities nearby. Ann was quick to communicate and was happy to help in any way. She also provided delicious oatmeal raisin cookies...what a bonus! I would highly recommend this guesthouse. My entire experience was outstanding! I would be happy to stay here again when I visit the area.

Peaceful stay

The Sanctuary of the Rose is definitely a sanctuary! I felt so at peace there. Though there is a fair amount of traffic noise from nearby Hwy 24 outside, it is very quiet inside. The casita is the perfect size for one or two and is beautifully appointed and decorated. I found that walking the (well-designed!) labyrinth slowly and intentionally in the evenings helped settle me and set me up for a good night's sleep. One eve it was sprinkling and I had my head down, under a hood. I heard something, looked up and a herd of seven deer had joined me in the labyrinth. They stayed with me until I finished, just shifting enough to let me walk. It was pretty moving - and magical. Ann, who is so kind and friendly, provides delicious cookies and other treats, which were very much appreciated on my hiking excursions. The only thing the casita kitchenette is missing is a sink, but I made do well enough. My only suggestion for the casita would be a light painted strip on the step from the living room up to the bedroom. When I woke up to use the bathroom the first night, I forgot the drop, and nearly took a fall into the living room. Fortunately, my balance is still pretty good and I recovered, but for others that could be dangerous. Otherwise, the sanctuary is sheer perfection. I hope to return someday!

wonderful host & beautiful cottage

It was a wonderful property. Ann is an angel & helped us out a lot. I was so altitude sick I couldn't handle it and she was super about letting us cut our visit short so I could down to a lower altitude. the homemade bread and cookies were amazing. I was just not aware that I would be so sick. I would definitely say that she is an excellent host with a very cute property. She had it decorated really cute for the holidays too

The sanctuary was incredible! Cute, comfortable, well appointed, it had everything you needed for a short stay. Plenty of local information about restaurants, activities and shopping. The host went out of her way to make our stay wonderful (the cookies were amazing), if we are in the Colorado Spings area in the future we will definitely stay here again.

This was just what we needed. A little cottage in the mountains. The host Ann was so sweet. Wants to make sure you have all you need. We were spoiled with home made bread and cookies. The house is very inviting and was bigger than I thought. You can’t go wrong stay ing here. A big plus is, it’s right in the middle of everything to do there.

Close enough, but far enough

This cozy little suite is a great spot to get away. Far enough away from the city that it's a distant thought, but close enough to hop to any activities you may want. The local food was enough to keep us fed for the weekend. While it is tucked away in a neighborhood and we shared some of the outdoor time with the sounds of others, the labyrinth and the mountain views were more than enough to set the much needed relaxing tone. Would definitely saty here again!

Amazing spot tucked in the mountains!

LOVE this place! Amazing stay in Colorado Springs- tucked up by Pikes Peak and away from hustle and bustle of the city. Stayed here for USAFA graduation and it was excellent. Host was very responsive and kind, would certainly stay again!! Lovely to sit on the porch and backyard patio and watch nature while having coffee and/or wine. Artistic and peaceful vibes, just what I needed. Bedroom overlooks labyrinth, which was so nice to meditate and walk on. It has a small kitchenette (no sink) but works fine for a few days stay with a small fridge, Keurig and microwave. Cell phone reception wasn’t the best but who cares- it was so nice to get away and relax!

Truly a Sanctuary

What a wonderful place to stay for my first visit to Colorado. We gave The Sanctuary and Ann a much deserved 5-star rating. From beginning to end, The Sanctuary was amazing. We arrived to fresh baked cookies, and started the next day with Ann's delicious fresh baked bread and jam. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure her guests are well taken care of. She provided all the amenities you will need for your stay. She takes the stress out of traveling due to her attention to every detail. The Sanctuary itself is truly comfortable and charming, from the bedding to get a good night's sleep, a comfy sofa which is a must when relaxing and a nice patio to enjoy the outdoors. We are looking forward to our 5-star vacation next year.

Perfect for CO Springs getaway

My husband and I stayed here due to the proximity of the property to a hike that we wanted to try. The property is lovely and Anne is a warm and welcoming host! It’s obvious by the personal touches and attention to detail that she wants her tenants to be comfortable and have an enjoyable stay. We would definitely stay here again. As a side note, try the Wines of Colorado restaurant located across from the community if you stay here. We ate there twice; the food was delicious and the service is super friendly. Grab a reservation as it seems to be very popular.
