Chalet in Central Colorado Springs Location, 3 BR, 2 BA, Views, WiFi

Welcome to Parkside Chalet



Where retro-chic meets old-world charm. Nestled directly beside Palmer Park, Parkside Chalet offers immediate access to some of Colorado Springs’ best hiking, biking, and outdoor recreation—right out the back door. This centrally located retreat is ideal for families and groups seeking scenic trails, local attractions, and a memorable Colorado stay.



Parkside Chalet occupies the main floor of a two-story single-family home and features a large patio facing Palmer Park. The lower level is a private owner’s suite and may be occupied during your stay; there are no shared interior spaces, and guest privacy is fully respected.



The Chalet’s History



Parkside Chalet is the owner’s childhood family home, thoughtfully designed by his mother and inspired by a historic 1860s stagecoach stop that later became the Ski Tip Lodge near today’s Keystone Ski Area. Architectural elements such as exposed rough-hewn logs, open beams, and a prominent stone fireplace reflect that inspiration.



Many of the home’s features—including the fireplace mantle and native stone accents—were personally sourced during construction, giving the chalet its distinctive rustic character. The backyard opens directly onto Palmer Park, known for its dramatic sandstone formations and extensive trail system, popular with hikers, trail runners, and mountain bikers—including elite athletes training in the Pikes Peak region.



The Space



Parkside Chalet is well-suited for family gatherings, outdoor enthusiasts, and visitors to Colorado College, the Air Force Academy, NORAD, or Fort Carson.
