New Offers for Zeb’s Cabin

Cascade Escapes is excited to offer some new and exciting things in 2021! As a long-time getaway in Colorado, we have been a tried-and-true vacation haven for many throughout the years. Our cabin rentals offer quaint, comfortable and private lodging for couples, families, small friend groups, and more. We were lucky enough in this wild year to have seen a lot of growth, which we attribute to being the perfect COVID-friendly vacation option for you and your family!

Because of the new normal, we decided to offer more to our cabin campers. We understand that planning a vacation in COVID times can be extra stressful, and a cabin getaway is meant for relaxation more than anything. I think it’s safe to say that none of us expected this pandemic to go on for as long as it has, and as experienced innkeepers with twenty years in the industry, our heart goes out to our cabin family.

The people we meet while staying in our cabins make our company what it is–and we love getting to know our visitors from all the world. We truly care about all of our Cascade Escapes visitors. Every single person who we have the honor of hosting touches us in a new way, teaches us something new, lets us see a new life we wouldn’t have known without meeting them.

A Special Gift for Families

Book your cabin vacation in scenic Colorado for vacation 2021 now!

Our guests have given us so much over the years, so we’re excited to give back with a few special offers made for you, from us.

One of those new special offers involves learning. Because, of course, learning at home is one of those strange “new normals” that we’re all adjusting to on the daily. Whether you’re a seasoned homeschooler or you’ve been thrown into the e-learning arena, we know it’s an ongoing challenge to find a work-life-school balance.

Fitting a vacation into all of that seems impossible. But it doesn’t have to be! A break is long overdue, and that’s why we’re offering something to help make it happen.

If you book your cabin vacation with us in February, you’ll have access to our own Educational Explorer Kit. This little kit comes packed with information about Colorado’s history and the famous namesake of Pikes Peak, Zebulon Pike. The educational kit includes exciting locations and information to discover and explore with landmark history and other fun facts to learn about Colorado Springs.

The Educational Explorer Cabin Rental Package

We’ll include a box filled with educational fun so you can plan your vacation and learning adventure all at once. It’s a humble offering to all the parents combining home, office, and school under some difficult circumstances. Cascade Escapes is family-owned and operated, so we know a thing or two about all the hard work it takes!

This is one of the many reasons why we’re so invested in offering family friendly vacations that are incredibly memorable and special. Cancel out all those stressful memories that clouded up the year of 2020, and get 2021 going in the right direction.

The Cabin Vacation: Reinvented

Now, while we don’t know when this new normal will end, e-learning or some variation is becoming a bigger and more permanent part of our lives. For that reason, we see a lot of families reinventing the way they vacation. Our Educational Explorer Packet will definitely make your cabin vacation more memorable, with activities and ideas for adventure built right in.

Let us make your vacation planning a bit easier from start to finish, and come check out all the amazing area attractions in Colorado Springs. You’ll find so much to do from the Cave of the Winds to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and you’ll find yourself happy to curl up for a good night’s sleep in the cozy cabin before morning calls. And when morning calls, be sure to check out some of Colorado’s best for breakfast!

Our family friendly cabin vacation rental is located just minutes from historic Colorado Springs, CO and the Manitou Cliff Dwellings, as well as numerous other educational and historic landmarks. Whether your kiddo is learning Colorado history or you’re just looking for a way to supplement their education in general, there’s no shortage of history, education, and entertainment in our area.

Zeb’s Cabin

Zeb’s Cabin, located minutes from downtown Colorado Springs, is named after Zebulon Pike himself. Zebulon Pike was a U.S. Army officer who led the expedition in search of the Mississippi River source in 1805. His instructions were to find the headwaters of the Arkansas and Red rivers and investigate Spanish settlements in New Mexico.

Zebulon Pike’s interesting history is often overshadowed by the expeditions of Lewis and Clark. However, Zeb’s explorations and exciting life are an interesting dip into history for kids and history lovers of all ages. If you book with us in February, you’ll receive a free Educational Explorer’s Kit. The kit comes with all the things you’ll need to complete your learning adventure in our neck of the woods. We especially love the exciting adventures of Zebulon Pike and all his adventures! From mountain climbing to pioneering new discoveries, his story will amaze people of all ages. Zeb is a unique character in American history that kids love to learn about–especially when walking the very grounds he pioneered with exploration.

Our cabin vacation rentals really strive to deliver a unique experience, and we hope our February offer will have your family excited to learn and explore. Let us know about this blog post when you book, and mention EXPLORER to get your Educational Explorer Kit upon check-in at our Colorado cabin!

 


 

The leaves are changing, and the mornings are crisp and chilly–it’s perhaps the most wonderful time of the year! By midday, temps are usually comfortable and pleasant and perfect weather for a tranquil walk or invigorating hike.  Maybe fall has inspired you to head for the hills and extend your camping season over fall break. We know everyone’s tired of the daily grind and wanting an amazing but easy getaway–which is why glamping with Cascade Escape’s Colorado cabin properties is the perfect solution.

Cascade Escapes is a niche vacationer’s dream: this family-owned vacation rental in Cascade, CO is the quintessential escape from everything. Choose from two perfectly situated options: the family-friendly Zeb’s Cabin, or the quaint and cozy Ramona’s Cottage. We invite you to explore the area and breathe in the fresh fall air with a scenic Colorado backdrop.

Family-Owned Colorado Cabins

Ramona’s Cottage is a romantic hideaway, and nearby Zeb’s Cabin is the perfect family vacation rental for a beautiful fall weekend getaway.

We invite you to come visit either Ramona’s Cottage or Zeb’s Cabin, depending on what you envision for your weekend. Are you planning a couple’s retreat, or looking to celebrate an anniversary? Or, maybe you’re hoping to get back to the basics of being a couple without kids for 72-hours? We suggest Ramona Cottage and all its quaint, cozy charm. With a beautiful view and private, out of the way location, this is the perfect place to rekindle for two.

Zeb’s Cabin

Zeb’s Cabin is a family memory in Cascade, Colorado waiting to happen. You might be dreading the days of a long Fall Break after a long summer of everyone being home, bored, and fussing to be free. Book a weekend at Zeb’s Cabin and change up your scenery. Our scenery is some of the best you could dream up.

Let your life slow down and take a comfortable hiatus with dedicated time to reconnect and revive your relationship.

A DIY Retreat in a Colorado Cabin

Another perfect thing about fall is its call to be still and listen to the changes around you. As the crops slow down, the temperatures drop, people fall into the holiday hum of football season, family gatherings, and Halloween/Holiday/Christmas planning—we forget to be true to our creative spirit. We sacrifice quiet time or our cherished friendships. If you’re looking for a weekend dedicated to creative fun—why not book our Colorado cabin for something entirely unique and original? Gather your group of girlfriends and come with your supplies to craft for your home and holidays. Or even bring extended family: it can’t be confirmed, but we heard that decorating Grandma’s cookies is even more magical in a beautiful mountain town, nestled in a rustic cabin.

Let’s Go Glamping!

There is no right or wrong way to go glamping, and there is no singular reason to pack up and head for the hills. We offer a fun and original camping option that is customized to fit your weekend vacation goals. We offer sweet add-on options like the Vintage Picnic because it’s a personalized touch that can make the weekend go from absolutely wonderful to above-and-beyond perfect.

Find Your Perfect Colorado Cabin Vacation
