About This Home

172 Shady Lane

Welcome to the Way Side: a charming cottage with a love story, tucked beneath the towering pines in Palmer Lake’s historic Glen. Known as the “Honeymoon Cottage” beginning in the mid-1930s, this sweet retreat welcomed newlyweds for decades. Recently, two generations of couples returned to share memories of spending their first days of marriage here. Tears flowed as they toured the cottage, remarking that its special energy remained unchanged. You can feel it, too! The Way Side captures a simpler time—mountain getaways, fresh air, starry nights, and afternoons well-spent spent outdoors. Original doors, windows, cabinetry, and other vintage details preserve its character, while thoughtful improvements, including a metal roof, updated electrical and plumbing, new flooring, and lighting, bring modern comfort. A welcoming vestibule opens to true main-level living with a cozy living room featuring classic wainscoting, a spacious kitchen with tile floors, stainless appliances and room for an island, two bedrooms, full bath, and laundry with full-size washer and dryer. The generous enclosed, screened porch practically begs for a good book and an afternoon thunderstorm! Outside, enjoy the sounds of the nearby creek, views of Ben Lomand Mountain and Elephant Rock, mature trees perfect for a hammock, and a storage shed for your gear. Adventure begins at your doorstep! The Creekside Trail is steps away, connecting to National Forest, the reservoirs, and miles of trails. Walk to Palmer Lake for fishing, pickleball, disc golf, volleyball, and community recreation. Across the creek, an emerging eco-spa and outdoor amphitheater add to the area’s appeal. Just a block from the historic Pinecrest wedding venue, the Way Side offers intriguing short-term rental potential. Perhaps it’s time to revive the “Honeymoon Cottage”? Whether this your first home, your mountain escape, or an investment opportunity, the Way Side has a long history of love—and is ready for its next chapter!
