We had a great stay here visiting our kid at USAFA. The highlight was the beautiful garden and the opportunity to bbq and hang out in the outdoor dining area.
This home was perfect for hosting our family reunion. The kids items already there were a huge plus, and John and Jenny were extremely easy to work with. The home is on a really busy street, but it wasn’t too big of a deal. There’s also a park a few blocks away.
Overall impression was great. Historic home and we loved the decor that matched. Plenty of space for us to sit and visit inside and multiple porches and gathering areas outside. Would stay again if we have the need.
The house was really nice and certainly fit our needs for our family reunion. The yard could have used some sprucing up but we mostly used the backyard bbq area which was perfect.
John and Jenny were wonderful to work with and provided great communication and service. We would certainly recommend the house and would come back again.
This was a nice home and location for everything we wanted to do in Colorado Springs. Easy walking area as well.

Once again, this home more than met our needs for a large family in a convenient location.
With two separate living areas each on its own floor, our daughter's family had their own space and we had ours to retire to. We did not make use of the outdoor living area and hot tub due to competing activities and spring weather, but they are a wonderful addition. We plan to be back next year.

The host Jenny was amazing!
The host was great, literally the best part of the house! The house was mewe but it seems to be the theme for that area. The house is historic though. Not as clean as anticipated but the whole area seemed kind of like that. The house really has everything you need for your stay (minus food). The house definitely has the space! We had a large group of us and it didn’t feel like we were on top of each other.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay and I hope your kids did well in their tournament.
We are sorry you feel this area of town is not very clean. I feel you might have misjudged it based on the mounds of dirty snow that was piled up all over town. We had a spring blizzard days before you arrived that created a lot of heavy wet snow.
I hope you visit our city again especially in late spring or summer when all of the trees and flowers are blooming and you can see how beautiful this city is.
BTW we are not familiar with the term "mewe" that you used in your comment. (If it was a typo or auto correct I could not figure out what you meant to type)

Amazing Christmas house!
We had such a memorable stay at the home. It has so many great features, but our family enjoyed the hot tub the most. We never left the property for our whole stay. Jenny &John thanks for making our Christmas the best yet!

Loved it, great house in a great location
We stayed 6 nights and were very pleased with the whole experience. Easy location to get around town from. The driveway was a little challenging to navigate, a lower riding car may not make it in, but there’s plenty of parking on the street. The hot tub was awesome and the backyard with outdoor kitchen was a fantastic touch 10/10 would recommend

These are some of the most amazing people that have helped us in our time of need. The house is beautiful but the owners are what made our stay so great.
Thank you both for your help and hospitality!!!
