Stay was absolutely fabulous. Hosts were super friendly and helpful. Got in late and needed assistance getting in. My fault totally! Im technology challenged. And hosts were completely gracious. And helpful. Would definitely stay here again. I would totally recommend this spot. Both dog friendly and 420 friendly! What could be better.

No fire or smoke detectors

We had the experience as an earlier guest in that the cleaning fee is way too high. There is no cleaning that seems to be done before you arrive. The dishes from previous renter were still in dishwasher. It appears the cleaning is done by each renter, not the owner. The pet deposit is stated to be free in the VRBO site. When I pointed this out I was still charged a pet fee. Safety is a major concern. If we didn’t have our dogs to alert us we would have found other arrangements. We slept with windows open as no smoke or fire detectors. There are bare outlets and the license to rent is expired from several years ago. There is no railing for the basement steps and the front porch and yard lighting do not work. I just can’t say enough about how disappointing it is to see there are fellow property owners who are in this for the money only. I don’t think we were their concern, our money was. The porches were not even swept and the rugs were worn. We own rental properties and this is a shame. How can an owner sleep at night knowing that in their own yard there are lives being endangered.

Nice, clean, and centrally located

This small house was great for the wife and I, you might be able to get a few more in, but you would probably really have to like them. It was extremely close to a wide variety of the local attractions, so it made it much easier to get out and do as opposed to sit in and think about. I would definitely recommend this place for couples who are looking to get out and enjoy what Colorado Springs has to offer.

The Love Shack was a perfect little place

We had a wonderful time visiting Colorado. Stayed at the lively little place called the Love Shack. It was perfect for us. Nice little homely feeling and close to all the good stuff in the springs and manitou. Would definitely stay there again
