Very good

This house was roomy and comfortable for our large family. The check-in process was easy. The provided supplies, bedding, dishes, and cookware were more than adequate for our stay. We were very happy to relax here after a long drive. There is a foosball table and games downstairs. The view out the front is amazing. Exceeded our expectations and we would definitely stay here again.
To be honest, this property is in need of some serious attention by the owners. All of the mattresses are quite painful to sleep in, there were no linens for the pull out beds (two of them were broken and unusable), the property is not stocked at all, which made cooking a challenge. The banister was loose and a door handle fell off, trapping a member of the family in the bedroom. The door handle of the shower fell off. There was a toothbrush in one of the couches. The check in process was easy, they communicated promptly, the view in the front of the house is beautiful and the dinning room table fit all 18 of us, making games and meals a great experience. We were required to take the trash out (which is fine), but the trash to take to the curb was not our trash. We had to use 6 people to take out their over flowing recycling bins and trash cans. (That was really gross as most of the trash bags weren’t sealed). Everything about this property is dated and honestly, a little gross (stained furniture, flat pillows, creaky beds, mattresses 3 inches thick, towels thread worn). The pans are old and beat up, the microwave didn’t work and the stove indicators are worn off, making cooking something a guessing game. If you are going to rent this property, bring everything you could possibly need. Plates, utensils, pots/pans, blankets, dishwasher soap, and towels. It was fine for what we needed but unfortunately, we would not book this location again.
This is such a great place for big groups! Very quiet and nice neighborhood. Best place to sit on the porch drink coffee and watch the sunrise or sunset! Great view of the mountains! Highly recommend!!

Disappointing
Beware - This home suffers significantly from neglect of routine property maintenance. Photos and notes of concerning property conditions observed during our recent stay are available for online review as an MS Word document at https://1drv.ms/w/s!AjoR5EH1fYpkgYZAE6N2IUuXIETOfw.
While the host advises he is working on getting a quote to address these issues, I am doubtful he will. A number of the concerns I have noted are unchanged from prior guest comments.
I would not recommend a future stay unless the host shows reasonable evidence that significant corrections have been completed.
Given the poor conditions noted during our stay, I would recommend a 20% refund of cost as a reasonable gesture of good will. However, the host has not made any offer of a partial refund.
Beautiful perfect size home for my Daughter's Wedding❣️
Host was very easy to communicate with as well.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home❣️❣️

Could be so much more
The place is in a great location, with great views. 2 Mornings we woke up to them lifting off hot air balloons right in front of the house. parking, if multiple vehicles, is a little tricky.
The house itself is in need of a complete renovation. There is something broken in every room and every bathroom. railings loose, walls have patches, furniture is all stained. The master bed was comfortable but I was told by other members of my party that the other beds were very uncomfortable. Multiple pull out couch's were great, the mattresses in those couch's were not and not enough pillows/blankets for the amount of beds/sofas advertised. Good size dining room table, nice kitchen. was worried about a previous review about the steps to the house and the A/C not working. A/C worked fine and the steps to the house weren't as bad as others sad. The host had great communication, but I just felt the listing could have better than what it is.
In the end it was what my party and I needed for the weekend, but this place could be so, so much more. I wouldn't necessarily say I wouldn't stay here again, but I'd look around before booking again.

Needs Maintenance
The size of the house was perfect! We used all 5 bedrooms. The house is in desperate need of a top to bottom cleaning and updating. The carpet and furniture where extremely dirty, smelly and stained. The backyard was full of weeds and broken furniture so we weren’t able to use it. The front porch was very nice!

So disappointed how the propery is being maintained
We enjoyed the kitchen and dinning area. It was very central to all our activities. The sleeping arangement worked out for our family. The cleanliness of the property was terrible. Carpets furniture and grill's cleanliness was upsetting and
filthy. It took my son at least an hour to clean the grill, plus there was no propane. The walls need to be washed or painted. The front steps were dangerous. It is just pooly maintained.

Could have been a great place…
The location is great with a wonderful view, and the neighborhood is new and walkable (not much else around but houses). Locations is somewhat central.
The building seemed pretty good, with nice decor, until we looked closer:
Watch out on the front steps: they’re tilted; another user commented on this before.
The front door “knob” doesn’t actuate all the way, so if you’re not suspecting it, you think the deadbolt is still engaged.
The dishwasher was heavily damaged, with missing wheels, stoppers, broken heating element, and dishes inside were dirty. The sump was full of dirty water, and we tried running a load 2 times, and had to manually rinse at the end anyways. We washed by hand.
Many light fixtures don’t light up.
Some air conditioning vents falling out and first floor air conditioner blower not blowing cold air.
Back yard full of weeds.
For the accessories:
Dining chairs all damaged, some structurally.
Multiple beds, chairs, and mattresses were damaged. My daughter had a spring in her back one night.
Shower curtain liner could use a refresh.
High chair for the baby wouldn’t stay up fully.
Pots and pans could use refreshing.
We left pretty detailed notes for the owner, but it seemed like the messages in VRBO and the phone number owner are different people or didn’t link the comments together. I apologize for sending texts to the owner later at night, but responses were slow and no action, though some service refused as we didn’t want people coming in while we’re out

Not well taken care of
The house is nice and big. There was something broken in each room. One of the double beds was very loud so we had to take the mattress off the bed to sleep. Not all the plug-ins worked. The first night the AC worked great throughout the house. The second night it stopped working upstairs and when I talked to the owner he told me the place did not have AC so we would have to open windows. One of the windows had no screen. The kitchen had broken cupboards, a stove that smoked, and pots and pans that were scratched and old. We were told to not wear shoes on the white carpet and to be careful of the white furniture. Carpet and furniture was cream and all stained. The chairs for the big table had some that were broken or about ready to break. There were cobwebs in different places. The front door box with key was hard to open and than when you did get the key out the door was hard to unlock. The house has great potential to be a nice place to stay but maintenance has not been done.
STEER CLEAR OF THIS LISTING IF YOU WANT AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE
When we arrived, immediately we noticed the disrepair and uncleanliness of the house. The front steps are very dangerous, in fact my 75 year old mother fell on them later in our stay. There was open, used food left in the front room and kitchen. Many of the blinds were not in working order, ice maker and multiple lights don’t work, stained and dirty carpet, floors and furniture (as well as several pieces of furniture were broken), bare minimum guest towels (and they were stained and old), mold in the showers and shower curtains, primary shower door doesn’t shut, very little toilet paper left on the dispensers (we bought our own) and no extra anywhere in the house, no extra garbage bags left (eventually some were delivered), a chirping low battery smoke detector (we had to buy a replacement battery), no extra key to use during our visit (as per the house rules), backdoor was unlocked and wide open, and upstairs was 80 degrees (which we later figured out was because the AC had frozen up before we arrived and we had to deal with repairs during our visit). Unfortunately, when we contacted the rental contact about the AC we had to contact VRBO to get a response. When we were finally contacted back, the contact didn’t even know where we were and that the house has AC, despite the fact that we had already contacted him about MANY other things. When stripping the beds we saw just how old & stained the mattresses were, besides being uncomfortable.
We were in town for a wedding; Dustin’s house was nearly perfect for all 13 of us! Tons of room, plenty of bathrooms, close-ish to everything. Not necessarily a perfect house if someone in your party needs to avoid stairs, though, as the bedrooms are up- or downstairs… and the steps up to the front porch are steep, slanted, and (currently) without a handrail, though after telling Dustin about it, he told me he’s considering how to address it. :)
This home truly has an amazing view of Pike’s Peak and the mountains to the west. Highly recommend if you’re coming to town with a large party.
Great big house for our group. Everything was clean and the hosts provided plenty of towels which was awesome!
Great location too! We'll definitely be back!
We spent 2 nights at this home. The open space downstairs was nice to host a dinner in. The upstairs TV room was very comfortable. Bathrooms were very clean. Overall, it was a nice stay that was exactly what we needed. As others have noted, there is some wear and tear, but we thought it was all within reason, nothing terrible and east to overlook. We would love to stay here again.
We had lot of family fun in this property. Late night laughs and talks around the dining tables. Kids had a blast while getting to know each other better. Views were so breathtaking 😱 And it was the perfect location. The host Dustin was very nice and replied quickly to all my questions.
Dustin did a great job welcoming us, helping us during our stay. The neighborhood is lovely and the views from the living room are beautiful. Good stay.
