Fantastic stay in CO Springs

We had a fantastic stay. Plenty of parking, fenced in yard for a dog, well stocked kitchen, plenty of hot water and super comfy beds. Located a short drive from everything we wanted to see and do in CS: Manitou Spri gd Garden of the Gods and Downtown. Great neighborhood for dog walking. Around the corner from a nice park.

Exactly What We Needed

We were visiting our daughter close by and needed a place to stay while there. Rachel's space was super clean and provided for our needs. It was just my wife and I, and the space was more than spacious enough for the two of us. The king bed in the one room seemed a little firm at first, but wound up being super comfortable. The other room offered a smaller bed, but we did not use it. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking needs. We only made ourselves breakfast, but there were pots and pans and other needed things if looking to cook more. The location was close to our daughter so that was good. We arrived at night so parking down an alley was a little scary at first, but the neighborhood seemed safe and nice our next days there. There is a park close by and stores / restaurants are not very far off at all. If needing to stay in the area, I highly recommend Rachel's place.

Great Stay!

This little house was perfect for our needs. Beds were comfy, full kitchen saves money, and it is conveniently located close to outdoor activities and downtown. The big plus for us was that the yard outside the door is fully fenced which made it especially nice for our dog. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. We will be staying here again when we need to visit Colorado Springs and we highly recommend.

Cute and homey!

We adored this little property! Not a fan of the neighborhood, but I should’ve done more research prior to booking. The house could still use a spring cleaning (cobwebs in kitchen window, dusty baseboards) but overall felt clean. Beds were comfy, welcoming beverages a great touch and having a full kitchen was great. Thanks for letting us stay!

Colorado Vacation

This was a cute little guest house on the back of the owner's property. A little hard to find initially so make sure you read the host directions. The place was cute and close to all major sites. Great restaurant recommendations and activities. Our host was very friendly and helpful.

Lovely little guest house with thoughtful details

Tastefully decorated, well stocked kitchen including spices & staples. Very conveniently located if you are visiting for Garden of the Gods, Cheyenne Mtn Zoo, puke’s Peak. We are well travelled and have stayed in countless rentals and this is one of our favorites. The host also included a very helpful guide including local restaurants, things to do, breweries, shopping and emergency services, which we utilized and their recommendations were spot on. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

A hidden gem

Great tile floors. Well laid out living areas. Great kitchen. Great cupboards. Had everything you need in condiments, dishes, cleaning supplies, coffee maker, electric mixer Vertical washer dryer dishwasher comfortable beds. Well equipped bathroom. Everthing to pamper ones self, shampoos, even a bidet. It reminded me of the lofts in the So Hou area of New York. It looks somewhat unassuming on the outside. But when you see the inside "Wow"

Cute and centrally located

Clean 2br 1ba detached structure with parking a few feet away. Basic kitchen with electric burners and oven, dishwasher, and washer and dryer. Close neighbor starts up a diesel truck each morning at 7:30am, so no need for an alarm clock. Located a short drive from the garden of the gods with beautiful hiking and no parking fees. Really cute living space, well decorated and convenient to restaurants and breweries. I would definitely stay there again.

Why they chose this property

Casa de Luz y Sombra is the second home on my property. We live in the old front house, and you’ll be staying in the new southwestern gem. We wanted to open this delightful home up for visitors due to its amazing proximity to the best parts of town. The home is three blocks from a picturesque trailhead, walking distance from historic Old Colorado City, a short drive to Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs.

What makes this property unique

Casa de Luz y Sombra is unique because her location. For being in the heart of the West Side, your stay will feel rural. It’s a very quiet street, in a very safe neighborhood. Plus with your host living right on the property (but in a completely separate space), you’ll have a knowledgeable guide to help choose the absolute best experiences for you and your family (and the privacy you’ll need to enjoy yourself). The space is decorated with the utmost care providing a comfortable and clean stay. There is even a private yard for your furry friend!
