Family Friendly Home

Home is very clean in a safe neighborhood. The home provided really everything you could think of which made our stay even easier. Very well located for all the attractions like Garden of the Gods, Manitou Incline, Pikes Peak, 7 Falls, Cave of the Winds, etc. Great fenced in yard for our dogs. Back yard is pretty steep, but there is a flat area in the front in case you have an old dog who cant do the steeper back yard. Very, very clean. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone.

Don’t Think Twice - Book It!

Fantastic house and fantastic host. It’s apparent from when you first step in the house the owners take pride in their home. The best appointed home we’ve ever stayed in. Cleanliness was top notch as was the location. Host was incredibly responsive. The house was perfectly located for all our activities, from white water rafting to zip lining, horseback riding, touring the Garden of the Gods, taking the Conway Railway, and even visiting the zoo. You can’t go wrong with this home! Next time we’re in Colorado Springs we’ll be staying here again without a doubt.

Relaxing and quiet

The Purple House is definitely one of my most favorite bnb's I've stayed at. Anything needed for a stay away from home was available. Rachel was amazing to work with and communication was top notch. My only suggestion to anyone considering this location is to have 4 wheel drive. We will stay again.

Wonderful home

One of the best VRBO'S we've ever stayed at. Super clean. Nicely decorated. Everything is top of the line from the pots and pans to the linens. The kitchen is very nice with every door and drawer labeled so looking for something needed was unnecessary. It has an awesome spice drawer.The back yard has three levels with great views. One level has a firepit we didn't get to use as it was too cold in the evening. The beds all seem to be memory foam except the one in the master room. The downstair bedrooms are down a step without on suite bath.The neighborhood is very quiet and lovely.Our advice: Don't pass this gem up!

Love the purple house!!

Such a fantastic stay. From booking to departure. The house was even cuter in person and all the patios were amazing for hanging out sun or rain. And the cookies were incredible- we are hoping to get the recipe. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Losey

Host profile image
After growing up in a busy metropolitan area, I set out to find a place that spoke to me and fit my life. The first time I visited Springs I was hooked, specifically the charming, funky west side. It would be another thirteen years before I got to call it home, but it drew me right back in immediately. I love the small-town feel, the incredible neighbors we get to call our friends, and the abundant access to connect with nature.

A massage therapist by trade, my profession is currently on hold as I raise an energetic little lady in my every waking hour. You’ll find us roaming trails, building forts, or-my FAVORITE-paddling any body of water we can get to.

I love people and travel, and hosting has given me the chance to experience both in a new, broader way. To share the home we love with people from all over the world is such a delight. I love to connect personally with my guests, and make it my aim to welcome you as best as I possibly can. I look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

Old Colorado City offers such a welcoming feel. From walking the tree-lined streets, to easy access for restaurants and events both downtown and in OCC, it doesn't take long to feel right at home. (Fun fact: 9 of the top 10 restaurants on yelp in Colorado Springs are within 2 miles of our home!) Convenient location with the peace and quiet of being tucked far away from the city, it's the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

We personally oversee and manage our home; no corporation or middle man. Each guest is unique to me and we strive to make every stay personal and welcoming. Every person who assists with maintaining the property is a trusted and valued friend, and we have wonderful, helpful neighbors as well. We take pride in making our home a place you’ll remember for years.
