Good home base for local activities

We rented this property while we were in town for our daughter's college graduation. It suited us well as our home base. Very comfortable, everything is as it says in the listing. Great location for UCCS.

Great stay

Everything was nice. Home is lovely and well appointed. The only complaint was the yard service showed up at 8:30a on Sunday. We had planned to sit outside on the beautiful patio one last time. We would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable, spacious, updated home.

The home is in a quiet residential area 20 minutes or less to many of Colorado Springs attractions. Even though there is no mountain view from inside the home, there is a view from the neighborhood. The home is large enough to host a large family gathering and includes a very nice semi covered deck that easily accommodates 12. The owner Ann is very responsive and wants to assure that you are happy in the home. Thank you Ann for a very nice stay.

Son's Spring break stay

The house was well-sized, stayed with 3 other parents. Great communication with the owner. Pros-- Great Space to relax, Great Deck! GREAT Communication with the owners!! Cons-- Only had 3 coffee cups. Previous renters were not the best residents. That caused a few issues, but the owners quickly acknowledged and resolved them. We would stay/book and again.

CO Springs Retreat

The property was just as advertised. While there were only 6 of us, it could easily accommodate 10 adults comfortably. Most VRBOs I have stayed in have minimal kitchen tools and gadgets, not this property. we were able to prepare dinner without wanting for anything we normally have at home. We spent a lot of time on the deck, the deck and back yard were awesome, and peaceful. We did not need anything specifically, but communication was excellent and very responsive. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Would definitely recommend and return to this property. Thank you!

Great place

We had 7 adults and 2 kids when we stayed here. The place is exactly as described. We didn't have access to the garage like we thought we would but it wasn't really an issue (until the hail storm happened!). The yard left a little to be desired for the kids to play in it but we weren't at the house all that often so it wasn't really an issue either. The master bedroom bed is super comfortable. The queen bed in the basement is very noisy every time you roll over and not very comfortable. All in all, I would definitely stay there again.

Very tired, but clean

The property was clean but overall felt very tired and in need of updates. Most of the dishes were chipped, the carpeting was quite worn, and the rug in the living room was a tripping hazard. Several fixtures like light fittings and toilet paper holders appeared to have been replaced without patching the surrounding drywall, which gave the home an unfinished look. The yard was extremely overgrown, and the patio furniture was old and torn. Additionally, the layout of the house was a bit unusual and not particularly functional. While it served our basic needs, the overall condition and presentation left a lot to be desired. I would not stay here again.

Fantastic Weekend!!!

We were in town from Texas for a Chive Charities meetup. The location was perfect for getting around town for shopping and sightseeing, and for some unique libations (Lebowski’s Taproom). We cooked supper and breakfast on 2 separate occasions, and had plenty of supplies to do so. The rooms were perfect, and had we had kiddos with us, would have been very entertaining for them having the games in the house, (even us old guys enjoyed the arcade game)!!!

We stayed here with our family and there was 7 of us. The place had plenty of space that we could spread out or gather together. It had plenty of video games for my teenage son and he enjoyed playing them with his uncle. We had a very enjoyable time at this location!

Close proximity to UCCS

This property has all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay. The neighborhood was quiet. The website mentioned the views, but the homes surrounding the place blocked any views of the mountains. Otherwise, it was really relaxing.

Loved the porch And the games

This was a wonderful home to stay in. He was clean and ready to go and walked in. My husband and I enjoyed the large, quiet porch. Our kids were drawn to the video game machine- Which is probably why we were able to enjoy the porch 👍
