We enjoyed staying in the cottage. The location close to our favorite spots (Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, Cave of the Winds, etc) was perfect. Having the Safeway very near was super helpful. We would love to stay again if we have the opportunity.

Cute little cottage

Perfect spot for 3 adults traveling from out of town. So happy we found this place and the owner is awesome. Random cat came and said hi. Was able to enjoy the coi pond with fish in it. Everything was very nice. Kitchen and living room was nice to have.

Great older house with charm

House is older but is comfortably furnished, nicely decorated, and well maintained. Great for a couple or a small family. The patio is wonderful and the fish pond is a nice touch. Highly recommend this spot in the Old North End Neighborhood.

CO Springs - Spring Break

Communication with Lazlo was wonderful. He also provided clear directions on where to park, how to find the house and how to find things within the house as well. Very comfy home, bed and space upstairs for our teenager to have to himself. The house is also in a quiet, lovely neighborhood near Colorado College, grocery store and easy to get to and from downtown, Garden of the Gods and other fun hiking spots. If we go back to CO Springs I would definitely stay there again.

Clean & Convenient Location

Charming little cottage. Very clean and cozy. Easy access to OTC (Olympic Training Center), downtown, dining and Hwy 25. Owner resides in house at the front of the property, but still feels very private. Would definitely stay here again next time I’m in Colorado Springs.

Cute Bungalow in Old North End Neighborhood

The cute little 2 Bedroom house was perfect for us for a short business trip. It's located conveniently to almost everything including the performing arts center and good restaurants and coffee houses. You will love it if you especially like very firm mattresses. The 3 beds in the attic room are enough space for a couple to come who has three kids. The deck and yard would be nice to enjoy in the summer. We were allowed a late checkout which helped with our plans. We loved the stay.

Old Town Neighborhood Beauty

Our three night stay in Colorado Springs was fantastic. Everything that was advertised in the listing was spot on. It was close to downtown & also the mountains. All the homes in this area are beautiful charming homes from the early 1930’s. Just driving through the streets you get the feeling of people who are proud of their home. This also transfers over to this home. The decor is impressive. The sun porch is a very nice touch. The backyard detail with the pond and koi fish was an added touch. Plus the yellow irises were blooming during our stay. This home does not lack anything. If you reserve it, you too will be pleased. A+ rating.
