Family Reunion/Vacation

My husband and I came from IN and my brother & his friend from Florida to visit our Aunt and Cousin who moved to CO 50 yrs ago. This home was perfect for our stay! It is a lovely place, and our host provided such special perks. Everything we needed, including fans in the closets. I fell in love with the makeup remover clothes! Everything was great and when we visit the area again, I hope this home will be available so we can stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality!A place to stay and so convenient to everything we wanted to see.

Anniversary Trip

Wonderful cottage, very clean and nice. Well located to Garden of the Gods. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host does an excellent job with all the amenities, even wine for a nominal donation. Highly recommend. The only thing that was a little surprise was the smell of the horse stable when we arrived and periodically during our stay. Would recommend and would love to stay again!
