Exceptionally clean and comfortable stay for a week in Colorado Springs. It was rainy, so we ended spending a fair amount of time inside waiting for breaks in the weather for hikes. Kitchen was well stocked and host was very responsive. I would definitely recommend!

Perfect secluded place for our weekend visit to Colorado Springs. House had everything we needed, and was cozy and comfortable. We did not want to leave. The scenic views were amazing and so close to Garden of the Gods and Manitou. Directions and instructions were clear and simple. We are definitely staying here again.

Couldn't be happier with our stay at this property...it was secluded and quiet yet VERY conveniently located to major attractions. It was beautifully appointed, super clean, and management was very responsive to questions. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the patio, sipping coffee in the mornings and enjoying the peace and quiet. Unfortunately the only photo I got of the property is a pic that my husband took of a bird that was perched on a bird statue on the patio, we thought that was kinda cute :) Can't go wrong with this property!
