This house is gorgeous both on the inside and out! We had an amazing stay here with a group of 18 people, and it was so wonderful that everyone had beds with their significant other! The views are beautiful and the house is very well decorated!

The house was great, kitchen was well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay there. There was a bunch of moths throughout the house which skeeved some of the guests out.

Beautiful house and amazing property! Exactly like the pictures! This place has all the comforts to make you feel at home! It truly felt like a warm retreat, and I can't recommend it highly enough! For some of our kids visiting from Florida, experiencing snow for the first time was such a thrilling adventure! If you're thinking about a trip to Colorado and need a fantastic home… look no further, because you've hit the jackpot!

What a blessing to get our entire family of 16 together for Thanksgiving in such a wonderful place. The bedroom layout made it comfortable for everyone, and the game equipment made it fun for everyone.

We couldn’t have asked for a better property! Our family traveled from all over to meet up and enjoy thanksgiving in Colorado. This place did not disappoint! The vistas are breathtaking, from rolling hills to Pikes Peak it’s beautiful in every direction! The owners were very communicative and so very accommodating. We will absolutely stay again. (Try the steam shower in the master bath!)

We hosted a micro wedding of 35 people out here. 10 of us stayed on the property. The management team was great about answering questions. We had an absolute gorgeous wedding ceremony in the back yard with the beautiful ranch in the back with mountains as well, our first looks and private vows by the pond and dinner on the upper back patio deck. It was absolutely gorgeous and perfect. Perfect space for cocktails on the lower patio and master was great for a bridal suite. The views are stunning and house is well stocked!!!

Home is beautiful. Views from home are breathtaking. We had a large family of 20 and everybody was very comfortable. Eric is a great host. Excellent communication. Home was very clean and had everything we needed. Highly recommended. Thank you Eric for sharing you home with us. We had a great time.

From the time we opened the front door to the time we left, we were amazed at how organized, clean and beautiful this home was. We had asked for some Christmas decor if possible as we were going to celebrate Christmas at the home, and to our surprise they went above and beyond to provide us with the most beautiful Christmas decor, including a Christmas tree. The kids were so excited as we were. Thank you so much for making this a beautiful stay. I'm sorry, thought I had already written a review till I got this today.

Property not well maintained. Mice problems, we caught at least 4 and owner new of mice in the past. He accused us of lying when we told him we found a box with mice traps in the house. Oven went out on us, as no fault of our own. Owner never contacted us about any kind of work around for this. This was the two main issues of several not listed. The owner refused to give us any compensation on any of these major issues.

The house was spacious inside and out, with lots of privacy on the property. The pool table, shuffleboard, and Skee-ball were big hits with our group. The owner responded quickly to my texts. Overall, it was fine. Our group was able to enjoy being together. However, the experience lacked the kind of details that separate ordinary hosts from impressive hosts. A few examples: there were very few trash cans in the house, no tissue boxes, dog hair on the bedspread, and laundry in the dryer when we arrived. We were plagued with flies from the very start, indicating that they were already in the house before we got there. The biggest disappointment was that none of us could get on the Wifi. I texted the owner, and he responded that the Wifi was down and wouldn't be up until the afternoon before we left. Had he notified us beforehand, maybe we could've planned some kind of workaround, but since we didn't find out until we asked, we were just dead in the water. We couldn't do many of the things we needed and wanted to do. I was surprised and disappointed that we were not offered any kind of credit back due to this significant deviation from the listing.

The pictures don’t do it justice, the property is so much more beautiful in person. It’s huge so everyone had their own space and the owners are incredibly nice and responsive. We asked if they had any salt for the walkways and they were there within the hour with some for us. We held a small wedding there and it was perfect. We saw a whole heard of elk outside, the view is breathtaking. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you for making the weekend so special!

There were 9 adults and 4 children and the house had more than enough room. We had one full bedroom and extra beds that weren't even used. Kitchen was a nice set up for large meal times. House was clean and well maintained. Out of the city hustle and bustle but not far from the necessities. Would return for another stay.

My six adult kids, spouses, and two grands enjoyed our stay. A gorgeous, well-appointed home that everyone appreciated. Close to shopping and just minutes from highways. This is the ranch to choose in Colorado Springs for reunions and weddings.

We rented this wonderful house to house our bridal party for the weekend of our wedding. The place was beautiful, clean and housed our bridal party quite comfortably. We had a lovely stay and absolutely recommend this rental!

The views and location of the house were amazing. Everything we wanted to do was 1 1/2 hours or less away from the house. We went to Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Boulder, Royal Gorge and more. The house was clean and was nice to have the pool table, skee ball and the hot tub, Kitchen was nice, but as some one mentioned before, it is lacking a few kitchen items…cutting boards, sharp knives, etc., but was not a big deal. The beds were super comfy and no complaints there. Only thing that I would mention is the 4th bathroom was kind of unusable. The bathroom was off of the back deck and there is a window and a door with a window that look right out to the deck. Blinds for that room would be a good investment. I would stay here again!

Wow what great views of Pikes Peak. Every morning we started our day on the vast deck overlooking the expansive view of Pikes Peak. Every evening the kids took advantage of the pool table. Shuffle board and board games while the adults took turns using the massage chair. If you need to disengage from the fast pace of life, this is the place to do it. Very comfortable beds, and plenty of room to relax. The large acreage allows for evening walks to enjoy the sunsets.

We loved the house and grounds. The pond was a plus as was the hot tub and skeet ball and pool table. The house was beautiful and well appointed. We could have used more kitchen stuff though.

We had a lovely stay here. We had a large group of family- 17 of us. The cousins aged 10-16 (and let's be honest, most of the adults too) had a fabulous time playing pool, shuffleboard, and skee ball. The hot tub was so great, the kitchen and eating areas were perfect for our group. So many people could fit on the couch!! We loved it. Eric was promptly responsive with all my questions before the trip, and helpful from the start when I was trying to decide if the house worked for my Dad with his mobility needs. It was really easy for him to get around with his walker and worked well for him to be on the main level the whole time. And when there was an issue with the stove after check-in, he came to the property right away to fix it. He made the whole experience easy and stress free. Highly recommend.
