Annual Family Vacation

Our stay at Grand Lodge was wonderful! There was plenty of room for all of us we loved the large, beautiful kitchen where we prepared and enjoyed our breakfasts and dinners. The large deck and hot tub were a great gathering spot as well. We lived the quiet setting in the pines but were close enough for trips into the activities and attractions in Colorado Springs. Great place to stay!

family vacation

We had a great time on our vacation. The kitchen was big and had just about everything you needed but you had to find it first. The house definitely needs to be updated (furniture, appliances and outside) and cleaned completely. Casey was very prompt with cleaning the hot tub and fixing the plumbing issue.

The Home We Needed

Our travel to the area included 3 adult siblings and their families, The space was the perfect fit for all 15 of us. We enjoyed meals at the large table and also on the deck. Having the basketball goal too provided many hours of entertainment. Plenty of parking for 4-5 cars that our family had at the location. Great stove and oven for all the family meals.Host was very responsive to text for necessary questions during the trip.Bear locking trash cans also exist at location. We would recommend and would also stay again at this location. We were able to observe deer throughout the days & evenings and even saw a black bear one evening.

Honest review

We had a great trip despite the fact we were disappointed in the house. The second king “bedroom” is an open loft with no way to block out light or sound, so is basically unusable. There were also many areas that just weren’t clean, which is not what you expect when paying these prices. A sewer gas smell kept us from using the back deck a couple of nights and over half of the property was not accessible due to locked gates. On the positive side, the kitchen is gorgeous and well stocked, the grandkids loved the hot tub and used it everyday and Casey was quick to respond to a plumbing issue and any questions we had.

Large and easily accommodate 15

The Good: Impressive entry way. Excellent Kitchen and large table that could seat 12. Host quickly responded (for example the TV in the master did not work and the host replaced it on the same day we reported). Plenty of towels and linens! Location is nice and quiet and just a few minutes from the City. The not so good: Downstairs Living Room was unfinished (dry wall only on 1 wall). There were annoying, unattractive "gates" to keep kids/pets enclosed in different sections of the house. There was 1 hair dryer for the entire house (ok, but would be good to know that you need to pack one). The back yard near the house has piles of rock and tiles. Cleaning could be better - i.e. fireplace covered in dust/ash. There is no "forced air" heating or cooling.Overall it was good for our group. But for the price we paid, it did not meet our expectations.
