It has everything: a large PRIVATE and HEATED in-ground pool (see note below in winter) with diving board and water slide, a hot tub on the deck, a play set for the kiddos, a trampoline, and a large grassy area for playing corn hole, etc. If you're looking to just relax, you've got views of Pikes Peak from the pool seating and the deck. Indoors you can play foosball poker. Plus, with 6 bedrooms, your whole group can have their own space!

Please no raging parties, but family get togethers, holiday celebrations, etc. are welcome as long as you clear it with us first. Due to a city ordinance and fire codes there can be no more than 14 people in this home at once, for any family get together, or holiday celebration. Please talk with us about your plans in our home prior to booking. Please let us know and keep parking to the driveway and garage since we're in a cul-de-sac.

Guest Access:
You'll have full access to the entire home, including the 2 car garage and large backyard. We are located on a cul-de-sac so please be respectful of our neighbors and only park in the driveway and garage (can fit 6+ cars).

The Neighborhood:
Briargate is a newer area of the city, but old enough to still have lots of large trees. It's high enough that just driving around in the neighborhood gives you some breathtaking views. It's very family friendly and we expect you to keep your stay that way as well. :)

Getting Around:
It's generally easiest to get around Colorado Springs by car. Uber and Lyft are both readily available in our experience (getting to DIA can be slightly challenging but is possible), and a rental is always easy. The interstate is a short 5 minute drive away (exits 150 and 151).

Other Things to Note:
The pool is winterized during the freezing months. If you are staying in the winter and would like to request use of the pool, we are happy to work with you. We will need at least 48 hours notice to heat the pool, and there will be an additional nightly fee to cover the additional cost of utilities.

The pool is heated to 82 degrees when not winterized. The water slide is only available during Spring and Summer months. The hot tub is available year round!

Cell signal for some carriers in the neighborhood can be a bit spotty, but generally if you find a good spot you are fine. We do have fast wifi to help you stay connected.

We use security cameras outside (not inside!) our home covering entrances, driveway and pool/hot tub. We also use noise sensors which measure volume.

We require ID verification, terms accepted, and security deposit for all reservations.

No raging parties, but family get togethers, holiday celebrations, etc. are welcome with notice. Please let us know and keep parking to the driveway and garage since we're in a cul-de-sac.

Permit #: 0716

The property is not what you see in the photos. We found dead mice in the carport and pool, upstairs air conditioning was weak, leaving rooms hot until late at night. Master bedroom mattress was stained and gross. Kitchen was dirty, floorboards were dirty and dusty. The pool was great and the hot tub too.

Overall for the price, this rental had amazing amenities, plenty of space for our group of 12, beautiful mountain views, and was in a great location and neighborhood. Many good memories were made! We enjoyed most of our time outdoors swimming and using the diving board and slide. The hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed and the kids loved the trampoline, tether ball and swingset. Unfortunately, the yard and landscaping around the pool is very overgrown with weeds, etc unlike the pictures on website. Also, the outdoor seating is limited to about 8 chairs/lounge chairs and only one chaise layout chair. We have notified the management hoping this will be improved for future guests! Similar to the previous review, the house was not cleaned well prior to our visit. We did some cleaning ourselves (primarily floors and kitchen) and overall we felt the situation was rectified by the manager in our case. We are hopeful they will consider new cleaning services in the future as we are at least the second guest with this issue. The home is a little outdated compared to the pictures particularly in the kitchen. Would greatly benefit from some upgrades here in the future. The beds were well made, tidy and clean as were the bathrooms. The house was stocked well with soaps and toilet paper and lotion and bath amenities. We did have an issue with the hot water not working initially, but a maintenance person came and fixed it in a timely manner. For those who like a cool home in the summer months,

The pictures and past positive reviews do not reflect the true condition of this property. Make sure you read the other poor reviews as they reflect what you should expect. Most important items to note: The carpets and rugs throughout the entire house are DISGUSTING and the place feels like they rushed squatters out just before you arrived. The back yard is overgrown, the pool and hot tub are in need of a serious cleaning and repair, and the property management company is useless to address any of your concerns. Cleaning and other fees took this property to over $1,000 for our one night stay, so be sure to read the fine print. I'm waiting/watching to see if my identity has been hijacked or my credit cards will start getting charged for unauthorized purchases - that's the feeling I'm left with after dealing with this offshore run property management company. Our fun weekend away turned into frustration and dissapointment. From not being able to enter the property until an hour after check in time while we waited on the cleaner to finish, to being required to provide a second credit card since the web site had an issue, to needing to wear shoes and monitor what the 3 yr old touched out of fear for their safety, we would NOT recommend this property.

We had so much fun on our family stay to visit beautiful Colorado Springs. The house was clean, comfortable (such nice beds and sofas, great temp, etc). The amenities (like laundry soaps, shampoos, toilet paper, oils, salt, pepper, sugar and flour etc) helped make an easy short stay without having to run out for all sorts of necessary bits. The pool and hot tub were easy to use and SO much fun for all!! We made use of the pool each day and the game room each night with the kids. Perfect location, 5 min from shops and restaurants and 20 min from the Garden of the Gods and Old Colorado City. Owners got in touch regularly to make sure all was well. Will stay again if we make it out that way again in the future (fingers crossed, we loved it!).

The property was just as described! We did have a problem opening the pool cover and had a panic attack since that was a huge reason for this rental; but, Ryan got his maintenance person, Shawn, out there right away and saved the day. We truly appreciated the quick response. Our family really enjoyed our stay.

While we were initially excited about our vacation, we encountered several issues during our stay that left us very dissatisfied with the property. The property did not match the description provided in the listing. The amenities listed, such as a functional pool and a well-maintained trampoline, were not as advertised. The pool was unusable for most of our stay due to maintenance issues, and the trampoline appeared to be held together with duct tape, which raised safety concerns for our family. Upon our arrival, we were disappointed to discover that there was no hand soap provided in the property. It's common for guests to expect basic amenities like hand soap to be available, and having to supply our own was an inconvenience. Even more concerning, during our stay, we encountered a disturbing situation where we found a used condom in the top of one of the closets. This was not only unhygienic but also highly inappropriate, and it made us question the overall cleanliness and upkeep of the property. The linen closet was in disarray, with wet towels balled up and left in an unclean condition. This lack of attention to cleanliness and proper housekeeping made our stay even more unpleasant. Given the issues, we feel that our experience at the property did not meet the expected standards for a VRBO rental. All of these concerns were sent to the managing company and asked for a partial refund. Their response was a hard 'no' and there was no apology.

Overall we had an amazing time. House is spacious and we spent 90% of our time out at the pool. So nice to have a private place to chill as adults and not have to worry about a ton of kids splashing around. Grill was great, hot tub was awesome. Will definitely go back. Inconveniences: House could use some updates, for the price you pay. Online it looks way more upgraded than it is . There is no ice maker so we had to leave to run for ice. The waterslide was not working but we still had fun and were able to use it without the water running. The yard could definitely use some love, had not been mowed and did not look like the online photos. But again, we did not have kids and just hung in the pool and hot tub, so it was fine for us. Kitchen could use some better stocking. As other reviews said, one mixing bowl, not many pans..No broiler pan. It was hard to prepare a good breakfast for everyone but we made it work. Management/host were responsive and wonderful. Overall, Great Stay and Great Host. .

The house had plenty of space for all three families to spread out. We have 12 people staying here and we were never bored. The pool was a huge draw for the kids, and it was great they could go out when ever needed. The trampoline and play area were great alternatives! We did have several minor issues while staying, but most were handled by the property manager. Some were fixed by my relatives staying there. The garbage and recycling were completely full (seven garbage and two recycle) upon arrival. Tuesday was garbage day, but it wasn't picked up. After the manager called, only the garbage was picked up. The lawn had not been mowed, and the grass was two feet tall. I brought my lawn tools from home to clear a path to the trampoline and play area. The weed were too great in the tether ball field. The lawn was mowed halfway thru our stay, but with the pool cover broken, the grass went into the pool. The Hot Tub definitely needed a cleaning. According to the house directions, the pool cleaners would come once a week, but we did not see them. The pool cover broke half way thru the stay. We could still use the pool, but it wasn't as warm or as clean. The kids did like using the pool net to clean the pools. Overall, we did have a great time, but I was slightly disappointed by the initial check in. We would stay again!
