Great place to stay while visiting the Colorado Springs area. Lots of big bedrooms with bathrooms attached. Lovely seating areas. Great pool and hot tub!

My family of 12 could not have been happier with our choice of this beautiful Monument home. The home is exactly as pictured in the reviews. The house was spotless and beautifully maintained. The pool area was awesome
And received plenty of use. The bedrooms were very comfortable and had many upscale touches. The kitchen was the best stocked I have ever seen. They had everything. Diego was very attentive to every detail and a pleasure to work with. Response time was immediate. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a Colorado vacation. It is a very short drive to Colorado Springs and all other highlights. Thank you very much Diego!

Our family of 8 adults and 7 children (1yr to 11yr) stayed in this fabulous resort and had an incredible time. The pool is large, clean and goes from easy entry to 7 feet. The hot tub is large enough for 4 adults and clean, in fact a pool maintenance man came mid-week, The property is as described and the owner was very responsive to our communications. The movie room is fantastic and includes Comcast and several premium services. There is a DVD player and large collection of movies and there is a PS5 with one controller. The professional style popcorn maker added to the enjoyment. The 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms easily accommodated us as 5 of the children shared the bunk room. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked with a french press, a regular drip brew machine that also features a 1 cup maker and a Nespresso. Included are many coffee pods. The pantry has many spices and there is more than adequate mugs, plates and silverware. The bathrooms are stocked with bath gel and shampoos and also have hair blowers. You could easily show up with just your clothes and basic toiletries. They also supply razors and toothbrushes in the bathrooms.
The location is convenient to airports and many sigthseeing activities like Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak and the Cheyenne Mountain zoo. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate it 11.
If you are looking for a carefree, wonderful place to stay, this should be your choice!

There are numerous things available for everyone to enjoy. The rooms are spacious and the pool was large. The family enjoyed the theater room for soccer, movies and fireworks
We encountered a few issues, but the homeowner responded quickly and addressed each one. The kitchen has double ovens and two microwaves, which was really helpful. The kitchen lacked a few smaller basic items, which is probably common with various people using the space. The view and area were beautiful, but a distance from the activities that we did. We could not have been more pleased with the owner’s helpfulness!
4.9
Beautiful clean home, quiet location but close enough to all major attractions. Stayed here with 10 adults and 5 children for 4 nights. Kitchen stocked with everything we needed for cooking family meals. Movie room was huge hit with kiddos and adults! Rooms exactly as shown on website. Comfortable beds and 6 bathrooms a huge plus with our large group. Communication was excellent with our property manager Vivian. Only couple minor issues but were dealt with immediately. Would highly reccommend this property. Owners also responded quickly with our questions before our stay!

We rented this beautiful house to celebrate our 40th birthdays with four other couples. The house had everything you could imagine and more! Hot tub, movie theater, workout room, fully stocked kitchen, extra toiletries, pool table, and beautiful views. The house was immaculate and the house manager was responsive and met us as we checked in. Would recommend this house and these hosts to anyone!

Lovely home. Well appointed. Something to do for all ages: 4 thru 80. Two minor problems: 1) Second dishwasher needs repair; the door will not close. 2) The putting green surface is well past its prime and is not functional; needs to be replaced.

We loved the home and everything was awesome!! It was easy to check in and out. We had a couple small issues and the owner helped out immediately. It was really a beautiful home with lots of amenities.

Our family had a wonderful stay here. There was plenty of room and the kitchen was perfect for a large group. The pool and hot tub definitely was the highlight for all ages! Communication with the property manager was excellent. Plenty of parking space which was a nice bonus. Would definitely recommend this property for large family gatherings!

16 family members from 8-75 and we loved the property! Saw some beautiful Colorado sights and had great pool days as well. Kitchen was wonderful for BIG cooking nights.

Had an amazing time at this beautiful home. So many different activities for all ages to enjoy! The owner, Diego was a great host! We will definitely be back.

This was a great place for a family gathering. We had enough space for the 15 of us which included 9 adults and 6 kids ages 4-12. The kids were always busy doing something. The billiard table was used constantly. The pool was an amazing size. You don't realize how big it is until you see it. The property manager gave us a tour which was super helpful with directions how to run everything. The beds were very comfy. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at night with the fire pit going. There were speakers throughout the house and we had music going whenever we were there. A very relaxing place to stay and we'd recommend it to anyone.
4.9
Our three generational family of 16 loved staying at this property. The pool and spa were an added benefit. The property and country side are beautiful and Diego is an excellent, responsive host. It is a short drive to the quaint town of Monument, CO and is located about half an hour drive from Colorado Springs and its many interesting activities. I highly recommend this property. Our family will treasure the memories we made here for years to come.
4.9
We got together with most of our family for a celebration. It was not only the perfect venue but everyone enjoyed the stay. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was the perfect host. If not for the fact we are moving from Colorado I would have liked to hang out with that guy.
4.9
I want to personally thank both the owners and management crew through this review. My family and I were hosted for a long 2 month stay, and everything was absolutely wonderful. The home presents extremely well, open plan with lots of windows and natural sunlight. The background views from everywhere in the home were nothing short of breathtaking. It’s a very special feeling here. Thank you Diego!

The amenities were fantastic. There are a lot of options for down time for our boys to engage in while at the house.

This was an amazing property with a ton of amenities. (although the master bathroom has a bidet basin, just didn't have the nerve to give it a wirl) The heated pool was amazing even for late September in Colorado. The fire places and outdoor fire features were a romantic touch. We certainly felt like we were living the lifestyles of the rich and famous while watching movies in the theater room. We rented the property for a small gathering of friends and family for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We were very nervous that the property changed owners after booking it and after invitations had already gone out, However Diego was very responsive and reassuring as was the property manager who checked us in and showed us around, Vanessa showed us how to work the many amenities. We would have stayed longer had we been able to.
4.9
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House was great, great location. Hosts went way above and beyond with personal touches and amenities. Easily one of the best stays we have ever had on VRBO.

My family and friends stayed at this luxurious five-star home away from home during my daughter’s August 2022 wedding at the lovely Flying Horse Ranch. The location is close to a lot of attractions in Colorado Springs (ie. Garden of the Gods, Air Force Academy, etc.) and only an hour from Denver. My group of ten plus a 6-month-old baby immensely enjoyed the upscale, elegantly decorated accommodations of which some of the highlights were the movie theatre room, outdoor pool and spa, gym area, game room with pool/ping pong table plus beautiful bedrooms and deck areas. The exceptional point about this rental thought was the attentiveness of the owners Diego and Lisa. Their timely responses to request, concerns, and mishaps made our stay pleasant and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this well appointed home to future vacationers who want a touch of elegance and class during their stay.
4.9
The house was gorgeous and so roomy that 12 people could not run into each other unless invited to do so. The host and his wife were excellent and immediately responded to all issues. He was one of the best hosts we have encountered while using VRBO as the agent for renting large homes in many different states. The property was clean and well maintained. The location between Denver and Colorado Spring was a great boon for the activities we had planned for our vacation. If we return to Colorado for our yearly family, we will book this man's property for sure. The stay and the property were graded by me at 6 on a scale of 5 is the best. You vacationers who desire beautiful scenery and great varieties of things to do, would be sorry if they rent another property. Larry well pleased. Thanks

Sarah was very easy to work with. She had great communication and went above and beyond to make our stay stress free. Brought extra propane when we ran out and was readily available with other questions. The property is just beautiful. Extremely spacious with a very open feeling upstairs kitchen and living room, wrap around balcony and downstairs porch, 12 person hot tub. Everything was great. My entire group thoroughly enjoyed the location and yours will too! We would definitely stay here again!

Extraordinary Experience
Hosts were phenomenal and the residence was impeccable. In addition to the home being fully stocked with supplies, the hosts made themselves available 24/7. 20+ years of traveling as a military family and this was by far our best experience ever. We will never forget our Tuscan experience!
4.9
Great for a large get together!
What an awesome place. We had a group of 9 and each party/couple had their own room and in-suite. We really enjoyed the pool table, hot tub, and sauna! The place could have done for more instructions as the hot tub, sauna and stereo were fairly confusing, but otherwise we had an amazing stay!

New Year vacation for extended family
Terrific visit with healthy surprise snowfall New Year’s Eve. Great communication and service (owner family snow blower team cleared driveway by breakfast and broke out sled for grandkids!) Beautiful home … trip created great memories for our family

Pleasantly surprised. Was a little leery after reading the reviews about the house having pet hair. The house ws reasonably clean & we didn’t notice any pet hair. Owners were very easy to work with and easy to get ahold of. The downstairs game room and tables, theatre & gym kept our group entertained. Every pan or item we needed was there. The negative is that the house is not vacant so the fridge door & freezer were nearly full (the owner did allow us to pack up the door contents and forward them with the house keeper) & small wardrobe racks were placed in most rooms to hang clothes. Regardless, the set up & their amenability outweighed the negative. Would definitely return.

Very nice home, with lots of room for all of us. Home has outdoor speakers for music but neighbor’s evidently didn’t appreciated children having fun in the outdoor pool - not really a neighborhood for vacationers.

I shared pictures of the beautiful, elegant rooms and then added the pictures where the house was filled with our family. I documented our trip and one of the comments on Facebook was a friend who said I was great in sales, she wanted to bring her whole family with her to the same spot! MAGNIFICENT on all counts!

We had a wonderful time at this lovely house. It was a beautiful place that met the needs of our large family. We came from all over the country to enjoy each other and the gorgeous Colorado scenery. Everybody loved the pool, trampoline, home theater and hot tub.
That being said there were a few things that could be improved. The home is obviously their primary residence that they occasionally rent out. There were bedrooms, filled with the kids personal items, that were not pictured in the the listing. It was a more like sleeping at your cousins house than a vacation getaway. It was very obvious that they had a dog and it would have felt cleaner if they had put the dog stuff away. Also there seemed to be something wrong with the air conditioning. Just a few minor changes would take this beautiful home from a nice rental to an exceptional one

Each bedroom has its own bathroom which was wonderful for our family of adults.
The pool was awesome and very large and there is so much room. We loved the movie theater too.
My only complaint was the number of condiments in the fridge. I did combine the 4 jars of dill pickles and the 3 mostly empty ketchup bottles. It’s nice to not have to buy condiments but a bit of maintenance would be nice.
