We had excellent communication with the owner, if we texted him he responded immediately. Our place was larger than we expected, very clean, and everything we needed was provided. This Vrbo is close to the AF Academy in Colorado and located in a very nice area with nice restaurants and things to do. Would definitely stay there again.

I try to be thorough in selecting my stays based on my own personal wants, those I'm with, price, location, etc. All the basics. So far, so good (five out of five). This place already had excellent reviews and, frankly, vastly exceeded the photos of the place.
Easy communication with owner before booking, getting entry information, etc. Price was great. Location was awesome. It's a few minutes from I-25 but far enough away that you can't hear it or see it really. Pike's Peak is not quite visible from the place but it's visible very near the stay. There are some gas stations/fast food joints right down the street but some major exits along I-25 are 10-15 minutes away. 20ish minutes from Garden of Gods, 25 from Manitou Incline. Plenty of dining/shopping/entertainment options.
Getting in, our map took us through a very long neighborhood drive. While annoying, we figured it was quite tucked away and safe. Using I-25 and the main roads is much easier and convenient.
Place was great and clean. Two good-size bedrooms/beds, closets. A nice bathroom. Great dining and living room area with a fireplace and many TV viewing options. Security is always a big deal for my parents and this is very residential, very safe. Access to the place was a few steps but nothing serious.
All in all, it's my third-best VRBO, which is no slight. We stayed in some crazy places that are tough to beat. Being more residential than some of the others, this was perfect. I would 100 percent stay here again.

This was the perfect place for our family who was in town for a graduation. Chris could not have been more gracious or accommodating. He responded promptly and professionally to our every request. I can see why he has so many returning guests and stellar reviews. The fact that the bedrooms were on opposite sides of the unit gave us privacy when needed. The large walk-in closet (which is the size of a small bedroom) was the perfect place for our granddaughter to sleep in peace while the adults hung out in the living room. I can't recommend Chris and his rental highly enough!

This was my third stay at Chris' house and all three trips have been excellent! I love his place and feel right at home when staying there. The neighborhood is quiet, the deer come up close to visit, and amenities are minutes away in multiple directions. Chris is a great host and you will have nothing but fond memories of a stay at his place!

My husband and I were finishing up our trip to Colorado in Colorado Springs. This was a perfect spot, out of the city a bit but in a very nice development. It was an easy drive to all the sights and to great restaurants. Chris was very easy to communicate with and his place was spotless. He had everything we needed and more. Added bonus was a sweet deer that visited in the back yard! We will stay here again for sure!

We were in town for my nephew’s graduation from the Air Force Academy. Our place was super convenient to the academy . It was clean and quiet. And the host was super nice and helped me when I needed to extend my stay from my original reservation. Definitely recommend it to any visiting the Academy .

This property is nestled away in a quiet neighborhood, but it is close to so many good restaurants, shopping and the great outdoors!
There is a cozy (instant) fireplace, spacious layout and lots of information the host has provided to enjoy the nearby attractions in the Colorado Springs area! Also, great sunset views and the moon over Pikes Peak.
