We enjoyed your lovely home very much. The room arrangements worked well for all of us.
We loved the beautiful back porch with a dinner table. We ate many meals out there.
The front porch was also a great escape as we watched the kids play tin the great yard.
Zipline was a big success with the kids as were the chickens!!
Thank you for allowing us to rent your home for a week!! = )

Our stay included 14 individuals ranging from the parents to their youngest grandchild of 3 months old. The house was very spacious with enough bedrooms for everyone, including individual rooms per adult couple (4). The kids had plenty of beds to sleep in as well if they shared (but they chose to sleep on the pullouts in the playroom).
We all agreed that it was more than enough space for parents to allow the kids to play while we enjoyed some adult conversation and cook meals without littles running around our feet. Sooooooo much outdoors space for the kids to explore safely (not to mention seeing the horses and other farm animals next door!). They also got a kick out of grabbing the eggs in the morning.
The house was clean and very well maintained. The photos shown are 100% accurate to what it looks like present day. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. In terms of nearby things to do, there was a bit of driving to get to those, but if you’re looking for a house of this size to accommodate a large family gathering, they would be far and few between to be any closer.
The owners/family were incredible to work with as well and very attentive to any needs we had. They valued our privacy when there were things that needed to be done on the property (coop cleaning and normal hot tub maintenance), checking in first to see when we were going to be gone. And it always helps to know the neighbors were very friendly as well, to give an idea of the area.

We had the best time! Everyone of all ages had fun and had something to do! We made so many memories in this home. We were able to cook all of our meals. We were able to lounge and play games play outside. There was so much to do at the house, we were also close to pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods and Focus on the Family. There were so many things to do. It was a wonderful week.

What a house! Better than the photos and everything you could ever want! My husband and I were hosting a wedding for our daughter in Black Forest and this house was for our children and spouses to spend time together between wedding activities. The home is beautiful, with every amenity you need. The property gorgeous. The hosts were so personal, kind and clearly parents of a beautiful family. Thanks for a wonderful weekend, creating beautiful family memories.

This house was the perfect place for us to start making new family memories. My husband’s mother passed in July and his Dad ten months prior to that. After selling the family home in Iowa this September we committed to gathering everyone and this place was perfect! We were 2 families (ours 6 and my sister-in-law’s 4) and we were able to have an uncle (who lives near-by) join for Thanksgiving dinner. Plenty of activities for our twenty something kids with pool table, hot tub, zip line and gorgeous (and well equipped) kitchen. The TV access was a struggle to watch football and the location a bit remote (if you want to go out nightly.) Megan was very available to answer all our questions and she was so kind to keep in touch before and during our stay. It’s a beautiful family home and many new memories were made! Would recommend to friends and family and would stay again!

We had a wonderful stay. The property accommodated our one traveler who needed accommodations. First floor bedroom was perfect for her. Enjoyed the spaciousness and the views from windows. Had two piano players with us so the piano was a bonus as well as the guitar. House nicely decorated.

We had a wonderful stay. The kids had a blast. There was so much to do around the property we didn't feel the need to ever leave! The kids really enjoyed feeding/watering the chickens and bunnies. The playroom was amazing, the art room was amazing. Just all around perfect! Wish we could have booked a longer stay! The owners were super nice and had provided more than we needed.
Thanks again for the wonderful memories.

This home is in a gorgeous setting with wild lavender, beautiful hillside, and pine trees everywhere. The peacefulness is inside the home too with beautiful furnishings and wonderful games and activities for the kids. We took our kids and grandkids there for a week stay and they did not want to leave. I can’t say enough about this home! Honestly, we will be talking about this place for a very long time!

Our stay at this wonderful property was exactly what our family was looking for. We were in Colorado for my son's graduation from the Air Force Academy. The house was in short distance to the Academy, so it was easy to attend the events.
The property was filled with many features that kept my grandchildren happy & excited. A playroom, art room, swing set, seesaw, a chicken coop with eggs to gather, bunnies, soccer field and a zipline.
We had lots of space for the entire family and thoroughly enjoyed spending time together.
We were blessed to have found the perfect property to make incredible memories.
Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo for an amazing stay!

It was wonderful to have so many activities for the kids. Even after a day of sight seeing, there was no downtime for them. The home is lovely and the kitchen was perfect. We appreciated the pantry space provided. We ate many meals on the deck with its beautiful views. Enjoyed the sweet touch of fresh flowers. Our evenings were gathered around the fire pit and enjoying s'mores.
Thank you Anderson family for sharing your home. We laughed, played and made memories.

Fabulous Family Fun
Of all the properties we have stayed at over many years of visiting Colorado Springs, this was the most family friendly. There were so many things to do on and around the property and the homeowners were kind and customer centric. They went above expectation to make us feel welcome and were very accommodating. We had a really great 9 days. Thank you Megan and Jared!

Incredible time at an amazing home
The house is unbelievable! Beautiful, luxurious home with country charm is how I would describe it. 5 main bedrooms with lots of beds and space(lots!!!) awesome kitchen with a fully stocked pantry with lots of stuff for the guest to use. Plates and cups that can serve a party of 50. Great for large groups!!! Lots of fun stuff from kids to adults. The most amazing thing about this place, the host!!! Megan and Jared are the best! If there is availability, it won’t last for long. We will certainly be back! Thank you Megan and Jared for your wonderful hospitality.

This place has everything!
Let me first just say—wow! Our guest ranged in age from 2 up to 68, and there was something for us all here! Something else I loved was that while there was enough room for us all to gather for meals and hanging out, there was also enough private space so that we weren't on top of each other and could retreat to our own separate areas. There was so much to do indoors, outdoors, and in the area in general! Megan was absolutely wonderful in communicating with us and helping us answer any questions we had. The only thing that wasn't perfect is that the treehouse that was advertised was locked and wasn't able to be used. However, I did not reach out about this, so it may have been unintentional or an easy fix if I had asked. My kids had an absolute ball here, and despite there being sports, games, a zipline and a trampoline, I think their very favorite thing were the adorable chickens and bunnies. This place was just overall very relaxing. We didn't have to worry about anything and could focus on each other, which was the point! I've already recommended this home to others and hope to come back someday! Big thanks to our awesome hosts.

Fantastic Experience
We had a wonderful time at this home. The owners, Megan and Jared, were very pleasant to work with and provided an excellent experience for our extended family. The kids and teens all loved the huge yard with the fun amenities - basketball, soccer, ping pong, trampoline, swings, zip line, hot tub and fire pit - and also enjoyed taking care of the chickens and bunnies.
We could not be happier with our stay and absolutely would recommend to anyone.

Amazing stay
We visited for a long weekend with a large group of friends and we were able to fit everyone very comfortably. The house was clean and well decorated. The home is on a large lot so we were able to play sports outside and enjoy each other’s company with lots of room to spare. The host was also very communicative and accessible. I would highly recommend this property.

My family and I had an amazing time at this stunning home! Megan was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay; even going the extra mile to suggest activities and grocery stores. This family home is delightful and was perfect for us. Plenty of space and loads of things to do. The view off the back deck is amazing. Our family spent endless hours outside on the swings, trampoline, and zipline. And taking care of the chickens was fun, too! Highly recommended.

Family vacation
10 kids and 10 adults stayed. Would have liked to be able to use the closets but made do with clothes rack. If you plan on cooking all your meals and have 20 people don’t buy all your groceries at once. The refrigerator is large but drinks take up a lot of space. The kids loved all the animals nearby and made good use of the zip line. The owners are great to work with. We had a great time.

Perfect family reunion
17 family members between the ages of 2 & 80 gathered for a family reunion and memorial. Megan’s house provided the perfect place for a restorative weekend for all. The kids had so much fun on the trampoline, zip line, and in the upstairs playroom. The adults loved relaxing on the patio. The house had plenty of dishes and utensils for a large gathering and the owners could not have been more generous. This house is really special and we feel so fortunate to have found it!

This is a GREAT home!!!
If 10 Stars were available I would still want to give more stars. This home is a perfect home for families and children. This year we had our Thanksgiving at this home with 10 adults and 10 children that ranged from 2-17. On the first night there was a snow storm that dropped about 18 inches of snow at the house but the driveway and sidewalks were cleared by late morning. (if a big snowstorm is forecast I would recommend a bigger vehicle for this area as the lower cars would struggle and possibly get stuck in spots and side streets so just keep an eye on the weather and your car rental choice). You would think 20 people in a home would be overwhelming, not here, there is so much space and the layout allowed everyone to have space. We had 10 children at the house, but we never saw them because they were always doing something in one of the many play areas from the arts and craft room, to games downstairs, to the tire swing and toy room upstairs. I think the kids had the most fun of all and none of them wanted to leave. The favorite for the adults was sitting on the couch by the fireplace, watching a Christmas movie or two and playing cards at the big kitchen table. The kitchen was fully stocked and Megan was quick to respond to anything that we needed. This house lived up to all of the previous reviews and we are glad that we booked it. For our family this house was Perfect!!! Highly Recommend!!!

Fantastic Family Home
We just returned from spending 5 nights in this spacious, comfortable home while attending our niece's wedding. We had 8 adults and 6 grandkids (all age 5 and under) yet never felt cramped or confined thanks to the large gathering areas. The play areas for kids (writing room, huge playroom, trampoline, swing set, etc.) could not have been better. The adults even managed a few hours of chatting around the fire pit and relaxing in the spa. We cooked most meals at home and the well equipped kitchen and gas grill on the porch were perfect for doing so. And I would be remiss to not mention the unique experience of collecting and consuming fresh eggs every day!
Megan and Jared have put a lot of love and thought into providing a truly wonderful FAMILY home for guests. We could not have chosen a better property for creating priceless memories with our children and grandchildren. If you are looking for a spacious, well decorated home for a large group, with lots of outdoor space to boot, look no further.

Best VRBO Ever!
My husband and I rented this property for our family to stay in while in town for our daughter's wedding nearby. They absolutely loved this property and all of it's amenities. It is a fantastic set-up for a bit larger group of people. Their favorite part was how much room there was both in the home and on and around the property. Plenty of room both on the deck and in the kitchen for everyone to enjoy a meal together. Also enough room for everyone to spread out a little so they didn't feel crowded with so many people in the house. The piano was a definite favorite as we have a very musical family. I would give this property 10 stars if I could! We will definitely use this property again.

Fabulous home for our Family reunion!
What a wonderful time we had at this property. We have rented about 10 times from Home Away over the years, and this was a wonderful experience. The home is so warm and welcoming and a great place for our family reunion of Grandpa and Grandma, 3 married kids, and 8 grandkids ranging in age from 8 months to 11 years. We represented PA, CA, NM, and VA. The kids absolutely loved all of the things outside - the trampoline was a big hit, the zip line was perfect for the boys aged 7 - 11, soccer games in the back yard, swings, and a big sandbox for the little ones, and a tree house big enough for a few to sleep out in one night:-) We even had a family scavenger hunt one day. We did it all! What was especially nice was to be able to sit on the front porch and be able to keep an eye on the kids playing in the yard. We did day trips a few days, but I think the kids preferred just playing and being together.
Oh, and I don't want to forget the chickens! The kids loved to gather the eggs and we probably got about 18 eggs each day for our next days breakfast. One grandson especially took responsibility for collecting eggs. I think it was a highlight for him!
We made smores in the fire pit a few nights, and it was great. We made wonderful memories that will last a life time. We have stayed at the ocean and stayed near amusement parks but this was probably one of my favorites, because cousins played with each other all day! It was a great home for interaction.
Jared and Megan were wonderful to work with and even volunteered to take our family picture on their inviting front porch. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. May God bless you! Terry and Dee and family
