This was our third time staying at The Country Retreat and it truly gets better each visit. We spent every evening enjoying the newly built outdoor living area complete with built-in bbq, fire pit, sitting area, cornhole, and that gorgeous view! We road bikes, walked the country roads, watched football, played board games, and cooked meals. Close enough to town to run in for dinner or groceries while still being away from the busyness of the Springs. Robyn has created a beautiful home-away-from-home that is warm and cozy and equipped with everything you will need during your stay! Love everything about this home and our visits!

My family absolutely loved our stay. This is probably the best VRBO we have stayed at. It exceeded our expectations and the photos. It seemed everywhere we looked there were extra touches of comfort. I felt pampered. The kitchen truly had every tool we needed during our stay. The new outdoor patio was so special. I enjoyed my mornings having coffee under the cafe lights and enjoying the view of Pikes Peak. We walked the grounds every day to look for deer and bunnies. We didn't mind the drive to COS because this was so much nicer and more relaxing than staying in town. This place has it all for a family trip to the area!

This was our first experience using vrbo, and Robyn has set the bar incredibly high! The view from the house is breathtaking, the house is spotless and the host is so thoughtful! No pictures could do this property justice. We couldn't have asked for better house/host.

Wow! Perfectly appointed, immaculately clean, over-the-top awesome deck/firepit/BBQ. Absolutely best view of Pikes Peak and all. Plus, the Blue Sage Bakery goodies - spot on! Spotted twin fawns, hawks, turkeys, rabbits, hummingbirds. To top it all off, Robyn is a nonstop giver who has thought of everything!! Perfect!

Absolutely beautiful property. Driving in we saw it on the butte and thought “wouldn’t that be neat if that was our place” AND THEN IT WAS! Beautifully furnished inside and out. Would stay here again—parents and kids alike were big fans and sad to leave.

Im not sure where to begin..everything was so on point! The home was full of hospitality and so many details were put in our stay. We had fresh cinnamon rolls and farm fresh eggs,and snacks for our grandkids. This Home was also very kid friendly! Girls loved it!

This property is even better than the pictures portray. The owner has stocked it with EVERY kitchen or party utensil you may ever need, and even has tons of spices on hand for your cookout/dinner. Communication with the owner was easy. Definitely recommend and if we ever travel in the area again we will try to get this property. 10 out of 10.

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning view of Pike’s Peak. Whether enjoying my morning coffee on the patio or watching the sunset in the evening, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking.
The property itself is impeccably maintained and beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Every room is thoughtfully designed, with comfortable furnishings and all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay.
What truly set this experience apart, however, was the exceptional hospitality of our host. From the beginning, she was incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. When a small issue arose, she addressed it immediately and efficiently, going above and beyond to make sure our stay was uninterrupted.
Overall, this property offers the perfect combination of a picturesque setting, beautiful accommodations, and outstanding service. It was perfect place for our family to stay for our Cadet’s graduation from USAFA. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Colorado Springs area.

This was our second stay at the Guesthouse and it was as wonderful as we remembered. Robyn is communicative, thoughtful and the Guesthouse feels like a home away from home. It’s cozy, accommodating for all ages, has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the views are incredible. This year Robyn surprised us with cinnamon rolls and fresh eggs from Blue Sage Bakery, so good! We rode bikes, explored the property and enjoyed family dinners. Our family loves this home and looks forward to our next visit! Highly recommend this beautiful home for your next visit to Colorado Springs!

Our family stayed at this property for a vacation. We loved the location. It was close enough to all the things we wanted to do yet still out in the country in a quiet and peaceful setting. The mountain views from this property are incredible. The house is even better than what the pictures show. It is extremely clean and very well maintained. You will not find a better hostess than Robyn. She was so easy to work with. We highly recommend Robyn and this property to anyone. We would definitely stay here again.

Reservation, checking and arrival processes were a breeze. I have travelled for over 50+ years and this was the most well appointed property I’ve ever seen. Hostess Robyn was truly outstanding. We had zero issues and the few questions we had were answered quickly and efficiently. The house is remote yet conveniences are only 20-30 away. It sits on a five acre lot with an expansive view toward the Rockies. It fit our needs perfectly. A great location, an ideal property and an outstanding hostess. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Beautiful home with classy farmhouse decor. I took pictures so I could recreate some of her decor at home. Very comfy and relaxing with beautiful view of Pikes Peak from the back deck. Hostess was best we’ve ever encountered. Kept us informed when storms caused internet outage. Most homes start off with starter supplies of toilet paper, dish soap etc. she had more than we needed of everything for our week stay. Made sure new bikes were ready for grandkids left homemade goodies and breakfast food furnished. You will not find a better host. We definitely want to go back!

Would highly recommend this property. Was clean. Loved the location. Close enough to the activities we wanted to do—Top Golf, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Royal Gorge—but also far enough out of town for peaceful mornings and evenings. We definitely felt welcome in this home and felt that if we would have needed anything from our hosts (we didn’t have any problems) that they would have been easy ti get a hold of and would have resolved any issues. We could definitely see ourselves staying there again.

The property was even better than I imagined. Me, my boyfriend, my best friend and her husband wanted to have an unforgettable couples vacation and it was so much more. It felt like a home away from home and we will definitely be back!

This house was absolutely beautiful. It sits on top of a large hill and the views are amazing. The kids loved all the aces to explore and we saw lots of wild life! The host is about as good as it gets! I couldn't recommend more.

Our stay at Robyn's place was spectacular. She has provided every comfort imaginable, and the home was beautiful and extremely clean. The panoramic views were incredible! Communication with Robyn was always easy, and she was quick to respond. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to get away and relax for a bit. Perfect place to enjoy with family or friends. We look forward to visiting again someday!

We were very impressed with the hosts of this property. They truly make you feel welcome in their lovely home. The home is comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed the peaceful setting of this property. This property was the perfect home base to explore this area of Colorado including Rocky Mountain NP, Great Sand Dunes NP, Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods, and many more. Highly recommend this property.

The drive to the property is a beautiful drive filled with scenic landscapes leading you to your Mountain View getaway retreat. As soon as you step through the door you are encompassed and transported into a mountain dream filled with peaks, valleys and views that seem to go on and on. The house makes you feel right at home from the moment you put your bags down. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need. The soft linens on the beds mixed with the mountain air, views and quiet area makes for the best sleep of your life. The homeowner was super quick to respond and even left a welcome message and goodies for when we arrived. I couldn’t recommend this place more for your vacation getaway!!

Thank you so much for making our stay unforgettable. Our wedding was amazing, and you were a huge part of that. I appreciate all of the "little touches" that made our stay so amazing... We will be back! Thanks from The Deatons

This was an amazing property!! It is secluded and has amazing views of Pike’s Peak. We slept 10 with no problem. We had an infant and there was a pack and play provided!! The attention to detail by Robyn was amazing and I will recommend this property to anyone that wants to escape city life. Plenty of land to explore and we actually chose to not leave the property to see what we could find!! We will go back!!

Everything about this property was perfect! Robyn was communicative and accommodating, the home was very well appointed with comfortable furniture, cozy throw blankets, kitchen appliances and utensils, and bathroom toiletries just in case you forgot to pack something. It is a about a 25 minutes drive from stores and restaurants, but we didn’t mind, the views and beauty of the Black Forest was worth the drive. This home is so beautiful we could easily have stayed another week. Thank you for providing a perfect home to make new family memories! We would rent again and again!

I rented this home for several family members to stay in for a family reunion. The house was spacious and beautifully decorated with an amazing view! Our hostess had a welcome sign with all the families names and all the needed amenities! Thank you for making my family feel so special!

Everything about this VRBO is perfect! Exquisitely decorated home, spectacular views of Pikes Peak as well as surrounding ranches. Sunrise, moonrise and evening vistas are all breath taking.
The home is exactly as the listed pictures demonstrate. The hostess clearly communicates throughout the visit- even notifying us of a cable outage and cows on the loose.
This property gets our highest rating! We will return!
Thank you to the owner/host- you outperformed every expectation we had.

We can’t say enough good things about how wonderful this property was for our week-long vacation! The owner was kind and helpful and the house was comfortable and well-appointed. Beautiful backyard views, close encounters with mule deer, and the owner thought of every little detail down to mints on all the pillows. I highly recommend this property!

Having stayed at many rentals in the past, we can easily say this rental was a true ten out of ten. The layout of the home was perfect for our family getaway. The decorating and amenities were beyond our expectations. Then above all this was the property and setting. The sights from the back of the property were breathtaking. We experienced seeing deer everyday we were there. We would not hesitate at all to book this property again. We highly recommend this property!!!!!

Felt at home the minute we walked in. This home had everything & I mean everything! Beautiful decor, loaded kitchen, cozy living room! We ate breakfast out on the picnic table a couple mornings, overlooking views we will not soon forget. The host was so accommodating & friendly! If we are ever back in this area we would love to stay here again!

This home has everything you could possibly think of! All new top-of-the line appliances. It has a fully stocked kitchen with high-end cookware. Well stocked pantry with coffee, sweetener, numerous spices, 4 flavors of tabasco sauce, pancake mix and syrup, and more. Gigantic TV’s, spa-like bathrooms, robes and slippers, bicycles in the garage, and much more. She even provided breakfast for us! The amazing view out the back of the house was worth the drive.

Beautiful property, both inside and out!
I can't say enough about this property. From the breathtaking views (that included wildlife sightings), to the beautiful decor....it was the perfect family vacation resting place. We filled our week in Co Springs with many adventures. Being able to go back each evening and stay at Robyn's guest house was the best ending to our days. She thought of everything to make her house a home and there were so many sweet "touches" to make her guests feel special and welcome. I would not hesitate to go back to stay at this property. I highly recommend Robyn's guest house as your next vacation rental home!! You won't be disappointed!

Amazing stay!
Where do I start with this property? This place had everything you can possibly need! Such a beautiful view from sunset to sunrise. The host was very responsive and so sweet. If you are looking for a home for a family of 6-8 to people , don’t look any further. The views were incredible , we even saw wildlife. The house is about 20 min from the main town that has everything there.

Pure Luxury in the Colorado Mountains!
The home and location were perfect to enjoy all that the Colorado Springs area had to offer. The house was beautiful and had every amenity to make us feel like home. Plenty of towels, toilet paper, hand soap, travel toiletries, tissue, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all bakeware, pots, pans, dishes and grilling utensils you would ever need. Robyn was a joy to work with and made us feel welcome, even down to the mints on all the bedroom pillows! The location is a dream as the house sits at the top of a hill with a perfect view of Pikes Peak and the surrounding mountains. We enjoyed being indoors as much as we did taking in the beautiful scenery and weather outside. Wonderful, quiet neighborhood. I recommend this home for any family or couple looking for an amazing Colorado Springs getaway!

House on the bluff
Beautiful home and surroundings
Close to everything we wanted to do and great to have meals at home.
Spent time just being home and relaxing with family.
Everyone was comfortable and liked their rooms.
My grandson woke up every morning, opened the curtains and took a breath. Stating “just so amazing”.
We had to leave a day early which was sad.
I’m sure we will be back.
Thanks

A home away from home!
Our stay in Black Forest exceeded all expectations. Robyn was a wonderful host, providing just the right amount of information leading up to our stay, at the perfect time. The property is fully equipped with all that we needed and so well thought out. Our guests were all very comfortable.
The location is about 30 minutes from USAFA but the drive is easy and beautiful. We attended all events leading up to and including Class of 2022 graduation. Robyn added special touches for us including a USAFA garden flag and a couple small ones in the home. It is obvious she cares about her guests, as she would her own family.
Finally, the view from the deck is amazing. The home provides peace, privacy and a sense of tranquility. I hope to have the opportunity to stay in this property again!
Thank you so much, Robyn!

Details…details…details!
The home is a true 5 Star rating! Robyn is considerate enough to take care of every single detail with style. There is firewood for the fireplace, robes and slippers in every room, toiletries in bathrooms, FULLY-STOCKED kitchen and too many high quality amenities to list. It’s fancy, yet comfortable and oh so homey. Robyn is helpful, very organized (Great Home Manual) and personality plus when dealing with by text or phone. We will definitely be renting again and again. Grab your family, come to Colorado Springs and rent this home you will only be disappointed about one thing, when it’s time to leave. Thanks again, Robyn for your hospitality!
