We throughly enjoyed staying here with our adult sons and their families while attending our 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration with other extended family members at a local restaurant. The home was perfect for providing community in the family area while giving those who were still sleeping the quiet they needed to get their rest.

We loved our stay in Colorado Springs! We were there for USAFA graduation week and this location was perfect. It was close to everything we needed and the house itself fit our group comfortably. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

We had an amazing stay at this location. Chek-in and check-out were very easy. If we had any problems, I would contact the owner and he replied instantly. Beautiful, clean home with space for all 9 adults and 3 kids. When it rained, we just played games inside. The only downside to this place is the fact that the backyard is not "toddler-friendly" because of the different levels of back-yard.
We would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed this beautiful home with all of the beautiful views. It was well furnished and had lots of movies, books and games for children and adults. It was just right for a large family or multifamily stay.

Great location and property, would not recommend for individuals with limited mobility due to amount of stairs to get to bedrooms, but other than that we had a wonderful time!

I would highly recommend this home! Plenty of space to spread out. Large selection of movies and games (not to mention the ping pong table downstairs). My young girls found the trunk loaded with play dresses which was a highlight for them. Make sure you take advantage of the large deck! We ate almost every meal outside.
As far as location it is a couple minutes from Focus on the Family and 20-30 minutes from Manitou Springs and Pikes Peak Cog.
We greatly enjoyed our stay and the owners were very helpful and great to talk with.

Great place; great location!
The location of this property was excellent and just as described. We enjoyed watching the planes and parachutes from the USAFA every morning. Experienced great communication with the owner. Our grandchildren loved playing in the backyard and we appreciated the baby gate. Might not hurt to add one on the upper deck as the first step is a bit trickier for toddlers. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property!

This was a great place for our family to stay. We were able to all relax, spend time together and spend time apart in this house. Lots of levels with comfortable furniture everywhere. Kitchen was well stocked with necessary equipment and room for all to sit and eat.
Close to many things to do and the view was wonderful.
It was so easy to check in and check out. The extra keys were a big help too!
Will definitely look at staying here again in the future

Steve was very communicative during our stay. His daughter, Becka, was very kind to meet us there and show us the property. Beautiful mountain views. Great property for kids and family. Perfect location for all tourist locations. We visited Royal Gorge, Penny Arcades in Manitou Springs, Bishop Castle, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and visited family in Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Cousins enjoyed the huge living room for sleep over movie nights and board games. Also, they loved the tree house and trampoline in the back yard. The adults enjoyed the fire pit, outdoor patio seating, the spacious kitchen, and huge tub upstairs for relaxing bubble baths. Thank you Flannery family for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Memory Maker
This property made our trip to Colorado a wonderful experience. Our adult children and their families stayed with us and we had plenty of room to entertain them and our local relatives, as we were in Colorado for a memorial service. Everyone was comfortable and enjoyed our time together so much more than if we had stayed in a hotel. This property was exactly as it was described and we would rent it again in a heartbeat.

Absolutely wonderful stay
My sister and family live about five miles from this property so the location was ideal for a weekend that included a military retirement ceremony and high school graduation. As if the location were not ideal enough, the home is beautifully furnished, scenery and setting are idyllic and peaceful, and everything about it is comfort, comfort, comfort! The hosts were beyond gracious and welcoming, and as long as this home is available, my family and I do not intend to search for any alternate locations on future visits. Definitely five stars!

Wonderful cozy home. The thoughtful Christmas decorations made us all feel at home. 1 small suggestion would be a Tv in the master bedroom. I would definitely recommend this beautiful property.
