We were cancelled by Host Milton (Skip) Smith as our group was too large for his home. By contract, we were refunded 50%. The VRBO Support Team also unsuccessfully reached out to Skip for cancelling without providing a 100% refund. VRBO advised outside of contract, it's at the host's discretion. Skip advised me he would refund the other 50% if rented then turned around and blocked the entire month of August eliminating the opportunity for a full refund. Both Skip & VRBO kept our money even though we rebooked via VRBO. Not a good experience! What would you expect from a lawyer?

We booked Skip’s home as my daughter was getting married at the Pinery at the Hill and I wanted a place where all of my side of the family could be together including my 88 yr old mother. Skip’s home was perfect for us (all 13) with clean and spacious rooms for everyone, great home theater to watch the Olympics, fun pool table which my nephews loved, a fully equipped kitchen with a lot of general items (eg. Spices, paper goods) so that we could cook meals easily and didn’t have to overbuy ingredients. The location is peaceful which is what I needed as mother of the bride and we had daily visits by a beautiful stag in the back yard.
Skip was very responsive to all my questions and easy to communicate with.
This is a beautiful home and I would highly recommend it to everyone!

This was a wonderful house to host our extended family get together over the 4th of July. It was comfortable and well stocked. The host was extremely responsive to our questions. It is conveniently located to beautiful walks and interesting family outings.

Family from FL., PA, and Germany gathered here to celebrate and enjoy the beauty of Colorado. We were able to comfortably meet, enjoy each other, and share lots of good times over great meals and games. The location was perfect for the excursions and sightseeing that we experienced. The scenery provided one of the best vacations ever. The accommodations were perfect for the 5 families that shared this beautiful home

Skip was a great host! The property was set up very well for two families sharing it for a week. We had plenty of space to spread out. The pool table was a big hit for everyone!

Our host allowed for early arrival which was so helpful for our family who drove. The house comfortably worked for our family of 14. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals for a crowd. The host provides paper goods, detergent and a pantry with lots of spices & condiments. The house is located in a safe, well maintained neighborhood and is convenient to all the sights and activities available to visitors in Colorado Springs.

Great location and plenty of space for the 8 adults and 5 children in our party. Skip was unable to meet us at the house, but he made sure we had all the info we needed to get into the community as well as the check-in/out procedures and details about the house that wouldnt have been obvious as a first time guest.
4.9
Skip greeted us and walked us through the house, which we all appreciated. This home was perfect for our family of 13 ranging from ages 2-68. There was plenty of space for everyone and multiple places to hang out and play games. It's located in a quiet community with very little traffic. We took advantage of wonderful locations that were SO close. Garden of the Gods, The Flying W Ranch, and Manitou Springs, and the Cave of the Winds are minutes away. It was a perfect space for our vacation. We'd rent this space again!

The house was great for the 12 of us. It was conveniently located.

My family of 12 stayed in this house for a week and had a blast! The rooms were as advertised, the kitchen spacious and the location couldn't be beat -- especially if you want to beat the crowds to garden of the gods.
It was clean, if a tad dated in decor. We appreciated being able to gather under one roof.

The house was as described, beautiful and had plenty of room for us. Throughly enjoyed our stay.

This home accommodated our entire family of 13 people. We had room enough for everyone to sleep in a bedroom and have easy access to a bathroom. The kitchen, dining room, and living room provided lots of space for games, kids, and adults. Having an office on the main floor was very helpful and was shared by several of the adults. The master bedroom was a nice "escape" for my husband and me. I am a tub person and that was a terrific way to end our very busy days. The two-level deck provided a lot of different gathering places for family members to catch up with one another. Skip was highly responsive and provided us with recommendations for places and restaurants to visit. Everyone enjoyed their time away.

Quality Home in Exceptional Neighborhood
Excellent accommodations for a large group. Adequate space for kids to play apart from adults. The owner met us on arrival and took us through the property and was available for questions and recommendations for area attractions and restaurants. A peaceful atmosphere. There were sometimes deer in the yard. All living areas were fully stocked with amenities. Our most enjoyable stay.

Colorado Springs vacation home.
Property accommodated our family group of 10 very well. The six bedrooms and nine beds allowed for 3 couples, one single adult, and 3 under 18 to each have their own sleeping space. The property manager lives close and even stopped by shortly after our arrival to show us the house and offer some suggestions for visiting Colorado Springs. The back lawn space is somewhat small, but the weather was not conducive to spending time outside in the evenings. Overall, a very good, secure location which I would highly recommend.

Enjoyed our booking very much. Skip was great with area ideas, and his walk thru was very helpful. The house was beautiful, comfortable and close to many of the attractions we wanted to see. Garden of the Gods, Glen Eyrie Castle, Cog Train, Olympic Center, etc, as well as restaurants and groceries. It was a fun trip and we would definitely recommend this rental.

The Kissing Camels location near Garden of the Gods was perfect! The house was clean and accommodated our extended family well. It was a disappointment to find out the pool was unavailable to us due to COVID, as this was a main reason some in our party decided on this house. We didn’t know until the week before, but such are these times. Skip was great at communication and assistance.
