About this house rental
Nestled in pine trees with Mt. Herman as our backdrop, our home is located on 5 acres of land (completely fenced) that provide a peaceful, private setting, with extensive opportunities for nearby activities. The home consists of three levels, each with unique qualities. The upstairs is an elegant suite complete with a spa bath. The main level has a queen bed for two, while the lower level is set up perfectly for a family. Each level has its own full bath.
The Haven is only two "blocks" away from National Forest where you can enjoy hiking, biking, or running along the many trails. Climbing Mt. Herman is a uniquely rewarding experience!
Historic downtown Monument is two miles away with a number of dining options and interesting shops to browse. Historic Palmer Lake is only 5 miles away, offering a similar experience. Whatever your interests, our region can satisfy. The Haven at Mount Herman is your home base for easy and quick access to the Air Force Academy, the city of Colorado Springs (with activities too numerous to mention), or even shopping at the Outlet Mall at Castle Rock. Take a tour through some of the most well known Christian organizations in the world such as Glen Aerie Castle (Navigators), Focus on the Family, or Compassion International. Or... simply relax and enjoy the serenity of our property, perhaps with that book you've been meaning to read for so long.
Too, bring the entire family - children are WELCOME and will be entertained for hours in our large, indoor play/recreation room offering fun for children of all ages; from LEGOs to ping pong to games. Pets are also welcome as long as they are healthy, get along well with people, other dogs, and are under owner's watch at all times.
We are a no smoking property, so no "blowing smoke" anywhere on our acreage. Whatever your purpose, whatever your needs, come and stay with us to refresh your mind and rejuvenate your spirit.

What a perfect place to stay for our son’s wedding. It was peaceful, quiet, comfortable and more than enough space for everyone. I personally loved the fact that there were no TVs!!! Thank you allowing us to stay at your beautiful home. We also really loved the “neighborhood” for talking morning walks.

The haven at Mt. Herman is just that-a haven. The moment we arrived it felt as if we had just arrived home. The hosts were so very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The home was comfortable and we had everything we needed to make our stay relaxed and wonderful. The house with its decks surrounded by pines and views of the mountains provided a peaceful escape that was greatly needed. To top it off, fresh homemade bread that was delicious! We can wait to go back next year!

Great location on acreage and surround by horse farms, tucked in to the base of Mt Herman with beautiful views. Very comfortable home with great outdoor decks and patios. A very friendly, generous and knowledgable owner. The home has everything you will need in the way of comfort, cooking need isolation, yet very close to the historic district of Monument. I highly recommend to stay there.

My family and I have stayed at this property a number of times now and love it every time. There are 10 of us total, (4 adults and 6 kids, ages 4-15). It’s spacious enough for us to all spread out, but also so cozy for family games, movies, and hikes. Over the years our kids have loved playing with the toys in the “play” garage and this year they squealed and laughed happily for hours in the new addition playing duck-duck-goose. The yard is also fully fenced so it’s a perfect nature playground for human and fur-kids alike. Our dogs absolutely love running free and visiting the friendly neighbor animals through the fence. Kelly and Judy are the nicest hosts, and so very attentive to anything we could ever need. Knowing our San Diego kids were excited to see snow, Judy had sleds ready for my kids and showed them the best sledding hill in the yard as soon as we pulled up. The kitchen is well-stocked with plenty of staples and we always hope to leave a little something for the next guest in return. Overall the house is a great place for any families looking for some down time in the crisp mountain air. Finding this place has been a true blessing to our family.

If you are in the Colorado Springs area and you’re looking for not only a beautiful property to stay at but the most gracious and accommodating hosts we’ve ever encountered, look no more! Kelly & Judy have a heart for serving others and it shows from the moment you book with them until you check out! The property is absolutely amazing and they have thought about everything and provide you with so many extras! Do not look past this property, it will not disappoint.

Beautiful home and setting. Home away from home. Slept 6 adults and 5 children very comfortably. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck in the morning. Watch the sun set over Mount Herman in the evening. Outdoors to explore with the kids. The property owners went above and beyond to make our stay special. Highly recommend for your family vacation.

Home is very comfortable and a great place to gather with friends. The host provided an overview of the property, coffee and fresh bread it had everything you need to make meals or bbq. Only challenge was having physical keys for the property. Had to coordinate arrival times with everyone to ensure they could access the house

We brought our 6 over 18 kids and a spouse. We were able to sleep all 9 of us comfortably. The house is stocked nicely with any utensils needed/towels/etc. He game room was wonderful for a ping pong tournament and even some hiking supplies. I can see how families with young children would love it as well. We had an issue with a tire and were even able to borrow a small air compressor from the owners to use to get it aired up enough to get it into town. We would love to stay here longer and again!!

We loved staying at this property. The kids loved the playroom and seeing all the animals at the farms next door. The adults loved the hiking next to the house since it is next door to the national forest. We've stayed in a lot of VRBO's and none of them have been supplied as well as this house. It was very clean on our arrival and had plenty of space for everyone to spread out. It had a very "homey" feel. Since we had to make extra trips to the airport, this location was great because it sits between the airport and the activities we wanted to do.
It does not have a television, but we were too busy to watch it anyway, The only negative is that the pine trees were pollinating while we were there and since there is no air conditioning we had to leave the windows open. It made for a lot of sneezing and runny noses. It does get quite warm in the upstairs bedroom during the day. Overall, we had a wonderful family vacation here and highly recommend it to everyone.

Our visit was wonderful! This home is beautifully organized and impeccably clean. Everything you could need has been thought of and provided by the hosts. They have gone out of their way to make their home seem like yours. This home is perfect for any family group and especially for one with children. Other notable assets include both the peaceful wooded setting with easy hiking access, as well as the home’s layout, to include a large gathering room perfect for a larger family or group.

Judy and Kelly are the perfect hosts who pay extra care and attention to all the details. They truly want you to have a peaceful and memorable experience. You have everything you need and more. We felt like it was home away from home with the best views and access to so many fun adventures.

Beautiful property surrounded by woods. House was perfect, well appointed, wonderful beds and linens, an incredible playroom full of toys for kids, ping pong table. Kitchen very well equipped. The hosts were very helpful and available but never intrusive, left homemade bread and fresh flowers for our arrival. Would definitely stay here again.

Right from the start the owners were great to communicate with. They were extremely responsive and helpful to us during our stay. The home is warm and inviting and had everything we needed for a great time away from home. We highly recommend visiting The Haven when you are traveling in the area.

Third time to stay at this property and loved it as much as we did the first two times. A Christmas tree and decorations were out, which made it feel like home. Look forward to going back!

We had three different family groups in this home. The set up was perfect with a play room for the kids on the same floor as their bedroom. And a bedroom for their parents right across the hall. Bedroom on the middle floor where the kitchen and dining room were also located. Perfect for the cook of the group. The upper level also has it's own private and beautiful bedroom and bath.
The deer were plentiful, the sunrises a blessing and all in all a great place. Would stay here again in a heart beat.

Everything was perfect! Just as described and all the reviews were spot on. The Haven was fabulously appointed and nothing has been overlooked. We cooked at home and ate out. We loved the location as a bunch USAFA grads here for their 50th reunion. Appreciate all the attention to detail.

This is our second time to stay here! Kelly and Judy have furnished The Haven with anything and everything you will need. The location is perfect for anyone with events at the Air Force Academy and the views are breathtaking. Due to airline issues, we arrived a day late, while one of our party was on time. Kelly and Judy graciously let another family member check in AND gave us information on transportation from Denver instead of Colorado Springs. The home made bread and fresh flowers are just an example of their thoughtfulness. We will be back!

The property is a well maintained, beautiful location with everything you can imagine you will need for a multigenerational stay. The owners take pride in having something for everyone, including a converted garage full of toys and activities for all age children, games, ping pong, books, coloring books, lego and more! The kitchen is extremely well stocked with cooking basics, many appliances (I brought some from home I didn't need) and plenty of dishes/cups/glasses for a large crowd. The large kitchen appliances plus a beverage fridge made cooking for a crowd easy. The home is spacious and bright with great views from the top story. There are many fans available to keep everyone cool. A great place to hike on public land is just a short walk away. The outdoor deck with table and chairs and umbrella made for a pleasant place to eat. Two more outdoor sitting areas were great to have a bit of quiet time away from the activity. The outdoor grounds are beautiful, and the hosts were more than helpful in showing us their beautiful property, as well as leaving us a home made loaf of fresh bread, a vase of fresh flowers, and a lovely tour of the home with all it's amenities. Highly recommend!

We travel to Colorado multiple times each year, and The Haven has definitely become our new favorite place. With family in Parker and a wedding in Larkspur, the location was absolutely perfect. Kelly and Judy were the most gracious and generous hosts! From fresh flowers, to fresh bread, to perfect hiking recommendations and the most thoughtfully stocked house - we wanted for nothing. The peaceful and tranquil location had beautiful views and enough space for family and friends. We loved coming back and relaxing after long days hiking and exploring the area. All the thoughtful little touches throughout the house really made it feel like home. We highly recommend this property and we will definitely will be back!

We came in for a wedding with our teenage kids and made the trip into a vacation. This was the absolute perfect place to stay because the setting is so beautiful, located at the base of Mt. Herman, and within walking distance of that part of the national forest. While our teenage kids slept late, we enjoyed the setting and scenery as much as we did doing other touristy things while we were there. There is a view of Mt. Herman in one direction and views of some mini-farms, including horses and donkeys, in other directions. The house is incredibly spacious, beautifully decorated with "cabin" decor that is not over the top, and the space is perfect for a family. The kids had rooms across from each other on the lower level with a shared bath, there is another bath and bedroom on the main level, and then a beautiful and peaceful master suite on the top floor with windows that look out onto Mt. Herman. If you stay in the summer, be mindful that the bedrooms may get warm if it is hot that day, but for us, it was worth being able to stay there, and there are many fans in the house that you can move around wherever you want them. We loved this place and are so glad we booked it. The host was lovely, helpful, and easy to communicate with. The ping pong table was perfect for entertaining our teens when we weren't doing touristy things, and we used it daily. This really is a haven and we highly recommend!

This property is perfect for a family stay in the area. Off the beaten path but very close to restaurants, attractions, groceries. Spacious, beautifully decorated and impeccably kept. The best equipped rental I have ever been in, and that is saying something. Fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, plenty of everything, nice outdoor spaces including a deck for lounging in the cooler evenings. The master bath and suite are so pretty, cozy and private. In fact, we had nice private spaces for each of the 3 couples staying with us. Lots of baby and child’s toys and equipment for our 15 month old granddaughter. We were impressed. And the owners are so kind - helpful notes around the house, met us to check in to show us around, and left us fresh flowers and a loaf of homemade baked bread. We will always try to get this rental when visiting nearby family in Colorado Springs now.

Tranquil and Spacious
My extended family gathered from Ohio, Oklahoma, Georgia and Colorado for my nieces wedding in Monument. We could not have picked a better home! My 4 year old nephew was over the moon with the kid-equipped playroom and the rest of the family enjoyed more than one ping-pong tournament! The back deck was our favorite place to gather in the morning and the evenings, with plenty of room for everyone. The owners, Judy and Kelly, were SO accommodating and gracious - anticipating and fulfilling every need. Highly recommended!

Our hosts, Judy & Kelly, were the most gracious property owners we’ve had the pleasure of renting from. They had so many special touches (such as fresh flowers and fresh baked bread) waiting for us and instantly made us feel welcome and at home. They were so accommodating for the needs of our extended family with young children and had absolutely everything we could have needed on sight. We can’t say enough kind things about them or their amazing property! Thank you!!!

Beautiful Property with Awesome Hosts!
We rented this property to celebrate our parent's 50th wedding anniversary. (This area was the halfway point for those traveling from Arizona and Iowa). The location was absolutely perfect - away from the hustle and bustle but very close to town. The home is beautiful and is fully stocked with anything that you could possibly need. The hosts are awesome - very accommodating and welcoming. We are so glad they shared their home with us. We made lots of memories and hope to stay again in the future. Thank you, Kelly & Judy!

Can’t recommend this place enough! We had a wonderful stay at the Haven. The house has everything you never knew you needed - they really thought of everything! They went above and beyond to make our stay so memorable. From clearing the driveway and patio to bringing out sleds to enjoy Monument’s first snowfall, they were more than generous with their hospitality. It was the perfect place to ring in the new year with friends. Thank you Judy and Kelly!!
