My family wanted a quiet place in the garden of the gods for our familys Girls Birthday Retreat(mother me and daughter all within a week).
This place is like home away from home plus some.
Has room for the whole family. Full kitchen and a game room! A hot tub for max relaxing. r
Rockers for good ole porch sitting sessions. A fire pit grill and a gorgeous yard with a view to boot. Everything worked save the jucuzzi in the master bath but that might have been a user error.
With the space view privacy closeness to the garden (just 10 min drive) and amenities our family will definitely be putting this on our favorite places to stay list

Our family of 5 (2 adults, 2 kids under 12 and our dog) loved our stay at the Walnut Hill house. The house was exactly as described, clean and plenty of space. And the properttly was huge, tons of exploring for us and the kids loved the hot tub and fire pit. There were tons of hicking trails with waterfalls and rocks to climb on near by. Couldnt ask for a better trip.

This is a nice, clean place conpared to other dog-friendly rentals. The rooms are a good size and plenty of room for our dog to explore. My uncle loved the huge tv with all of his cable channels he watches.The area is quiet, which is a plus for us. I'm kicking myself for forgetting to bring our telescope, but we were able to see a few falling stars. Would use again.

We absolutely loved the property. It is such a gorgeous, quiet setting out in the country that it lets you forget about the rest of the world for a while. No traffic noise, no sirens, no light pollution, just birds and bugs and dark, starry nights.
The house was larger than expected and offered lots of little zones where people could sit and talk or play board games. The kitchen was large and well-stocked with pots, pans, utensils, dishes, etc. Loved having a washer and dryer for clothes and towels (towels provided). Perhaps the most important amenity, the air conditioning, worked great and kept us comfy during our HOT July visit.
The property owner is friendly, communicative, and ready to offer recommendations for local attractions. They live close by and told us to reach out if we needed anything at all during our stay.
I can see us going back.

We were there to hike but spent a lot of time indoors due to weather.

The property was large and beautiful. We loved the rocking chairs and firepit. Starter supplies were provided, including linens and towels. The kitchen had plenty of cookware, dishes, and space to make meals. We appreciated multiple beds, since our Girl Scouts like their own space.
Everything was clean and welcoming.
I'd highly recommend purchasing your groceries on your way into town, as the property is a decent drive to Walmart. If you're spending time at the house & cooking, bring your own extra paper towels, foil, bags, etc. We didn't think about those things prior.
Wonderful stay. We would return!

We planned this vacation in advance
About 4 months before vacation day, I was rushed to the hospital and have been convalescing ever since. It was was wonderful spending a carefree and undtressful week with my husband and kids. The house is absolutely gorgeous, the hosts were fantastic. Thank you for everything.

We came to Shawnee for the hikes. This was very close, including short trails on the property. The property was very clean and included necessities for the 1st night. Thanks, Elizabeth, for having the answers to all our questions for our group.

This home was in a quiet area. It was a pleasure watching the deer. The home was clean; the kitchen was very large.
The kids enjoyed the air hockey game. The back deck was nice to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. There was a ramp going to the front porch which made the home easily accessible for my son. We had a great time!

Close to hiking trails and the space was big for our family! We were completely comfortable with how clean it was and had supplies to clean up afterwards. Great communication from the host! Made everything easy for our check in.

My family and i really enjoyed the house, it was very beautiful. The back deck was so perfect for morning coffee, talking and seeing the deer. At night you hear the baby coyotes barking and playing. It was the best time we have had together, none of us wanted to leave..
Thank you Elizabeth for opening your home, we will definitely be back..

The house is located on a beautiful piece of property minutes from Garden of the Gods and other great trails. The house is roomy, well equipped, and has a great porch for just listening to nature. We used both the outdoor grill and the fire pit. the Host communicated very well and we would definitely recommend this property for groups of friends or a large family.

We where 5 moms and 6 kids and had the time of our life's! Hiking, bonfire, playing outside all day long, away from technology and the city stress. we had everything we wished for and Elizbeth is such lovely host. We are coming for sure back, maybe even this year to see the leaves change in fall. 100% recommend!

Exactly what we expected!
Great property. Very spacious with great WiFi (needed for spotty cellular coverage). Close enough to all the trails we wanted to hit. Would definitely revisit. Visited with 2 adult children and one teenager. Could have brought a couple friends. Could see a horses grazing while sitting on the back 50 ft covered porch.

Large roomy house, big enough for two families
I wish we would have stayed longer and enjoyed all this house had to offer. The back of the house has a porch that overlooks the land and a fire pit with plenty of firewood.
The house had everything we needed and plenty of room for our family of 5 and dog.
The check in process could be improved. We had a little hiccup in the process that was fixed immediately but we did have to return to the outpost to do the paperwork the next day. I feel like all of this could be done paperless now with all the technology we have (with the paper option for those who want it) and we could have been given our entry code and directions the morning of our check-in. It’s just more complicated for someone who is driving in from hours away and late at night.

Relaxing, Beautiful Stay

Had a great time exploring the area
The house was perfect for what we were looking for: quiet and secluded with lots of room to roam. The layout is nice and spread out, and being able to do laundry for our muddy kids was great. We will come back someday for sure!

What a Surprise!
We were not able to have our entire group join us on this vacation - but despite that disappointment, we had a great time. We enjoyed the property and the remote/quiet location. When my car needed a jumpstart one morning, the property sent someone to start the car within minutes. Very responsive. Very clean - very peaceful. Yes, if I return to the area, I would stay there again.

Family Weekend Getaway
Our family of 14 (9 adults and 5 children) stayed here over the weekend. We really enjoyed spending time on the back porch, the huge back yard for playing games, and sitting around the fire pit one evening. The big open kitchen and dining area was a big plus for us. The house is secluded so we could have time to ourselves, but yet it was not far from Garden of the Gods, Rim Rock, and Pounds Hollow. There are lots of hiking opportunities in the area. The owners were very helpful with any questions that we had.

The house was perfect for our family vacation. It was one level which was good for my older parents. I would absolutely recommend this house.

Country oasis
Property was nice for our group of eleven. Stargazing at night was amazing. Lots of cabinets and space for storage. A couple of notes the bedroom arrangement wasn't quite what was listed online.... the bunk room just had full bunk beds and the game room had one twin with another trudle bed underneath it. Kitchen had seemed to be hit or miss on equipment. Also the beds were on the softer side and were very loud when you rolled over (not in the master but in the other bedrooms with queen beds). This would be okay if you are by yourself as the problem was less near the middle of the bed but when sleeping as a couple made sleeping difficult.

Speechless!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property or our stay here!!! It was absolutely amazing! The property was even better than what the pictures show, check-in/out was the easiest I have ever experienced, the Outpost and staff are the BEST, and this location is *perfect*! This was our first "whole family together" vacation (us, all our kids, and all our grandkids under one roof) and I am so glad this was where it happened! From morning coffee on the porch (which you just have to see to believe) to late night air hockey and poker tournaments and a LOT of outdoor time in between, this house will fit a lot of activity (and love)! The Walnut Hill home will forever hold a special place in our hearts and is definitely a "return to vacation destination" for our WHOLE family! Thank you for providing such a great space for families to make lifelong memories. I know I said it in the beginning, but I just do not have enough words to describe how much of a treasure this place is!

Nice property and good location
Our family had a nice stay at the property. It’s in a great location to explore the Shawnee area. We had a good recommendation for dinner from Elizabeth to visit E town river restaurant and had a great time there. The house was very nice and very clean. Thanks for the great time!
