My wife Ann and I own 6 of the top properties in Colorado Springs, our company is named Adventure Homes. You can see more pictures of our houses on Instagram by looking up #adventurehomesco

The property is also full of wildlife. Three herds of deer criss-cross our land daily and there is a little fox that sometimes hides under our deck.

Perfect for families: pack and play, 16 foot shuffle board table, jungle gym (tree house), geodome, rope swings

» 15 min drive to the Air Force Academy
» 25 min to downtown Colorado Springs

At this house, you will see lots of bunnies, squirrels, dear, wood peckers, and songbirds. And there is a chance if you are lucky that you will see an owl, a raccoon, coyote, or a fox. We even had a small bear in the neighborhood this summer. Keep your eyes open. It’s almost a guarantee that you will see Pronghorn in the meadows as you drive into town about three min from our house.

Even though the house is in the mountains off a dirt road it is also located within ten minutes of Walmart, Target, King Supers, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Arby’s, Fitness Centers, YMCA, Wells Fargo, a brand new splash park, Spas, a hospital, and pretty much everything else.

Entire space is included in this rental. Please, make yourself at home.

We are available for you as much or as little as you need us! We have people ready to serve your needs, should they arise!

I stayed here for the weekend for my sisters bachelorette party. The house is gorgeous and so spacious. Your just far away from the city to get the feeling that your in the woods but close enough to make a quick target run if needed. The rooms were so big and over all the layout was perfect. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here. You wont be disappointed!

Needs a lot of improvement! A) Supplies and kitchen utensils ( pots and pans) were very minimal. We had to buy simple staple items like salt and pepper that should be a stocked item in rental. ( especially for the price! We are a non profit for DV survivors and we had to use more funds for things that should have been available yet had to go buy them all.) B) The chair in the living room has a leg that is not attached so one of our attendees almost fell out of chair. C) water backed up in tubs the first night and in master leaked all over the floor. D) hole in wall behind door in master bedroom E) loose board in 1/2 bath off kitchen F) All bunk beds not safe! ( stairs, springs and way put up) G) pull out bed downstairs is broken H) steps on bunk beds upstairs are not safe I) Tile above stove fell off, and burners are not working properly J) Ice maker doesn't work K) Only master bed and west queen bed are really of any comfort at all so house really only sleeps 4 comfortably and only 10 or 11 safely. L) bunk beds upstairs springs are poking through M) Bathroom door upstairs sticks N) closet doors come off tracks O) Patio railing is loose P) sliding glass door handle on left side is loose Q) hand rails on left of stairs are loose R) handles on bunk bed drawers falling off S) communication with you was hard. I personally left messages with questions before we arrived as did our Directors, and we never received communication back. Not a great impression and We will not be staying again.

The property was very beautiful. Setting up the reservation was easy and the owners were very responsive when I asked several questions prior to booking. We really enjoyed our stay and it was a much needed getaway. I emailed the property manager the day we arrived with a question and never heard back, however it was nothing urgent and I had the owners phone numbers in the event something was urgent. We would definitely stay here again and are already talking about when to plan our next trip. It is absolutely beautiful. Really short drive to all the stores etc but out in the country with peace and quiet.

Great property, amazing back yard - a little far from Co. Springs attractions

Great property, amazing back yard - a little far from Co. Springs attractions

We spent 4 nights at this property as a getaway week. There were two families with 4 adults, 3 kids 8-12 years old and we could have easily had twice the people. Lots of room both inside and out for the kids to play and adults to relax. The backyard was so great for all of us. We made a fire each night and kids enjoyed the big tree swing. One thing to keep in mind though is that while the house is set on 3 acres, sound travels out there and there are neighbors close by that apparently complained about the noise. I didn't think we were super loud, but also i didn't think it was unreasonable that we were asked to keep it down. Just know that it's not like you're on an isolated property. Location-wise, we found that each day we got out for activities (Manitou, Garden of the Gods, Zoo, Broadmoor), we drove 30-40 minutes to the same general area. So if we were going again and wanted to do all of those things, we'd probably look for a place closer to south Co Springs. But if that's not your bag or you can't find a place closer, this is a fun place. Lastly, the AC went out in the house the last day we were there, which probably would only be an issue the week we were there as it was in the upper 80s. While the home owner was initially very responsive via text, she was unable to get a legitimate AC repair person out there, so we didn't have AC that night. She first sent her teenage son, then a dude that was high and told us outright anything he knew about AC repair was what he could find on YouTube. So he banged on stuff in the crawlspace for a while but no actual repair. A little uncomfortable but not the end of the world.

Great family vacation spot

Great family vacation spot

We were very happy with this property! My husband and I and our three daughters and their families stayed here for a week. We were comfortably able to give each family their own space. The kitchen was very roomy and made meals easy to prepare. The outside had a nice play area for little kids. We didn't get to enjoy a campfire in the fire ring because of a burn ban going on. No down side for this property. Highly satisfied!!

This is a lovely house in the woods outside of Colorado Springs. Easy to get to all the local attractions. There is SO MUCH room. We did not even fill all the bedrooms. My kids loved the play set and swing. I had no problem with the neighbor, and we had a nice fire for smores. Just call the fire department first so they know. Over all great stay.

Great time. Some frustrations.

Great time. Some frustrations.

Overall, the property was amazing. It was secluded but close to town. The best of both worlds. The number of beds, cleanliness of the property and outdoor spaces were a plus. We spent a significant amount of time outside and our children ranging in age from 1-21 all had stuff to do. They were happy which made all Th adults happy! We had planned to do all of our cooking for our guests in the home but I will admit it was difficult as the kitchen was under stocked in terms of equipment. Things like serving dishes, variety of pots and pans, measuring cups, etc were hard to come by. It took lots of creativity on our part. We had originally booked for four additional guests than ended up staying due to a last minute surgery. Also, the security deposit still hasn’t been refunded to my account and we were not notified of any violation that would justify not refunding it. I’m finding myself frustrated with the ability to communicate about this with the property manager but I’m hopeful it will still get resolved. So long as I can get the deposit back and a refund for the guests that did not stay the night, I would recommend this location to a friend and I would gladly stay here again. It was a wonderful family experience.

We traveled to Colorado Springs to attend a funeral for a family member. This house was perfect for kids and they enjoyed all the outdoor activities on site. It was really clean, the owner was accommodating and responded quickly. It felt like a we were in a cabin in the mountains but we were only 15 minutes away from where we needed to be in town.

It was so wonderful to pull up to our vacation rental and feel like we were in a fairytale. My children could explore for hours outside and not get bored! They didn’t want to come inside, even when it got dark! The fire pit was magical at night, and our family enjoyed connecting in such a beautiful home. We cannot wait to go back!

We had a large gathering for a family reunion with people varying in age from toddlers to great grandparents and everyone really enjoyed it. The home is recently remodeled, in excellent condition, and overall very clean. Everything was working properly and the kitchen was reasonably equipped. I didn't see many kitchen appliances, but it had plenty of dishes and even a Keurig coffee and tea machine. The wifi worked well, even with multiple teenagers on their phones nonstop. The smaller kids really enjoyed the playset in the yard. We enjoyed walking around the area and even found a German microbrew nearby that was within walking distance. The only downside was that the outdoor fire pit that is so prominent in the listing cannot actually be used. Unfortunately, due to fire risk in the area, it appears that you can very rarely have an outdoor wood fire. While this is certainly no fault of the owner, the listing could have made this much more apparent.
