Upon arrival at the property we discovered that the property had not been cleaned as described by the cleaners and by the host as well. The bed sheets, covers, mattress protectors were badly soiled with blood and spots all over. We contacted the host via the app trying resolve this issue and was told that they really cared about customer service, but upon further requests it was obvious they did not care at all. We submitted pictures of the badly soiled beds to the host and also the property management team, only to be told that they believed the cleaning team had done their job 2 days prior. Those beds have not been cleaned in a long time! I would love to be able to show pictures on here showing how disgusting they were. I also tried getting some type of reimbursement from them, and also Vrbo but no one cared and that our concerns were minor issues that were just trivial. I will never ever use this company again and I highly discourage anyone else from ever renting from this host! The pictures on the description don’t show you the filthy, disgusting condition of the beds and the bathroom. We had to go and buy disinfectant wipes to clean the toilet and bath tub before we could even use them. We left the property the next morning and refused to stay for the remainder of our intended stay. We rented a hotel that was 10 times cleaner than this property. Absolutely terrible host!! DO NOT RENT THIS PLACE!

Enjoyed the home and its location near a small neighborhood with local shops, food and lake. Access to interstate was close so easy to get around Monument and Colorado Springs. The house had everything we needed and we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location: close to CS without being in the city. Hot tub was a nice touch! Owners quick to respond to questions.

The house was inviting with plenty of room, and it was clean.
I wish we had a better view to the mountains, but, overall, a nice place.
The driveway to get to the unit was tight if the house in front of it had vehicles parked too far over.

The rental unit was perfect, clean and had all the comforts necessary to enjoy our stay in Monument. Was a nice place to get away from the hectic pace of life and reflect upon the finer simple pleasures away from all the distractions of and follies of daily survival.The area reminded me of the small town I grew up in before everything was gentrified and developed into an urban jungle.

The house was cute and had everything we needed. We stayed for a week.
The value was good. It was affordable and all 6 of us were comfortable.
I read previous reviews and the owners have really stepped up and responded to requests like mirrors in bedrooms and additional window coverings for privacy.
The location was the least satisfactory part of our stay. It was more remote than I realized. There was a second Vrbo on the property (the main house) and the other families kept partially parking on the driveway blocking us in. We had to back down a long, narrow driveway to get out.
There were signs up asking for quiet hours to start at 7. I understand there are neighbors, but I thought the hours were very restricting.

Close to Air Force Base and Colorado.

We noticed the first day that there were ants in the kitchen and living room area. We have a 9 month old that is on the move so we were constantly killing them as we saw them. The couch was pretty dirty. We laid extra sheets over it as we did not feel comfortable sitting on it otherwise. It is nicely decorated and the hot tub was great! Since this was/is a garage, it sits behind the house and there is no where to turn around. You either have to back in or reverse out to the street.
4.4
The beds were comfortable and the hot tub was a nice touch! Overall it was a nice place to stay, but there were a few things that were missed such as:
- We could not get the outside string lights over the hot tub to work, maybe the outlet is broken?
- The side yard was neat, but the grass was very tall and needed cutting.
- The couch in the living room was comfortable, but very worn out.
- The floors were not completely swept as we noticed some grittiness walking bearfoot.
The location was very convienent to downtown Monument and Lake Palmer, so that was a big plus for us!

I’m sad to leave this review because we did overall enjoy our stay. The cottage was adequate, in a nice area, and was ideal for our weekend stay. There were a few minor “issues” during our stay, such as the couch having a large rip on the back of it, the washing machine is moldy/mildewy, some areas were noticeably not thoroughly cleaned when we arrived (see the corresponding listing for a house on the property where reviews note that the cleaners are not very thorough/detailed), and the large window on the front door creates a lack of privacy (which I see multiple people have previously commented on and apparently still yet to be resolved….). Our biggest issue came after we checked out and were told that a “large” urine stain was left on one of the beds that soaked all the way through the mattress cover and onto the mattress. Myself, my husband, nor my child peed on the bed. I am 100% certain we did not cause this and I believe that IF there was even a stain it was left before we got there and under the covers that we never pulled back. It is a decent place but apparently if you decide to stay here you should make sure to take pictures when you arrive so you are not wrongly blamed for damage when you leave.

This little cottage was perfect for me and my partner! The location is great. Perfect distance from shops and restaurants. Close to the interstate to head to Colorado Springs, Castle Rock/Denver. Would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for having us!

The bed was comfortable, location was great and the hot tub was a relaxing bonus. The property manger was quick to answer questions and concerns upon arrival. We will definitely stay here again.
