We had a delightful time during our Colorado Springs trip. The house was perfect. The owners went above and beyond to add joy to our trip. The house has breathtaking views of the city. We enjoyed our nightly visits with the deer living in the area. It was a perfect weekend.

The property is centrally located so that all the great attractions are within a 2 to 3 hour drive. Most are within 30 minutes. Loved having the deer pay us a visit every morning. And being from Florida we appreciated the cooler air!

Beautiful home in a perfect location for a Colorado Springs trip. Very close to Garden of the Gods and within 20 minutes of North Cheyenne Canyon where we enjoy hiking and 20 minutes from USAFA. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch and taking in the evening views of Colorado Springs as well as taking walks around the area. The owners were excellent with communication before and during our stay. Highly recommended.

We stayed at property 2 years ago over Labor Day Weekend (Parents weekend at USAFA). We knew then we wanted to stay again for our cadet’s graduation week. The hosts Joan & Bryan are always gracious and on point. This time we also rented the apartment because we had a larger group. Everything was perfect and they even did some extra things for our USAFA graduation. The house has everything you need both in furnishings and beauty to have a great time. Our only regret is our cadet graduated and we don’t know when we will be back in Colorado Springs.

Well appointed home that had a castle-like theme with a turret, painted in a Princess theme with a round table in center of turret. My 5 year old granddaughter fully appreciated. There was an on-site observatory built that the host more than happily gave tours. Accommodations were plentiful for my group of 9 that include three kids! Conveniently located to area sight seeing venues and of course, the mall for the shoppers in my group! The hosts checked in several times during our six day stay to ensure all was well! Highly recommend as the ratings indicate! . Keith Bishop and Family

We had such a great time! This property was even better than the pictures presented, and was the best equipped property we have stayed at, everything we needed! Views were amazing and we were lucky enough to be able to tour the observatory. Overall just a wonderful stay at a beautiful location.
