Overall the property was spacious and worked fine. However, I gave an overall 4 because of a few things... 1) After unpacking we went to sit down in the upstairs living room and 2 of us that sat on the end portions of the sectional about went over backwards! The end units are recliners and seem to be so worn out that they go to the reclining position too easily. Fabric is well worn - not what pictured. Needs replaced. 2) . The microwave only worked using the "1" button. On the 3rd day it started sparking. So we discontinued use and notified the contact on Sunday morning relatively early. We had a countertop microwave on our doorstep within 40 minutes. So very much appreciated that! However, the fact remains, the microwave really was in questionable working order upon arriving. 3) Little things would definitely improve the stay. Pool cue tips were broke off, kitchen pans were well used, only 2 kitchen towels for drying. Needs a Larger skillet and baking pan - to accommodate a large group (9 adults, 2 kids). Although the beds are all as stated - no one in our group of 9 adults slept well. Mattresses are firmer (not worn out). May be that we just like a different type mattress - but that was an overall comment from all. There are other cosmetic things that need attention. The house is nice, enjoyed the patio and view. Good location. Nice neighborhood. Just needs some attention to a few details and a new sectional unit and it would be amazing!

House is in a good location for convience. Front room coach was in bad shape should be replaced. Sitting room foot outman was broken and should be removed or replaced. Microwave had a error code and did not work. Pool table had a big tear in felt. There was a hole in wall by stairs. Railing on stairs was loose at the bottom and should be repaired. Kids play equipment should be removed as swing canvas was bad and could give out at any time. Lights and fan in front room broken as well as some outlets did not work. We bought and left a new spatula as we could not find one. There was small trash under couch . Shows hot tub in pictures but is not for use of guest. Overall house need some TLC. Garbage disposal locked up and would not drain had to repair my self as contact only replied we would have to wait till next day to try the other number we were allowed to only text same with microwave. If needed I have lots of pictures of everything I am writing from first day and even text them to the contact number they allowed us to contact. Note in bunk room beds in pictures are blow up air mattresses. House is a good size for large family or group. Neighborhood is great for walking and everyone was very nice.

Beautiful house located in a great location close to everything:) This would be perfect for kids or larger families (we only had 3 people) because it has so much space! We loved the outdoor porch and two living spaces and large kitchen. Would definitely stay here again!!

We enjoyed staying at AF Academy Rancher over the Christmas break. Tony was exceptional at helping us when a member of our party had significant health problems and we needed to adjust who would be visiting the property. We notified him of a few things we found that were not in good working order and he was receptive to our communication. This property is close to shopping, restaurants, grocery stores and the Y! It also has a fabulous view of Pikes Peak! Enjoyed our stay!

We had a great time in this house. The house was in a good neighborhood and was very clean. We had 11 people comfortably but had a few on air mattresses provided by the house. What looked loke bunl beds in the pictures were lofted beds so we had a few less beds that we expected. But luckily the younger guys were fine on the air mattresses. Would still rent again!

The people that own/manage this property are hateful and rude. Read all the reviews. Trust them. These people called us stupid and just flat out lie and find reasons to charge people fees for their own faults.

We greatly enjoyed our Colorado Springs family vacation! This house was in a great location and it was very convenient to access major highways and local stores nearby! It was close to everything….I can’t stres enough how convenient this location was for Colorado Springs! The house was perfect for us. It was very well stocked and they were super easy to work with. The check in and check out process was very smooth. We enjoyed everything!

Pool table was crooked and in the worse spot. We couldn’t have access to a lot of spaces crucially needed. Outside house(front and back yard)was dirty. Found old receipts under our beds. Linen smelled of old mold. Was blamed for house falling apart and owner took our damage deposit for old damage not done by us. Refrigerator smelled gross and had to clean. Grill was never cleaned. Found old bed sheets in dryer and smelled of very old mold with an unpleasant smell. I wouldn’t consider this unit. Find something else.

Great location and great home. We could not get the TV downstairs to really work but it was not a huge deal. I guess it just plays movies however there is no remote to hit play. The house is clean and spacious. It will be great when COVID is over-- whenever that may be! and the hot tub is back open. It was clear it was not open when I booked, however having it would be even nicer. The home had all the things we needed for a great stay away from home.

Nice place

Nice place

We enjoyed our stay here. It is in a nice neighbor hood and located in a cul de sac which we liked. It was convenient having a Kings Super nearby as well. A couple small downsides is the park area (Bball and tennis courts, splash pad, etc) was close to the property but not close enough to walk to or send kids there on their own which was disappointing. The back patio overlooks a busy intersection but we still enjoyed our evenings sitting outside. We were also required to not wear our shoes inside which was somewhat inconvenient at times, especially loading and unloading vehicles from the driveway. Overall though, we would book this place again.

This house is very well equipped. It worked great for the part of the family that we had with us. The bedrooms are strategically located to give everyone privacy. It is located in a quiet cul de sac but it backs up to a major street which can be noisy. The house is well insulated so it is really not a problem unless you want to open windows in the back; but the air conditioner works great so there is a remedy. Would stay there again - plenty of comfortabled space (and very well equipped in the kitchen).

We had a great stay! I give it 5 stars. The only thing that was a little confusing was the description of the "bunk" beds. These were bunks with no bottom bed; just a desk. If you think, like I did, that "bunk beds" meant a top and a bottom, don't plan on it. There is no bottom bed. There were nice full size air mattresses to use instead.

Our stay at the house was amazing. Its as wonderful in person as it is in the pictures of the rental. It's straight across the riad from the hospital. Its maybe three minutes from the head quarter of Focus on the Family. It's only 2 1/2 hours to either Raton New Mexico or Cheyenne Wyoming. Your like 15 mins to Cave of the Winds, Seven Falls, Garden of the Gods, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, and Down town Manitou. It was an hour and twenty mins to Royal George Bridge and Royal George Train Ride. This place is just PERFECTLY LOCATED TO ALL THE ATTRACTIONS. Best of all our host was so very kind. Oh and its one hour from Denver Airport. Once again I can not brag enough on our time in the home, Colorado area, and all of the kind people in the area.
