We really enjoyed the mountains. Seen a bear walk by the property. See a lot of deer all over the property. Place was not as advertised, but it was doable. The property was rough and was in a cul-de-sac. Corral drive was really washed out. Not everything worked in the house. The food thing was it was centrally located around a lot of things to do and shopping as needed.

Wonderful large space for a family getaway. The great room was just what we needed for our family. The kitchen was well supplied for our needs

This vacation exceeded our expectations. Beautiful large and cozy house. We had Christmas here with our extended family and we had lots of room and it was absolutely one of the better vacation homes we have stayed at. Nice cozy wooded area, lots of deer, no issues at all. Robyn responded quickly to any questions we had. Any reviews about smells just so you know if booking, well water /cistern water will smell slightly like sulfur especially when doing laundry so this is NORMAL. We live in the mountains off well so this is normal. Love love love this property.

Sign-up now to enjoy the following 3rd world amenities: • A decrepit wooded property with rotting and structurally unsound decks on three sides of this disgusting homestead. Family fun can be had by all in a life-or-death game of Jenga! Just how many family members can you place on this unsound platform! • An incredibly messy kitchen with a filthy counter and “guess the mystery-stain” stools. • Microwave oven doubles as a Wuhan Virus Development and Research Center. • Extra-large family room with a make-believe 65-inch TV and animal hair coating the carpet and furniture. • This property boasts ponderosa and blue spruce pines, many aspens as well as an industrial dumpster in the driveway. • The dumpster is also a mobile circus with nightly visits by the local bear population. • The home even has a dog run in the rear of the property but be careful not to trip on the building materials and uncut weeds. • There is a wood stove in the basement which is a use at your own risk item! Based on the dirt covering every exposed surface in the manger, I doubt the chimney has ever been cleaned and may be a fire hazard. • Three bedrooms are very good sized and smell like something found in a mortuary. • The home has gorgeous tongue and groove ceilings, but you won’t notice them because you are busy trying to secure an unlocked doggie door and scrubbing the dirt off of your clothes and suitcases. • Wood floor, carpet and tile were last cleaned during the Reagan Administration. • Water is limited due to a cistern system which is the size of a KIA’s fuel tank. Be prepared to bring your own water and limit showers to once a month. • During significant weather changes, enjoy the family of vermin that roam the kitchen cabinets! • This has a cabin feel but it should be reclassified as manger living and it can all be yours for a hefty price.

We had a wonderful stay, and the host Robyn was very nice. Her communication with us from the first day was pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed are accommodations as there was plenty of room for the 10 of us. BBQing on the large grill on the deck was very convenient. Our 2 Dogs enjoyed roaming the pet area and basking in the sunlight through the windows on there beds in the large living area. This is a enjoyable space for any large family gathering. Watching the Aspen trees turn colors was a beautiful sight to behold. Would recommend this spacious place to all. Thanks Robyn and Rebbecca for a great experience.

Nice location. Fun layout. Responsive owner! Delightful wildlife visitors. Close proximity to anything a visitor may be looking to do in Colorado.

Had everything we needed to make a great stay. Plenty of parking. amazing view and deck. Outdoor kitchen is the bomb. Hot tub beautifully placed so you had a stellar view!

The owner is very, very nice and quick to communicate with you on anything you need and even gave us suggestions for things to see and places to eat. My family (myself, husband, two teenage daughters, and my dad) stayed for four nights. We were very comfortable with all of us having large bedrooms with comfortable beds to stay in. The living room and kitchen are very large and updated and we were able to spread out but still be together. The morning view of the sunrise over the mountains through her aspen and pine trees is something I’ll remember forever. There are a few more negative reviews here. I’m here to say that we had a great time and we’re comfortable!! One note is that you do have to watch your water usage. We did not have any issue with this and we have teenage daughters who love a good shower. Some people might find this a hinderance but we did not. This home was lovely for our vacation to Colorado Springs. We enjoyed the 20 minute drive to Manitou Springs (where the majority of tourist attractions are). It was refreshing to go back to a quiet, cute town each evening. Thank you Robyn for a lovely stay!

Check in was easy. Location was great, convenient to hiking and downtown Woodland Park. However. There was a strong odor in the house, much worse on the lower, more carpeted, level: a combination of musty smoke residue, animal urine, and strong perfume. My family, my sister’s family, and my single brother were booked here while celebrating my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. The smell downstairs was so bad that my sister and her family started having allergic reactions as they were starting to unpack. They left almost immediately after arrival to find other accommodations. My brother arrived the following afternoon, and also decided he would rather get a hotel room. Instead of the 14 planned, there were 8 of us in the house. We found at least one febreze plug-in in each room downstairs, sometimes two! That perfume-like smell was apparently placed there to cover up the odors beneath. After unplugging them, we opened windows and turned on fans. When we first contacted Robyn, she asked how she could make it better. My sister called to speak to her directly, and ask for a refund; Robyn would only agree to refund the cleaning fee. When we began to threaten legal action, she went radio silent. As of present, she still hasn’t responded, nor refunded the cleaning fee. We kept all the windows open that we safely could, and the fans running. We left early every day to spend time with family at my parents’ home. Thankfully, the temp only got down to the 40s at night. There were other issues, but we could not address them, since Robyn stopped responding to us. This was a disappointing experience, to say the least. My family made do with the property, but we felt stuck. It would have made the whole experience better if the host had been honest about the issues, and then genuinely cared about our concerns, and sincerely tried to make things better. Suggestions: Replace all the carpets downstairs, including the stairs. Make necessary repairs inside the house. Provide a mattress topper for the pullout downstairs. Mow the lawn and repair the gate and the fence. Label each remote, and when there is one missing, replace it. Be transparent about the water tank situation in the listing. If a wash load is not recommended, don’t include “washing machine” in the list of amenities. Get a bear proof dumpster. Don’t advertise on the listing that “smoking is allowed” if you really mean it’s only allowed outdoors. (We're sure that people have misunderstood)

Before you rent this property read ALL the 2019 reviews. We arrived at 4:15 and the owners were working on the property. We knew that the house did not have air (it is listed as "no air" under the amenities). But we thought it would be ok because we could open windows and use fans to help it cool down at night. We were told that we could not open windows. We bought 2 additional fans to use. We also were planning to use the grill to cook at night. We were told the grill did not work. It was too hot to turn on the oven so we ate out. The owners also texted and told us that we needed to limit showers to 5 minutes to conserve water. They left us one towel per person to use. On Tuesday we checked the water level and it was 2 out of 6. We texted the owner and they said water would be delivered on Friday and that Monday when they checked the level was at 3. We said that we needed to do laundry (even towels) and they told us where to find more towels and to wait to do laundry until Friday. We did not have clothes available to us and we had to pay to do laundry ($100). We also did not run the dishwasher so we washed dishes by hand and bought paper plates and cups . The owner told us to buy water to use for drinking and to cook and that it would be fine. On Tuesday night, one room where the bed was right beside the wall had ants all over the wall. The owner said they didn’t have any spray there but if we bought spray they would reimburse us (up to $50). Then there was also a mouse in the bathroom downstairs. We put out traps and killed and disposed of the mouse. This was the point when we decided that we would end this trip early. We were scheduled to be in the house through Monday. We left the house on Friday morning. The main space upstairs is shown in the pictures as having lots of seating. When we got there, it had a couch and two recliners. You could comfortably seat 5 people. Everyone else had to sit in a straight chair or on the floor. Downstairs there is a strong odor in the bedrooms. We were told there were chairs on the deck but they were very dirty and worn out. The yard was very overgrown with random trash in it. When we go on vacation we want to be able to relax. When I told the owner we were leaving early and that we were disappointed. She replied, “I am sorry things weren’t perfect for you.” This was not an issue of things not being perfect. It was an issue of things not being as advertised.

The group loved the cabin and great area. Plenty of room to relax, spread out, and enjoy the mountains while being with friends. The cabin was clean, roomy and comfy. Robyn was a great host. Definitely will be back.

Great space close to Woodland Park that still feels private. Plenty of space for all guests to gather together!

Excellent property and Robin was awesome

This cabin doesn’t have the view of Pikes Peak, but go out the drive turn right and there it is in all its God Created Beauty. We arrived on a raining, foggy day, so we did not see Pikes Peak coming in. The next morning got out of end of driveway, looked right, my sister said oh my gosh look at all that sand on that mountain. I screamed and said, that’s not sand, it’s snow! That’s Pikes Peak❤️Loved it here🥰

Plush rooms, well-equipped bathrooms, many many gourmet kitchen items. Solid furniture with room to arrange the perfect gathering place both upstairs & down. The pictures do not do this space justice. Easy to find & circle drive makes having guests a breeze. We had a great stay!

Great

My friends and I had an absolute blast at this house. The house is big enough for 8 people and the bedrooms are nice and clean, very spacious as well. The upstairs has a lot of space, and the porch has a fantastic view of the hills of colorado, and the backyard is big enough to feel like you have your own privacy. The owner is also very good at getting back to guests with any concerns. Overall, this house and a trip to colorado were specatacular, and this house is a great place to stay.

Place was nasty dirty Smell would make anyone sick. Not as described at all. Very unhappy!!!

The house is roomy, and has a good location, but the pictures make the home look new, it is a much older home and has a distinct “smell”, it could use a deep cleaning, and updating, the yard needed mowing and you had to conserve water or it would run out and you have to wait 2 days for water to be delivered if it does run out, rental price was to high l

Lots of space for our large family visiting the area. We loved the layout and there were more than enough sleeping accomodations. Pretty clean but had a few areas that looked like it could use a deep clean (ie. kitchen ceiling fan). Wonderful living room area and great TV. The cabin was a little dark with some bulbs out. Loved all the windows and the view of the beautiful aspen trees and mountains in the distance. Kitchen and dining was ideal for a big group. It was nice to stay in the mountains and away from the city while still feeling pretty close to everything (15-45 min drives). The owner was easy to reach and very responsive to any questions or needs. It may not be a luxury home, but is probably why it is reasonably priced. I feel it was a good value and overall great experience. Would definitely select this again if the occasion were to arise.

The house is very roomy and there is lots of room for several! The highway is next to the house but it wasn’t a bother at all. Even sitting on the front porch! The only negative I would have is there is only one tv to watch local channels and the other tvs will play dvds. The water supply is a concern but not a big bother! I totally enjoyed my stay and would stay again.

Good value for price! Good location!

This property has pros and cons. Pros first: The owner was responsive and accomodating. The house is very large and has lots of bedroom, living, dining and kitchen space. Has garbage disposal and dishwasher. It was well equipped with kitchen appliances, silverware and pots and pans. The upstairs has lots of light from large windows and surrounded by trees. It is within walking distance to downtown. There is a ping pong table in the second garage bay. Cons: Communication over some aspects of property features was confusing. Although the listing revealed the property was on a cistern, it wasn't until after booking that the owner disclosed the need to conserve water, including taking showers. (When one pays a substantial rental sum, it seems reasonable to be able to use as much water as wanted.) Upond inquiry about the water issue, the owner gave confusing information about whether the tank would be filled for the entire duration of our stay, since we would be responsible for an additional significant water charge if we ran out. Despite promising to have water delivered at no charge during our stay, the tank was not filled (it turned out we did not run out, but we were inconvenienced by the need to conserve water). During check out, there was a disclosure about smoking being permitted, but when asked , the owner claimed smoking was not allowed, but then said she experienced most guests were courteous to smoke outside (a conflict with the claimed no smoking policy). We experienced the master bedroom closet to reek with smoke, so it appears not all guests adhered to her belief. The living room rug had a strong animal urine odor and needed cleaning. The blinds appeared to have not been cleaned in months, having a layer of dust. The ceiling fans also were so caked with dirt, we did not want to turn them on. There were cobwebs on ceiling lights and a spider web in the downstairs bath. That bath also had mjssing tile at the tub. The master bath tub had a slow drain resulting in standing water in the middle of a shower (we had to purchase and use drain opener to make it useable). We found broken glass on the downstairs main room floor. The BBQ grease cup was overflowing and dripping grease (we had to scoop it out). The freezer leaked water twice during our stay (it came from the inside vent at the back of the freezer). The left front stove burner was not adjustable (it was off and high). Not acceptable for a required, excessive cleaning fee!

We enjoyed our stay. The living room is amazing. Plenty of seating and space. I wish the windows in the living room would open. I was a little warm in that room. Large, comfortable beds in each bedroom. The only two negatives: 1) We felt like we were constantly worrying about the water running out (but there was plenty in the end); 2) The main highway is very close to the house so it was noisy when sitting on the deck. But overall we had a great time. Thanks.

This cabin worked wonderfully for our large group of 12 over three days. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare, serve, and clean-up after meals. There was plenty of room for family members to gather in smaller groups to socialize - the kitchen area, living room area, and two open areas downstairs. The wrap-around porch provided yet another area for smaller groups to sit and talk. The porch is gated and there is a dog door into the house that can be opened and blocked as desired. There is also a good-size dog run behind the large pine in the yard. The neighborhood is very quiet and the house is located on a dead-end with an empty lot across the street. Every once in a while, we heard loud traffic from the main road just up the hill. That was rare. The only drawback was the cistern. With limited water, we were extremely conservative with showers and other washing. In a three-night, 2 1/2 day stay, we used about 5/8 of the tank. We were gone during the evenings at family activities, so we had no major meals there. If your group is large and staying more than a few days, you might have to contact Robyn and ask her to get the water truck over for a refill. Overall, we had a great time. The cabin was a peaceful, attractive, large place to spend time renewing ties with family.

We had such a great week in this cabin! It very roomy and comfortable. It was great to wake up and see deer in the yard. Thank you Robyn for a wonderful stay! Couldn't have asked for more!

5 🌟

Very nice property and location. Warm environment to visit with family and friends

We enjoyed the house and the large living room was one of the best features. We could all be in there and we didn't feel squished at all. The bedrooms downstairs were nice and cool. It was an easy house to be in. We woke up to deer in the backyard and the kiddos loved it.

Very spacious!! Breathtaking location! Homeowners were Responsive to my questions. Great vacation!

My nieces/nephews loved this place! Great location!
