Beautiful property and a lovely updated clean and well decorated home. Very comfortable and had lots of utensils and other items in the kitchen so we could easily cook which we like to do. Adorable cafes around the corner, but a little removed from the city hub a bub which was really nice coming from orlando florida. Loved the peace and quiet. Had a deer come up to our glass door it was so beautiful. The main bedroom does get a bit hot in the morning, but it was a good way to wake up and not sleep too long. Lots of wonderful amenities and close to the sites like garden of the gods was only twenty minutes. Wish there was shade for the car to park under. We had been parking under a sliver of shade of a tree but the owners came home on our last day and drove a railroad spike so we couldn't do that anymore. I found that odd and unsettling. The trip was definitely more comfortable because they were away for most of it. Their home is directly across from the cottage so it was a bit weird after that feeling like they were watching us. There was nothing in front of the tree but dirt so there was no reason for that and it soured the end of our perfect trip a bit.

The Hummingbird Guest Cottage was perfect for the 3 of us for our 5 night stay while attending Parents Weekend at USAFA. The cottage was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the hosts, Mark & Angela were quick to respond to messages and very friendly. We enjoyed seeing deer and wild turkey on the property as well. Would stay there again!

This was our second visit to The Hummingbird Cottage, we were able to stay for almost 5 weeks this time, obviously we love it! Very comfortable for us retirees, feels like a "home away from home" to us. The peacefulness of being half a mile away from a busy road & encroaching subdivisions was wonderful...traffic is very busy throughout most of the Colorado Springs area, and this is a true retreat in the Black Forest. The owners home and ceramics studio are the only other buildings by the cottage, and the owners are great folks! Very friendly and quick to respond to any contact we initiated with them. So many extra touches: basket of snacks, toiletries in bathrooms, flower garden & deck plants, spices & condiments, laundry & cleaning supplies, nightlights, reading material, super comfortable beds & pillows (lots of pillows!). We hope to stay here each time we visit this area.

The cottage felt like home the moment we walked in and the property is beautiful. We had mountains views and saw all kinds of birds and wildlife right outside our window every day! The property is very private and quiet.
The hosts were amazing. They were very welcoming and they had everything we needed for our stay. From toiletries to luxury towels, kitchen essentials and a welcome basket, everything was perfect.
We would 100% recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a getaway in Colorado Springs.

Charming, rustic cottage - close to town but felt we were deep in the country - very peaceful! Loved seeing the deer & hummingbirds on the property. Owners were very pleasant & easy to get along with. Great place to spend our down time while we were not attending wedding events or sightseeing.

Outstanding! Loved every inch of this cottage; so well-decorated; so welcoming. Super clean! Would love to stay here again and again. Luxurious linens; plush bath towels; specialty bathroom soaps; a variety of condiments so you don't have to buy a full jar or bottle that you'll never use up. And the hosts were very responsive and helpful. This is the place to stay when visiting Colorado Springs and nearby towns!!

Beautiful little cottage, with enough room for 4. Very clean and well kept. The grounds were beautiful as well. Lots of birds, evidence of deer. The owners were responsive and easy to contact. The only not so positive issue was the water pressure in the kitchen. Owners definitely tried to repair but could not during our stay. We made do, and had a wonderful time.

Wonderful retreat on the southern edge of the Black Forest area of Colorado Springs. We stayed for 34 days, all of June and first days of July. So restful to get away from the busy traffic in most of the area. We have family that live nearby in Meridian Ranch and it was a pretty drive on country roads to go visit them.

Peaceful
We had a wonderful stay. We had everything we needed. It was just outside of town on the main house property and was so quiet and safe. We were 15-20 min drive to everything we wanted to see and a Walmart close by for groceries. The house had everything we needed. We had a wonder stay!

Extremely Pleasant
I stayed here for a week with my father and we both loved the property. My father enjoyed the cottage and learning all about the owner’s’ family history. As we were coming back from the springs we saw a herd of mule deer on the property, very cute. Loved the gift basket of snacks, the chex mix was perfect for our hikes. The bottle of water and chocolate mint next to the beds was a pleasant surprise. Definitely recommend for anybody who needs to getaway .

Wonderful experience!
We had such a wonderful time. The cottage is secluded but close by to all amenities. The furnishings were cozy and immaculate. We took this vacation to unwind and relax. Mark and Angela were perfect hosts. Checking in to make sure everything was ok and went out of their way to remove all products that contained coconut that James is allergic to. There was a welcome basket with treats and Angela brought over delicious homemade strawberry jam. We could not have asked for a more perfect getaway and will definitely stay again at our next vacation in the Springs. Five star plus all the way. Thank you for your warm hospitality

Beautiful Country Oasis
We stayed almost a month and enjoyed everyday. Angela and Mark are very friendly and such good neighbors. Plenty of room to spread out. Plenty of trails to explore. My only con would be a newer TV. It truly is a beautiful country oasis in Black Forest.
Close to everything near Colorado Springs.

Fantastic Experience in Colorado Springs
Mark and Angela were wonderful hosts. We arrived to a spotless cottage that was more than welcoming. The house was exactly as it was described which made things so much less stressful when traveling with young children. The amenities were perfect with all details well thought out. Definitely enjoyed our stay, thank you again so much!

Charming country retreat near to Colorado Springs
My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in June. The cabin is a charming country retreat. It has a full and well stocked kitchen, you could prepare Thanksgiving dinner with all of the pots, pans and plates available. Appreciated that there were condiments in the fridge to use. The cabin has lot's of nice extra's for your stay, we even found sleeping masks and ear plugs the bedroom dresser. The cabin is filled with the Bissels' family pictures and we enjoyed talking with Mark about his family and working ranch. 160 acres are available for walking and taking in the peace and quite of the countryside. Lot's of wildlife to see.
The only thing missing was a guest information book which would and been helpful to have about how the cabin works and where you can walk on the property. Other than that I would highly recommend the place.

Beautiful Stay!!!
Mark’s place is wonderful! It’s remote enough to relax and feel peace yet close enough to civilization! The cottage was super clean and they have anything and everything you would need to enjoy your stay! I had a chance to speak with Mark for a bit and he’s a stand up man with a great heart and mind. We really enjoyed the wildlife right outside the windows and highly recommend this rental. This is easily a 5 star rental and great value!

Great place to stay!
Four people stayed here for 3 nights, 2 women with their adult daughters for a girls trip. The cottage was spacious, well maintained and very clean. The mattresses, pillows, bedding and towels were of the best quality and very comfortable.
Mark and Angela had thought of everything that you might need and then some. Two welcoming baskets of snacks and fresh fruit were waiting for us upon our arrival. Angela asked us if there was anything they could improve on to make our stay more comfortable. None of us could think of a single thing. It felt like we were visiting some of our family. We will definately be back, but this time we hope to stay longer. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay!
