It was very nice and enjoyable. The house was perfect for my wife & I and our 5 year old daughter! There's a beautiful creek that runs through the property and the location is perfect to get out of town, but also be close enough to get their quickly if you need something. 5 stars!!

No issues. Great stay. Wish there was bathroom:water source upstairs.

If you are wanting to get away, this place is it. Very large property, very private, no one to bother you. Approximately 20min away from anything. We are a family of four with a teen and preteen. Never ran out of things to do outside during the day, and plenty of internet to watch movies at night. The kids loved climbing the literal mountain on the property and searching for giant quartz rocks. Amazing view of Pikes Peak. All the beds were comfortable and plenty of linens. The kitchen was well stocked and the outdoor grill was very nice. As other reviews point out, the only bathroom is downstairs and the living room and bedrooms are upstairs. No big deal for us. They also point out there is no A/C. You don't need it. The house might get a little warm during a summer day, but at no point is it uncomfortable and as soon as the sun goes down you're going to be reaching for a sweater. As warned by the property owners, the final 1/4mi of road up to the house is kind of rough. Any SUV will be able to make it, leave your sports car at home. We would ABSOLUTELY rent this home again.

The stay started off a little rocky, but that was due to county permits. Julia, the owner, assured us and made us feel comfortable with the new process every step of the way. Upon arrival, the house was clean and exactly as the pictures showed. The only downside to this property....no air conditioning! At night and in the morning and mid morning it was great, but in the middle of the afternoon, in July!! It was so hot! 78-82 in the house. It would have been nice if the owner would have disclosed the fact there was no air conditioning in the house. We brought our own canopy to put on the deck . I highly recommend in the summer! But the creek was our relief. Nice and cool, clean water! I definitely recommend staying here. The views are amazing and you will not regret it! Our son is stationed at Fort Carson for a couple years and we will definitely stay here again!! Thank you Julia for all the hassle the county Karen caused! And I hope all is well your husband. Also, thank your son for his service to our country! God Bless!

The owner did not provide clear instructions in the house concerning checkout. I went by the instructions provided in the lease agreement, however the process for trash removal was wrong, cost me an extra 75$, also has oven was faulty and would set off carbon monoxide sensors

The property was beautiful and our host made sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend this home for all families. The wildlife and home are amazing.

This is a nice spot for a relaxing getaway. The house is very clean and comfortable and the view is amazing. It's quiet and peaceful, although a bit remote, and quite a bit farther from CO Springs/Manitou than the title of the listing suggests. We were told a 4-wheel drive vehicle would be helpful, but the driveway had not been plowed at all from recent snow, so even with a Ford F-150, we were unable to drive up to the house without help from a very friendly neighbor with a tractor and plow. After a rough beginning, the rest of our stay was truly very nice.

Great getaway at mountain location!
