The house itself is nice - much larger than the pictures imply. The views from the back windows and and deck were beautiful...but...immediately between the house and the lake is the primary access road and parking for the public and there were muffler-less trucks and other large vehicles going back and forth from sun up til nearly midnight. The worst were from dark - midnight when groups would gather to drink, smoke pot, and hang out lakeside...right in front of the house. Additionally, the house was minimally supplied - no extra garbage bags or storage bags or other accessories commonly found in a VRBO.

Very comfortable place with lots of room for guests and a wonderful kitchen for entertaining.

This property is modern, clean and is in a very good location. We would definitely stay here again. It accommodated our group of 13 very well. There was plenty of living space, kitchen and dining space, bathrooms and bedroom space. The home is in a newer suburban style residential neighborhood, and backs to monument lake. The lake and mountains are very picturesque from the back deck and windows. The lake is accessible to the public and was fairly active during our stay with people fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc. The lake is just a short walk across the gravel road/parking area. The paddle boards and kayaks provided with the home were a big hit with our kids. The home is close to good shopping and dining options. It is roughly 30-75 minutes drive to most of the area attractions such as Pike’s Peak, garden of the gods, the Royal Gorge, etc. Some recommendations for the owners to improve this already great property include: making sure that light bulbs are regularly replaced (we had 6 or 7 bulbs out), additional TVs in the main living area and bedrooms for down times, local news and weather, etc. (during our stay there was just one TV, which was located in the common area on the lower level), and a blind over the window next to the front porch. There is a small window next to the front porch that looks directly into the hallway and second upper level bedroom/bathroom area. We needed to close the bedroom door at night to prevent the bedroom from being directly visible to any potential person outside on the front porch. The house is located in a very safe area, but a small blind there would provide an additional feeling of security and privacy. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.
