Stayed 4 days wish it had been lots more. The house is beautiful and in a peaceful forest setting. The inside is decorated with the owners personal art work that is truly special. The bedrooms are large and comfortable. The kitchen is fully functional for cooking full meals if one desires. We loved the patio and outside since we could sit outside at any time and feel the forest all around us. Everyday we saw deer at the fence or in the woods and the birds gave us lots of entertainment. Check out the treehouse. If we could give the house and the owners 6 scores we would. 5 is only perfect they deserve 6 for being better than perfect.

Came for a wedding and made a vacation out of it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this very well kept rental with everything we needed and more. We loved the hosts who were so accommodating.

Michelle and Rick are wonderful hosts! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals - instapot and electric skillet. There is more, but we didn't get to it. Also, a lot of seasonings are at the ready so you don't have to buy those items. A great selection of movies, plus the quiet of the area made USAFA parents weekend a success. Highly recommend!

Such a cute place! We stayed for 5 nights. Apartment in the Pines was super clean, well stocked and very cute. Owners are artists and the apartment has their work displayed, loved it! In fact, I’m inspired to sign up for an art class (maybe pottery too) when I get home. Chewy, their dog, is super friendly and nice to have around. Great experience overall, well designed, great hosts, great location!

They were very accommodating and friendly. They loaned us some items that allowed us get full enjoyment out of our visit with our son at the Air Force Academy. Since we are traveling we didn’t have anything and didn’t want to buy for just a couple hours. They sat on the patio with us and we had a great conversation. 5 stars all the way!!!

We were in the area for a special surprise party for a friend at a friends house nearby. It was only 8 miles away so super convenient. We were there mainly just to sleep, but if anyone is looking for a place to visit Colorado Springs, it's close enough to town, yet in the "country".

The place was clean and welcoming with munchies and chocolate! Michelle was very helpful, responsive and kind. The location was perfect for our visit nearby. A strong plus was the outdoor seating and gas fireplace. Will definitely return!

My husband, high school age daughter and I love our stay here! I can't say enough good things about this beautiful place and wonderful hosts, Michelle and Rick. The apartment is beautiful, clean and homey. It is relaxing and quiet. The tree house is so fun. We enjoyed hanging out by the fire in the evenings and in the the mornings we saw birds and deer right from the patio. Rick and Michelle gave us several great suggestions on things to do and places to eat. We drove over to Pikes Peak Cog railway, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the winds, Manitou Springs and also did a local hike in Black Forest. It feels like you are in the forest yet close to Colorado Springs. I highly recommend a stay here!
