Property is nice, but has pros and cons. Pros: Very clean. Fully stocked with everything you would need. Host is thoughtful, even a welcome gift! Creek running through property is beautiful. Plenty of birds, squirrels, and deer to watch. The separate bedrooms in guesthouse was a nice feature to give family members own space. Plenty of room to spread out. Firewood provided. Cons: Property needs a little maintenance/lanscaping work outdoors. Seems a bit overgrown, and too many "decorations". A major one that came as a big lady minute surprise and almost ruined our entire trip was that the Host does not want anyone at property that is not an overnight guest. I disclosed in my communication to the House before my booking was accepted that we would be having family meals together there, consisting of about 12 people, but only 6 would be overnight guests. I booked 10 months in advance. The week of my reservation, 1 week after the final payment request has been received and I made payment. I received a message from the Host letting me know there was suddenly an issue. There weren't going to be any parties, or events, just a family meal, consisting of most all members being over 50 years old, so not a rowdy bunch! We had to instead plan all of our meals out at restaurants, thus taking away the family time memories we wanted for my son's small wedding trip. Other than that, no air conditioning, as it can be a little stuffy at times, even the windows open and fans.

Nice family home with great outdoor space, easy access to local attractions, but in a nice small bedroom community. Host was extremely helpful with lots of local contacts when we encountered some logistical issues with our family reunion in Woodland Park. Would definitely return to property and recommend it to friends.

Our stay at “Creek Side at My Father’s House” was great. It is a wonderful property in a beautiful setting. Lots of room for our family to spread out and a lot to do in the immediate vicinity.

We truly enjoyed are stay at Dana’s beautiful home. With our youngest daughter just graduating we were so very blessed to have the chance to gather all of the kids and my brother-in-law and his wife for a great week of enjoying time together and taking in the beauty of Green Mountain Falls. The deer would visit us each day and add to our enjoyment. Thanks so much Dana!!

Creekside at My Father’s Cabin was the perfect place for our family vacation to the Colorado Springs area. Big enough for all family members to have their own space, but comfy and intimate enough for a family bonding trip. Dana’s location is just amazing - just minutes from Green Mountain Falls town center, and nearby trailheads for the amazing hiking all around GMF. I really appreciated the accessibility considerations in the bathrooms for my senior parents and Dana went the extra mile to research a list of nearby senior friendly activities for our 3 generation family trip. Dana is responsive, wonderful, and considerate - there was never a concern with any issue and her communication was fantastic. Cannot recommend this stay enough for those looking to spend the time in Colorado Springs - but tucked away in their own corner of mountain living heaven.

The property was charming. We enjoyed cooling down in creek every day after our hikes. Patio was lovely for relaxing.

We spent part of our large family vacation at a nice resort in Colorado Springs but we also wanted to spend a few days in a more remote spot in the mountains. This was the perfect location. Small town with a bar and a breakfast/lunch spot. Very quiet and close to hiking. But within 10 minutes of Starbucks, Walmart, etc so anything you need. And the creek running through the back yard near the patio was fantastic. Coffee along the creek every morning and drinks there in the evening. Perfect few days for our family. Dana was a fantastic host!

Each of our four family members had their choice of nicely decorated rooms. Well equipped for a larger group, the beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were like new. TVs in every room if we weren’t playing table tennis, relaxing on the hammock, or swinging. Pretty kitchen with new appliances. Plenty of creekside patio seating to watch deer roam by! Lovely, updated cottage perfectly located near trails, dining, the North Pole, and Pikes Peak.
