Stay was amazing. Very clean.

this little home had all you need for a vacation stay, small kitchen , washer and dryer. The shower was slipper but I told this to the person who came to fix tv and was told this would be taken care of. No complaints except they need to redo instructions on setting up the TV

Cub cottage is an affordable rental option while visiting the Woodland Park area. I was a bit shocked to find that there was no actual door on this rental. As a mom traveling alone with her daughter this was a bit unsettling. This detail isn’t mentioned in the description & I overlooked it when looking at the pictures (I guess I just assumed there would be a door?). It has a glass storm door and a curtain. Other than the door, also worth noting that there isn’t really any outdoor lighting which can make it tricky to access the keypad & gain entry after dark. Parking was tricky at times when there were multiple cars/tenants around. The shower drain was fine during our stay (early Nov ‘23) so issues with that seem to be resolved. Cabin was pretty clean minus a large amount of dog hair behind the nightstands. It does have a great view. To sum it up, it was decent but I probably will opt for another rental when I visit the area again.

Location

Very nice property but the cleaning could be better, dirty dishes, cobwebs, dirty blankets

It was very nice one bedroom one bath. We were so happy to see a washer and dryer full kitchen. We work in construction so staying at a nice play while our rv was being repaired was much needed. It was clean and spacious for two ppl.

While the cottage itself was nice, the shower and eating utensils were dirty, the bath rug tattered and dirty, and tub drained very slowly. The floor laminate was peeling and coming up in many places. The photo of the cabin was deceptive, because although the mountains are clearly in view, the cottage sits very close to many others and within a 100 feet or so from a major highway so it was a bit noisy. If the cabin was cleaned well and had a little TLC it would be much better. On a positive, the location to trails, stores and restaurants was great.

Beautiful location but needs attention. Bed was awful, which has been mentioned in past reviews. Shower doesn’t drain well so you have to shower fast. Floor in kitchen is a trip hazard and needs repair. I hope the owner reads this review.

The main selling point for me as to renting the cub cottage was the view from the sunroom. Very spectacular look at Pike’s Peak!

Great spot just could use new beds and an on demand hot water tank. 5 min shower after tossing and turning all night on one of the most uncomfortable beds I've had to sleep in was a little bit of a bummer. Luckily the view makes up for it somewhat

Great location property was very nice,very clean. We had a issue with the tv and called our host .She was quick to respond and we resolved the problem. I hope she changes the instructions so other guests don't have a problem in the future.

It was a beautiful view and clean cottage however the TV didn’t work at all had to play the DVD player from the bedroom to even work a movie that was limit selections that were left in bedroom and there was little to no hot water to shower.

Cute tiny home with big amenities. Perfect size for my son and girlfriend. Loved that pets were allowed

The location and decoratings were superior. Although this cabin was tiny it had absolutely everything we needed.

Perfect for our mini vacation had everything we needed and more! The location was perfect and convenient for Pikes Peak and Manitou Springs and not too far of a drive from the Royal Gorge. There was a Walmart and restaurants within minutes as well. The drive to and from the cottage was beautiful. Will definitely stay again!

Great little cabin with beautiful views of Pikes Peak! Very cozy, cute and super clean! I'd definitely come back!

This cortaste far surpassed our expectations. Perfect size for our family.

We had a very pleasant stay at the cottage. Beautiful view from the sun porch. Nice set up for comfort. Had some nice walks around the neighborhood. Close to shopping and dining. I would recommend the cottage to others, and may return in July for our next visit.

Very well appointed tiny home with all the comforts of home. Easy to settle back and enjoy a meal at home and enjoy views of Piles Peak

Very nice set up for 2 people, well stocked with supplies and cooking utensils. Appliances all worked great. Plenty of room in refrigerator/freezer for lots of food. Ceiling fans in each room are a great help in keeping the rooms cool in the summer. Unit was very clean on our arrival. Great close location to mountain hikes and shopping. Parking is a bit tight when other units are occupied, but doable. All roads are paved and it's easy to get in and out of complex. Shower doesn't not drain well. Couch and bed are very soft. Road noise from 24 is noticeable with windows open. Fire alarm very sensitive, make sure to have microwave fan on when cooking on the stove top.

Location, location, location.

Pros: great location, decorations are adorable, nice white linens provided, fully stocked kitchen, laundry, comfy bed. Cons: property needs attention. Light bulbs & batteries burned out. Wobbly toilet, grimy appliances, mold in shower along base, dusty decorations, fridge, stove & microwave filthy when we arrived, laundry in dryer, dishes in dishwasher (who wants to deal with that when arriving on a Friday after a day of traveling?). Outside area full of weeds. Water is shut off at different times by the city, television’s remote does not work correctly, only able to do limited streaming if you can get to the app with the universal remote. We selected this property for the location, it is great! We contacted management the first night about the condition of kitchen, they sent a very nice lady to come clean the next morning. She used wipes to clean the microwave & fridge. Could not get the burned mess clean on the stove. We ended up going to store for softscrub & got the top of stove looking like new. I could not look at it all week, let alone cook meals. The coffee pot had old coffee that needed to be scrubbed out, the top of fridge was a grimy mess. Cleaned that along with the items on top that were covered in dust. Basically every time we used anything in kitchen, we cleaned it first. I also wiped down the cabinet handles. The bathroom shower has mold along base, yet they want you to use the squeegee on the dirty doors?? We came back late one night & no water, called manager & was told would have maintenance contact me, waited until midnight, nothing. Woke up next day, no water. Contacted manager again, then learned that the night before was not a local manager (??) and the city of Colorado Springs will randomly turn off water. How come there is no info on that??? It happened two times while we were there…hard thing to plan for after a day of hiking & then leaving again early next day. The first person “manager” should have told me this so I did not wait until midnight!! Learning the details late the next morning. We have a rule of thumb when traveling for vacation…it must be nicer than our house or was it worth it?? The beautiful mountains of Colorado certainly are no comparison to the flat fields of Illinois!! The cute tiny home was a disappointment because it is not clean & is showing neglect. If you don’t have the same standards for this stuff then go for it!! We have stayed all over using VRBO and have not run into this before.

Overall, we enjoyed the cub cottage. It was just the right amount of space and tastefully decorated. Since it was a tiny home, we were surprised that the kitchen and laundry were full size. We really enjoyed the cottage and would definitely return. The only complaint we have is that there is only Neflix for TV. No local broadcasting to get news and weather or to watch TV shows in the evening. The shower drain has an issue. By the time you get out of the shower you are standing in 2" of water and it takes a long time for that to drain.

There are many things about this property that should have been handled better or they should have given us a heads up on. Overall this is in a good location. We are going to come back next year and I will definitely shop around for places nearby to see if there is comparable pricing, but I would stay here again and just prepare a little differently knowing these things. The sunroom light doesn't work at all. Not ideal when you are checking in late or leaving early. We found a broken piece if it under the kitchen table and my husband tried to fix it but couldn't. The shower has about a ten minute max before the hot water completely runs out. They also have a big sign to squeegee the shower when you're done. That's fine, however the drain doesn't work properly in the shower so the shower fills up as you shower, leaving the edges where the water was as it drains pretty yucky. The toilet is extremely loose. I saw this in a review from years ago and they haven't fixed it. It also smells a little funny in the bathroom. The listing says there is Netflix and Hulu. Both my husband and I are fairly technically inclined, and neither if us could figure out a way to make it work. The TV in the bedroom has instructions for a DVD player, and no DVD player to be found. There are about 10-12 DVDs in the house. It rained one day and we have a four year old. So we felt the listing should have been a little clearer about that situation so we could have prepared better. The washer and dryer are extremely loud. Once again, not a huge deal, but if you are getting in late and need to do laundry, it would have been nice to have a heads up on that so we didn't start the laundry that night (the dryer makes a noise that is hard to sleep through). There is a typo in the directions, so we drove around for about 20 minutes before we figured it out. There wouldn't be enough blankets if someone was planning on sleeping on the pull out. It was really cold at night and we used every blanket in the bedroom. The code for the trash didn't work, so we ended up discarding of our trash in a nearby dumpster. I hope the property owner chooses to address some of these things, because the house itself is really cute and in a great location.

It was clean and was happy with value.

Unable to access internet or watch TV, despite repeated efforts. Not enough hot water to wash and rinse your hair in the shower. The heater really is unusually noisy. The ceiling lights in enclosed porch didn’t work—possibly a short. Excellent view, quiet. Nicely decorated, clean. Just too many issues to make me want to return.

This place was perfect for our needs. We were in town for about a week, and it was nice to have access to laundry, fridge, and other amenities. This place offers a gorgeous mountain view, and is near Pike's Peak, Cave of the Winds, Royal Gorge and other points of interest. It's also quite close to a Wahlgreens and a grocery store, so anything that we happened to need was close-by. Absolutely would stay again :)

On arrival to the house we first noted the heat was not on and the house was 36 degrees inside. The heater had some difficulty kicking on and it took over an hour to get it into the 60’s. I called, messaged on VRBO and texted the number provided and NEVER heard back from the owner/property manager. The parking is terrible. One of the other small houses has their parking spot in front of this cabin. The linens, floors and bathroom were clean and the bed was comfortable, BUT there was dog food on the counter by the coffee maker and there were dust bunnies on the bedside tables. The main reason for the low rating was the complete disregard to return contact by the property managers.

The Cub cottage is cozy with delightful decor. Sitting on the couch it’s easy to see Pikes Peak.

Cozy, good view, clean!

We loved this cottage for our getaway. My young daughter and I were very comfortable and had everything we need. Parking is doable but tight. Nothing beats the view. Bed was comfortable. Home was very clean.

Easy rental! Great instructions!
