Cozy comfortable bungalow on a quiet street a short walk to the center of Old Colorado City. Carol & Ref are wonderful hosts, very responsive and incredibly welcoming and at the same time very respectful of your privacy while on their property. The bungalow with fenced in yard provided us with the perfect setting for our dog, hosting our kids and grandkids for barbecues, overnight visits with the little ones and a perfect jumping off point for local sightseeing. The neighborhood is a great starting point for longer walks on several of the bike trails winding around and through Colorado Springs. We’re already looking forward to returning next year!

The property was easy to find and had several great restaurants and places to visit nearby. Carol was very helpful with the process of check-in - we arrived about 1/2 hour earlier than expected and she allowed us to enter the house. The house was very clean and felt like home. The house was big enough for us to share and have a few family dinners. My Son was able to stay with us during the weekend. We were able to visit Old Colorado City that was within walking distant and near downtown Colorado Springs.

We had a wonderful time. The cottage was not only clean and ready to go, but was beautifully decorated for Christmas with tree and many very nice touches. It was like having Christmas in our own home. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend to our family and friends. Thank you Carol.

Nice cozy home with great outdoor spaces. Only a couple blocks from old town shopping and dining. We had a wonderful experience!

A sweet house, great kitchen and in a very good location. I would suggest that a few updates need to be made. Until then, It is not the best place for an elderly person with balance issues.

Easy-to-use

We had a great experience at this property. We had everything we needed and everything was very clean. Nice backyard and patio. Our dog did get out of the fence a couple times but that is because he is only 6 lbs and pretty small, so that is not the fault of the owner. We loved the neighborhood and how close it was to everything. We would definitely stay here again.

This is a charming little cottage that we have stayed in several times during past winters. Because of a last minute change, we stayed in the owners' property on So. Cascade Ave. The ratings I've given above apply to that property which is brand new and a larger home. It was perfect! Thank you!

Our family choose Colorado Springs, Co for our winter trip. We were fortunate to locate this property. The owner was proactive in communicating and making sure our stay was memorable. The backyard has two rock patios, gravel and turf ares. The fences were secure for a family tag-a-long dog. Inside the house has original wood floors and updated tile in the bathroom and kitchen areas. The house was well blended in nostalgia and modern amenities. Snag this property if it is available for your trip. You wont be disappointed.

We stayed here to attend our USAFA son's football games. This home was perfect for us. After the football games, our son & his football buddy would spend the night & I would make breakfast for them Sunday Morning. The boys really enjoyed having a taste of home! The little backyard was perfect for our furr baby. We had a nice snow one Sunday & my son & I had fun making a snowman! Great neighborhood & very nice neighbors. The location was just perfect! Minutes to I-25, I-24 & Colorado Ave. w/ lots of shops, restaurants & things to do nearby. The owners were very attentive if we needed anything. We absolutely loved this charming home & felt right at home here.

This home was perfect for my husband & I! We felt at home and the fenced yard was perfect for our furr baby. Very nice neighbors & Norman Rockwell like neighborhood! Location was perfect and walking distance to the shops & restaurants on Colorado Ave.

We enjoyed our stay at the little blue cottage. The location is ideal to explore both Old Colorado City, Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs City. Visiting AF Academy and it was an easy drive to get onto I-25. Well-equipped home and love the laundry, full kitchen and gas grill out on the patio! No dishwasher, but that's what kids are for! Great home away from home! (took off one star for tiny living room/tv and sloped floor in BR and laundry area).

Carol and Ref are the best vacation renters we have met. They saw to our every need. The house is cozy and comfortable with all sorts of amenities including a fenced in back yard for a dog. The house is on a pretty tree lined residential street and we were within easy reach of many sites and hiking trails. We definitely recommend this vacation rental.

We loved staying in this cute house with lots of charm. Just moving to the area, we needed a temporary place to live and this house was it!! We were within walking distance of Old Colorado City Downtown and short drives to Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. Plenty of places to eat and the area was very friendly. When family comes to visit we will definitely recommend this house. Thank you Carol for letting us stay in your cute home.

The host Carol makes herself readily available if anything is needed. The house is completely stocked. She has even put together an information binder of the area with coupons to local restaurants. The neighborhood is friendly and is walking distance to downtown.

We stayed for 5 nights, and had everything we could have needed! Fully stocked kitchen which made it easy to cook meals. We loved having the washer and dryer, and everything was clean!!!! All the comforts of home! Thanks, and we’ll be contacting you for our next visit!!!

Comfortable and "homey". Plan on returning. Close to so many attractions by car. Lovely historic neighborhood overlooking the mountains.

Had a great time & really enjoy the home. Suited our needs to a tee. Great location in old Colorado City!

Perfect house for a family of 4 and a pooch. Everything we needed was in the house already and The fenced in backyard was great for privacy and letting the dog run free. It's a great location close to all the attractions we wanted to visit, we can't wait to come back!!!!!

very nice and comfortable great location to everything , pet friendly with a fenced yard and off street parking a big plus . Had all the amenities we needed . We would rent this property again . A second bath would make it a five star .

Our 7 weeks could not have been more perfect in this little blue house. It had everything we could have ever wanted- perfect location, walking distance to downtown old Colorado City, good-sized yard, wonderful neighbors, and the best owners. We felt like we were at home the moment we walked in and we were sad to leave. Carol and Ref were accommodating the entire trip and we can't wait to get back!

We had a great two months in Colorado Springs. Old Colorado City is a charming part of the city. We enjoyed staying there. Our VRBO was just the right size for my wife and myself. There was enough room to entertain, a fenced back yard for our doggy and the neighbors were pleasant and friendly. The house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The one time something broke, the repairs were done immediately. All the amenities were within blocks of us; restaurants, shops, supermarkets…etc. There were numerous places to walk. I would recommend this VRBO to anyone. Greg

Great place to stay while in Colorado Springs. It was a positive experience from the first contact with the home owner Carol. She was pleasant and inviting. All communications were answered quickly. She assured us that since we would me there on Christmas, she would decorate the house for the holiday. When we arrived at the house the first thing we noticed was beautiful Christmas decorations on the exterior. The interior was also decorated beautifully for Christmas. The house is setup great for a stay of any length. It is only one block from Colorado Ave. which is the main street shopping in the area. Carol came the first day and was equally pleasant in person. She told us to contact her if there was anything we needed while at the house. The neighbors are very friendly, and helpful with things to do and directions. We have stayed in four different house in Colorado Springs over the years, and highly recommend this home.
