Wonderful home away from home. The kids loved the outdoor play equipment, even in the snow! Karen had sleds set out when we arrived and there were a few extra boots/coats in case someone didn’t have one. Lots of cooking supplies in the kitchen. Great for cooking meals at home instead of eating out. The kids loved reading about the history of Crystola and we spent half a day hiking in the mountains looking for the cave on the treasure map they had (that went along with the history). Plenty of space for a large family - lots of comfortable beds. The kids loved the tent bedroom! Great winter getaway.

Location worked well for multiple different outings. Wifi issue but host was immediately dealing with the problem. Beautiful view.

We wanted a white Christmas this year with all our kids and grandkids and this was the perfect place to have it! Plenty of things to do at the cabin for all ages! The beds were so comfortable and the wood burning stove kept the whole cabin warm, Ali g with the sun coming in during the day. Karen stayed on top of everything to ensure we had a great stay. There were a couple of issues that were cleared up quickly. But the only main issue was the downstairs shower that just trickled out water so all 13 of us had to use the one upstairs bathroom to bathe/shower but we made it work and didn’t worry Karen with it. This is the perfect place for a big family with so much to do and we made so many great memories that everyone will remember!

Overall everything was awesome ! Would recommend some updates to some areas but we all enjoyed it 100% 👍

We had a great time! The photos of house were right on. Karen was so helpful and kind. She provided everything for us. It was snowing when we arrived and there was a roaring fire going and the sleds were pulled out for us to use. The house and property provided lots of space for the grandchildren to play. We made so many wonderful memories!

We had such a great time here with our friends. We had a total of 6 kids and the property was perfect for them to play. They were outside all day! The hot tub would be better outside as that room gets very warm, but other then that everything was absolutely lovely!

The location of this home is wonderful. Feels like you're in the wooded mountains, yet close to Co Springs, Pikes Peak, and 5 min to WalMart. We also went 90 min to Royal Gorge which was a beautiful drive. We loved the location of the home! This home is very nice for a week of vacation. We had plenty of sleeping and table space, but there isn't a large indoor living area to hang out which was hard when we all wanted to relax together. There are two "living spaces" that each seats about 6 people. If you don't mind splitting up between the game room, kitchen, outside, and living spaces, it would be fine. The house got hot in the October afternoons. The lows were in the 30's and the highs in the 60's, but without blinds, the sun beat in the house making it very hot in the afternoons. Mornings and evenings were great. We just tended to stay outside as much as possible in the afternoons. There are very few windows that open. The owners have supplied several very nice fans, but they blew warm air until the temps lowered. There are plenty of activities on site between the outdoor spaces and the indoor rec room. Some game equipment items need replacing or are in need of TLC, but we were able to use them as is. Kids loved it! Though the home needs some TLC, it worked for our needs for the week. The communication with the owner has been very good and they are already addressing any issues we noticed. They are very kind and want to offer an excellent property.

This home was a perfect multi family vacation rental for us. Great for all ages. The kids loved the swing set. This beautiful home is nesting in the mountains with easy access to their local Walmart/Safeway nearby. Don’t forget to take your own shopping bags or pay for bags every time you go to the store. We ended up with 25 Walmart bags in seven days. Lol Best Colorado trip ever. We all enjoyed ourselves very much. Thank you for sharing your home!

Great place to relax and close to a lot of attractions

This was perfect for us! Each kid, big kid and old folks had something to do! Within driving distance of everything we wanted to do. We loved having some of the essentials already there which was a major bonus! Thank you for allowing us to stay and we cannot wait to return.

There were plenty of outside play ground to keep the kids entertained and there was an indoor game room for kids and adults to play.

There were 14 in our group and there was plenty of room. The house was perfect, and the kids had a blast in the treehouse. It was central to everyplace we wanted to go. We saw deer, a raccoon and bears. Fun!!!

Stay was great. Only issue- wish we knew ahead of time there was no washer and dryer available

Great place for a large active family! We all enjoyed the game room and the pickle ball count every afternoon. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Our group ranged from age less than one year, to 70s - and this was a great spot for us all.

We had a wonderful spring break getaway with friends and family. The house was PERFECT for our group with 6 kids between 5-10 years old. Everything in the home was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. We had the perfect mix of snow and warm sunny days this week so we enjoyed every feature of the home and property, especially the hiking trails right out the front door. The location was easily accessible and so close to so many attractions. One issue with water the first day was resolved within an hour. Thank you for sharing this treasure of a home.

This destination gave us everything we needed. Close to everything. The best place for kids and grandkids. Excellent home for large or multiple families. We had 12 of us.

We very much enjoyed our stay.

Other than it got pretty warm inside during the day we had a blast. We were normally out and about and had the fans going so it wasn't that big of a deal. Everything was as pictured. We saw deer passing through the backyard in the mornings and we saw a black bear as we were leaving. Great access to hiking trails. We got a lot of use out of the game room. Ping Pong Tournament went on and on. Hot tub was really great to soak in after hiking around Pikes Peak all day. Great access to everything there is to see and the guys love being central to all the fishing attractions. I highly recommend this property to large groups.

We were very happy with the home, and I felt that everything matched up to what was listed. Very quiet, private but so close to everything, literally less than 5 minutes to run to Walmart, or anything in Woodland Park. We visited the North Pole and the zoo while we were there, and both were very easy drives. Stocked very well with everything you need and more! We had little ones and 3 different families and it was perfect. The kids loved the tent room and slept in there every night! I would recommend bringing your own gate for the stairway if you have toddlers. But the pack and play, extra mattresses for the floor and all the extras made it very easy to be comfortable and for everyone to have their space! The game room with the hot tub was great and kept all the families active!

We had a wonderful experience with our family from England. The home was incredible & we had more than everything. The outdoor space was just amazing. We had the best vacation ever.

With grandchildren ranging from 2-14, this property hit the mark! The backyard and game room provided a variety of activities for anytime of day. We enjoyed seeing wildlife each day of our stay. The location was convenient to all Pikes Peak area sites including Santa's Noth Pole, Manitou Springs, Pike Peak, Green Mountain and Woodland Park. Our family loved the mine treasure hunt provided by the host!! We followed the map and FOUND THE CAVE!! It was an awesome discovery and fun for the entire group.

We visited with an extended family of 10 and everyone enjoyed it very much! The owners are kind and very responsive. This house makes a great home base for a trip to the Colorado Springs area. The house provides plenty of room and the outside area is large with lots to do. We especially enjoyed the game room, hot tub, playground, and pickleball court. The beds are all comfortable and the tent bedroom was a big hit. The kitchen and dining area are spacious and we had most of our meals for the week at the house. We definitely give an overall 5 Star rating!

just exactly what we where looking for, nice and relaxing. Away from all the nice

We spent a week here for a family vacation. Everyone loved it, adults and kids. The kids played outside for hours; they especially enjoyed the big slide and the hammocks. Us adults just lounged around the home after hiking all day. When I had a question about the home, Karen answered promptly. The kitchen has just about everything I can think of. I'll definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity.

Great property for a large family with kids. Loved the hiking right in the backyard. Enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. Not a far drive to many attractions.

Everything was wonderful! They family of all ages had a great time, including my 82 year old mother. If you have a large family or group this is a quiet place to reconnect and regroup from the daily grind. Thank you hope to come back soon 😊

We found the cabin clean and ready for us when we arrived. The wood stove was well-stocked and ready for use and each room had a space heater. The trails right behind the cabin were great to hike in the evening and gave a wonderful view of Pikes Peak. Would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sun Mountain, and were able to stay plenty warm even with the snow. One thing to note is that the property doesn't have a washing machine as listed. They are conserving water and do not allow the usage of the washing machine. We had planned to use it during the stay, so that was a bummer. Overall, we had a great time with friends and family.
