The property was very beautiful. Setting up the reservation was easy and the owners were very responsive when I asked several questions prior to booking. We really enjoyed our stay and it was a much needed getaway. I emailed the property manager the day we arrived with a question and never heard back, however it was nothing urgent and I had the owners phone numbers in the event something was urgent. We would definitely stay here again and are already talking about when to plan our next trip. It is absolutely beautiful. Really short drive to all the stores etc but out in the country with peace and quiet.

Overall experience was great

The backyard was amazing! The kids loved it! The kitchen is beautiful!

Perfect spot for our large group with kids.

This place had a ton of outdoor space as well as inside. Beautiful house!

Very clean and updated inside, everything as expected

We spent 4 nights at this property as a getaway week. There were two families with 4 adults, 3 kids 8-12 years old and we could have easily had twice the people. Lots of room both inside and out for the kids to play and adults to relax. The backyard was so great for all of us. We made a fire each night and kids enjoyed the big tree swing. One thing to keep in mind though is that while the house is set on 3 acres, sound travels out there and there are neighbors close by that apparently complained about the noise. I didn't think we were super loud, but also i didn't think it was unreasonable that we were asked to keep it down. Just know that it's not like you're on an isolated property. Location-wise, we found that each day we got out for activities (Manitou, Garden of the Gods, Zoo, Broadmoor), we drove 30-40 minutes to the same general area. So if we were going again and wanted to do all of those things, we'd probably look for a place closer to south Co Springs. But if that's not your bag or you can't find a place closer, this is a fun place. Lastly, the AC went out in the house the last day we were there, which probably would only be an issue the week we were there as it was in the upper 80s. While the home owner was initially very responsive via text, she was unable to get a legitimate AC repair person out there, so we didn't have AC that night. She first sent her teenage son, then a dude that was high and told us outright anything he knew about AC repair was what he could find on YouTube. So he banged on stuff in the crawlspace for a while but no actual repair. A little uncomfortable but not the end of the world.

Everyone we dealt with was so friendly and helpful. The property was amazing and yet you felt so much at home. Loved the outdoor space. I have nothing bad to say about the property only I wish we could have stayed longer!!!! Highly recomjended

This location was amazing and everything was perfect! The owners communication was perfect and super caring about our stay. I would not change anything.

My family and I had an amazing stay at the house. The location is secluded but shops are very near. The cleanliness of the house was impeccable, and decor was stunning. My kids absolutely loved the outdoor playground. The outdoor lights were a nice touch!

We were very happy with this property! My husband and I and our three daughters and their families stayed here for a week. We were comfortably able to give each family their own space. The kitchen was very roomy and made meals easy to prepare. The outside had a nice play area for little kids. We didn't get to enjoy a campfire in the fire ring because of a burn ban going on. No down side for this property. Highly satisfied!!

This is a lovely house in the woods outside of Colorado Springs. Easy to get to all the local attractions. There is SO MUCH room. We did not even fill all the bedrooms. My kids loved the play set and swing. I had no problem with the neighbor, and we had a nice fire for smores. Just call the fire department first so they know. Over all great stay.

Overall, the property was amazing. It was secluded but close to town. The best of both worlds. The number of beds, cleanliness of the property and outdoor spaces were a plus. We spent a significant amount of time outside and our children ranging in age from 1-21 all had stuff to do. They were happy which made all Th adults happy! We had planned to do all of our cooking for our guests in the home but I will admit it was difficult as the kitchen was under stocked in terms of equipment. Things like serving dishes, variety of pots and pans, measuring cups, etc were hard to come by. It took lots of creativity on our part. We had originally booked for four additional guests than ended up staying due to a last minute surgery. Also, the security deposit still hasn’t been refunded to my account and we were not notified of any violation that would justify not refunding it. I’m finding myself frustrated with the ability to communicate about this with the property manager but I’m hopeful it will still get resolved. So long as I can get the deposit back and a refund for the guests that did not stay the night, I would recommend this location to a friend and I would gladly stay here again. It was a wonderful family experience.

We loved staying here. The home was beautiful and the property was awesome. Hope to go back soon!

This is a beautiful home with great outdoor space! Large kitchen and newly remodeled. Spacious basement as well. We loved our time here!

We traveled to Colorado Springs to attend a funeral for a family member. This house was perfect for kids and they enjoyed all the outdoor activities on site. It was really clean, the owner was accommodating and responded quickly. It felt like a we were in a cabin in the mountains but we were only 15 minutes away from where we needed to be in town.

Property was better than expected and sufficiently housed families from 4 states. Kathryn was wonderful to work with; very helpful in answering our questions. Would definitely use VBRO again and would hopefully be able to work with Kathryn again.

Highly recommend. This is the perfect place for our family vacation!

Great time especially for the kids the treehouse the swing and the swings that was a big hit. Great area in the trees and Nice and Quit!

A great property for friends getting together. Everyone has their own space, but there is plenty of room to be together as well! We had so much fun & enjoyed our stay immensely! We’ll be back!

It was so wonderful to pull up to our vacation rental and feel like we were in a fairytale. My children could explore for hours outside and not get bored! They didn’t want to come inside, even when it got dark! The fire pit was magical at night, and our family enjoyed connecting in such a beautiful home. We cannot wait to go back!

The property was wonderful! We really enjoyed our stay! Thanks Joe!

We had a large gathering for a family reunion with people varying in age from toddlers to great grandparents and everyone really enjoyed it. The home is recently remodeled, in excellent condition, and overall very clean. Everything was working properly and the kitchen was reasonably equipped. I didn't see many kitchen appliances, but it had plenty of dishes and even a Keurig coffee and tea machine. The wifi worked well, even with multiple teenagers on their phones nonstop. The smaller kids really enjoyed the playset in the yard. We enjoyed walking around the area and even found a German microbrew nearby that was within walking distance. The only downside was that the outdoor fire pit that is so prominent in the listing cannot actually be used. Unfortunately, due to fire risk in the area, it appears that you can very rarely have an outdoor wood fire. While this is certainly no fault of the owner, the listing could have made this much more apparent.
