About the house:
💯The house is well thought out, read our reviews for more detail. Ivywild House works nicely as a modern multi-generational home; capable of hosting a larger groups for an extended period of time.

Our kitchen is well stocked for meal making. If you wish to cook, you'll find modern amenities: instant pot, air friers, grill and a stovetop, and essentials like coffee and tea makers.
We have a nearby park with playground, and adults can walk to our neighborhood brewery. If the weather is poor (i.e. rain), children are entertained with fun games upstairs, books, and an old school nintendo wii (4 can play at once).

LOCATION? Located in a great area on the west side of the springs, with super easy access to the main interstate and major highways. It is close to the mountains, drive to Cheyenne canyon and Pikes Peak. We are south west 1 mile of downtown Colorado Springs proper, with easy access to all major roads.
.
RESTAURANTS: We are known for being vibrant and exciting: with several options for dining, and walking distance to great breweries and distilleries, including the best restaurants right now on Tejon Street. It’s a quick 5-minute drive to downtown center where you'll find the best of the springs museums, art galleries, and city life.

.
We are remarkably close to the Broadmoor, driving less than 4 minutes (two stop lights). In fact, some groups have stayed at the Broadmoor, and the extended family has stayed at this house because of the closeness.
.
🥹 Location:
The house is located near downtown in the Ivywild of Colorado Springs, a friendly and historic neighborhood to Colorado Springs along the banks of Cheyenne Creek and under Pikes Peak! The tree lined neighborhood is home to numerous restaurants. Walk to breweries and distilleries. For leisure there is hiking in Cheyenne Canyon, take the complimentary golf clubs for a round, bring the children to the live performances at the theater, and indulge in the nightlife found at our neighborhood brewery (and walk home safely). Easy and quick access to the major highways and Interstate 25, and HWY 115 and 24.

We have some of the best access to the major travel roadways, Interstate 25 (connects to Denver, airports, Garden of the Gods) intersects with Highway 24 (gets you to Pikes Peak), and also hits Highway 115 (takes you south to Royal George, Broadmoor), and Tejon Street (goes right downtown). The Ivywild neighborhood sits right in this area, shielded by a hill which gives us privacy and keeps the noise away. In 3 minutes, you can be on any of these roads en route to your destination. No other area has such easy access.

Colorado Springs GEM!!!
This was by far the best experience I have ever had in a vacation rental and the bar has now been set for me to be disappointed in any future booking that doesn't match the experience Kyle provides! I booked this property for my family to spend the Christmas holiday together and finding the right place is always a struggle due to the amount of specific needs everyone has. With an infant and grandparents requiring specific access or mobility to keep them comfortable or safe, I was left instantly grateful for the amount of detail and thought he put into the description so I could make sure this home would work for us. Within 30 minutes of booking, Kyle called me to introduce himself and answer any questions I had so that he could ensure we had a memorable stay. Knowing we were celebrating the holiday, he made this extra special by putting up multiple trees, decor, and lights so we felt just like we were at home together! This house has EVERYTHING you need and everything you didn't know you needed until you did. Rentals tend to be shells of homes, lacking in necessary items you would expect in a kitchen or random amounts of everyday items like 3 mugs and 4 forks. This is not a house, it is a HOME! You can cook a full 10-dish holiday meal, do daily laundry, and with updated tech and amenities feel like you never left the comfort of your own place. I highly recommend this unicorn rental for all types of groups looking to have an amazing and memorable stay!

Wonderful Family Thanksgiving Stay! Beautiful, Cozy Home in a Nice, Accessible Neighborhood
Our family of 11 stayed at the Ivywild House for a week during Thanksgiving and had the most incredible, memorable time in Colorado Springs! We even got to see snow while we were there! Kyle is a super gracious and thoughtful host! He has thought of every detail to make his beautiful, cozy, spacious home a very comfortable place to stay. He communicated along the way and gave us so many amazing local recommendations. Highly recommend this place…we will definitely be returning for a visit!

Best VRBO We've Stay In!
This is an amazing house for a family gathering. It is the most well equipped home we've ever stayed in. The kitchen had everything you could think of and more. There were even picnic and party supplies! Tons of bath towels were provided as well. There was even an assortment of toys that my grandchildren enjoyed. The house itself is lovely. Having a bathroom in every bedroom was wonderful! It also has connections in each bedroom to charge your cell phone. Kyle, the owner, has added so many lovely details that it really felt like a home, not a rental. Kyle and Donna were the most lovely hosts! They were so helpful and kind. We were all so impressed with them and hope to rent from them again!

Best STAY EVER!
This was absolutely, by far, our best rental of many that we have stayed at over the years. We had 11 of us total (6 adults, 5 kids ages 6 and under), and the house was beyond perfect! We had tons of room (there's plenty of space even if the kids had been teens!),the location is perfect-only 10-15 minutes from EVERYTHING, and as far as amenities- WOW isn't a strong enough word! Super clean and well taken care of are also understatements! Kyle, the host, was immediately responsive when I booked and stayed in contact with us prior to our arrival, offering suggestions and answering questions. When we arrived, he was right next door and helped us get in and settled, then came by the next day to just check on us. We saw him several times but in a very positive manner. He was not intrusive, just available! The house is well-stocked and extremely comfortable. A crib, stroller, and toys for the kids were definitely appreciated. Upgraded lighting, a pantry that is shareable, laundry pods, etc., were just a few of the niceties that made this a stay we will definitely look forward to returning to.

Saved Thanksgiving!!! Beautiful home!!!
Kyle is my neighbor. I have known that he had a vrbo two houses down from us for a couple of years and was always happy with the level of upkeep and families that stayed. On Thanksgiving this year, I had five family members in from out of town, all over 70. My sewer line broke!!! I called Kyle and leased his house for a week so that everyone could maintain showers and such. We ended up staying there. I was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY!!! It is so well stocked and clean and beautiful inside!!! From water pressure and facilities to the very thoughtful decor and amenities, completely surprised. I've stayed at many for work and fun. Kyle's property is less of a business venture and more of a prideful hobby. You can stay there with a culinary backbone and not be disappointed as everything is so well stocked and even more high-end then the basic dollar store knives and utensils. Even hotel soaps and shampoos if you forget them!!! I hadn't been over, so I was stunned to find five bathrooms and a really thoughtful back patio space equipped with barbecue and heat lamps. Even the mattresses are better than the others I have stayed at. We didn't have kids there, but I snooped about and saw how kid-friendly much of the space was!!! Having lived over here for close to two decades, the location is perfect for touring the city. Plenty of parking easy access. I may be partial as Kyle has been our neighbor and friend. But he was a godsend and everything was perfect and beautiful. I am moving out if state and now know where I will be staying when I come back every couple of months. Thank you, Kyle!!!

A perfect gathering place for families!
We recently stayed at this property for USAFA parent weekend (Labor Day weekend). Kyle, who owns and manages this home, was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with, from beginning to end. He worked with us for a flexible check in and check out time, as we had family arriving and departing at various points over the weekend. We've stayed at MANY VRBO properties in Colorado Springs, and this was by far our best rental experience so far. The house is basically a fully equipped family home. Plenty of towels, bedding, etc. and there were supplies for doing dishes and laundry during our stay. The kitchen has plenty of dishware, wine glasses, cutlery, etc. Crockpots, air fryer, Insta pot, blender, tea pots, coffee pot and a Keurig were available for our use, among other gadgets and helpful items. The grill was in great shape and there were quality grilling tools as well. The back patio seating was ample, clean and in good condition. None of the kitchen or home inventory was broken or even remotely worn out. Kyle even had ingredients for smores waiting in the kitchen for us, along with a plate of freshly baked cookies awaiting our arrival! The upstairs loft has a full selection of board games, books and a video game system (we don't play, but there were plenty of game options available). There were even bongos and a guitar for guests to use! The information binder had very clear and simple check in/check out guidelines, general house information, and a comprehensive list of nearby restaurants and attractions. The owner's attention to detail and obvious TLC to this home definitely distinguishes it as an exceptional rental option. From the lantern lights hanging on the front porch (that came on automatically each night) to the Air Force decorations he placed out especially for us, it was just a lovely experience. We just wish we would have discovered this home years ago when we started traveling to this area. We highly recommend this rental!

Family reunion
The property was very nice and our stay was very comfortable as well. The host made sure that the house had everything that the guests may need. Met with Kyle, the owner, a very pleasant person, who had kept amazing cookies waiting for us, when we reached the property and also brought us home grown peaches the next day. We all had a great time and I would most definitely recommend this place to all my family and friends. Thanks Kyle!

Wish we could give more than 5 stars!
Wow, this place is amazing as is the property manager! It was much more cost effective for us to stay here than to rent a hotel and this house offers SO MUCH MORE than any hotel ever could. When booking, we had questions and Kyle was very quick in responding and even did a video call with us to provide more details. We arrived and the place was very neat and clean. We were even greeted with a plate of warm cookies! We had a wide range of age groups and the house catered to all of us. The kids loved all the toys and games. When our stay was over the kids didn't want to leave! The adults loved the privacy of their own bedrooms and bathrooms. We had an infant in our group and they even provided a crib and strollers. Kyle provided all sorts of information from names and locations of nearby grocery stores and restaurants to information on local attractions and hikes that would be friendly for small children. We loved the new patio furniture on the front porch and enjoyed coffee out there every morning and snacks out there in the afternoons. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need and then some. Plenty of plates, bowls, cups and eating utensils for large groups. Lots of storage space for extra groceries, drinks, etc. There was even a wide variety of spices to use. Kyle has put a lot of little extras in the house. The lighting was amazing as he has safety lights on the staircase that come on automatically when it is dark and the rooms had light switches on the nightstands so you don't have to get out of bed to turn on and off the lights. We were there when the Switchbacks played so we were able to attend the game and the seats were amazing and we had a blast! EVERYONE in our group gave this place a 5+ star rating and if we are ever back in this area, this house is definitely where we will stay! Thank you Kyle for EVERYTHING!!!
Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022

About the host

Hi, I'm Kyle. I moved to Ivywild with my daughter as a single full-time dad in 2008, that period of my life was tough, but precious. At one point I was able to purchase the house next door, which turned into "the Ivywild House".
.
I've called Colorado Springs home since 1999, having fallen in love with the Rocky Mountain charm of our hometown. It's so beautiful to see Garden of the Gods in the distance, the Westminster chimes from Cheyenne mountain chiming, and the sunsets over the front range. I would love to help guide and be a resource for your group when you arrive, there's really too much to do here, and I would love to share with you the other cool places and things to do in town. If you have a question or need a recommendation on anything, we are right there to help!

Be assured that the house is what it represents itself to be; a clean, comfortable and open place in a great location, with friendly people all around. The place is immaculately cared for, and details are attended to.

We have hosted families and friends for holiday vacations, reunions, graduations, weddings, sports team meets, and have helped to make reservations, find scenic drives, and have planned a special drive through the mountains. Yes - Trip Advisor and the tourist office will certainly give you an idea of the town; we compliment this advice by giving you some local, neighborly advice on what there is really to see and do.

So let me welcome you personally to our house in Ivywild.

Why they chose this property

Why this Property?

- Because of all the quality reviews, we have a reputation for doing well for your family.

-- Because we are doing this for the fun, not the bottom line. I want to provide a limited-edition experience for your group.

--Because we are committed to healthy and a safe vacation home and are an underdog owner operated property in Colorado Spring.


These are the types of families that have stayed:

-- We hosted a long term group that stayed for 3 months (Feb-May) & just worked from home, safely.

-- We've hosted business groups that have a convention at the Broadmoor, because we are close by and provide needed value.

-- We've hosted many families celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. Some families have a function at the Broadmoor and it's easy to "be a little further from them".

--One family used the house as a base for their extended family to celebrate a USAF graduation.

- Our Christmas and New Years families have often cooked up a batch of posole or tamales in the kitchen.

- Our thanksgiving families - no matter how hard I try to steer them to the Edelweiss for dinner, often just cook a homemade turkey feat in the kitchen.

--Another group appreciated the neighborhood with breweries, and that they could walk to it and refill a growler jug there, and bring the beer home.

--We have hosted a group of young Olympians, who were staying for training / nationals (shotgun and skating). We have also hosted skating teams, swimming teams.

--Why this property - because it is awesome.
