Greeted by Mule deer

Perfect stay. We were greeted by 3 Mule deer that were lounging on the back patio. That set the tone for the rest of our trip. We walked to old Colorado springs for dinner, its literally down a hill from the listing. I would recommend this listing to anyone looking for a romantic getaway.

This is incredible!

We had an outstanding time at this VRBO!! If is exactly as listed and was perfect for my husband, myself and our 17 year old daughter. It was close to everything on our list in that area. We highly recommend staying here. It’s spotless inside and is exactly as advertised. We saw a deer in our front yard the first night we came and it was there to greet us when we headed out.

Amazing location and adorable house

My husband and I absolutely loved staying here. It was minutes away from all the attractions we wanted to see. We also fell in love with the streets of Old Colorado City. You much check out Carnelian Coffee and the shop Eclectic. Sweet Water Flower Market is also Amazing. Extremely clean and well stocked house. Check in and check out couldn’t have been any easier. We will for sure be back.

Cute cabin.

This is a cute little cabin in a good location. My only problem was that I was informed that the mattress in the larger room had been replaced, but it certainly was not new. It sinks into the middle of the bed and is very uncomfortable. The other bed was much better. I would also suggest curtains on the front and back doors to stop the street lights shining in at night as well as some blockout curtains in both bedrooms. Also it was impossible to watch the tv as it kept lagging even after rebooting the xfinity box several times . Other than that it’s a neat little place.

Great place.

We overall enjoyed our stay! The kitchen had everything we needed, the place was beautiful (small but decorated beautifully) and the bathroom was out of a magazine. We only had a couple of issues. The beds are awful. They sink in the center so we woke up with a back ache every morning. I think it’s time for new mattresses. Also I would have loved a check in email from the owners. We got a access code over a month ago and then didn’t hear anything. I did reach out just to let them know we were there but I would have loved an email just checking in to see if we had any issues or if we got in. Overall, I would recommend this property.

There are far better, keep looking travelers

Difficult to get in as lock is faulty. Bumpy steps to front door not lighted, terrible to arrive after dark and then spend well over 5 minutes (16 degree weather) to work with their lock which needs adjusting or replaced. Thankfully they answered the phone and guided me thru the cumbersome process of using their faulty lock. No place to sit and eat except a small table with the non functioning TV sitting 5 inches away. Sent text for instructions on TV, no response. Don't know who has long dark hair-all over the shower and sink. Not mine, gross. No table next to bed to set phone, water etc. Also, no plugs nearby. No tissues, had to use POM toilet paper-is there any worse quality? I'm sure there're worse VRBO 's however I'm almost positive there are far far better for the money they are charging.

Character & Comfort Away From Home

First, we had a great stay. This property was a terrific home base for everything we had on our itinerary. Since everyone has different priorities when booking a property, here are some observations to help you book yours... *the owner's pictures of the decor are pretty darn accurate - if you think the pictures are appealing, you will be quite pleased, and I personally loved the plug-in scent *very clean, very tidy *we were pleased with the water pressure in the shower (thank you!), although the temperature control knob is a bit unforgiving *the dryer door is loosey-goosey and will swing about on its own - watch your head while you're sticking it inside the washer to confirm that you've retrieved all of your socks (it's a stacked setup) *the kitchen was better appointed than our simple breakfasts required, but we appreciated having every tool we might need, and then some, available - their spice rack, a nice revolving number with like 20 (estimate from memory) jars of spices, made me wish I was cooking more *warning - the streets are a little wonky in this neighborhood - Google Maps handled it fine, but Waze seemed a little convoluted *I see, now that we're home, that the listing mentions "assigned parking" - we didn't receive any instructions about this, so we parked by the curb on the street *unfortunately, this forced us to ascend/descend 7-9 steps from street level up to the house - no problem for me, but a bit of a challenge for my mom - it surprises me that that isn't mentioned in the description *garbage was the only "hiccup" we had - we arrived on a Thursday and left the following Thursday, and the same trash was in the can the entire stay - if we were expected to drag the can to the street on a particular day, no one told us - this was only a problem when someone or something knocked it over during our first night - the next morning, I had to clean up the garbage strewn in the rose bushes, including some very oily black olives - by the way, there might be ground-nesting bees in the vicinity, as they were swarming all around the trash I was trying to clean up - I had to leave some of it alone until the swarm settled down in the evening - as you might imagine, this was not a particularly fun way to start your vacation - I found a couple spare bricks and rocks to set on the lid of the can, and never had another incident during our stay, but the garbage remained in the can the entire week, so...? *W-Fi is up to the task of phones and pads

Updated, Clean, Comfortable

This property really met our needs as we visited family in the Old Colorado City area. The property is secure, impeccably clean, and well updated. A perfect property for adults and small families. The full sized appliances and kitchen basics made cooking and prep easy. A generous supply of nice quality bath linens was provided. The stacking washer dryer with detergent were handy and much appreciated. Location in a quiet, walkable neighborhood with nearby attractions was a plus too. The property is located at the top of a steep hill with nice views of Pikes Peak. One minor drawback was poor television cable service and no accessible electrical outlet in the secondary bedroom. I would recommend the owner consider adding a humidifier to the amenities for visitors needing help adjusting to low humidity and altitude. (A pot of simmering water helped when symptoms flared.) As with most properties in Colorado Springs, there are steps/stairs to negotiate from the parking area to the home. All was well lit with good visibility. Will definitely consider this property on future visits.

Our Stay

WE really enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean and beautifully decorated. The lighting could have been better. Beautiful and very trendy lighting, but not functional. The lamp in the living area would have been better with a conventional lamp shade. I know the cottage is small, but there was no place to place toiletries in the bathroom. Also, the TV never worked properly. The stations kept cutting in and out. and the pictures would freeze. I think a cable issue. We loved the outside sitting area. Spent evenings out there and really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. We would definitely come back and also recommend our friends to stay.

Quite

Very quite place - not to far from the freeway Which was nice , very equipped with almost everything you would need - 95% very clean - which was nice Not a lot of venation throughout the house or a air purifier , was slightly stuffy , and no enough paper towels or tissues - and was a lot of cleaning up to do before leaving which is kinda annoying of them to ask when your traveling , you already have a lot going on plus your paying for a cleaning fee - didn’t care to much for that - I got a great price but wouldn’t have wanted to pay more than what I paid to stay there , which they honored , the price before they upped it . Also 4 is a super late check in. People who are traveling like to drop things off and go get stuff - like grocery shopping - something to consider

Christmas 2021

Everything was nice & clean. It had everything we needed for our Christmas vacation and was a perfect location for what we had planned. We had views of the mountains but I believe these might be obstructed during the spring & summer months when there are leaves in the trees. It had a cute little yard & patio set. I was worried about having to park on the street but parking was fine because the shared lot was not full because the house it shares the lot with was not fully rented out. It is a pretty small house so more than 4 (even if they are kids) I would not recommend. Honestly, it really was a great house and conveniently located to so much. We would definitely recommend to others.

House was very clean. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals. This house is located near everything. Downtown Colorado Springs, garden of the Gods and Cheyenne mountain Zoo. Grocery store is just a couple miles away. Loved drinking my morning coffee on the patio with mountain views. I even got see a mule deer just walking down the street while sitting outside.
