15 members of my family rented this place for Christmas. It was perfect as we all had our own space. Plenty of places for the kids to Rome. We built bonfires and enjoyed the hot tub thoroughly.

Perfect retreat for a family vacation
We recently had a family reunion during the 4th of July weekend. It was 12 adults and this house was perfect. There was enough space for everyone, and the layout of the house was perfect for everyone to have their privacy. It is importante to note that the room with the futons is actually the living room that is connected to the kitchen, so it is not a place for someone easily awaken. Since this area was used by a college student, this was not an issue (and he said that the futon was the most comfortable bed he has ever slept in!). If we ever have another reunion in this are, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great view and location but not as expected from listing
The place had a gorgeous view. It was set on the side of Cheyenne mountain. It was easy to get to Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods. It fit the 9 of us comfortably. Our issue was having amenities that did not live up to expectations i.e. hot tub with water below all jets and the seating area, door and light issues, paid extra for wifi that we could connect to put had no internet to make it work. There were several other small things that added up for us. The host did respond to to my messages. The host did order in a pan that I had asked if was provided before we got there. I think this place has great potential, but at this time all that joined us felt it wasn't worth what we paid due to the issues. I hope they can work on the home itself and make it all we believe it can be.

Great Property
The house was beautiful and was perfect for our needs. The ONLY reason it is not rated 5 out of 5 is because the listing stated 3 futons which I assumed could be used as beds and they were actually couches (which were very comfortable though). Highly recommend!!!!

Peace and quiet in the Pines
I can’t say enough about this property. This was our second time to stay here and I can’t wait to return. Social distancing was no problem at this home. So many welcoming settings to find solace or find a spot to entertain with family and friends. Beds are comfy, high quality linens and they go above and beyond to provide the best! Spend time under the tall pines in the Porch swing and don’t miss the sunrise over the Springs In the backyard overlook.

Dissatisfied
After an email prior to our stay referencing recent online reviews. The property owner assured me everything was working and that the prior year was a hard year in the property. We arrived at the property to find, cabinet doors falling off, , closet hanger bar falling down, hot tub not working, they said they sent service to fix it. It never did work. Sauna and the steam room were not working, eliptical workout machine not working. Only about to get 1 tv working the rest were unable to be used. Controls missing for warming drawer in the kitchen, Exposed electrical, lights that the switches were very loose and sometimes took a bit to get to work. They charged $25 a day for wifi that barely worked if at all. Overall very disappointing for the price paid and to have nothing working after being assured everything would be working. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It is unfortunate.

Lovely Property
I can imagine what the property looked like if it had a caregiver. Lovely home that is fairly run down . We had a family reunion here with children ranging from ages 1-12. The home was huge and full of custom decor accents but it was apparent that there was no one regularly maintaining the place. I addressed areas of improvement with the homeowner upon checkout and am confident that everything will be fixed for the next visitors.

Huge house, amazing views, definitely needs updating
The location and views of this property are absolutely stunning! I couldn’t have asked for better for our wedding. However, many of the things listed at the time of booking were not at the property or broken. We spent a good amount of time cleaning things up before the wedding as there was random items laying around the yard, broken items laying around and tons of moths. Overall, if you are wanting a huge house, with incredible views, I would recommend! The host was very quick to communicate when needed.

Beautiful view - No communication
The positives of this property are the size, the location, and the view. However, there was no communication...we never got information about check-in, check-out, wi-fi and even after 5-6 phone calls to a full voicemail and 4 messages through VRBO asking various questions, we never heard from the manager. Overall, the property was functional, but the lack of communication was extremely frustrating.

Perfect for a grooms dinner and grooms side of the wedding party.
We stayed for 5 days and it was, everything was centered around a grooms dinner at the house and wedding at Cheyenne Mountain State Park. We planned to host the dinner for 60 on the outside patio area but the weather didn't cooperate so we had it inside in lodge/great room and it was amazing, the space was great for a dinner for 60+. It was also great to have friends and family over and provided tons of spaces to hang out, never felt like we were on top of each other, lots of spaces to spread out. Had everything you would expect in a VRBO and even more. Of course we could nitpick but it really was exactly what we needed for: - grooms dinner 60+ people - home base for a wedding at Cheyenne Mountain State Park. - had breakfast, lunch, dinners for several groups throughout the stay - comfortably slept 13 people one of the nights. Were able to keep boyfriends and girlfriends in separate rooms, could have slept more but all beds except 1 slept one person. - The owners were super responsive and fixed anything we called about. - perfect for us, could fully relax. - I gave it a 4 cleanliness, it is a very large place and there were some things over looked. Whatever bothered us we just did a little work to bring it up to our standard. I summary: our son and now daughter in law said the weekend and wedding exceeded their expectations. Would 100% book again if I needed a large space to stay and entertain in that area. Did not need the VRBO to be every, we enjoyed the area

Disappointed in Amenities
We loved the property and the location. But very disappointed in the amenities. Hot tub and outside gas firepit didn't work; no washcloths, hand towels or soap in the bathrooms; only 2 bath towels in a bathroom that was to serve 8 people (loft & bedroom); primary bedroom had no heat; dirty silverware and dishes in the cupboards; windows in 3 bedrooms were broken and wouldn't open; broken dining room chairs; tears in the couches; bar stools worn out. Beautiful kitchen and great layout but very disorganized and hard to find things; pans with broken handles; hodge podge just thrown into the drawers; dried food inside the drawers; ice machine frozen up. Regardless, we had a good time and enjoyed the overall property. But in serious need of some attention. When you advertise amenities, they should be provided and working -- especially basic needs like towels.

Gorgeous setting but poorly maintained
We had an enjoyable stay but were extremely disappointed that many of the advertised amenities were not functioning. The hot tub was not functioning at all. It wasn’t until our last day when someone came out to clean the hot tub that that person advised his boss, even though we had made the owner aware since first arriving. We went through our entire visit without the hot tub that our kids were so looking forward to. Both the steam room and sauna were not functioning as were several of the items in the gym. Some of the exterior doors in the rear of the house could not be locked and the game room door handles were broken as was the light switch. We were unable to use the TV in the Master bedroom and family room. There were several remotes in the master bedroom, but no idea which one to use as no instructions were provided. There were sugar ants in the kitchen sink. The kitchen and family room table and bar stools could use cleaning as our legs would stick to them. There were stains on the sofa and chairs throughout the house. We really did enjoy our stay, but for the amount we paid the upkeep of the house should have been much better.

Lots of potential
The location and property are stunning. Everything you would want. However, the home/furnishings are a bit shabby. Broken chairs, overused/collapsed mattresses in several rooms, broken propane fire pit, mish mash of cooking/eating utensils in kitchen which really needs to be re-organized (we were cooking Thanksgiving dinner for 18 so the kitchen was an important consideration for us). It's a maze of a property and could really use a visitors guide: how to find/enter the gym, where to find air mattresses, where to find bedding, which thermostats work for what rooms and so forth, as well as check-out instructions. We had heat issues with a cold front/snow storm and the landlord, while communicative and helpful prior to our visit, was difficult to work with in dealing with our heat issues during our stay and seemed annoyed with us for expecting a response (it was 17 degrees outside). He finally ordered some space heaters to be delivered. The rooms on VRBO that indicate futons do NOT have futons. There are air mattresses if you dig around and find them, but some have holes. We made a list of items that need repair/attention and will send it to the landlord. Like I said - the property is glorious and has so much potential. But it needs some attention to be truly spectacular.

Don’t let the pictures fool you
This place was dirty when we arrived. There was old garbage in the kitchen trash can. The entire house was generally not clean. We spent a couple of hours cleaning when we first arrived. This house is old and in need of a lot of work. The premises is somewhat dilapidated. There were outlet covers missing. A bedroom outlet was out of the wall but still plugged into a lamp. There were lawn chemicals and sprayers left out in the front yard. Gas fire pit in the back did not work. The pictures show a large swing in the front yard, it's not there just the chains where a swing might have been. Patio area in the back has a beautiful view of the city, but again is unkept and dirty. No instruction book or guides. This is a large house with a lot of the light switches and appliances need some explanation. Overall, this could be a nice place, but it is dirty and rundown. The outlets, chemicals, cleanliness and lack of instructions of any kind make this place borderline unsafe particularly for families with small children.

Really cool property - major deferred maintenance and lackluster cleaning
Trash scattered around dumpster upon arrival. Even if left out by previous guests, cleaning crew should have spotted it. Trash all around property in (non-working) fountains/planters/bushes. Had to ask for entry codes right before check-in. No instructions for amenities - hot tub partially worked, was full of debris. Steam room did not work. Moldy, dried strawberry on stairs inside. No signs that floor was cleaned. Toilet by steam room did not flush - full of urine from previous guests. Ripped screens. Amenities like massage chair in photos no longer at property. Listing suggested more private bathrooms than actual floor plan. Severe water damage in gym. Owner told me they’d send instructions to fix steam room - never did. I paid too much money to troubleshoot your advertised amenities that should work when I check in. Owner asked if we wanted wifi code and firewood - did not mention additional charge - charged me $200 for WiFi usage and firewood. Black lights installed in master bedroom ceiling revealed dirty blankets with questionable stains. Candy wrappers under bed in loft. And that $50 a night WiFi totaling $100 —- could not sustain sending a text or email.

Disappointing
For wedding. Don't understand the positive reviews unless it's just taken a bad turn. Reserved online in Jan. Visited in Mar and although it had potential, IT NEEDED WORK (junked up and lots broken.) Despite my concerns, my daughter liked it and trusted that work would be done. Site manager very pleasant/helpful. Visted again in May and was pleasantly surprised to see major drywall repair and roof damage fixed and landscape being cleaned up/planted. Manager so accommodating. Visited in July. Work on property had stopped and weeds growing. Owner now managing and not accommodating at all, no expectation that he would honor anything we had previously been told by the old manager (son) concerning early arrival, late check out, repair, etc. Owner was EXTREMELY rude. Went back to son who lives in another structure on site, and he continued to help us even though he had quit as manager. Just avoided out of state dad/owner. Upon Aug arrival, bride/groom, families, bridal party ran trimmer, pulled weeds, picked up trash. Our dads made repair to lighting, screen doors, fire pit, and filled gaps between flagstone on patio with sand (trip hazard.) Moms bought flowers and planted the dozen empty pots (some growing weeds.) In the long run, wedding was nice but rough getting there. As far as we are concerned, Vrbo owes us for time, effort and money we shouldn't have had to put into the place. Warning-doors falling off/many amenities not working, Shame, has such potential:( Really, Vrbo?!

Problems
The positives: This is a sprawling house with lots of room to accommodate a large group on a lovely large wooded lot with privacy galore. We enjoyed breathtaking vistas overlooking the city lights and spectacular sunrises off the giant patio and covered porch. Part lodge, part modern addition, we had very easy access to the airport, groceries and activities but felt secluded. The kitchen is fully equipped. The pantry and (new) refrigerator is stocked with condiments and foodstuffs left behind by previous guests. The beds were comfortable. It has a great game room with wet bar, cool retro art and pool table, a beautiful weight room, hot tub and awesome wood fire pit out front. The negatives Health and safety: We arrived to garages filled with trash and garbage which had been pilfered and scattered by animals as two of the doors did not close completely. One night a bear destroyed a door to get to the smelly mess. The weight room was only accessible by walking through the sticky garage. This was unacceptable. After multiple attempts to resolve this with the owner and reaching out to VRBO the trash was eventually hauled away but the gunk remained. Two sliding doors were off their tracks so the house was not secured when we checked in. Although photos were sent to the owner, no one came to repair them. Maintenance: There were torn screens, several inoperable windows, burned out lightbulbs, lamps with no outlets into which to plug them and one of the door handles fell off. The upholstered furniture was so heavily sprayed with deodorizer that two days had to pass before it was not overwhelming even after airing the cushions out on the deck. Only two pool cues were not broken. Misrepresentation: Neither the gas fire pit, sauna nor steam room were operable, nor was the massage chair anywhere to be found. Other FYI: The three queen beds are in a loft overlooking the great room which does provide a place to sleep but little privacy. We would not stay there again, but it was indeed a memorable experience.
