Fantastic stay in CO Springs

We had a fantastic stay. Plenty of parking, fenced in yard for a dog, well stocked kitchen, plenty of hot water and super comfy beds. Located a short drive from everything we wanted to see and do in CS: Manitou Spri gd Garden of the Gods and Downtown. Great neighborhood for dog walking. Around the corner from a nice park.

Great Stay!

This little house was perfect for our needs. Beds were comfy, full kitchen saves money, and it is conveniently located close to outdoor activities and downtown. The big plus for us was that the yard outside the door is fully fenced which made it especially nice for our dog. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. We will be staying here again when we need to visit Colorado Springs and we highly recommend.

Exactly What We Needed

We were visiting our daughter close by and needed a place to stay while there. Rachel's space was super clean and provided for our needs. It was just my wife and I, and the space was more than spacious enough for the two of us. The king bed in the one room seemed a little firm at first, but wound up being super comfortable. The other room offered a smaller bed, but we did not use it. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking needs. We only made ourselves breakfast, but there were pots and pans and other needed things if looking to cook more. The location was close to our daughter so that was good. We arrived at night so parking down an alley was a little scary at first, but the neighborhood seemed safe and nice our next days there. There is a park close by and stores / restaurants are not very far off at all. If needing to stay in the area, I highly recommend Rachel's place.

Colorado Vacation

This was a cute little guest house on the back of the owner's property. A little hard to find initially so make sure you read the host directions. The place was cute and close to all major sites. Great restaurant recommendations and activities. Our host was very friendly and helpful.

Why they chose this property

Casa de Luz y Sombra is the second home on my property. We live in the old front house, and you’ll be staying in the new southwestern gem. We wanted to open this delightful home up for visitors due to its amazing proximity to the best parts of town. The home is three blocks from a picturesque trailhead, walking distance from historic Old Colorado City, a short drive to Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs.

What makes this property unique

Casa de Luz y Sombra is unique because her location. For being in the heart of the West Side, your stay will feel rural. It’s a very quiet street, in a very safe neighborhood. Plus with your host living right on the property (but in a completely separate space), you’ll have a knowledgeable guide to help choose the absolute best experiences for you and your family (and the privacy you’ll need to enjoy yourself). The space is decorated with the utmost care providing a comfortable and clean stay. There is even a private yard for your furry friend!
