A Little Bit of Heaven on Earth
This was our third time staying at The Country Retreat and it truly gets better each visit. We spent every evening enjoying the newly built outdoor living area complete with built-in bbq, fire pit, sitting area, cornhole, and that gorgeous view! We road bikes, walked the country roads, watched football, played board games, and cooked meals. Close enough to town to run in for dinner or groceries while still being away from the busyness of the Springs. Robyn has created a beautiful home-away-from-home that is warm and cozy and equipped with everything you will need during your stay! Love everything about this home and our visits!

Gorgeous!
My family absolutely loved our stay. This is probably the best VRBO we have stayed at. It exceeded our expectations and the photos. It seemed everywhere we looked there were extra touches of comfort. I felt pampered. The kitchen truly had every tool we needed during our stay. The new outdoor patio was so special. I enjoyed my mornings having coffee under the cafe lights and enjoying the view of Pikes Peak. We walked the grounds every day to look for deer and bunnies. We didn't mind the drive to COS because this was so much nicer and more relaxing than staying in town. This place has it all for a family trip to the area!

This was our first experience using vrbo, and Robyn has set the bar incredibly high! The view from the house is breathtaking, the house is spotless and the host is so thoughtful! No pictures could do this property justice. We couldn't have asked for better house/host.

Absolutely beautiful property. Driving in we saw it on the butte and thought “wouldn’t that be neat if that was our place” AND THEN IT WAS! Beautifully furnished inside and out. Would stay here again—parents and kids alike were big fans and sad to leave.

This property is even better than the pictures portray. The owner has stocked it with EVERY kitchen or party utensil you may ever need, and even has tons of spices on hand for your cookout/dinner.

USAFA Graduation Stay
My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning view of Pike’s Peak. Whether enjoying my morning coffee on the patio or watching the sunset in the evening, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. The property itself is impeccably maintained and beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Every room is thoughtfully designed, with comfortable furnishings and all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. What truly set this experience apart, however, was the exceptional hospitality of our host. From the beginning, she was incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. When a small issue arose, she addressed it immediately and efficiently, going above and beyond to make sure our stay was uninterrupted. Overall, this property offers the perfect combination of a picturesque setting, beautiful accommodations, and outstanding service. It was perfect place for our family to stay for our Cadet’s graduation from USAFA. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Colorado Springs area.

Second Visit and Already Counting Down to the Third!
This was our second stay at the Guesthouse and it was as wonderful as we remembered. Robyn is communicative, thoughtful and the Guesthouse feels like a home away from home. It’s cozy, accommodating for all ages, has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the views are incredible. This year Robyn surprised us with cinnamon rolls and fresh eggs from Blue Sage Bakery, so good! We rode bikes, explored the property and enjoyed family dinners. Our family loves this home and looks forward to our next visit! Highly recommend this beautiful home for your next visit to Colorado Springs!

Perfect Family Vacation
Our family stayed at this property for a vacation. We loved the location. It was close enough to all the things we wanted to do yet still out in the country in a quiet and peaceful setting. The mountain views from this property are incredible. The house is even better than what the pictures show. It is extremely clean and very well maintained. You will not find a better hostess than Robyn. She was so easy to work with. We highly recommend Robyn and this property to anyone. We would definitely stay here again.

Table Butte Colorado
Reservation, checking and arrival processes were a breeze. I have travelled for over 50+ years and this was the most well appointed property I’ve ever seen. Hostess Robyn was truly outstanding. We had zero issues and the few questions we had were answered quickly and efficiently. The house is remote yet conveniences are only 20-30 away. It sits on a five acre lot with an expansive view toward the Rockies. It fit our needs perfectly. A great location, an ideal property and an outstanding hostess. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Favorite Vrbo home ever
Beautiful home with classy farmhouse decor. I took pictures so I could recreate some of her decor at home. Very comfy and relaxing with beautiful view of Pikes Peak from the back deck. Hostess was best we’ve ever encountered. Kept us informed when storms caused internet outage. Most homes start off with starter supplies of toilet paper, dish soap etc. she had more than we needed of everything for our week stay. Made sure new bikes were ready for grandkids left homemade goodies and breakfast food furnished. You will not find a better host. We definitely want to go back!

Would highly recommend this property. Was clean. Loved the location. Close enough to the activities we wanted to do—Top Golf, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Royal Gorge—but also far enough out of town for peaceful mornings and evenings. We definitely felt welcome in this home and felt that if we would have needed anything from our hosts (we didn’t have any problems) that they would have been easy ti get a hold of and would have resolved any issues. We could definitely see ourselves staying there again.

Breathtaking Views Meet Cozy Comfort
The drive to the property is a beautiful drive filled with scenic landscapes leading you to your Mountain View getaway retreat. As soon as you step through the door you are encompassed and transported into a mountain dream filled with peaks, valleys and views that seem to go on and on. The house makes you feel right at home from the moment you put your bags down. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need. The soft linens on the beds mixed with the mountain air, views and quiet area makes for the best sleep of your life. The homeowner was super quick to respond and even left a welcome message and goodies for when we arrived. I couldn’t recommend this place more for your vacation getaway!!

A Little Piece of Heaven
Everything about this property was perfect! Robyn was communicative and accommodating, the home was very well appointed with comfortable furniture, cozy throw blankets, kitchen appliances and utensils, and bathroom toiletries just in case you forgot to pack something. It is a about a 25 minutes drive from stores and restaurants, but we didn’t mind, the views and beauty of the Black Forest was worth the drive. This home is so beautiful we could easily have stayed another week. Thank you for providing a perfect home to make new family memories! We would rent again and again!

About the host

Hosted by Robyn Haddock

Host profile image
My husband, Rob, is a native Coloradan who built our home next door over 30 years ago. He purchased this property in 2002 - just for the stunning mountain views and sunsets.

The property was listed on VRBO only a couple of years beginning in 2003. It was then used as a private guesthouse and later as Rob's office until his company outgrew it and relocated in 2017. In 2018, we completed a top-to-bottom remodel so that we could offer it to others as a vacation getaway and relaxing escape to the country.

Rob's three children and their families are also part owners, and we all share in our love for the home, its tranquility and breathtaking views.

As for me, I am a native Texan, moving to Colorado when Rob and I married. (While Texas will always be in my heart, I love Colorado's 300+ days of sunshine, the mountains/scenery and drier climate!)

I serve as the "property manager", as well as decorator, supply-stocker and back-up housekeeper. I thoroughly enjoyed furnishing the home with virtually everything you might need for your vacation. We sincerely want your stay to be unforgettable.
