Vacation stay

This property served our 7 member party well. The house was spacious. The view from the backyard was breathtaking. I didn’t do any cooking (I was on vacation) but the kitchen appeared to be well stocked with what one would need. The air conditioner worked very well. It was located within a reasonable driving distance to many points of interest. We had a great time and would return if headed back to COS.

Perfect House for our Family Trip

This house was great for our family. We had two families meet together, and the house met our needs. The backyard was a big highlight for the kids (ages 13 to 2). The toddler bed and pack n play were perfect for our young kids. The location was great. We did run out of hot water in the master bedroom shower a couple of times, but we were competing with the other shower, so somerhing to note for big groups! Shelly was wonderful to communicate with, and she was helpful when we couldn't figure out the lockpad for the door. My son keeps asking to go back!

2 night stay

This home was perfect for our family of 5. Our teenage boys all had a bed of their own and this is a big plus. Didn't stay long enough to take advantage of the beautiful kitchen or the fire pit in the backyard. The view from the backyard is awesome!! Would definitely rent again from Shelly if we are in the area.

Amazing Family Vacation

We absolutely loved our visit to CO Springs for our kid's spring break! The house and view of Pikes Peak was absolutely breathtaking - we cannot wait to return! The house was great for kids - the only issue I would say was the shower doors in the main bathroom did not want to close. Other than that we just used the bathroom in the hallway - which was fine. We visited Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Manitou Springs, and Denver - we wanted to do more hikes but the weather was too cold on the last day (snow) so we hung around town! Thanks for allowing us to say in your wonderful home! The view is a complete treasure!

very cozy property with a view that was better than I remembered from the pictures. House was stocked with basic essentials and directions were clear. I do wish there was a better place for our trash, as the outside cans were full.

Beautiful view, perfect location, charming home

The Gathering House was perfect for our 7 family members for our sons Air Force graduation and wedding! Shelly was such a gracious hostess and responded immediately and met our every needs. The kitchen is beautifully updated and we cooked for all that gathered at the house. We even made s'mores, which Shelly had provided the ingredients for, over the fire pit in the backyard!

Beautiful home with beautiful views

The house was exactly as advertised! Amazing views! Everything you need is in the house from paper towels, dishes, toilet paper, cooking utensils, etc.... The home owners gave us complete privacy and were quick to respond to texts and emails. The house is close to restaurants, shopping, and all the “hot spots” such as Garden of Gods/pikes peak/etc. Something to consider is having your groceries delivered to the house (Safeway). We did that and it made it easy to prepare some meals at the house without wasting vacation time at a grocery store!

Fantastic View!

This property provided the perfect setting for our weekend in Colorado Springs. We had 6 people staying here for the weekend and it allowed us the space to have a sense of community that you just don't get in a hotel! Great location and you just can't beat the view from the backyard. If you are spending time in Colorado Springs the Gathering House is an excellent choice!

The perfect home for a family vacation

The Gathering House is a wonderful place to stay; plenty of room and all the amenities you could hope for. The location is fantastic with a great view to the west, and easy access to I-25 and all the attractions in the Colorado Springs area. Shopping, restaurants, and fuel are close by, also. Don’t be surprised if you walk out to find urban deer relaxing in the front yard. Shelly was always quick to reply to my questions.

About the host

Hosted by Shelly Young

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Shelly. My family and I traded California waves for Colorado mountains. I have fallen in love with Colorado Springs & secretly want to be a tour guide. There is just SO much goodness. I love hosting and love asking, "What kind of trip do you need this to be?" to my house guests. Some come for adventure & others need a retreat. In my own life, I've found both in this city and love to help point others to experiences they will enjoy!
I'm a Christ follower. I enjoy: people, music, audio books & podcasts, chasing the sun with my camera, travel with girlfriends, & yoga. Living present & intentional to soak in all the good bits of life!

Why they chose this property

We wanted a little slower pace than the Southern California pace that we grew up in. After a visit to Colorado Springs, we fell in love. It seemed the perfect balance for us. We sold our house in CA and bought this house sight unseen because of the view and location! It has been such a special place for our family. We love the quiet and wildlife that the open space bring. We love the proximity to everything and you couldn't ask for better neighbors. And we are happy to get to share it with you!

What makes this property unique

We love the back patio and yard and enjoy it and the views daily. I love the gathering places and the centrality of the kitchen.
