The location was perfect, the beds comfy and loved the theme and all the handmade quilts. Kids had a great time with the games. It has lots of stairs, which is not a problem unless you are on crutches. I would stay again, I will be off crutches. Some garden level basements have ground level entrance, and I assumed that, so it was tough to navigate for me. The china was beautiful and the same set that my Mom has so that was fun.

We enjoyed staying at this place during the AF Academy Parent's Weekend. The drive out to the area is beautiful and easy, and we loved this VRBO! It is roomy, super clean, has comfy beds, and was very relaxing! Laura's communication was excellent! Overall, a positive experience, and we would stay here again!

Comfortable stay in a great location
5 stars all the way! During our stay we had everything we needed and more. Beds were comfy and the swing set and trampoline were fun for the kids in the evening. Everything was really clean and Laura checked in on us several times. Great place to stay with a family and we loved the activities around Colorado Springs.

We really enjoyed our time together in Laura's adorable basement apartment. Laura was an amazing and responsive host for the duration of our Christmas stay. The layout of the house was perfect for our party of 6 plus dogs - very comfortable. The kids also enjoyed the use of her spacious yard! Can’t wait to return the this incredible retreat. Thank you!

Would stay here again
Headed home after a week of camping, Laura's property seemed like the perfect place to rest up, clean up, and meet up with family before heading back home. What a great place - super clean, kid- and pet-friendly, nice quiet safe neighborhood, lots of greenspace and nearby to all the conveniences. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking her place on our next trip to Colorado. Thanks Laura!

Very Clean and Easy to Access
My highest priority in a rental is cleanliness and safety. This one is super clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is very quiet and felt safe. Laura left lots of lights on for when we arrived after dark. We stayed here for USAFA Parent’s Weekend. It is a little further from campus but so nice to be away from the crowds of this weekend. We enjoyed the restaurants that are close to this neighborhood. Laura was very helpful and easy to communicate with!

Exploring Colorado Springs
Our stay was amazing. We are a family of six. Even though this property is a basement, it doesn’t feel like a basement at all. It had lots of natural light with a good amount of windows. The bed in the master was big and comfortable. All four of our kids enjoyed the second bedroom where they each had their own bed. The one bathroom was not an issue at all. Nobody felt rushed or crowded. There is also plenty of towels provided. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed for cooking and warming food. It does not have stove/oven. It does have a two burner plug in that I was able to make scrambled eggs on for tacos. We used the toaster oven also and there’s an air-fyer. Now, to the backyard. If you have kids, they will love the backyard. It has a very nice trampoline, playground, hammock, and fire pit. The amazing host, Laura, let us know she was lighting the pit one evening. Our kids had the best time roasting marshmallows and entertaining Laura with stories. Laura was the best host we’ve ever had for a vacation stay! Communication was fantastic and easy. We would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone.

Great place!
Lura was fabulous to work with. Always timely responses to anything I asked her. This property is great and affordable. Another plus was the play structures in the back yard. Baby was a bit too young for them but if we get to come back next year, they’ll be perfect! You literally have everything you need except an oven. But who goes on vacation to cook?!? Not us!! We will definitely be staying here again!

We stayed in the Falcon Hills area as we were visiting family. This home turned out to be less than a half mile away from who we were visiting. Perfect! Loved the little kitchen area with a microwave and every small appliance one would need. It was perfect! It was so nice to feel like we were home with all the quilts around. Perfect!

Lovely location and fun for kids
My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The backyard is big enough for kids to run around and play on the the trampoline or play structure. Very easy access to to some main streets to get you where you need to go! A little away from the main parts of Colorado Springs. but an easy enough drive to get back to major highways, etc....

About the host

Hosted by Laura Schlup

Host profile image
Our family has enjoyed growing up in our small community outside of Colorado Springs. All the conveniences have grown up around us since 1999 to become a town just outside of the city.

Why they chose this property

We chose High Plains Retreat because we desired a large lot for our growing family with space to run, jump, play and build! Our neighborhood schools, parks, recreation centers and walking paths are nearby. The hiking trails of Black Forest and Peyton are just a few miles drive and the hot-spots of Colorado Tourism are within 15-30 minutes. Our home provides the space to entertain friends and family while the children play with friends on the back yard play equipment.

What makes this property unique

Our large lot provides room to separate from neighboring homes; our outdoor play equipment offers hours of fun and our big screen tv, books, games, and WiFi offers entertainment and relaxation for all ages.
