Fantastic communication and welcome

Property owner was top notch with communication - fast replies, info and rental was ready early even though we weren't. House is on a nice street for walking your dog. Unfortunately there are a lot of homeless people in the area/neighborhood, on the streets and sleeping on sidewalks. We had a great time visiting with our nephew. Went to Rudy's BBQ nearby for takeout which was very good. And the next day, before we left, we stopped at The Jive Coffee Shop only a few blocks away and had the best breakfast croissant sandwich and iced mocha to go. Overall, I would highly recommend this owner, we would stay here again if we came back to the area. The house was clean, cute little setup and well stocked for our needs.

Wonderful long weekend getaway

This house is cuter than the photos, it has character and I loved it! The backyard was a great place to relax and unwind after whatever adventure we may have been on. It had everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, plus extra. There really are deer in the neighborhood, we came back one night and there they were right across the street! The location is absolutely perfect for anything in the Pikes Peak area. Communication with Christina was easy and clear, making check in and out a simple process. I hope if I'm back in town, it is available again!

Great Home Base for Colorado Springs

The home was as advertised. Clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and in a great location. We had a party of 4 so it worked well with the two bedrooms. The beds were comfortable and the ability to regulate the temperature in the home [to combat some of the mid-day heat] was really nice. Sometimes rentals will hard code the thermostat :) The kitchen was perfect and had living room had just enough room for us to enjoy a late evening. The neighborhood was quiet and we got to meet the neighbors who were very nice. If I had to suggest any improvements it would be update the carpeting, ceiling fans and add more incandescent lighting in the kitchen and living room. These items are definitely not problematic but would be the cherry on the top of a great vacation rental!!

Perfect place

We had a great stay! Host thought of everything. So many more little extras you don’t see in most rentals. We brought our dog and the yard was perfect for him since it was totally fenced. Short walk to OCC Brewing Co and short drive to Garden of the Gods. We walked there every morning. This was the best place we’ve stayed yet in our Colorado adventures!

Totally comfortable

No detail has been overlooked here. Everything you could possibly need is provided. The entire house is comfortable & well lighted- a welcoming space. We stayed 4 nights during March. We appreciated the warm furnace, cozy furniture & the umbrellas. The neighbors were quiet. We were able to walk easily around Old Colorado City from this location. The host was friendly & helpful.

Fantastic!

This house is in a great location! Walkable to old Colorado City, a short drive to many different amazing hikes, and a nice quiet neighborhood a couple of blocks away from a park. Perfect little backyard for lounging in the afternoon with a drink and our dog or enjoying the cool crisp air in the morning with our coffee. Owner was super responsive and easy to communicate with. House is truly fully stocked. Can’t recommend it enough, we will definitely be back!

Great Location

House was perfect for everything we wanted to do in Colorado Springs. It’s close to walk into old town and grab great bbq,shop, and drink great beer. Dog friendly and easy to walk to a park and just stroll around a great neighborhood. Lots of wildlife around the area and was startled more then once with a big deer on front of the house. We saw black bear when we took the train up to Pikes Peak, Deer everywhere, saw a Rocky Mountain big horn sheep at Garden if the Gods. Great home don’t hesitate to book it!!!

Great backyard and location

First, I'll say I wish all BNB places were this good. Christina let me know days in advance how to get in. It's really annoying to get that day of, not at computer, don't want to install app, etc. She was very responsive.. awesome, thanks! House is great, location is great, backyard is super. Couple small things that could be improved: Deadbolt does not engage. It's a solid 1/8" low. Easy to fix, not rocket science.. please fix it. Has additional bar as a lock (like in hotels) so not a big deal when you're in the house. I could not find a cutting board for the life of me. Lots if knives, no board. LED lights are awful. This is everywhere, not specific to this place. You can get incandescent under 100w still. I'd do so for living room. Dining area is big overhead fluorescent, so not particularly cozy either. These are minor gripes. Also in living room, the fan and light are both on a dimmer. Pretty sure you're not supposed to dim a ceiling fan. Depending on how many wires you have, you can probably get a fan/light combo. They're out there (Lutron). I also loved the check out procedure: text Christina! How easy is that. Some places are like sweep the floors, start the laundry, take garbage to curb, on and on. I appreciate that. Would stay again. Definitely recommend.

Perfect place to stay

We had a wonderful stay. The place was close to everything we needed, very close to Pike’s Peak and Garden of the Gods. It was also in walking distance to a park we took our dog to play. The house was clean and well equipped. The neighborhood was quiet and the backyard was a nice place to relax.

Five stars isn’t enough!!

The most peaceful neighborhood.. We enjoyed everything about our stay. The tourist sights and mountains were great, but the house and the neighborhood were better. Just walking around the block with my wife in the morning, and hitting the local garage sales couldn’t have been better. The house may be small but the host thought of everything.. Even the local grocery store club card.. Would definitely stay again.

A lovely home and responsive host

This home is darling! It is very clean, both inside and outside. Nice fenced back yard for the dog to roam around. Centrally located to a lot of activities. It is nestled in a neighborhood of older homes full of character. A nice park is located 1.5 blocks from the home. Christina is very responsive and available by text if we needed anything. The home is comfortable and cozy. Beds and furniture was also very comfortable. We truly enjoyed our 6 day stay at this lovely home. If we are ever back to the area, we will definately stay here again. We really appreciate that dogs were allowed here. Thank you for a wonderful stay Christina.
