Annual Family Reunion

Every summer we meet our daughter and her family along with our son and his family in an interesting, exciting and entertaining location We were not disappointed with our stay on Stratton. The 2nd floor bunkhouse was perfect for our 4 grandchildren and the 3 bedrooms plus the Yurt was great and comfortable. Location was very convenient to our intended destinations. Our host was very responsive to our few questions. If you intend to visit Colorado Springs this would be a great place to stay.

Creekside Dream

This home FAR exceeds the listing and Caren was fabulous to work with. We were there for a wedding at the Broadmoor and we couldn’t have picked a better home to stay in. Everyone in our group loved it! We can’t recommend it enough and would definitely stay there again

In the middle of it all

This house is perfectly located in Colorado Springs for any activity you could want. Seven falls is no more than 10 minutes away and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is even closer. We had a great stay at the house for the weekend for a family reunion that was held at the Broadmoor, which, like everything else, was only a short walk from the house. Caren was a great host and I highly recommend this property.

INCREDIBLE HOUSE!

This house was amazing. Beautifully decorated and had all the amenities you could ever need. Caren was super easy to work with. Very responsive and accommodating. The beds were extremely comfortable and it was nice to have starter amenities for our stay (trash bags, soaps, spices, toilet paper, paper towels, etc)! We would love to return to this property. Oh...and we loved how close it was to the Broadmoor and the coffee shop, Sacred Ground!

Fun For All!!!

We enjoyed our 50th wedding anniversary with our kids and grandkids at this beautiful home. The location is close to so many fun activities. Carin was so pleasant and helpful. The grandkids chose staying home to play by the stream over a site-seeing adventure one afternoon. They loved seeing the deer in the yard as they played. Our group of ten (8-71 years of age) had various places to hang out in the house which accommodated gatherings as well as privacy. We all agreed this was a perfect house for our family vacation!!!

Great house & setting

This house served our needs well. The house itself was large and had several areas where you could go for quiet/private time. The setting is amazing: large, private, and beautiful! The bedrooms were great, although the lower one was too hot for the couple that started out in there. When they opened windows, the screens were ripped at the bottom and let in bugs. It wasn't an issue for us because they moved to the bunk room. Lots of nice things in the house that often aren't supplied. Highly recommend this place.

Beautiful Home

Lovely home! The kitchen was well-appointed, and the place was as pictured. I especially appreciated the quality and quantity of dishes and cookware, as well as the bathroom towels and outside towels. The beds were comfortable, and having two fireplaces to go with the unseasonably chilly and wet weather we had was nice. I thought the sound of the creek was pleasant, and we really enjoyed the hot tub. Owner was very attentive and responsive, but we really didn't need anything because everything was already great.

Better than the Broadmoor!!!!

Came to CoSpgs for a wedding at the Broadmoor, but the BEST part of my visit was staying at this VRBO. We had 5 adults from 26-92. Clean, comfortable, close to trails, grocery store, and restaurants. The home is a dream setting with a creek along the side, great fireplace in back with comfy seating all around. Enjoyed sitting around the roaring fire with the water running through the creek as an accompaniment. Lovely! Better than I anticipated!

Stay for USAFA graduation

We stayed over the week of USAFA graduation and it was a perfect retreat for our family from the craziness of all the graduation activities. We really appreciated the long table off the kitchen which was able to seat all 8 of us, plus three other guests for dinner who weren’t staying there with us. The beds were especially comfortable! The outdoor space in the backyard is really great and the host was very friendly and communicative throughout our stay!

These Okies can’t wait to return for a summer-stay

This cottage was EVERYTHING to my family 💗 COVID and life-circumstances had kept us apart for the last 2.5 years. This year, we decided that a weekend away in the mountains was exactly what we needed to center ourselves and our relationships 😍. Caren’s house is amazing! There was plenty of room for our family of 11 (6 adults & 5 kids) even without the yurt which was not accessible due to the cold. We had deer in the yard every single day. We got to experience a Colorado snowfall and New Years with the family was everything i could’ve dreamed of. Beds are comfy and the showers are near-perfection. We had groceries delivered from both Walmart and Safeway without incidence. The kitchen is well stocked. If i could make a specific recommendation about “Things to do” in Colorado Springs….PLEASE check out the Beginners Falconry Experience at the Broadmoor!!! It’s expensive but SO worth it for kids/adults who are into birds and nature! Truly an experience we will never forget! Seriously cannot wait to return to this little piece of heaven!

Beautiful Colorado house

We came with our young kids, my parents and a sitter. The kids loved the rock room and the upstairs area where they could play/watch tv/sleep. We enjoyed the sitting area next to the creek and seeing the occasional deer walk through the yard. Caren was very accommodating and great with communicating with us before and during our trip. It’s 2 miles from the Broadmoor so the location is perfect for going back and forth. We would love to come back every year!

Hallmark-like bungalow perfect for a large family

10 of us stayed in this wonderful property, ages ranged from 14 to 75! Three couples and four teenagers. It’s close to all the sites and perfectly lovely. Caren was the best and checked in with us regularly. Available, but not intrusive. The yurt (TB Hut) was a nice addition too. My 18 year old son enjoyed staying in it. If we visit again we’d definitely stay again. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!
