Colorado Springs trip

We just had a wonderful stay at this VRBO rental and could not have been happier with the accommodations and Tim (the host). I highly recommend this rental and would stay here in the future if I returned to Colorado Springs.

Friends' annual trip

This property was perfect for our long weekend in Colorado Springs. Tim was the perfect host-bringing us beautiful flowers for the table, providing snacks, and being available if we needed anything. The house was so comfortable and clean. The view from the deck and hot tub is amazing. The garage game room was a favorite. A perfect place to get away with friends and family. Thanks, Tim, for a wonderful stay!

BEST VRBO HOST EVER!!!

Tim is the most gracious, friendliest, most welcoming host I have ever encountered. You leave his property feeling like you have met a new friend. The house was impeccably clean, not to mention the best stocked property we have ever rented. And the views are better than the pictures. Do NOT hesitate to book this property. It really was perfect.

Fantasic Property!

We've stayed in a lot of rental houses and have never experienced a host like Tim. He was so accommodating and attentive with a lot of extra touches most hosts don't do. He left us treats for our stay. The hottub was so clean and the view was gorgeous.

Everything we could want (and more)

Everything about Tim’s place is fantastic. Excellent location and layout, very well appointed, all-around great place for our guys’ stay and play long weekend. Gorgeous view from the back deck, garage full of gaming activities good for hanging out after spending the day hiking and checking out the sites. Have done “this” at a bunch of locations in various states, and this was the best set up we’ve seen. Thx Tim!

There were six of us for a girls' trip and Tim was such an attentive host, ensuring we always had what we needed. Even a surprise for the birthday girl! This property listing is everything he says it is and more. The view from the hot tub was breathtaking—more than ample space for the six of us. Pictures do not do the view justice.

I can’t say enough good stuff about this whole place! Tim is very detailed in everything from getting favorite snacks, wine, having chocolate and flowers on the table when we arrived. The Hot tub and Game Room were a huge hit with our whole family! And the View WOW is just breathtaking! To be able to see Pikes peek and Garden of the Gods right from the deck and watch the most beautiful sunsets while in the hot tub or just relaxing on the deck was amazing! Very good location! If we come back that way we would definitely stay again!

Best House & Best Host!!!

My family and I stayed with Tim and from the moment we booked with him, we felt completely welcomed and could not wait to start our trip. In the weeks leading up to the trip, Tim was very communicative and even helped us with some itinerary decisions as well. When we arrived, he had us wine, snacks, and roses! We truly felt like we were staying in our home away from home. Tim’s place is incredibly clean and very well stocked - anything we needed, he had! From paper towels, to coffee pods, to fluffy towels, the list goes on and on! My dad and brother enjoyed the hot tub and game room every night. The view from the back deck absolutely cannot be beat! We ate dinner out there almost every night. The location is perfect and convenient. We weren’t sure which was better - Tim or his amazing home. There is no better place to stay in Colorado Springs!

Stunning Views

This place is absolutely AMAZING! The views from the deck can’t be beat. We loved sitting in the hot tub as we looked at Pikes Peak. We were within 15 mins from everything we wanted to do. The inside was spacious and we had more than enough room for the 5 of us. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and there were plenty of clean towels for the hot tub and showers. The house was extremely clean! The kids (13, 11, and 3) loved the garage with all the table games. There were plenty of supplies for all of the games! We hope to visit again! Tim was very helpful and kind and thought of every last detail.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Hobson

Host profile image
Hello! My name is Tim Hobson and I'm a Colorado native born and raised in Colorado. I've been in Colorado Springs since 1988 working as an IT Project Manager for 30 years. I've finally decided to break away from the life in a cubical and go back to my love of working with customers. I was a llama / fishing outfitter/guide back in the early 90's. I have backpacked and camped all over Colorado. My main goal is to insure you have a wonderful time when you come to stay in my home. I will go out of my way to make sure you're comfortable, cozy, entertained and happy during your stay. Therefore, this is not just your standard rental. My plan is to add services which will improve your stay. I'll be glad to discuss the activities you're planning in the Colorado Springs area and make sure your vacation is a wonderful experience! I'm looking forward to meeting you.

Why they chose this property

You just can't beat the view from my back deck. I've had many people visit my home and are 'jaw dropped' when they walk out onto my back deck. It really is spectacular. The sunrises and sunsets are soothing to the soul. The hot tub experience is magical. You just won't believe how beautiful it is. Watching the sun go down over Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods and then star gazing into the night is an experience of a lifetime. Of course, location is everything when you come to Colorado Springs. My home is in the heart of so many wonderful attractions.

What makes this property unique

1) Free hiking/fishing guide (me!)
2) Centrally located in the middle of many of the tourist attractions in the area that make the city of Colorado Springs famous.
2) Game room in the garage including ping pong and pool
3) Wildlife come right into the yard.
4) An old, lovely grand piano that sounds wonderful in the sun room.
5) Over 40 board games in the collections (so far). If you have a game you like to play and I don't have it, I'll get it! It's just another addition to my collection of games in the house.
6) One of the most amazing views in Colorado Springs. I've had many friends of mine who are Colorado Springs natives that are stunned to see that I have such an amazing view. The first thing people say when they walk onto the deck is, "Wow... this is amazing." Come see for yourself.
