Great spot steps from Garden of the Gods

A very comfortable, well appointed half of a duplex. Across the street from horse stables and a half mile from the entrance of Garden of the Gods. Very clean and well supplied, with free snacks and water bottles, and wine for a small donation. Plus, we asked for a high chair and they delivered it almost immediately at 7 or 8 pm.

Wonderful Experience

This Vrbo is nestled right in the mountain with amazing views and wildlife. It is also right across from a horse ranch, which I highly recommend visiting, so even on the mornings we’re deer are scarce you can see the horses

Amazing vacation stay

We wanted a nice, clean, relaxing place for our vacation that still offered plenty of things to do. This place was perfect! Beautiful, exceptionally clean, and centrally located to all we wanted to do. Watched horses, does, and numerous bucks every night.

Anniversary Trip

Wonderful cottage, very clean and nice. Well located to Garden of the Gods. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host does an excellent job with all the amenities, even wine for a nominal donation. Highly recommend. The only thing that was a little surprise was the smell of the horse stable when we arrived and periodically during our stay. Would recommend and would love to stay again!

Friend Reunion Weekend

This was an amazing property and location for our trip! We ziplined with nearby Adventures Out West and had a blast, hiked Garden of the Gods, window shopped, and dined at nearby restaurants. But honestly it was hard to leave to do anything because this was such a relaxing spot! The views are wonderful and outdoor space is private because the home is located on a private drive. Highly recommend for any group, unless you can’t do stairs. We can’t wait to come back!

About the host

Host profile image
We are from the midwest but have lived in Colorado long enough to consider ourselves semi-natives. We love Colorado's climate boasting an average of 247 days of sunshine a year, the mountains, hiking, skiing and the great outdoors with all Colorado has to offer!

Why they chose this property

This property is located in a quiet rustic area with a country feel, privacy and a relaxed setting.

What makes this property unique

You can watch the horses go by from the yard. A short walk to Garden of the Gods Park! Close to many attractions including Manitou Springs and Pikes Peak. It's not unusual to see wildlife.
