Vacation Rentals by Owner

Wonderful experience in Colorado

Guest: Chris (Sheboygan, WI)
Date of Stay: 09/22/11 Review Submitted: 11/01/11

We stayed in this lovely home for 5 days at the end of September, 2011 to attend a wedding at the Garden of the Gods. We had such a wonderful time and there were 9 of us from Wisconsin, Florida, Tennessee and California who stayed there; all relatives. It is a very spacious home and we enjoyed the scenery while sitting on the back deck. It was very clean and loved the "ice maker". We grilled Wisconsin brats on the grill and watched the "Packers" play on Sunday. All in all, great home and would like to thank the owners for sharing it with us.

Owner response:You guys were wonderful guests. We really appreciated how clean it was after your check-out! Blessings, Misty

Wonderful rental for a family reunion

Guest: Marilyn (Albuquerque, NM)
Date of Stay: 07/29/11 Review Submitted: 08/11/11

Our family (6 adults & 2 children ages 5 & 6) had a terrific stay in this home. Everything about the rental far exceeded our expectations....squeaky clean kitchen & baths......comfortable beds with wonderful linens.....plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The kitchen was completely appointed with every dish or pan we needed. The kids had such fun in the game room, playing tetherball, and climbing in the tree house. Sitting on the upper deck or lower patio, one would never suspect we were only 10 minutes from shopping, restaurants and I-25, making it an ideal location to enjoy the sites in and around Colorado Springs. The marathon runner in our group had an early morning run in the open space about 1/2 mile from the house. Misty was a pleasure to work with! We would definitely recommend this rental to others.

Owner response:You were a pleasure to have as renters. Thank you for choosing our home. Many blessings!

Family Vacation

Guest: Nat (West Des Moines, Iowa)
Date of Stay: 07/24/11 Review Submitted: 07/31/11

The house was in excellent condition, very nicely decorated, and worked great for our group (3 families - 6 adults & 7 children). The older kids (12, 9, 5 & 3) loved the game room, toys, and family friendly movies, and it was super easy to take care of the younger ones (22 month old twins & 8 months) since the home was "clutter-free." The home is very comfortable and definitely feels like a home away from home! Our family was able to relax and just enjoy our time together. The location is about 5-10 minutes from supermarkets and restaurants and about 40 minutes to the Manitou Springs sites. The nearby park has some great mountain views. Misty was very easy to work with. I would highly recommend this home, especially for families with children!

Owner response:Thank you for your kind words. You were also wonderful to work with and we truly appreciate you choosing our home. Blessings! Misty

Sisters & Families Vacation

Guest: Sisters (Kansas City & St Louis)
Date of Stay: 07/09/11 Review Submitted: 08/10/11

Our large group (14 adults + 2 small children) found the house to be plenty large enough so we were not in each others way. The house was pleasantly decorated and very tidy. The game room & toys were a hit during the little down time we had. The deck was an added bonus and we did spend a fair amount of time out there enjoying the fresh Colorado air or eating outside. Misty was a delight to work with. I would highly recommend this home, especially for families with children! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Owner response:So glad you had an enjoyable time. Thank you for choosing our home! Blessings!

Family Vacation

Guest: Tired but happy (Pierce, NE)
Date of Stay: 06/03/11 Review Submitted: 06/14/11

The home was perfect for the 8 adults and 3 children. It was clean and well maintained. There was room to spread out and yet room to eat and play games together. We could see the sights and be back to the house in a short while for meals or rest. It was exactly like it was shown in photos and described. I would recommend it to anyone traveling to Colorado Springs.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind words. Thank you also for the excellent condition you left the home in. Blessings! Misty

Date of Stay: 04/06/11 Review Submitted: 04/21/11

Our son was married at the USAF Academy and we spent the week at this Vacation Home. The home is awesome and well taken care of. The owners are easy to communicate and give great instructions. I enjoyed the lay out of the home and especially the location. It's located in a quiet area and on a corner lot with lots of room. I'm glad we picked this home and would do so again.

Owner response:Thank you so much for choosing our home! You were wonderful renters - you guys left it in excellent condition at check-out. Many thanks!

Great Location - Beautiful House - Highly Recommended

Guest: Cali (Edwardsville, Illinois)
Date of Stay: 11/24/10 Review Submitted: 12/05/10

Everything was exactly as advertised. We enjoyed our stay here so very much! Misty was great working with us on dates - I felt she went out of her way to accomadate us. She is also very promt about answering calls and emails. The beds are all very comfortable - top notch. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware and dishes - nothing has been left out. I would highly recommend this house to all my friends and family. We had a total of three familes staying here (6 adults and 1 child) - there was more than enough room to spread out and be comfortable. Our security deposit was returned promptly (it nearly beat us home).

Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind words. It was easy to work with you and I am so glad you were comfortable. You are always welcome back! Blessings, Misty

Great family reunion location!

We had a wonderful four-generation reunion at this lovely house. Even with our large age range, the entire group had fun. The kids loved scouting the area attractions, and the adults savored mornings together on the deck overlooking the woods. The owners were extremely helpful and easy to work with. Everything was as described, and well-maintained. Thank you!

You have a wonderful home. Large, clean and spacious. We had three families staying here and there was enough room to hold family dinners for our soccer team of 15 girls. Kitchen had every utensil or item we could have ever needed. Great entertainment provided for all ages. The little kids especially enjoyed the tree house with slide. Ping Pong and basketball game were big hit with all guest. The internet was a big bonus for us. There was enough parking for everyone and very close to the Air Force Academy. Thank You for allowing us in your home and we would love to return for a family vacation one day.

Our multi-generation family enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The house is very nice, comfortable, spacious, very clean, restful and worked well for our family configuration. The owners were easy to work with and were quick to rectify any problem that arose. Shortly after this trip, we received our security deposit promptly.

Lovely home. Spacious and very comfortable. Location was wonderful. We were close enough to many activities, but yet far enough away from the city.

This property is an excellent location for folks wishing to be near the Air Force Academy (10 minutes away and minimal traffic to get there). Well appointed and accomodated 10 people comfortably. Easy access to I-25 and close to super market and restaurants.
