My husband and I came to celebrate our 1 year Anniversary right after Christmas of 2012. This home was more than we expected. From the furnishings to the location, the house was exquisite. When we arrived at the house, we were happy to see the home lit up with Christmas Lights and a nice welcome message from the owner with small gifts for the wife. The kitchen had a complimentary coffee stand with a wonderful blend of coffee along with some favorite creamers. Along with the coffee were all condiments and many varieties of tea. We walked to the living room to see a beautiful Christmas tree lit up. We immediately felt at home as we unpacked our suit cases and stored our clothes in the ample storage space. Everything in the house worked well as we cooked meals and enjoyed the amenities of the house. The bed was so comfortable with many pillows. We slept great while we were there. The couch was very comfortable as well. The home had so many amenities, such as iron and ironing board, shampoo and soap, blow dryer, towels and washcloths for the week. Karen and her husband have a true servants heart as it is evident they want the best for their guest and went above and beyond to provide that. We did not want to leave!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Read a few of the other reviews, this cottage exceeds all expectations. The gracious owner has thought of everything you might want to have on hand, the location is exceptional. You can easily get to any attraction in the area - we certainly did. The information on attractions in the living room was very helpful for us in planning our days. After a tiring day, we did feel like we were coming "home." We appreciated not needing to eat out every meal.Recommended for: Families with young children, adventure seekers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

This property is wonderful; it is very clean, well-kept, and equipped, besides being charming. Most of all, it is a happy, cozy place to spend time with loved ones. The attention to detail in this house is over-the-top. Karen and Brian obviously put a lot of love into this project, and it shows. Karen handles the rental in a very professional manner, and it made me feel secure. I have come to Colorado Springs many times but have only stayed in the house for the first time. It will definitely be my first choice in the future - hands down.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Home was very clean and comfortable. Décor was very light and bright, and the many Parisian touches carried the theme throughout the cottage. It was very convenient to have the washer/dryer, too. The home is centrally located so that nothing to the north or south was more than 15-20 minutes away. We very much appreciated Karen’s recommendations on restaurants to try, and found her picks to be wonderful.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Two retired gals thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay! (that was all we could get in July 2011). The back yard is beautiful and the decorating inside was adorable and oh so clean. I liked all the security too; and the parking spot right outside the back door. The A/C worked good. Never got to sit on front porch as we were on the go. A very nice place, ok neighborhood and owner was very accommodating and prompt in answering questions, etc.Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

About the owner: Owning & managing vacation rentals is my passion. This is my job. My houses were meticulously renovated for the vacation home experience. My work ethics are impeccable and the houses are above and beyond your average rental house. I have traveled to Europe numerous times and feel a connection with the culture, architecture and the general feeling that European properties exude. That is why I've decorated in a French theme. I enjoy sharing our city with others and enjoy making people feel comfortable and special. I will do my best to make your stay comfortable with no worries.
Why the Owner Chose Colorado Springs:
I choose this location because of the historic nature of this area of Colorado Springs. It's called the 'Old North End'. The area started being built in the late 1800's but most along this historic street are early 1900's. This house was built in 1909. I was told by a neighbor that before it was ever a house (before 1909), it used to be a chicken coop for a farm that is still standing a few blocks away. No signs of it anymore though, just the old farmhouse.
It is just a few blocks to the I-25 corridor and is minutes from the city center. You can get virtually anywhere in the city within 20 minutes from this location.
I have lived in Colorado Springs for over 30 years and know the area quite well so I can give you advice or help in any area you need.
