Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Colorado Springs
I bought this property as my primary residence in 2004. Fairly new to Colorado Springs I wanted to be downtown close to all the amenities: shopping, restaurants, recreational activites and cultural events. I enjoyed living here so much that when relocated I thought it would make a great place for visitors to the Springs and put it on VRBO. I frequently get repeat guests and the house is ideal for couples or small families looking for a comfortable, affordable, and convenient place to enjoy their vacation and extended stays.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Centrally located only 3 blocks from the Interstate 25. Two blocks from Tejon Street- Colorado Springs main downtown street. Very close to Colorado College, Fine Arts Center, Convention and Visitors Bureau, shops, restaurants, night clubs.

cozy cottage
Guest: Barb from colorado

Date of Stay: 01/25/12
Review Submitted: 02/01/12
We just had our third stay at Lori's cottage. As usual it was comfortable and warm. Bailey, the dog, has now decided that this is her "vacation home". It is nice to have the use of the kitchen, washer and dryer. Had a very very nice dinner at Blue Star on south Tejon this time. Lori is prompt to respond to inquiries and will answer your questions. Thanks Lori.

And it was.... we really wanted to come back in February, after a fantastic Thanksgiving stay. We couldn't picture ourselves staying in a hotel over the holidays, and wanted to bring our dog. The house was very clean and well equipped. We checked in at 2pm and were eating turkey by about 6ish! It was perfectly situated for our needs.

This house is easy to find and the location is excellent. It was very clean and the beds were WONDERFUL!! I slept better here than at home. Loved hearing the train whistle. Also enjoyed eating at the nearby Old Depot Restaurant. It was so nice to be able to let the dogs outside without worrying about them escaping. The neighbors were quiet and friendly. We would definitely recommend this property to our friends and, hopefully, we will get to visit again. Thanks, Lori!!

This is our second stay at Lori's house. We have a cadet at USAFA and really appreciate the fact that there are separate bedrooms. The house is very comfortable and has everything you have a home including Internet. Lori is excellent to work with and booking is very easy.

Located close to highways that easily take you to tourist attractions, restaurants, parks and shopping (grocery) centers. Close to Colorado Spring's Memorial Park, which was a great place to walk the dog and walk/run around the mile loop circling the lake. It also had great playgrounds for the kids, plus tennis courts, etc. It was nice to have your own place with a kitchen and washer/dryer that you can use when you wanted. Would stay there again when visiting the area.

This house was perfect for us. My daughters could sleep in and I could get up and have coffee without disturbing them. Very close to downtown and at a location that was easy to get on a major street and "see the sights". This is definitely going on our list of "places where we will stay again."

Wonderful "home away from home"

Thank you Lori for sharing your wonderful home. It was the ideal "home away from home" during our family's vacation. My boys enjoyed not having to share a bed & it was so convenient to be able to cook our own meals in the well-furnished kitchen. Definitely a money saver! It was also very easy to find our way to all the various attractions from the house. We will definitely stay there again if we ever make it back to the Springs.

Best Bargin

Thanks for the home away from home. The house was so cute and cozy, and such a bargin!! You had all you could ask for, cheaper than a hotel. I love the way it was decorated. In the morning you can have your coffee on the front porch and watch the sun hit the beautiful mountins, the best view to start the day. Lori was so friendly and helpful, she was even able to get me a pack and play for my baby. (very baby prof house :-) We hope to come back soon.

We had a very pleasant stay in Lori's VRBO rental. We had everything we needed to be comfortable while we visited Colorado Springs. The house is withing walking distance to many restaurants, shops, nightlife, etc. Great alternative to a hotel/motel and at a fraction of the cost. We definitely recommend this rental and would stay there again.

Wonderful Vacation Spot- Great Value

We had a great time staying at Lori's rental home in downtown Colorado Springs. The property is extremely close to the interstate as well as all of the downtown restaurants. The rental is also a great value for a small family and allowed us to spend more of our vacation budget on other special excursions such as the Cog railway. We would highly recommend this quaint Victorian home if you are looking for an affordable hub for exploring the Pikes Peak region.
