Thank you very much Mike. It was a pleasure to finally meet you and your wife. I appreciate you coming back to stay at my house. It's something special to have the same guest come back several times. The house looked great. Good luck to your son in his Airforce career.

Property and house could use some sprucing up. Location was excellent. Good communication with host. Home was large enough to accommodate our family. Kitchen and house supplies were very good. We enjoyed the hot tub and time on the deck watching hummingbirds and momma deer and her twins.

The place was very clean! The host was very nice, respectful, helpful, and very responsive. It was really nice having an open line of communication with a host. You don't really get that type of service. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and was able to get us anything else we requested. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, from essentials to cleaning supplies. I truly appreciate everything he did to make this trip so special for us.Thank you so much for being such an amazing host!

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. The Mount Esther trail, aka RTP trail head is about a quarter of a mile to the east on mountain road from the house. It is only a 5 minute walk from the house.

Memorial Weekend

This house is very family friendly. My 7 month old had plenty of room to crawl around and it was very baby safe. My 5 year old loved how she could go outside on the deck and watch for wildlife and go walking in the woods. Very comfortable stay and beautiful views. Very easy to get to just about anywhere. We would definintly stay here again.

Convenient location to get to various attractions and to Woodland Park and Manitou Springs. Comfortable beds, plenty of pillows and bedding. 2 kitchens which came in handy. Hot tub was perfect. Communication with Mr. Laggart was great, very quick and responsive. We recommend staying here.
