We loved our house in Colorado Springs! Our hosts were so helpful with everything, especially traveling with a 10 month old, and they went over and above to accommodate us! We came to Colorado Springs for my son’s graduation from Nurse Practitioner school at UCCS and it was an amazing time with friends and family! Thank you Brent and Jenn for everything!

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so glad you had a great time in Colorado Springs and that the house worked well for your family, especially traveling with a little one. It was a privilege to be part of such a special occasion celebrating your son’s graduation from University of Colorado Colorado Springs Nurse Practitioner program. What an incredible accomplishment!
We loved hosting you and your family, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime your travels bring you to Colorado again.

Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad our home was the perfect place for your visit with your cadets and that you found it just as described. Being conveniently located near the Academy makes it a great spot for families, and we’re happy it worked well for your stay. We’d love to host you again anytime! Safe travels and best wishes to you and your cadets!
This property was great and met the needs of our group of two couples. The kitchen was well supplied as were the bathrooms. It was in a convenient location to local restaurants and sites we were keen to visit, and we enjoyed morning walks around the neighborhood and discovered a great walking/biking path not far away. We were all pleased with the unit and enjoyed a couple of nights in with pizza and soccer games! Parking was convenient and the backyard activities were a nice bonus. We enjoyed brisk mornings sitting out on the backyard deck with our coffee. The owners were great to communicate with, though we really needed nothing during our stay. We would definitely return! It was much bigger inside than we thought from the street! Having the washer and dryer on site was amazing and we took full advantage! Overall 5 stars!
Our small family stayed here for our daughter’s college graduation. It was a perfect and quiet location and met all of our needs. All of the amenities were great and the beds were comfortable! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
This was the perfect fit for our family together. There's nothing fancy about this place, but it is well thought out and all of what we needed and then some was there. The space is open and great for gathering either inside or out.
The owners were amazingly responsive. Fabulous location in Colorado Springs. The house was very spacious and well appointed. Loved the chess set and toys. Will absolutely book again!

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the chess set. We would love to hose you again!
Enjoyed clean, bright, spacious, comfortable and well prepared duplex. Quiet, comfortable beds, adequate hot water, guide books and notebook with local food and sites of interest appreciated.Grocery store and gasoline nearby. Many activities with a half hour drive of Vrbo. Definitely recommend!
This house was just perfect for our stay in Colorado Springs. We had two couples and more than enough room. It was nice that each couple had their own space (one up and one down). The house is decorated very cute and the kitchen was well stocked. The neighborhood was quiet and in a centrally located area for everything that we wanted to get to. Thanks for a great stay!
The owners are very kind & responsive. We appreciated the supply of paper products, the comfortable beds the supply of towels. The location was perfect for our activities in both Manitou & Colorado Springs. There were plenty of restaurants & stores nearby.

We had a long weekend for family time and kids activities. This was a great location, close to many amenities. We enjoyed the back yard and having space for our entire family. We enjoyed meals together and the toys for our little one was a plus!! Thank you for the nice stay!
House was very clean, spacious and very well stocked. Location is great, just off highway and a quick drive to some of the sites. Owners reached out to us a couple of times to make sure we had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable! Nice finished basement. Highly recommend this place!

Thank you for recommending our place. I'm glad it worked out for you family and you liked the location. Thanks for choosing our place! We are grateful!
The home was a great place to relax with 3 of my kids (ages 6 to 11) while we were in Colorado Springs while 1 of my kids went to a camp nearby. The kitchen was a great help... I was able to save money on dining out by making meals and grilling during the week. Everyone was comfortable; the AC worked well and the beds were cozy. Plenty of room for us! I appreciated the interior design... felt like our home away from home.
Perfect for our group of 3 couples in town for family reunion. Close to all the things to do, and practical things like grocery. Great communication with host, appreciated 3 king beds!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We appreciate you choosing our place! Take care.
We had a quick business trip where we needed to have a place to stay and a place to meet all day. This place was perfect! Bright and cheery atmosphere, TV easily connected to our laptops for viewing, the backyard was a fun break in between sessions. The hosts were 'johnny on the spot' anytime I reached out with a question. We will definitely be back!

Inviting home in a great location with excellent hosts
I recently stayed at this fantastic VRBO listing, which exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home.The property was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The backyard truly stood out, adding a special touch to the experience.The location was perfect. It offered easy access to activities and restaurants and provided a relaxing and unwinding experience.Overall, my experience was nothing short of amazing. The hosts were incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was seamless.
Our family of six stayed here for the week while we were in town to drop off our son for I-Day at USAFA. The home is very spacious and comfortable. Absolutely everything I normally pack to stay in a VRBO was provided, which was such a pleasant surprise. The kitchen was completely stocked, which I very much appreciated since we ate all our meals in. We had a wonderful time soaking in those last few days with our basic cadet playing the yard games and the many provided board games. Location was super convenient to both stores and USAFA. We are already looking forward to our next stay here for Parent’s Weekend.
