Our first stay in Colorado Springs and the cottage was a perfect spot. The house was clean, comfortable and in a super location. We enjoyed walking downtown for the farmers market and breweries. The neighborhood was quiet and sitting out on the back patio was a delight. If we are lucky enough to come back this way we will definitely stay here again!

The house had everything we needed for our four night stay. We were surprised to see how much space we had both inside and out. There were so many thoughtful extras that made our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. There is nothing that could have made our stay better (except time to remain a few more days) and we hope to be able to stay again when we are return to the area.

Awww😃. Your review is so kind. And it’s exactly what we strive for. The cottage is not a business for me. It gives me great pleasure to provide a place for others to spend time away from home where they can relax and enjoy little things that mean a lot. I hope you’ll return.
