Counting Stars Adobe is the most warm and inviting home away from home. Everything has been thought of that you might need and the owner responds promptly to questions. Off street parking with garage is a plus as was the rooftop observatory at night. The kitchen was not only well stocked but easy to use. The home was super clean and the air conditioning keeps the home comfortable.

From reservations to check out, our host exceeded all our expectations. The location was ideal to everything in the area. Every guest need was anticipated and provided for. Communication was timely and friendly. Beds and chairs were extremely comfortable and the linens and towels were great. The water heater seemed endless. Our host even made us a yummy welcome cookie. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Perfect location and Hostess

This property was amazing - the hostess thought of ever imaginable detail and our almost 3 week stay could not have been more magical. The location is perfect for hiking and sites to visit. This was a great stay for my adult children and myself to “shelter in place” over the Christmas holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Short

Host profile image
My husband and I love the Colorado Springs area are thrilled to be able to call this beautiful area home. We fell in love with this home immediately and decided to make it our "home" away from home and to share this unique living experience with others. The feeling you get from sitting on the roof top deck is unparalleled from most vacation lodging. We have lived all over the world and have moved many times and feel so fortunate to make the Pikes Peak Region our permanent home. We have worked very hard to make this home an unique lodging and "homey" experience for the traveler. We hope this vacation home will become a favorite lifetime memory for you and your family.

By also living in the area I am available if the need arises to help your vacation experience be the best it can be. Enjoy the personal touch of having the owner living in the area and manage the property.

Why they chose this property

Colorado boasts 300 days of sunshine. Colorado Springs offers majestic views and a wonderful lifestyle and easy access to all the wonders of the Rocky Mountains.
