This was a perfect place for my family, friends and most importantly my dogs! We had so much fun playing the games both inside and outside of the property. The hot tub was the icing on the cake after a long hike with the dogs. The host was awesome and very responsive. Great neighbor for walking your dog and the views are beautiful.

A lovely home, cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed in, and the best stocked for a group of 10. The design of the home was great for 3 families, good flow from living, dining room and kitchen. The teens loved having the lower level to themselves with access to the hot tub, a wet bar like area for snacks, and noise didn't travel upstairs. Three roomy bedrooms on the main level was ideal for the 6 adults. We loved the quiet residential area that is dog friendly. There is a dog and young kid park 2 blocks away. Any place you might need to go was close by and convenient. We all highly recommend this location, and will definitely stay here again when we return to the area again. Thanks for a wonderful family vacation!

A Place for Family Memories

We booked this home for its proximity to the Air Force Academy, and found to be a great place for family memories. The patio, large kitchen and enormous dining room table were perfect for making and enjoying meals together. The hot tub and games added to the fun. The host was very attentive and helpful.

Family Get Together

Once a year my family likes to all meet up to visit with each other. There are 14 of us so finding accommodations that are large enough has been a challenge. This space was perfect for everyone, very clean and well put together. There is enough room that when you need a break from family time you can find another quite space to go to and relax. The dining room was great, the table fit everyone perfectly. After meals it was great for cards. The hot tub was very clean and on a quieter side of the house so it was nice to go in and enjoy some downtime. The neighborhood is adorable, we loved enjoying the beautiful fall colors during our stay. We would 100% stay here again.

Very nice

Our stay was during an extremely hot week. Only the main living room had air conditioning, the other three bedrooms had cooling units, which were more like fans. Only the master had a ceiling fan. There were 15 people - 8 adults and 7 children. I’m not sure why the listing said the house sleeps 20. Even with 2 in each of the bunk beds, we could only count 18. All in all, we had a great time. Loved the large dining table.

Lots of space & comfortable home in quiet neighborhood.

My husband & I stayed in this home with our dog, Murphy, for almost a week. We didn’t need all the space, but it was a great base location to explore the Colorado Springs area. The home is comfortably decorated and the kitchen has the basics to be able to cook & serve most meals. Tanya was quick to respond when we had a question, and gave easy to understand instructions for beginning & ending our stay. If you stay in the snow months, the driveway is steep so watch your step! The yard is mostly hardscape, & planted areas, so if your dog is approved, walks in the hilly neighborhood will be necessary. Bear Creek Dog Park is not too far by car & worth the drive. We would definitely recommend this property for a large family, but worked well for just the two of us! Thank you, Tanya!

Woodman Valley Wooded Oasis Home

The house was large & nice furnishings...really comfortable beds upstairs, but the full size bunk bed mattresses were not that comfortable. We were surprised with a welcome basket of goodies accompanying the house rules notebook. The kitchen had plenty of flatware & plates & salad bowls, however, It lacked some of the cooking utinsils we needed...a can opener that worked, butcher-block type sharp knives, colander, etc. We only used the hot tub the first night we were there because it sprayed a lot of water out of the tub & onto the floor if you leaned back against the back of the tub. Actually, even just having the jets on & no people in the tub it was squirting water onto the floor due the very forceful jets in the tub. The floor of the room was covered in water. We sopped it up with towels, but it even leaked under the sliding glass door & onto the carpet in the next room. I spoke with Tanya, the property manager, about these issues & she was very pleasant to deal with. I LOVED the large table in the dining room...we had 7 adults & 2 children & there was plenty of seating space for us all. The kids enjoyed the bunk beds (but those mattresses were not very comfortable) in the basement & the old fashioned video arcade-type game in the room. A few negatives to the place was that the trash can & trash bags were stored in the garage, & it smelled really, really bad in the garage (we opened a window in there to help some, but it really stunk) . All the trash from the previous tenants was overflowing around the trash can, as trash pickup was on Mondays or Tuesdays...we checked in on Saturday & out on Monday. There is not much room in the back yard, it was pretty small, & I don't think there was any grass,, but they did have a nice firepit back there. We did enjoy being able to spend our mornings & evenings together in the house, which was plenty large enough, nice bedrooms & bathrooms.

Overall loved this house and the indoor hot tub and quiet secluded neighborhood. House was clean but some missing light bulbs and WiFi was spotty. Roku remote didn’t work for streaming Direct TV, so had to use You Tube TV on the TV remote Apps. Property manager communicated well and responded in a timely manner to all My questions.

Great week in Colorado Springs

This home was perfect for our party of 12--six adults, six kids. There were plenty of beds for all to enjoy a comfortable sleep. The kitchen was large enough to handle multiple "cooks," and the large dining room table allowed all 12 of us to enjoy meals together. In addition, the lower level--with bunk beds, video games, and various table games--was a great place for the kids to hang out. The home's location made all the Colorado Springs experiences easily accessible. Tanya was an excellent host, and our week in Colorado Springs was a wonderful vacation.

Nice place to stay in a quiet neighborhood

It was a great place for our needs. The house was clean and in a quiet location. It is an older house though with a few minor repairs needed i.e. a couple outlets didn't work & sticky sliding doors. It was a great place to relax and it was not too far from several places you might want to visit.

Over great stay.

Overall everything was great. Large property that fit our family of 12 with extra room. Hot tub was great and furniture was comfortable. Basement was much colder than the rest of the house, but there were multiple space heaters available. Kitchen had cookware for basic needs, but isn’t great quality. Plenty of plates and other dishes available. Coffee was provided which was nice. Landlord was easy to reach and responsive. We would definitely recommend this property.

About the host

Our family has lived in Colorado off and on since 2000. We started using short term rentals years ago due to our large family that loves to travel together and realized we wanted to create that experience in Colorado Springs. We own four vacation rental homes in the area and love to give great friends and families like ours the ultimate vacation rental experience.

Why they chose this property

This is a property located in a wonderful neighborhood that makes you feel like you are staying at a retreat in the woods, and is within a couple minutes of great hiking, Garden of the Gods, The Air Force Academy, the Olympic Training Center, restaurants and stores. This custom home will make your group feel instantly at home, a place we would want to rent if we visited Colorado Springs.

What makes this property unique

Indoor hot tub, newly renovated bathrooms, new flooring, wooded backyard with a fire pit, arcade, chess, board games, mini pool, and foolsball table, and the perfect shade in the summer time.
