We had a great stay. Beautiful views from the wrap around deck, we loved hanging out there. Enjoyed seeing all the different birds and deer. Great place for our family reunion/vacation. 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.
We stayed with 12 family members total. Everyone loved the gouse and views. Close to fishing for some and city for others.I will say its bot a 5 star resort...dont expect that. We loved it though!
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.
Absolutely loved the house, the view, and the quiet coziness you get for the price. Its nestled near Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods, The cave settlements, and the Cave tour where you can visit the location, tire yourself out then in less than 10 mins be back at the house to take a nap to recharge. Just be mindful driving through the neighborhood there was a lot of deer roaming in the area.
Great location, great views, easy check in process. We had everything we needed as it relates to pots and pans, seasonings and toiletry items. This is very rare. Only problem we had was assuming the additional rooms included a bed and a pull out couch as I read it. It was enough space but the beds were not comfortable for some. Otherwise would recommend for all of the other great features.
Plenty of room for the three family units with kids! Nice suite downstairs. All very quiet, large rooms. Many fun hikes to do with kids a short drive away. Great communication with owner
Gorgeous mountain views and very comfortable! We would definitely stay here again! The location was excellent. We enjoyed many evenings and mornings sitting on the deck!
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The location is beautiful and the host was very easy to work with and quick to respond to messages. Highly recommend!
Great property. Definitely a mountain property so no trails or hiking available at the location but a great place to stay in the Colorado Springs area.
The view from the deck was beautiful. We were close to everything we wanted to do. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us.
The home was great for the two of us and would be absolutely perfect for large groups. The views are stunning, the hot tub is a fantastic bonus and the garage is great. The bed was comfy, and the couch was great for relaxing. Super easy check in and check out.
The house suited our needs for an extended family home base during a wedding. The porch with hummingbirds was relaxing & entertaining. There was plenty of room for separation as needed, Additionally, there were plenty of pots, pans, plates etc.
We enjoyed the house it was very spacious and plenty of room for our big group. The road is very curvy and the driveway is downhill with 3 vehicles was a bit of a challenge at first but we figured it out. The views from the back deck were beautiful.
This is a beautiful home in a very nice location. Plenty of room for everyone. If you love the mountains, you will love the view. The home owner was excellent with communicating.
Plenty of room for everyone, comfortable beds, open floor plan makes it really nice for hanging out together, large kitchen, laundry facilities were great, hot tub clean, and barbeque grill! Nice view of the mountains off the deck. Spent many mornings and evenings on the deck!

Fabulous views
The location has fabulous views and we all loved seeing the wildlife so close up. There were a few things that we felt should have been a little cleaner, but overall, not near as bad as some motels/hotels we have been to and here at least we had plenty of space. My grandkids have already asked me if we can come back!
Love the spaciousness of home. It was perfect for our family. Enjoyed the wildlfe. 3 deer were busy eating and resting just below the deck every day. And the beautiful birds came to the bird feeder everyday.
Would definitely stay again.
The place was very nice. It had a lot of room. The views were awesome. Everything we had plans for was very close. The owner supplied a lot of extras for the house stay. Would diffently recommend it.
It is a bit of a drive on narrow roads and steep climbs so we didn't venture out at night. We saw a lot of deer. It is easy access to Cascade and Manitou Springs.
Great home for a large family. Loved the deck, hot tub, and open kitchen. We forgot many mountain cabins don’t have air conditioning yet many windows open for fresh breeze. Richard was responsive to our needs. Would have liked a few extra blankets, so make sure and ask early for those to make sure they are on site. Some reported beds were not very comfortable. It was clean. Great location to many activities. Loved the Blue moose Tavern.
