My husband and I really enjoyed our honeymoon at the property! The owners live just close enough so that they were available for anything that came up, and also far enough away that we felt secluded and alone. The house was clean and beautiful and such a great space for us to spend as our first week married! Any problems that did arise were out of the owner's control and we still had a very peaceful stay.
This house sits against the foothills in a beautiful location. We awoke to birds singing and enjoyed breakfast on the porch. It was as lovely. The interior is great, king bed comfortable, and found the owners very kind and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again!
My kids and I loved staying here! It's a remote, gorgeous location -- but it was also quick to get back into town. The cabin was surprisingly roomy and very clean. There was a little bunny outside our door each morning. We had a great time.
Perfect setting and location for our stay which included a concert at Red Rocks, a tour of Celestial Seasonings tea factory, a visit to Boulder, Colorado Springs, Manitou, Garden of the Gods, and Pikes Peak. This mountain cabin was clean, comfortable, private, and filled with all the amenities we needed. We will definitely stay there again!
This property was as described and more. Was a great fit for our family of 5. Large mule deer outside the cabin every night and morning. Friendly and very responsive owners. Everything was perfect and would definitely book again!
The home and amenities were fantastic. My son and I stayed for 4 nights after spending a week in Boulder. Visited many of the local attractions and was great to come back to the house after hiking. Very clean and would highly recommend.
My wife and I stayed at this property to enjoy some down time after a weekend-long work engagement in Colorado Springs. It is a nice, quiet property in a beautiful valley, clean, with everything in working order.Communication with the owners was easy and promptly answered. Directions to the property were accurate and easy to follow. Plenty of room for four people with the two king beds.Room for improvement - maybe we missed it, but we should have brought slippers as the owners request no shoes in the house. There's a nice mud room which helped with this and all of our rain gear during our stay. We ended up buying cheap slippers.There are great food options nearby in Palmer Lake.My wife and I have stayed at maybe 20 different VRBO properties by now and this was one of the best if not the best we've experienced. We want to stay at this property again for our next trip to the area. We would recommend to friends and family.
This cute little quaint cabin was perfect for our family! Close to great restaurants, shopping and live music! And, came back to the cabin to turn in and watch a movie, it was just what the doctor ordered, from our busy lives!
This property was very well kept and beautiful! It is in a rural location outside of Colorado Springs ( but easy to get to and very relaxing!)
The location is on the owners home property but it is very private and would definitely stay there again!
My husband and I stayed here 8 days for our 20th anniversary! It was perfect in every way!! The cabin was spotelss and very cozy!! The bed was very comfortable Located in a very secluded area (which we loved) but also close to restaurants and stores. Ashley was a gracious host and answered our questions quickly! I highly recommend mountain escape!!
We had such a wonderful time at the cabin! It is very well-maintained, super clean, and cozy! Beautiful wood railings, two king beds, and even fluffy towels! Communication with the host was excellent, and instructions for arrival were very clear. My husband and father in law were here for a wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch, which is less than 10 minutes away. Definitely would do it again! Thank you!
It’s so incredibly private and peaceful, in an idyllic country setting. Incredible attention to detail in the decor. Comfortable beds, soft linens. Gorgeous stained glass windows in unexpected places. I’ll be back!
This was a very nice little cabin. My brothers wedding venue was minutes away. I was very impressed with the kitchen having all needed items. The bathroom is very well kept and added bonus of washer and dryer. The rooms are very nice with very comfortable memory foam beds. Happened to be the same brand of mattress as at home! The running stream near by was very relaxing. Can not recommend this place enough!
I can’t say enough good things about this charming cabin with all of the modern conveniences. I booked it for a wedding but I plan to come back for myself for fun.
Hosts were thoughtful but not intrusive at all.
Bonus for me as a horse person to be surrounded by farms and enjoyed seeing the mares and foals across the field in the morning
The cabin was well appointed, clean and organized. It was well represented by the listing online. We attended a wedding at nearby Spruce Mountain Ranch and it was less than 15 minutes. There was plenty of shopping nearby and restaurants.
Our only suggestion is that the downstairs bedroom have shades or something more substantial than sheets for the windows as the sun is bright in the mornings.
My daughter and I enjoyed our stay here. Ashley was excellent at communicating with us and her directions helped us find the house no problem (it doesn't show up on the map). The house was clean and it was clear that the owners put in a ton of time and energy into making sure that it was comfortable for guests. The house was very warm but purchasing some wood will be necessary if you plan on using their wood stove. Additionally, the view was beautiful especially in the snow and the location was pretty close to Colorado Springs, restuarants, parks, etc (30-45 minute drive). Thank you Ashley for making sure we had a great stay!
Super clean!!!! My girlfriend and I were looking for a quick getaway and this was everything we hoped for. The seclusion was amazing and the scenery just as amazing! We had such a fun time being in our own little space being able to just be there with each other! The host was super accommodating and for our first time doing this vrbo thing I can say that was the best experience we had!
