The house has looks like the pictures, has plenty of space for a family, and is great for relaxing. The area is close enough to town where getting groceries or getting to the freeway is a short, easy drive. Communication was great and house was clean and cozy. In-house, handmade items local items for sale on a couple shelves was a cute touch.

Excellent Cabin and Location

We had a group of five leaders meeting at the cabin for an offsite work meeting for a few days. It was even better than the pictures showed! This was an excellent facility for us - lots of room, beautiful setting - felt like it was remote, but was only 15-20 minutes from restaurants, etc. We would definitely stay there again!

Peaceful rural setting away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to be within easy reach of all Colorado Springs attractions. Amazing mountain views from the back decks, with frequent wildlife appearances.
