We had a great stay with our family of 7, house was big enough for everyone.. kids played in the backyard with games provided, house was in good condition. House was well equiped with everything we needed. Will definetely stay here again..
We were very happy with our stay here. The location is perfect for all the major attractions in Colorado Springs (Pikes peak, Garden of Gods etc). The check in process was very smooth and Rita was a perfect host. She was very attentive for all our needs. The house itself has a very cozy feel and out family of 6 loved relaxing here after a busy day of doing touristy stuff.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The pictures for this property make it look FANTASTIC. However, when you pull up to the house, your stomach sinks - weeds are the front yard, and there is a weed-filled, empty, dirt abyss for the back yard. Outdoor seating is limited to a handful of dirty chairs on a small deck. Kitchen is small, and walls and baseboards need a good washing. Limited stock of conveniences, such as tin foil or wrap. Fourth bedroom is down creepy stairs, in a basement right next to the hot water heater, furnace, and laundry.Towels were dirty and stained. Host sent messages early enough for a smooth check in. Camping chairs were in the shed in the back.

Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing that our communication made for a smooth check-in. We understand that parts of your stay did not meet your expectations.
We always encourage guests to let us know if anything isn't right after check-in, which is why we reach out shortly after arrival. Had we been made aware that the towels or any household supplies were not satisfactory, we would have gladly delivered fresh towels and any additional items needed during your stay.
Regarding the landscaping, Colorado experienced an exceptionally dry season, and in an effort to conserve water, we intentionally limited irrigation in the front and back yards. Since your stay, we've completed a full cleanup of the landscaping and refreshed the outdoor areas to improve their appearance.
The fourth bedroom is located in the basement, as shown in our listing photos and described in the property details. Many families and groups have enjoyed it as a private suite because it offers additional privacy, while we understand that preferences for this type of space can vary from guest to guest.
We appreciate your comments because they help us continue improving the home. Since your visit, we've refreshed the landscaping and completed a deep clean, and reviewed our cleaning and inventory procedures to ensure future guests have an even better experience. We remain committed to providing a clean, comfortable, and accurately represented home, and we hope future guests will enjoy everything our property has to offer.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Mountain Retreat of Rita and Abhi. Very nicely furnished and accessible to all that Colorado Springs has to offer. A bonus was the family park across the street and a lovely back yard at their home. Our hosts were genuinelly responsive and quick to answer any questions or needs we had. Definitely makes our list of vacation rentals for future visits to COS.

Excellent location to just about everything also don’t let ‘no washer/dryer’ keep you from this place bc the Laundry Lounge is literally 3 minutes from here. The backyard and patio was a great place to have my morning coffee and in the evening a glass of wine. Overall an AMAZING house!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad you and your family had a great time at our home. We love that you enjoyed the clean and peaceful atmosphere and the spacious backyard. We hope you'll stay with us again soon!
This house met all our needs for a girls trip. It had enough beds for all four if us, plus more in basement. 3 full bathrooms too. Kitchen was stocked with what we needed. We enjoyed the outdoor gas firepit and the house was well lit when pulling in the drive at night. We played UNO at the dining table and had coffe in the living room in mornings. Would stay there again.
The place is great. Only downside is no washer/dryer but it was my fault for not checking the listing for it. It also would have been nice to have a couple more rolls of TP. :)

Dear Laura,
Thank you! We are thrilled that you loved our place, a great laundry facility (4.8 stars) is just a 3-minute drive away from us. There were extra TP rolls in the vanity cabinets, also we welcome our guests to reach out to us regarding anything during their stay and we are happy to do anything required to make it a great stay. Like we let you know, we are just a message away. :)
Best Regards,
Rita
The home was very clean and had very nice furnishings. The best part was it was right across from a park with a playground, baseball field and trails. It is right off a busy road which you can hear from the bedrooms but it didn’t stop us from sleeping. The hosts were very helpful and responded very quickly. We were 20m from the zoo and 20m from the hospital which was why we were in town. The zoo is very cool. The house also had a great backyard for the kids and a nice outdoor deck for hanging out on.

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience, we're glad to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness, furnishings, location, and amenities of the home. We would love to host you again. :)
We paid extra for early check-in and arrived to a house with no working AC. The temperature was 77 when we arrived, reached 80, and the system only worked for about 12 hours during our entire four-night stay.What was most frustrating was the lack of urgency. A technician confirmed the fan motor was failing and needed replacement, yet no repair was made while we were there. Instead, we were told to manually restart the fan with a stick if it stopped again. After reporting the issue on Monday, we were repeatedly told a repair was being arranged, only to learn it was scheduled for after our Friday checkout. Spending our summer vacation without reliable AC is unacceptable.Communication was inconsistent and we often had to initiate contact for updates. We were also informed the host was traveling internationally, which only highlighted the lack of a reliable backup plan for handling major issues.There were additional maintenance and cleanliness issues. Many dishes, pans, and utensils had dried food on them and needed to be washed before use. The garbage disposal was left clogged by a previous guest and unusable until a handyman fixed it.The host offered 250 in compensation, which felt inadequate given that the home's primary amenity was unavailable for most of our stay.Overall, this felt like a poorly maintained property with reactive management rather than proactive upkeep. I would not stay here again nor recommend it.

Thank you for your feedback. We're genuinely sorry that the unexpected air conditioning failure impacted your stay. The system was functioning before your arrival, but unfortunately experienced a mechanical failure during one of the busiest weeks of the summer for HVAC service. As soon as you notified us, we immediately contacted multiple emergency HVAC companies, arranged technician visits, and worked diligently to secure the earliest available repair appointment. Unfortunately, the required replacement part could not be installed before your departure due to technician and parts availability.
Although we were traveling internationally at the time, we remained in constant communication, coordinated every service visit remotely, and also sent a handyman to address the garbage disposal promptly. We understand that this situation was frustrating, which is why we understood and provided a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill, despite having no obligation to do so.
We were surprised to read comments regarding cleanliness, as our home is professionally cleaned before every stay and consistently receives excellent reviews for its cleanliness. Had these concerns been brought to our attention during your stay, we would have gladly arranged for our cleaning team to return immediately, just as we offered assistance throughout your visit.
We strive to provide every guest with a five-star experience, and while unexpected mechanical failures can occur in any home, we believe the true measure of hosting is how those situations are handled. We responded quickly, remained available throughout your stay despite being overseas, coordinated multiple service professionals, and did everything possible to resolve the issue under difficult circumstances. We appreciate your feedback and have since ensured the air conditioning system has been fully repaired for future guests.
