The place was a great base to explore the Shawnee national forest and garden of the gods. The accommodations were clean and had everything we needed. The outdoor space, large yard and deck, and a fire pit, was real nice.

The home was beautiful! I wished we had more time to explore. Our family has stayed at several places due to our love to travel, and have never seen items for first aid kits and we have traveled with a small child and this was a great idea that we had never even thought of, which is a wonderful idea!

The house was very clean and spacious for our group of 3. Our contact was courteous. The house location was great for Bell Smith Spring Trails. It’s not too far from the Garden of the rocks and the Rim Rock Trail. There was a small restaurant nearby in case travelers don’t want to cook.

My mom, sister, and I stayed in this adorable house because we were exploring Shawnee National Forest. The property was located close to many beautiful natural attractions such as Garden of the Gods. This place was well stocked, clean, and owner was quick to respond to messages.

This was absolutely the perfect little get away. The house sleeps six and it was just what we needed to unwind. The basement sleeping was perfect for sleeping in and getting real rest. The house was stocked with games and movies to remind us to slow down and be present. We had a hiccup checking in, but the host helped us immediately and checked on us to make sure everything was fine. We will book again and take advantage of the restaurant down the street to make cooking easier!
