About the host
Hosted by Rachel Losey

After growing up in a busy metropolitan area, I set out to find a place that spoke to me and fit my life. The first time I visited Springs I was hooked, specifically the charming, funky west side. It would be another thirteen years before I got to call it home, but it drew me right back in immediately. I love the small-town feel, the incredible neighbors we get to call our friends, and the abundant access to connect with nature.
A massage therapist by trade, my profession is currently on hold as I raise an energetic little lady in my every waking hour. You’ll find us roaming trails, building forts, or-my FAVORITE-paddling any body of water we can get to.
I love people and travel, and hosting has given me the chance to experience both in a new, broader way. To share the home we love with people from all over the world is such a delight. I love to connect personally with my guests, and make it my aim to welcome you as best as I possibly can. I look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property
Old Colorado City offers such a welcoming feel. From walking the tree-lined streets, to easy access for restaurants and events both downtown and in OCC, it doesn't take long to feel right at home. (Fun fact: 9 of the top 10 restaurants on yelp in Colorado Springs are within 2 miles of our home!) Convenient location with the peace and quiet of being tucked far away from the city, it's the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
We personally oversee and manage our home; no corporation or middle man. Each guest is unique to me and we strive to make every stay personal and welcoming. Every person who assists with maintaining the property is a trusted and valued friend, and we have wonderful, helpful neighbors as well. We take pride in making our home a place you’ll remember for years.
