Exceptionally clean and comfortable stay for a week in Colorado Springs. It was rainy, so we ended spending a fair amount of time inside waiting for breaks in the weather for hikes. Kitchen was well stocked and host was very responsive. I would definitely recommend!

Perfect secluded place for our weekend visit to Colorado Springs. House had everything we needed, and was cozy and comfortable. We did not want to leave. The scenic views were amazing and so close to Garden of the Gods and Manitou. Directions and instructions were clear and simple. We are definitely staying here again.

Couldn't be happier with our stay at this property...it was secluded and quiet yet VERY conveniently located to major attractions. It was beautifully appointed, super clean, and management was very responsive to questions. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the patio, sipping coffee in the mornings and enjoying the peace and quiet. Unfortunately the only photo I got of the property is a pic that my husband took of a bird that was perched on a bird statue on the patio, we thought that was kinda cute :) Can't go wrong with this property!

This listing requires to be updated and include the following: This rental is a Multi-Family Duplex Town-house, 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 story unit.The hosts live in the adjacent unit. Additional blinds/curtains need to be added for extra privacy. Especially to the block glass picture window in the kitchen/dining room area.Both bathroom fans were extremely loud and require to be replaced/updated.Rental unit was polished clean and inviting. The electric fireplace set the ambiance for a romantic dinner for 2.The view out the kitchen/dining room block glass window was of the hosts RV roof.Loved watching the Mule Deer walk down the driveway to drink from water from the bird bath, fantastic photos.The balcony has enough room for 1 person to move about but offers great views of the area.Watching the mule deer walk up and down the streets was a major bonus and fantastic photos.
