Can’t wait to book again!!

This place was perfect for our large group of 10! We had 3 families with various aged kiddos. The layout of the house and availability of beds worked great. Kids could watch movies in basement and adults could easily talk, cook and hang out in open kitchen/living room upstairs. We all enjoyed having coffee with a clear shot of Pike’s Peak in the morning! Gorgeous views from the house. Howie and Liliana were gracious, helpful hosts. We are so ready to come book this place again for next family trip!!😁

Cabin in the woods for a quiet getaway

Communication with the owners and the property manager was excellent. They provided concise directions as we neared our destination so we knew exactly where to go. The home was clean and well kept. The master has a king bed, and two other bedrooms on the main level provided room for 6 guests. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs that can sleep 4 easily. The kids enjoyed the air hockey table. The property has some real neat historical Homefront buildings and unfortunately for us, we did not fish the ponds since they were frozen over. The location is about 7 mins west of woodland park, just a short turn off of highway 24 so it was easy to get into town and also to head out further west. Enjoyable stay for a quiet getaway in the mountains.

Beautiful!

The property is just amazing. The views are stunning. The location is perfect - the house is on 50 acres so you feel like you are out in the wilderness, but you are only about 7 minutes from town. The best of both worlds! The owners are very friendly, helpful and respectful. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful scenery not to far from town

It was a beautiful place to stay. With that said, to me, it’s the little things that matter. And this place was lacking some of the “little things”. Such as the beds were not that comfortable and the shower head in one bathroom was basically non functional. We went and purchased another shower head. The owner installed it, didn’t bother to pay us back, and left trash for us to clean up when he was done. Overall it accommodated us well, but again, it’s the little things.

Beautiful house in the woods

My family (6 adults and 5 children) had an amazing stay at this wonderful house! The house itself was clean, large enough for all of us, and it was nestled in the woods with trees all around and a view of the mountains. The kids LOVED fishing and making smores in our very own chimney on the deck. They also loved exploring in the woods right outside the house. We saw many deer and chipmunks. Wendell was extremely responsive to all of our requests. We especially appreciate that he immediately brought up a new propane tank when ours ran out in the middle of BBQing dinner! The kids also loved it when he took them to help him feed the fish one night. It was a joyful time for our family.

Wonderful secluded home

We enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again. We had 2 families with 11 people total and there was plenty of space for everyone. Home was very clean. Owner lives on the property in another location so if we had questions he was nearby. Kids loved fishing in the trout pond. Only negative was the condition of the deck off the kitchen. Definitely needs to be replaced soon. Otherwise it’s a fantastic property.

Clean but not remote

The property was beautiful and the care that the owner and property manager took of the property was wonderful. I did feel that the pictures and description were a bit deceiving. The property owner may have 50 acres of land, but you are sharing it with two other houses and 2 RV’s. The lake and fire pits are not truly adjacent to the houses, but rather in the middle of the shared area. You need to reserve a fire pit and the driveway in is shared between all the houses, so from the beginning you do not feel like you are in a private location.

Rocky Mountain High

Our group had an excellent time. The house is huge, the furnishing is awesome, the view is magnificent and the gentle breeze through the trees is both calming and inspirational. Out in the country and secluded, but just a few short minutes from Woodland Park. If your bedroom is on the ground floor, I recommend that you keep the blinds open so that the local ambassador (about a 2-year old doe) can take your breakfast order. Of course if you are bashful, you might want to reconsider. Thanks again Liliana and Wendell for your over-the-top hospitality! Highly recommend!

We stayed here fir an extended family vacation. The house was great with beautiful views. Our kids liked the fishing ponds and fire pit. We had fun making s’mores. Lillie and Wendel were attentive to any issue we had and responded right away. The house is remote but a quick drive into Woodland Park for restaurants.and groceries. We would recommend this property to anyone.

About the host

Host profile image
As a former Dallas banker & business owner we traveled to Colordo every year.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the property back in 1999 with my father and brother. In 2001 we had finished our homes. Mine and my brothers homes are approximate approximately 4000 Sq Ft. with my fathers at around 2000 Sq Ft. located right on one of the Trout Ponds. (He fishes from his deck).

What makes this property unique

The Trout Creek Ranch is an incredible property with a stream (Trout Creek) running through the middle of the Valley thru two Trout Ponds. We have so enjoyed the property with nearby access to over 150 miles of trails through the National Forest. We are only 5 minutes from the town of Woodland Park and 25 minutes from Colorado Springs.
