Felt like home

Incredible vacation rental that felt just like being at home. House was beautiful and the inside lovely. All the interior furnishings made the place very comfortable and relaxing. The nature of our stay didn’t allow to truly enjoy all the amenities. When communicating with the owners their responses were always prompt and pleasant. Will definitely try to rent this place again on our next trip to Colorado Springs.

Spring Break Fun

This house was great! It’s plenty big enough and clean. We loved the extra special touches of the candies and snacks that were placed around. Also plenty of items like paper towels, toilet paper, all kinds of condiments and cooking supplies. The location was great for all things Colorado Springs. One of the best stays we’ve had in a VRBO! With that all being said, please note that as stated in the description the owners sometimes do stay in the basement living area during your stay. This is not a complaint just more of an observation. They are totally quiet and we did not even have any times where paths crossed. One thing worth mentioning though is when they are there and they cook, the smell will drift up into the house. Again not a complaint but make sure you know this before agreeing to rent. Still with all that we loved it and would stay again.

Simply AMAZING!!!

The home and the owners were just amazing. We traveled to the area to visit our son currently stationed near the area. We traveled over Christmas and the owners had the home so beautifully decorated for the holiday! It was fantastic from start to finish! Beautiful home! They even left us several snack baskets with little snacks and treats that everyone enjoyed. They asked for recommendations for anything that could be improved and I could Not think of a single thing. We cooked several meals and they had every item we could possibly need. Plenty of towels, blankets. EVERYTHING! We will definitely be back and we will definitely stay here again!!

Comfy Like Home

Wendy and John are superb hosts!! Although we never met them, we felt like we were good friends over for a visit. The kitchen was pristine, organized, and stocked with many of the basics if you wanted to cook or entertain. The house was cozy and relaxing. There were snacks provided for nibbling. We stayed in December, a tree was up with Christmas decorations around the home. All of this was perfect! Our family had come to Colorado with my mother to visit our daughter who is a performer, she was in town for a few months performing. It meant so much for all of us to be together as a family, in a warm inviting home during the holidays while we were all so far from our own homes. We all had a memorable stay. Love and thanks!

Gold Standard!!

John and Wendy are the Gold standard hosts on VRBO! We have stayed at many VRBO Properties that have been nice but none have been as well thought out for the guests! We watch Vacation House Rules and one of their bulletin points is Be Your Guest. John and Wendy have totally embraced this motto for their property! From the variety of waters in the fridge, to the breakfast bar selection, to the individual bags of chips available, to a FULLY stocked kitchen, extra linens, additional items in the medicine cabinets, assortment of games, baby supplies and the list goes on! Everything is clearly labeled to make navigating the lights, fireplace and TVs very easy! The property is super clean with supplies available if you need them during your stay. The location is great! It’s very near shopping and a ton of restaurants.

Family vacation in Colorado Springs

My family (7 adults) enjoyed a weeklong stay and couldn't have been more pleased. All the accommodations were excellent and communication with the owners was great. We really had a fun time playing some of the many provided board games in the evening after dinner. How fortunate and timely that Peacock streaming service was provided as it was Olympics time and we all had a chance to watch the events together. The house is easily accessible to sights and activities in Colorado Springs area especially The Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs. Denver is just over an hour away and we had a great time visiting Coors Field for a Mets/Rockies game. We wouldn't hesitate to vacation here again

Very spacious for a combined family with comfortable sleeping space for everyone, large family room, dining room and well-equipped kitchen. The roomy deck was a great place for morning coffee and the back yard provided a space for the kids to play outdoor games. All the little extras from bowls of snacks, toiletries, and pantry dry goods made our stay feel extra special.
