RESPECT TOWARD NEIGHBORS:
We love to welcome guests that are seeking a quiet and restful setting. The neighborhood is home to longtime neighbors and we expect that guests will be respectful of the surrounding environment. If you're seeking to party or have kids that will not respect neighboring properties, this is likely not the right home for you. To help maintain a tranquil setting, we use a noise monitoring device which is 100% privacy compliant and endorsed by VRBO. It does NOT record actual sounds or conversations, it simply monitors the noise level (measured in decibels) so that our home is being used for residential purposes, not wild parties. We look forward to hosting you at our Circus House.

RENTAL AGREEMENT:
Upon reservation confirmation, Guest will need to complete a Rental Agreement which outlines the terms and conditions for use of our property. This is the same as the terms listed on VRBO but we require your signature as a condition of our permit with the city.

City of Colorado Springs approved short term rental permit #0214

Clean, cute, well kept house

This is the second time I stayed at this property, and I enjoyed my trip both times. The house is so clean, and the seating areas (love sitting by the fireplace!) and beds are comfortable. I enjoy looking at the decor in the house, and learning about the history behind it. The host promptly responds to questions, and the whole process was smooth and easy from check in to check out.

Easy Access to NEI Conference

The circus theme of the home is fun and refreshing! There was plenty of space for each of us and it is close and easy access to the NEI conference, which was located at the Broadmoor. The host was easy to communicate with and replied quickly to any inquiries we had. Would highly recommend this home and would stay again.

Family Time

A most enjoyable stay even with an unexpected 10 inch snowfall. Great location near many of the major attractions in Colorado Springs, yet off the beaten path in a quiet residential neighborhood. Having a home instead of a room was a world of difference for the better. Would stay again if the situation presents itself

Amazing Fun Home

This house was perfect! There was a good amount of stores in walking distance and the bigger attractions were just a 15-20 minute drive away. The house was perfect, from having games for everyone to enjoy to a lovely private backyard (with a grill!). 10/10, will be booking again when I am back in Colorado Springs!

Location Is Great

Such a creative house to stay at. Very clean, there were comfy beds. Plenty of linens and pillows. Lots of room to eat together. If you are over 6 foot 2 you might not fair so well upstairs. Elderly in a walker friendly. Close to shopping which makes getting the essentials a breeze. Location is perfect for a USAFA graduation. Yes there is an iron! I highly recommend!

Bug-Infested Circus

Aside from being outright tacky, this place is a glorified bug motel. We had 4 kinds of bugs pop out from everywhere, forcing us to find another property in a hurry. I have the photo evidence. We were scared to catch Lyme disease inside the house. The cupboards reek- forcing you to wash all the cups and plates prior to use. The appliances are dated- the a/c barely cooled. The strange decoration gets stranger when you realize bugs are creeping up the walls and falling in the middle of the dining table. The owner and host were anything but hospitable. We had to call the police on the owner for her to return a computer we accidentally left behind because she refused to surrender it voluntarily. Stay away from this circus! It’s bound to make your vacation a nightmare!

Great location

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is an older building but the owners keep it in immaculate shape and take care of it well. It had everything we needed for our stay. The kids LOVED the fusballl table as well as having the upstairs for themselves. We were there during winter and while most days the temps were mild, an unusually cold front came through for two days. We had problems with the heating on the first floor and Mary Kay sent out a maintenance guy immediately with spare heaters while he checked things over. The second floor never got cold and was always toasty warm. The fireplace is easy to use and adds warmth to the evenings in the living room. It was a quiet safe neighborhood and in a great location. If it was warmer we would have walked to the Edelweiss German restaurant. It was so good we went there twice! We would come back again to stay at this cottage again. Thank you!

Interesting home

Don't let the no air conditioner stop you, we were there when the day temps were in the 90's but with the fan in the upstairs and opening windows when the sun went down it cooled the house just fine. Great location, you are right in the middle of everything and the creek is very relaxing to listen to. Would love to know the history and see old pictures of the house.

This house is everything as advertised. It was comfortable and well stocked with anything we needed. We brought extra fans with us, as there is no a/c. Thank goodness we did…I think we brought the heat from TX with us!! If you’re used to living/sleeping in cooler temperatures, bring extra fans. It was a great stay and the property was pretty close to perfect for our family!

Great owners - very cold house

Upon our arrival during the coldest week in February in years (sub zero) and after a long days of traveling with kids, we arrived to an ice cold house in the evening hours. We cranked up the heat to take the chill off but to no avail. After 3 hours of shivering and bundling we finally had to call. The owners said the previous guests turned the heat all the way down. And while that >might< be the case, this is still a very cold and drafty house.
