With timbers sourced out of the Black Forest burn, siding from the original homestead, and beetle kill pine throughout the interior, our space holds a refined country barn ambiance.

Absolutely Beautiful
This is an incredible property. It’s easy to get to yet far enough away from the neighbors to feel like you’re in your own private space. The house is beautiful and clean and the layout is great. The property is surrounded by hills and trees. The kitchen has everything you need. The beds are comfortable. The windows let in tons of natural light. The hot tub is clean and hot. And the host is super nice and very responsive. So glad we found this place. We will definitely stay here again for our next event.

Beautiful Event Space
We really enjoyed our stay. The main area was the perfect combination of functional space and cozy home feel. We were a bit disappointed in the kitchen due to the sparse baking wares and cooking utensils. We had to get creative while doing any cooking.

We shared this home with another family for USAFA parent's weekend and it was perfect for our group. The house was super clean when we arrived and the has lots of fun touches. There was plenty of space to spread out both inside and out, and some fun games to play. The distance to the Academy was perfect for our many trips back and forth. We enjoyed it so much we already booked our next stay!

My daughter and her fiancé wanted a small destination wedding. Colorado Springs has been a favorite vacation place for our family for years.

Our beautiful wedding house!
The most magical house to have a wedding at whether it rains, snows or sleets. The house as is has its own beauty and does not need additional things done to it. Fit about 10 people comfortably in between the rehearsal and wedding both being at this house. Don’t hesitate, this house is AmAzInGgG! You will NOT regret it.

Beautiful property with some negative quirks
Overall I liked staying at this property - the loft makes it feel like you’re in a fancy treehouse inside of a house and it’s absolutely beautiful, the hot tub was lovely, and there were plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms. However, I think the hot tub was dirty or there were bed bugs or something on the property because I came back from my trip there with itchy red bumps all over my stomach; the host started us off with 4 trash bags total for a group of 11 people for an entire weekend and had no extras so we had to purchase them ourselves; each bathroom only had max half a roll of toilet paper and there was no other toilet paper in the house so we had to purchase more ourselves; the cleaning instructions at check out were fairly intensive but we still had to pay a cleaning fee and I personally feel it’s one or the other. I think it wouldn’t have cost the hosts that much to have provided trash bags and toilet paper so we didn’t have to go out of our way to purchase them. It’s a small thing but it does affect how people view the house when you refuse to provide basic necessities that will last long enough for a large group. Also the trash can and dishwasher are pretty small for the size of the house and amount of guests that can stay there.

Wedding Weekend
The property was beautiful and the owners were very accommodating to some accidental miscommunication on my part in the initial planning process. We had a large group of people staying for the weekend leading up to our wedding day. The owners had a beautiful supply of event accommodations that were part of their event package and all of our guests raved about the home. The owners even set up and took down all of the major furniture needed for the ceremony/reception. The master suite was stunning and all of the rooms were very cozy and comfortable for our guests!

This was a great experience start to finish. Alyce was easy to reach and responded almost immediately to my questions. We had my daughter's wedding here and Alyce was so helpful with all the details. The hot tub was amazing, the wifi worked perfectly, everything was ready for us. My daughter loved the upstairs room, it had plenty of space to get ready for the wedding and provided for beautiful photos. Everyone had a great time.

What a scenic place for a small wedding or a reunion.
The rustic barn feel with all the warm under-floor heating was great. The gas fireplace made for cozy talking in the living area. We loved the kitchen and dining area, as it was fully equipped and we could all 18 sit down to eat at once and be together. Lots of games and areas for the kids to play ball, jenga, cornhole, etc. and make noise in the garage. We could drive to a nearby park to hike and play football. But not really safe to hike on the nearest road. I would say that the place could use a few more couches and beds for longer stays, but for weddings and dancing, it is perfect. The washer and dryer and hot tub got lots of use! WE loved our time there with our family reunion.

About the host

Hosted by Alyce McElhoes

Host profile image
Thirty years ago we purchased 40 acres from the original homesteader of the land on a handshake deal. We subdivided the land into home-sites, built homes on them, sold them to lovely neighbors, and created covenants that protected property values but allowed for fun things to do like have animals and barns. Our 3 children grew up here and had ducks, goats, cats, dogs, motorcycles, and go carts . They went off to college, got degrees, and have come back to help with the family business. As a labor of love we all built this beautiful gathering place that we hope people will come, stay, play, and enjoy the wide open Colorado spaces that we call home.

Why they chose this property

This is a very unique, new, private, and beautiful home. Almost all of the finishes in the home are totally hand crafted. It is a very versatile property. It can easily accommodate larger groups but is also cozy and inviting for a small group. The hosts are experienced in planning both large and small events and parties and are happy to help. It is close in to some fantastic parks (like 417 acre Fox Run Park), restaurants and shopping, but sits on a peaceful 15 acres of land.

What makes this property unique

Sizable gathering areas, beautiful Colorado construction, many options for your stay. Experienced, professional, friendly, and accessible hosts ready to be a part of helping you plan your wedding, family vacation, or weekend retreat. Peaceful indoor and outdoor spaces to hang out, read a book, or sit by a fireplace. Two big screen TVs to watch a game or good movie. 6 Person Hot Tub. Great game area in a heated garage for everyone to enjoy. Private cul-de-sac road for walking or biking.
