Garden Studio Retreat with non - modern relaxing & Private Entrance - Quaint

The little apartment was even better than described. Kelley was communicative, friendly, and kind. She made sure we had everything we needed and welcomed our dogs. It was cozy, comfortable, and warm (especially as it snowed while we were there.) This was our first experience staying somewhere other than a hotel and because of Kelley and how she took care of us, we will do it again--and definitely stay here again. Thank you Kelley!! :-)

Had a fantastic time at the house. Property was beautiful and we loved Molly! Kelley had great local recommendations and the ballon lift off was awesome. Host was communicative and supplied everything and then some.

Kelley was absolutely PHENOMENAL! Before we even got to the property she was very communicative and was willing to do anything She had to to allow us to check in early. The studio was even more beautiful in person! It was just plain perfect. And she got us fresh ground coffee, baked us fresh chocolate chip cookies, and gave us amazing recommendations for different places to see in Colorado Springs. My boyfriend and I couldn’t have asked for a better host and a more beautiful place to stay, if I could do 10 stars I would. Thank you again Kelley! We are more than grateful for your hospitality and kindness!

My husband, our 7.5 year old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kelley's place in Colorado Springs. Conveniently located on a major parkway and Hwy 21, it was easy to get to our local family's home and anywhere else we wanted to go. The park a couple blocks away has a gravel road/trail that connects with the paved trail all along Cottonwood Creek, allowing for easily accessible morning exercise. The small shopping area--also a couple blocks away--offers a few dining options, liquor store (with local microbrews), cleaners, a 7-11, and gas station. The space is simple, but clean, and with comfortable bed, and the kitchen essentials. The grill just outside really ups the cooking potential. The outdoor games, fire pit, and hot tub, are added bonuses. Kelley pre-blew up an air mattress for our kiddo, done up with kid-friendly jungle print, and stocked the place with all-ages films, children's books, and art supplies. Kelley and her son were incredibly hospitable. In additionto setting up the space, they responded quickly and went out of their way to meet our needs. We will definitely look to stay there again for future visits.

Good

Upon arrival, it was confusing as to where to park in this residential neighborhood. A boat and her motor home occupied the front curb of her house. She came and moved the trash can to give us a little space. It was almost dark, and she led us with a flashlight down the flight of flagstone steps. The unit is a cute, walkout basement., mostly quiet. We said we needed to go find dinner, and she lent us the flashlight. Good news: the next evening forward, the path was lit up. She said the lock was difficult on the sliding glass door. (Many times over the next 6 days we could not get it to lock.) Devices: She believed someone else had taken the correct remote to the tv, so she showed us how to turn it on by pressing underneath the monitor. I asked for the WiFi pw, it was about 26 digits. If you stay there, ask for the official printed version or have her drop it to your eDevice-it will save you a day or two of frustration and missing WiFi, trying to decipher her printing, esp the last 4 digits. The first morning, the motel coffee pack was stale, and the snax crackers had a use by 2018 date. Good news: For the second morning forward, she put a canister of fresh ground coffee in the room, and half and half, which was a lovely thing to do. The awkward start continued. The bed was creaky and not at all comfortable, and we had to move to the sofa. When we reported it, she stood the mattress and linens onto the floor. She said the last people had a child, said the box spring was broken badly. Good news: she did bring in a new one, which took care of bed. When I asked her to take away the flannel sheets which had been on it, she responded she only put them on there two days ago. I said I would put on the clean sheets, and as long as she was taking away the flannel ones, would she mind going ahead and taking the towel from the bath floor. She then sent down a bag of towels.
