The cabin and amenities were great. The cabin is in a great location to all there is to see and do in the area. Our family enjoyed our stay and we look forward to coming back to stay. Lena Samford
This property was perfect for our family vacation. The open layout of the house and large dining table allowed us to eat and spend time together. The view of Pikes Peak was amazing, from the deck and great room windows. The location of the house was central to all the activities we planned.
Over all a great place to stay. Lots of great room and the beds were great. House is a little outdated and shows signs of wear, but nothing bad. One note is the property owner has a policy to replace toilet paper and paper towels… that’s not customary and for the price I feel is not needed. Also a little bit of trash was noted around the dumpster that needed cleaned up when we arrived and eventually attracted a visit from a local bear looking for a free meal… the bear fist was exciting but could be avoided if the trash was all picked up. Also the deck only had one small table and 4 chairs. With a house that sleeps 10+ more outside seating would be nice. So if you have some chairs that you can bring that would be helpful. But overall I give it a thumbs up. The manager was very easy to work with and communicated very well.
Beautiful property with good views and plenty of space for our family
It was excellent....no complaints
We enjoyed our time in Colorado and having a nice house to return to every night made it a amazing trip. The house was well kept with everything needed to make it the best trip possible. It is hard to beat waking up in the mornings and seeing the view of Pikes peak that this house provides. The property owner was always in contact with us from day one.
The house was just as described! We appreciate getting the extra night and love how well equipped the house was! There were a few things that could have been cleaned better but we are all human! Great property and good communication!
The property was perfect and we we're able to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. Beautiful scenery, all the amenities, and we were able to enjoy the World Cup!
This house was perfect for our family reunion! Grandma and grandpa live in the neighborhood so it was super convenient. We hosted a couple of meals and easily had 22 people there. The only drawback was that the stove had clearly not been cleaned in a long time, and the house could use a dusting and better cleaning of the floors before the next renters. Jennifer was very responsive when the internet went out and we got it restored within a day. Thank you! I highly recommend this place!
Group of 4 and plenty of space. We saw lots of wildlife including deer, fox, bear and many birds. Feeding the deer was a pleasant surprise. Enjoyed sunrise and sunsets on the deck. The indoor grill was a plus as it rained a couple evenings and was a little cooler than expected for August. Close to many attractions that we visited in Co Springs, Manitou Springs and Royal Gorge Bridge area. Overall-a great place to stay and we enjoyed our week here.
Amenities were awesome. Everything we needed to make our vacation a success. Games, food for the deer, condiments, fans, etc. Within 30-40 miles of 3 great reservoirs. (Did not catch anything - will have to come back next year and get the fish that got away!) Could not ask for more. The road is washer board - so drive slow!
The property was not only beautiful and spacious but had everything we needed for our week gathering. We enjoyed our time, slept well and relished the scenery and wildlife sightings. We were definitely not disappointed! Thanks! Susan
It was everything advertised. Great views of the mountains. Very quiet area. Easy to get around. Would stay again if we get the opportunity. Thanks so much.
The options for a family of nine are limited but we had no problem here! Everyone had their own bed, the community spaces were open so we could all move around during meal prep and dinning without issue. Both the upper and lower lounge areas were inviting and the right size for so many. Extra towels, pillows, and bedding were available. We were able to keep up with our laundry, which was great. Animals were active and fun to watch. Location is just outside of the populated urban areas but close enough to get somewhere for an activity or supplies. Owner was tentative with our pre-travel questions and only a phone call away had a need risen. Overall a great stay!
Our trip was amazing in so many ways. This cabin offered a home away from home with unbelievable views and wildlife. The water was a little colder than we would have preferred for showers but all in all a great stay and we will be back. Definitely recommend!
This was our second time to visit because we enjoyed our first time staying there and we also enjoyed our second time as well. We didn’t have any wildlife the first few days, but eventually we finally did get to see the deer. Many of them. We like relaxing at this place and enjoy the views of Pikes Peak.
